I freely admit it: I am one of those people who usually feels a teeny bit smug - I told you so! - when news of failing celebrity marriages hits the gossip wires. I mean, how many successful marriages are there in Hollywood, anyway? And aren't they all having affairs? Cue wagging finger.

Actually, I cannot lie. It's not how my kid could make me pay, it's how I potentially might make myself pay because of my kid. Wait. That doesn't sound much better. How about: 'my potty mouth might make me cry from shame'?

It seems fitting that at the end of this year - nay, decade - one of the most infamous couples in celebudisaster parenting history are finalizing their divorce.
Jon & Kate is now officially Jon without Kate. Or Kate without Jon. Or Kate hates Jon and it's court documented and official. Wow, there are so many variations on this theme.

The video-stream that I've linked to below is, unlike the Neil Patrick Harris Frosty video that I posted last night, totally appropriate viewing for your children. I mean, you would be remiss if you didn't expose them to the Facts Of Life Very Special Christmas episode, or that one Ren & Stimpy where Stimpy gets frostbite, or the Diff'rent Strokes that had Mr. Drummond dressing up as Santa. Right? Right.
Behold, the BetaMax Xmas, or BETAMAXMAS! Like Festivus, but with Gary Coleman!

Need two minutes of "me time" sometime today?
This Yo Gabba Gabba snippet featuring Jack Black doing
a jig while dressed as DJ Lance will hypnotize the wee one(s) long
enough for you to go pee, finish a page in a real book (not written by Richard Scarry), or throw back a
glass (or two) of wine.
There will be no judging here about what you do with your time, just use it for yourself.
