Coretta Scott King, who turned a life shattered by her husband, Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination into one devoted to enshrining his legacy of human rights and equality, has died at the age of 78.

So, I had hoped after Val having such a good week at school last week keeping her new Dora the Explorer panties dry,that we could repeat that success this week. If you scroll back to Saturday’s post, you can read about her peeing in the middle of Big Lots.

This evening when we get home from school, she asked to put a pull-up on. I truly believe she just doesn’t want to exert the necessary energy it takes to walk her almost 3 ft self to the potty. In other words, my adorable toddler is lazy. So, to make a long wet story short, she has peed into 3 pairs of panteies this evening since we got home. I am so frustrated. My husband called us from work while I was fussing about her third wet pair of panties and he told me to hang in there.

So, she has now had her bath and is watching her new boyfriend, Diego, on his Nick show and she could care less about Dora. Momma’s about to go get a slice of chocolate cream pie and then we’re going to bed.

This momma stuff is exhausting

Singer/actress Jessica Simpson is facing a federal lawsuit, after a Los Angeles woman filed papers accusing the star of copying her trademarked cosmetics range.

ANGELINA Jolie and Brad Pitt don’t always fly their private planes when they need to get somewhere - but they still like their space. The couple and their adopted urchins, Maddox and Zahara, flew from London to Los Angeles last Monday on a Virgin flight, and a spy reports: “They bought eight seats for the four of them in first class to block themselves out. They didn’t want to be bothered by anyone else - but they also didn’t have nannies or staff with them. Pretty impressive.”

Reps of the controversial Scientology religion are “reaching out” to Kate Moss, offering to help her beat her drug problem reports MSNBC. Moss was recently dropped from a lucrative modeling contract when she was photographed snorting lines of coke. British tabloid, Daily Mirror published pictures of the supermodel snorting cocaine with her boyfriend, rocker Pete Doherty, at a recording studio. “Scientology has become quite proactive in reaching out to people,” says a source. “Kate is a woman who needs help and Scientology feels that they can steer her in the right direction.”

Kate Moss has agreed to return to London this week and meet British police officers investigating video footage and photographs that show her snorting cocaine. The 32-year-old, who has completed a spell in rehab and dumped drug addict ex-lover Pete Doherty, has struck a deal that will see her fly into London on a private jet later this week and be interviewed at a police station under caution. Officers have warned Moss that she must make a “full and frank” confession and supply details of her dealer, or she could face a 10-year prison sentence on supply and possession charges, after she was seen dishing the drug out to Mick Jones, formerly of the Clash.
Pop star Britney Spears is seeking spiritual guidance in a bid to become a better mother to her 4-month-old son. The singer recently caused a stir when she visited a Hindu temple in Malibu, Calif., and now the guru she visited is speaking out about Spears’ visit. The Hindu holy man admits he didn’t recognize the pop singer when she first arrived at his temple with her baby, Sean Preston. He tells the Web site TMZ.com Spears was there seeking “spiritual guidance,” adding, “She and her baby joined us in prayer inside our Ganesh Temple. I wrapped some Hindu cloth around them both and gave them some flowers to wear as part of the ceremony.” Samundrala reveals Spears then took part in the Chendur Kumkuman practice of placing a red dot of dye on her forehead and asked the minister to bless her and her baby. Samundrala hopes Spears returns to the temple: “The whole time she was very humble and respectful.”
