Emma Gilbey Keller on Motherhood, Careers and Sarah Palin

I have no issue with the mother of five holding political office IF she’s qualified for the office she holds. The fact that Palin and the Republican campaign are pimping her children to sell her virtue is a little much. Then to scream, “Leave the children out of it,” every time something is said about the children - which is not favorable to Palin’s image, is getting tired. I will not judge her as a mother - I have no doubt she loves her children. There are things she’s done that I wouldn’t do. But every parent is different. Technically, I’ve never given birth or adopted, so I’m not a mother. However, I have had a rotating cast of 13 young gay men (18-22) live with me over the past three years. My role has been very parental. There are rules, there are lectures. My mothers words come out of my mouth constantly (which was quite disturbing in the beginning). I would never advise 17 -18 year-olds to get married. Having a baby at that age will be hard enough. Throwing a marriage (which is likely to fail) into the mix is a lot of pressure for a child of 17. Again - this is not a judgement of Palin as a mother - this is my opinion about a situation that is too much too soon. If the Republicans want the “mom” stuff to stop coming up Palin has to stop marketing her soldier son, pregnant daughter, and special needs baby! We get it: You’re every woman - now prove that you have the political experience to sit in the second most powerful chair in the free world! I don’t think Palin even comes close to having what the job requires. This has nothing to do with being a mother - it has to do with lack of experience and extreme beliefs.

What Should Britney Spears's Next Career Move Be? Liz Smith Gives Advice to the Star on Fox News (Video)

I think Britney should take some time with her kids and living calmly out of the spotlight for a while. Hopefully a joint custody agreement can be reached. Britney has been a product since childhood - I think she just needs to be a person for a while. I was glad to see her looking well and happy on the show. I hope her road continues to be healthy and empowering.

50 Years After Execution, Proof That Ethel Rosenberg Wasn't Guilty of Cold-War Espionage?

From what I understand there has been lots of questions as to the evidence which sent the Rosenbergs to their deaths. I’m not surprised by this latest news and will be watching as things unfold. I remain an opponent of the death penalty - executing innocents is just one reason.

Will Tina Fey Play Sarah Palin on 'SNL' Season Premiere?

My friends and I have been HOPING Tina Fey would come back to SNL since Palin was announced! If not, Michales should get Gena Gershon: her Palin impersonation is pretty good!

Liz Smith Exclusive: Billie Jean King Says if Barack Had Taken Hillary, It Would Have Been a Landslide

Great interview! BJK is a LEGEND! I agree- if Clinton were on the ticket we would NOT be looking at a McCain Palin ticket. It would be nice if Biden backed out and Obama invited Clinton onboard. No offense to Biden - but I think the Democrats may have handed the election to McCain. I hope I’m wrong - but have a bad feeling in my gut.

Margo Howard Asks: If McCain Succeeds With the Palin Maneuver, What's Next?

Palin is not a stupid women - which makes her very dangerous. She is under-qualified and over-extreme. Heaven help the entire planet if McCain takes office and falls ill AGAIN. The woman will NOT do well with power. We’re basically screwed if she takes the helm.

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson to Wed? Lohan Fuels Wedding Rumors With 'Engagement' Ring

I wonder if God condones driving while intoxicated and driving without a license? Michael Lohan spent 2.5 years in jail, for these infractions as well as parole violations, before “Finding God” - Perhaps he and God shared a cell? Sadly, judgment is a huge part of Christianity. I hope Lindsay is happy. She is probably better of without her father’s involvement in her life. He is a parent who has capitalized on his children for years - every chance he gets for media attention: He is there, without regard for the impact it will have on his children. A proper father would decline comment on personal family matters. Michael Lohan should be praying to his new found God for guidance as he is ill behaved and not a very gracious Christian.

22-Year-Old 'Natalie Dylan' Auctions Off Virginity

Yeah Girl! I don’t get why her virtue is worth so damn much? Every last one of us came into this world a virgin. It’s not the Hope Diamond! I hope nobody bids more than 10 bucks. This little girl needs to be brought down a few notches. She is not as fab as she thinks she is. I’ve slept with better looking and it didn’t cost one red cent! She needs to get over herself. OY!

Gina Gershon Strips Down Sarah Palin (Video)

The Republican party opened the door to satire on Palin’s “hotness” when they handed out buttons at the RNC that read, “Sarah Palin - The Hottest Governor From The Coldest State.” One cannot say “I’m Hot” and it not be sexist - but then- call it sexist when others take off with it. “Hot” does NOT become sexist just because it is a joke. Palin was also featured on an Alaskan travel magazine under the caption, “America’s Hottest Governor.” Clearly Palin has no issue with being perceived as “HOT.” This is one for john stossel: “Give me a break!”

Gina Gershon Strips Down Sarah Palin (Video)

This is satire - I think it’s funny. Gershon rocks! Funny Or Die makes some great videos, which are meant to be “Funny.” Their Paris Hilton response to the McCain ad slamming her, Britney, and Obama was brilliant. I think this election needs a little levity. Something beyond the “outrage” over “lipstick on pigs.”

22-Year-Old 'Natalie Dylan' Auctions Off Virginity

Through this process, I’m not just looking for the highest bidder,” Dylan said to “The Insider.” “I’m looking for someone who is a genuine, great person.” Umm - a genuine, great person would not be purchasing a roll in the hay with an attractive virgin. Seriously! There are women on the streets trying to feed their children - where is the “Insider” for their stories? This girl may be paying off student loans - but she should be trying to get a refund: clearly she didn’t get much of an education.

HerTube: A Broadway Classic

Betty Buckley is AMAZING! I was lucky enough to catch a limited run of “Cats” in Toronto this past winter. Though Buckley was not part of the cast - it was great to see the show live again. Thanks for this video!

Candice Bergen: A City Holds Its Collective Breath

This is a day that all will remember. At the time I worked in aerospace - near Toronto’s Pearson International Airport. On an average day a plane flew over every few minutes. That day the sky fell silent and the area was overrun with military men and guns. The jet fuel depots were considered possible targets. All of this was alarming: but nothing was worse than the deafening silence that filled the skies for days. This is the ONLY time in my life I ever craved noise. As I watch the silly antics of “lipstick on pigs” I long for something that makes sense in politics - I also long for the fellowship of all men and women - which fell away shortly after 9-11 sank into the shadows of history. We should remember the people who lost lives and we should remember that we are all in this life thing together. It often seems a lesson in compassion has been lost. Peace, Pamela

Liz Smith: Oh My Foes and Oh My Friends!

Hey Linda, I understand what you’re saying. Whoopi is the moderator - but that doesn’t mean she has to shut Elizabeth up when she is expressing the less popular view. I don’t know what’s in Whoopi’s wallet, but I will wager she doesn’t need the view to make the rent. The View is not “Firing Line” or “The Situation Room,” they have one hour to cover hot topics and get to the guests. Joy Behar, was on Larry King last night. She said something to the effect of: just because we don’t always agree it doesn’t mean we don’t like each other. I don’t think anyone claims that the View is a “lovefest,” yet - we don’t have to be moved to hatred because someone doesn’t see things our way. I think Elizabeth is young and passionate about her beliefs. I don’t agree with much of what she says but, again, she has the right to speak - especially on a show called “The View.” I believe it is the REAL Whoopi on that show everyday. Like the rest of us - she probably chooses her battles. Some days it’s better to just let EH rant - at the end of the day she does her-self more damage than a co-host telling her to zip it. I also hope the US does not go down a path that will screw all of us further - but whether Whoopi tells Elizabeth to shut it or not won’t make much difference in the outcome. I respect Whoopi as an intelligent woman - but I don’t think she holds the power to who wins the election. If only she did!
