Unlike a lot of my friends, I'm not an anti-princess mom. Or even an anti-Disney mom. Which is why when I heard that Disney is coming out with Sofia the First -- aimed at 2 to 7 year olds -- in which the main character is a little girl, I smiled, rather than sharpened my pitchfork.

But let me clarify.

Actually, I'll let Einstein do it for me:

Jason Alexander Crusades for White People Devastated by Netflix (VIDEO)

Netflix has raised their prices by $6 a month and many are seriously considering boycotting the DVD rental place because of it. And to those people, Jason Alexander (and I, too) must say one thing: CHILLAX.

Seriously, people. We are talking about a few dollars per month for movies. Get over it. The new plan means that those who want both DVDs by mail and streaming online video pay at least $16 per month. Now, Netflix has been bundling both options in a single package for as low as $10 per month. 

Jason Alexander has a hilarious take on the devastation many are expressing on Twitter and Facebook over the impending rate hikes. His Funny or Die video says it all: $6, people. This doesn't make Netflix the Internet equivalent of Pol Pot. A little perspective please. See the video below for a good laugh:

Oh, good gawd. She's at it again. 

First there was the 'boo-hoo, I had a litter of 14 kids irresponsibly so help me Suze Orman before I lose my house" Oprah episode

Then there came the good ol' 'boo-hoo I spent it all on plastic surgery (even though I deny, deny, deny it) and kids I couldn't afford' Nadya Suleman who insists she would never do a reality show with her kids.

You know! A girl's got to have high standards ...

Now? Now, it turns out the girl is hustling for work.

Hustling being the operative word. It's been reported that she will star in a soft porn/fetish film where she whips and nurses a full grown (and rather hairy) adult man in a diaper in her house.

Yes, infantilism! Yes, the house where her 14 children live. 

Yes, a girl has got to have standards.

Let's just hope she got a sitter ...

God, finally! Everybody’s been yapping about this book, which I can’t get out of the library because so many other people have requested it. If you’re in the same boat, here’s the movie, about a 40-year-old murder investigated by a troubled journalist and a sexy, gothy, computer geek-girl. Folks who loved the book say the movie does a good job, and everyone says it’s a terrific, taut thriller -- but they warn of some violence. Great for home date-night!

Hot Tub Time Machine ($16.99 at Amazon)
Looking for your R-rated comedy fix? Here ya go. It’s the heart-searching tale of three middle-aged guys who get transported back to 1986, when their lives seemed full of potential (and boobs).  Starring John Cusack, Craig Robinson (from The Office), and Rob Corddry (from The Daily Show), it’s ridiculous, funny, naughty, and surprisingly sweet -- great for date-night-in with your hubby. Especially if you’ve got a secret stash of big-hair, leg-warmer, off-the-shoulder-sweatshirt photos of yourself (and I know you do).
