The Results Are In: Recast The Nanny

BuzzSugar — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 15:34:28 PST

Every other Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I post a Recast challenge, where I ask you to choose new actors for a classic TV show or movie. The reader who submits the best cast wins a BuzzSugar t-shirt!

There were plenty of great suggestions for this first recast challenge of 2008! I especially loved the ideas for new actresses to play Fran Fine. My favorites include ChrissyBaby's idea of Ana Ortiz, and kersalli's suggestion of Sandra Bullock.

I also enjoyed the suggestions for the part of Niles, from foudini's idea of Steve Carell, to Hugh Laurie, as WhiplashGirlchild and supertramp suggested.

However, my favorite list this week comes from megan921! To see who megan921 chose, along with a new cast photo,

Recast The Nanny and Win a Prize!

BuzzSugar — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 14:30:22 PST

Every other Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I post a Recast challenge, where I ask you to choose new actors for a classic TV show or movie. The reader who submits the best cast wins a BuzzSugar t-shirt!

As the show's official website points out, The Nanny was a matter of "blue collar meets blue blood," with the Queens-bred Franny Fine (Fran Drescher) bringing some of her straightforward, nasally attitude to one lucky Upper East Side family. One might say it's like Gossip Girl meets Ugly Betty - but with Fran Drescher.

If you could recast this '90s sitcom, who could you put in Franny Fine's role? Then there's the wealthy family she joins up with: Maxwell Sheffield and his three kids, Maggie, Brighton, and Grace. Niles the butler played a big enough role to include, as did Maxwell's business partner, C.C. Babcock.

Leave your entry in the comment section below, and I'll pick one winner to feature Tuesday, Jan. 8, complete with a "new" cast photo. And thanks to reader ChrissyBaby for this recast suggestion!

Be on the Lookout For Baby Goods Vending Machines This Summer

Rebecca M Gruber — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 13:31:51 PDT

Who's ever opened a new pack of diapers, headed out for the day, and suddenly realized that just-opened pack of nappies is still sitting on the changing table, while your diaper bag sits devoid of the things? Whether it's a missing diaper, dried out wipes, or delinquent sippy cup, rushing mamas have a tendency to run out the door with a half-packed bag lacking a few of their daily necessities. That's where the Nanny Caddy comes in. The tot-centric vending machines are filled with everything a diaper-changing mama may need – and more (including three sizes of diapers, Tylenol, toilet seat covers, hand sanitizer, and bandages). Currently located at several children's museums around the country, as well as a few zoos and amusement parks, the machines can save parents from abruptly ending a family outing when a diaper blowout occurs.

Have you seen, or tried, a baby-item vending machine yet?

J Lo Shows Her Abs on the Beach With Shirtless Casper Smart, Max, and Emme

Lauren Turner — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 13:00:39 PST

Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart took advantage of the sunny weather on Sunday with a trip to the beach in Malibu. Jennifer's twins, Max and Emme, were along for the sandy beach day as was a nanny, who took pictures of the group. J Lo and Casper are back on the West Coast after a visit to NYC, where J Lo promoted her new reality series ¡Q'Viva! The Chosen. Casper was by her side during the press tour, which also took them to Miami for a photo shoot. J Lo broke down into tears on the balcony of her Florida hotel during the stay, and later shared that she was crying because she missed her kids. It looks like she was happy to be back with the little ones over the weekend as they played near the water. There will be even more to celebrate soon, since Max and Emme turn four years old later this month.

Heidi Klum Treats Her Four Kids to a Saturday Lunch Special

Allie Merriam — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 01:59:00 PST

Heidi Klum treated her four children to lunch in LA on Saturday. She left a restaurant in Brentwood hand in hand with her oldest, Leni, and was followed by two nannies, Lou, Henry, and Johan. Heidi has been keeping her kids' schedules as normal as possible in the aftermath of her and Seal's split. Despite their plans to divorce, Heidi Klum and Seal wear wedding rings still - she had hers on for the weekend meal. They're still apparently going forward with their separation, and she recently thanked fans for their support. She wrote on Twitter, "I want to thank you for all your support and kind words. Really means so much. Thanks again."

Mommy Dearest: My Nanny's Breath Stinks!

LilSugar — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 03:18:33 PST

Mommy Dearest -

We love our nanny - she takes amazing care of my son every day. But all of a sudden, her breath is so bad, that I honestly can't be around her and I actually think it's really gross that my son is around it all day. How do I address this with her?

Any money she makes, she sends to her kids back home, so I doubt that she wants to pay for a dentist, but it's so gross that I am at the point where I have to position myself away from her and I feel really badly for my son.

If I make her a dentist appointment, then do I need to pay for it?

Thank goodness for the modern Mary Poppins! A full-time nanny is an essential, treasured member of the family. She functions as mama's surrogate, tending to scraped knees and celebrating successes at school, so her gift will reflect her valued place within the family. Money may be standard holiday operating procedure for many families (one to two weeks of salary seems to be standard), but others try to bestow a gift on their caretaker.
