Boo Effing Hoo! She Didn't Even Get a Date!

GiggleSugar — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 07:00:00 PST

This is one of the worst experiences of this Momma's Boys contestant's life. (Starving folks and people in war torn nations are all collectively rolling their eyes.) What is it, you say? Well, you'll hear it from her like a bazillion times, but it seems that this psycho went through all this trouble to grab her 15 minutes of narcissistic fame, and she didn't even get a date. Did you hear that? Did. Not. Even. Get. A. Date. Things could have been worse, Cara. You could have broken a nail!

First Look: Momma's Boys

BuzzSugar — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 08:30:46 PST

So far, most of what Ryan Seacrest has touched has turned to entertainment gold - but will that be the case for Momma's Boys? The Seacrest-produced reality show, which is basically The Bachelor if the guys' moms were in the house, too, starts airing Dec. 16.

From the looks of the first clips, it's going to be a doozy. There's a lot of dramatic "Whose love will reign supreme - the girls . . . or the moms?" narration and scenes with crying moms telling their sons that none of the girls could ever be good enough. There's also one mom who's (um, how to put this delicately?) a little bit racist, and she's definitely not afraid to let her feelings show when the producers let her "catch" her son kissing someone she finds undesirable. Yikes. Besides that, there are just so many awkward scenes, like one where the mom climbs into the pool alongside her son and the girl he's hitting on. It's trainwreck TV at its best - or worst, depending on how you feel about that sort of thing.

Do you think you'll give Momma's Boys a shot? To watch a clip of Seacrest and his mom talking about the show, plus an extended trailer with a lot of footage from the season, just

Ryan Seacrest: Momma's Boy

BuzzSugar — Mon, 12 May 2008 15:30:21 PDT

NBC might have made most of its big programming announcements early, but that doesn't mean the network is staying out of the spotlight entirely at this year's upfronts. Today, the network announced it will team with Ryan Seacrest for a dating show called Momma's Boys, in which a group of mothers will attempt to choose the appropriate mates for their eligible-bachelor sons.

According to NBC, the show will pose the ultimate question: "Who is really the most important woman in every man's life?"

Conflict results when numerous mothers and their eligible bachelor sons are housed together with several "brides-to-be." As the tension mounts, viewers will watch the controlling mothers search for their son's perfect mate.

The press release also describes the sons as "complacent" . . . so yeah, sounds like these ladies will end up with quite the catch.

Seacrest is only on board to produce - not host - at the moment, but that didn't stop him from waxing poetic about his own momma in the press release: "Anytime I make a decision either personally or professionally, I have to ask myself . . . what would my mother say? Like it or not, I am a true momma's boy."

Would you check out this dating series, or is it all just more of the same?

Four Girls, One Room: How to Share a Space With Style

Kate Stahl — Fri, 18 May 2012 08:03:14 PDT

We're not the only ones who have redecorated our houses with a little help from Pinterest. When Shannon of Googie Momma was brainstorming how to fit her five children (four girls, one boy) into two bedrooms, a pin from another mom-to-many blogger inspired her to create a bunk room for her girls. The end result was a magical shared space for four little heads to rest. Keep reading to check out all the red, aqua, and striped details. They might even inspire you to try for four kids - or at least to host some super-fun sleepovers!

"I Can't Stand My Boyfriend's Mother"

Tres Community — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 03:05:00 PST

This question is from a Group Therapy post in our TrèsSugar Community. Add your advice in the comments!

They are attached at the hip. My boyfriend constantly complains about her all the time but he's like a momma's boy whenever they're together. It's annoying. They hug and dance and do weird things together, while I'm there. I also CAN'T stand when the mother tries to one up me- like telling me things as if I don't know. It sounds petty and crazy but I swear she does it. She wants to be better than me in a weird way. She wants to make sure that I know she knows him better. I want to get to know everything about him in time and on my own terms. Also, the other day we were talking and I was joking around and said "I am the princess! Wait no the queen!" And out of the blue, he says, "You'll have to talk to my mom about that one." It was very creepy. I am so annoyed about hearing how great his mother is at cooking too. Would he prefer to live with her his entire life? Sounds it. His mother controls every aspect of his life. He's 20 and has a curfew. The one night I had to stay over because the roads were bad, and he wouldn't even sneak over to the room I was sleeping in... I'm just sick of it all. I mean, I feel like his mother is always first and she purposely does things to make sure she's #1. Am I crazy here?

True Blood Bites: Season Four Premiere, "She's Not There"

Shannon Vestal — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 07:53:40 PDT

True Blood is back! Season four returns with Sookie exploring her true lineage, but something is rotten in fairyland. For all the blood and sex that we've come to expect from this show, the premiere is surprisingly tame. But with an unexpected time lapse, there's still a lot to wrap your head around.

As un-bloody as this episode is, I'm still so psyched that True Blood has returned. Let's herald its Summer resurrection by recapping what happened this week when you

Most Misleading Magical Realm: The episode opens with Sookie in a beautiful, oddly-lit fairyland after she had taken Claudine's (her godmother) hand in the third season finale. Everything is pretty and idyllic - especially when Sookie spies her long-lost grandfather Earl. But when Sookie gets wise that the delicious fruit everyone is feasting on is a trap, she essentially starts a riot against Queen Mab, exposing the realm for what it is: a dark, dangerous, scary place. Claudine's brother manages to get Sookie and Earl back on earth, escaping Mab and her intent to harvest humans.

Most Surprising Time Jump: Unlike True Blood's previous season premieres, in which we pick up right after the finale, season four jumps forward. It's because Sookie has been in fairyland, and fairyland does not have time rules. What she thought was a few minutes was actually about a year. Cue Sookie arriving back at home to find her house sold, Jason a cop, and everyone else in town having moved on.

Most Changed Character: Tara has evolved the most in a year; she's got a new job as a cage fighter (so Ryan from The O.C.'s latter days), she's now in a serious relationship with another woman (fellow cage fighter Naomi), and she's going by "Toni." Even though she has relocated to New Orleans, her new life can't keep her away from her hometown when she finds out that Sookie is back.

Most Devoted Display of Commitment: Lafayette supports his boyfriend Jesus by attending his weird coven meetings. Jesus wants Lafayette to embrace his gifts; Lafayette would rather look cool with his new Mr. T haircut. Leading the group is Marnie, who seems to sense that Lafayette is special. In a coven breakthrough, it's Lafayette's presence that brings Marnie's deceased bird back from the dead.

Shortest Honeymoon Period: Jessica and Hoyt have been living together for a year, but they're already on the rocks. Not one for domesticity, Jessica doesn't cook for her man, and her man is getting tired of being her feast. They have an egg-tastic fight, but then make up over (bloody) drinks at Fangtasia, where Jessica flirts with another human guy, but resists going any further.

Least Evident New Parent Glow: Terry and Arlene now have a healthy, smart baby boy - who might just have the devil in him. Rene's progeny clearly worries Arlene more than Terry; when Arlene catches her tot tearing the heads of Barbie dolls, she gives him a talking to about how killing people is not cool. Hopefully that baby's not his father's son - for Arlene's fragile sanity, at least.

Most Drunken Support Group: Sam deals with the fallout of shooting Tommy with a new group - a shapeshifter group. They share, they drink, they shift together. One of the group members also catches Sam's eye: a beautiful shifter/teacher named Luna.

Most Ungracious Act: Jason has really become quite responsible; not only is he a big Bon Temps cop, he kept his promise to Crystal to look after the people of Hotshot. But when he brings a fresh supply of food to the townspeople, they betray him and toss him in an icebox.

Weirdest New Relationship: Tommy is alive! But, evidently, Sam did shoot him in the leg, and he's now paying for Tommy's physical therapy and attending anger management classes. But the oddest thing is Tommy's new attitude and arrangement; he's escorted by Maxine, Hoyt's mother; is he a surrogate for Hoyt now that he has abandoned his momma?

Most Surprising Monarch: Well, I guess we know who won the fight between Bill and the vampire queen. Bill shows up as a charismatic politician and also - in the episode's final reveal - Louisiana's vampire king. We find out because we see that one of the members of Lafayette and Jesus's new coven is reporting back to him about the witches' activity.

Best Real Estate Development: When Sookie comes back from fairyland, she has a rude homecoming: her house has been sold. The mystery buyer is some big corporation, Jason surmises, and they've made a lot of renovations on Gran's house. Sookie wants to see if they can give the buyer their money back, but the buyer is not really the best negotiator: it's Eric, and he has purchased the house so that he can always come in. Oh, and he'd like to have the same privileges with Sookie, he implies as he bares his fangs and the episode ends.

So how did you feel about the premiere? After a whole year of its absence, was the return everything you hoped it would be? Chat with me in the comments, and make sure you come back to discuss each episode the rest of the season!
