Can you guess which is Dr. Christiane Northrup—Oprah regular and author of The Wisdom of Menopause—and which is actress Ellen Barkin?
Hint: one of them said, “You’re in labor with yourself,” and the other said, “My husband thinks he’s compromising if we have one cook instead of three.”
blackbird says
October 19, 2007 at 9:02 amIt hardly matters.
I wouldn’t take advice from either of them.
The Domestic Goddess says
October 19, 2007 at 9:11 amOh wait! I thought one of them was Jenny Mc Carthy (in twenty years when her face goes south with the boob job and all the plastic melts).
Dr. Monkey says
October 19, 2007 at 9:14 amBoth frigehten me now.
OMSH says
October 19, 2007 at 9:29 amThat truly is uncanny. And wow, what a sacrifice – one chef instead of three. And here I was guilty I paid someone to come and clean the top layer of dust on my house.
Momo Fali says
October 19, 2007 at 9:29 amHave you seen Madonna with this haircut? She looks like a drag-queen. Not that there’s anything wrong with that…
All Adither says
October 19, 2007 at 9:45 amMy husband thinks we’re compromising if we have one dinner instead of three.
I kid.
Paula says
October 19, 2007 at 9:57 amDamn if celebrities don’t start melding into one another. Just this morning I was at menwholooklikeoldlesbians.blogspot.com, and I swore Wes Anderson could double as Kenneth the Page from 30 Rock. And if you stuck a wig on Michael Moore, he just might pass as Betty Friedan.
You can call me, 'Sir' says
October 19, 2007 at 10:18 amEllen Barkin was totally hot in ‘The Big Easy’.
Moi says
October 19, 2007 at 10:46 amEllen Barkin is #2!
And someone should stage an intervention with her about those lips. Did they get there 10 minutes before she did?
Some plastic surgery = fine
The point where you look like your wax model at Madame Tussaud’s = bad
chocolatechic says
October 19, 2007 at 10:54 amI cheated. I google searched.
1 cook instead of 3, huh????
One should be so lucky!
Howard says
October 19, 2007 at 11:24 amThe one that life has made bitter is Ellen Barkin.
Manic Mommy says
October 19, 2007 at 11:40 amEllen should inject some of that extra collagen in her lips into her neck.
Have they perfected the neck lift yet? If so, I’d like to get on the waiting list for about 8 years from now – maybe sooner.
Neil says
October 19, 2007 at 11:43 amHow much wisdom can menopause have?
beverly says
October 19, 2007 at 12:10 pmEllen Barkin is #2.

Honor says
October 19, 2007 at 12:22 pmYikes, Ellen looks more than a bit like Alan Rickman. Imagine her with a black, greasy bob…
Laurie Foolery says
October 19, 2007 at 12:59 pmDo Hollywood types NEED cooks? That would imply that they actually EAT.
Karen says
October 19, 2007 at 1:06 pmDr.Northrup is the happy one!
Laura says
October 19, 2007 at 2:09 pmDid anyone hear about what David Letterman said recently about Ellen Barkin?? LOL! When Leona Helmsley died she left everything to her beloved pooch Trouble. Well, Letterman said now “Trouble’s engaged to be married to Ellen Barkin!” I was dying, heaped over from LOL so much!
kerrianne says
October 19, 2007 at 2:20 pmMy husband is lucky if I cook anything beyond macaroni and cheese. I’m the best trophy wife ever.
PunditMom says
October 19, 2007 at 2:55 pmOh, that was too easy, Bossy. But their uber-blondeness scares me.
Biddy says
October 19, 2007 at 2:57 pm3 cooks?! really?! sheesh!
oh, and biddysworld is allll about the boss lady today!
Mom101 says
October 19, 2007 at 3:43 pmAnd which one has carpeting to match the drapes?
Desiree says
October 19, 2007 at 4:01 pmin my opinion-both are worthless.
i’m sitting here, eating CHEERIOS for breakfast, lunch AND dinner and that biotch has to ‘sacrifice’ two cooks? Puhlease.
Deb says
October 19, 2007 at 5:38 pmIf I’m in labor with myself, Dr. Crissy Barkin’s going to get her ass sued for not giving me my epidural in time.
Cece says
October 19, 2007 at 5:55 pmWow. Ellen needs to start wearing turtle necks.
slouching mom says
October 19, 2007 at 6:09 pmEllen had best lighten up on the eye makeup, because she’s in danger of morphing into Tammy Faye.
soNOTcool says
October 19, 2007 at 6:10 pmHa. I know the answer to this one because I planted my ass on the sofa (Tuesday?) and watched Oprah.
flutter says
October 19, 2007 at 6:41 pmI can tell you which one needs to lay off the tanning booth….
Gloria says
October 19, 2007 at 8:43 pmJust one cook? Oh my, what a tragedy! Cos we normal people have like, dozens of them at the very least? I pity rich stars, really!
Alli ~Mrs. Fussypants says
October 19, 2007 at 9:32 pmI watched Oprah yesterday. She kinda scared me.
mary says
October 19, 2007 at 9:35 pmMy goodness me! Just one cook?
I think Ah’m gettin’ the vapors….
Geez louise, what do you do with 3 cooks? One for breakfast, one for lunch, one for dinner? Wouldn’t you need a snack one, too????
Ms. Karen says
October 20, 2007 at 12:37 amWow, and they say Hollywood is out of touch with reality. Can you believe that? Ooh, wait until the staff gets a load of this! Barbie! Ken! Dora! We may have to let two of you go…
Melissa in NZ says
October 20, 2007 at 4:42 amThe thought of being in labour with myself is t.e.r.r.i.f.y.i.n.g.
Also, how does one come out of oneself?
It’s all nonsense, I tell you!
Get-Off says
October 20, 2007 at 9:15 amDear Ellen,
Clutch Cargo called, he’d like his lips back.
Amanda says
October 20, 2007 at 5:30 pmOh Ellen, so much like a handbag. Shades of Ivana, too.
Briget says
October 20, 2007 at 6:31 pmI know, I know!!
But only because menopause had me so freaked that I bought The Book – “Menopause – Trip or Journey?” (or something like that). And there was a picture on the back.
So I know. But I’m not telling. Because I can’t find my battery-operated tiny fan and everyone Has To Pay.
kim says
October 20, 2007 at 11:02 pm1 is that crazy doctor…Oprah needs better judgment sometimes!
mothergoosemouse says
October 20, 2007 at 11:37 pmBlond #1 scares me slightly less than Blond #2, but I bet Richard Fish would dig Blond #2’s wattle.
surcie says
October 20, 2007 at 11:58 pmThe doctor has had quite a makeover! I must say, I kinda like her. But did you get a load of O’s set that day? Creamy, flowy, beigey, and pillowy. I got hot flashes just looking at it.
surcie says
October 20, 2007 at 11:59 pmPS: I had an a-ha moment after I posted. Did you watch when the set matched Jessica Seinfeld’s pink plaid cookbook? Well, for the doctor, the set was blonde to match the hair!
Mrs. Chicken says
October 21, 2007 at 9:21 amWe can do her one better – we have a cook, maid and sex slave wrapped into one. Her name is “mommy.”
jen says
October 21, 2007 at 11:52 ami prefer four cooks, myself. and a surrogate.
Leaf, probably... says
October 21, 2007 at 7:19 pm‘Parlor’ games are my favorite type of game after ‘drinking’ and ‘boudoir’ games.
David says
October 21, 2007 at 11:17 pmDoesn’t “actress” imply she’s still performing in something? That is being watched by anyone?
FENICLE says
October 21, 2007 at 11:53 pmHow eerie that they look so alike!!!
I always thought you have a twin somewhere in the world.
Jen M says
October 22, 2007 at 1:57 amI saw the Oprah last week with the good doctor. So she’s had some work done – I thought some of what she said was really interesting. AND I recently read that Ellen denies having had any plastic surgery. Snort!
Phoenix says
October 23, 2007 at 12:01 amSOme times I wonder what makes these woman want to look like plastic pod people?
I’ve met Dr. Northrup. She’s an ass. A plastic ass, but an ass.
kristina says
October 23, 2007 at 6:48 pmI, too, have made the acquaintance of the good doctor. In fact, she was the first person to cradle my spongy little head.
My mother says she was the very best OBGYN anyone could ask for, and she wished with all her heart for Dr. Northrup during her second labor.
Unemployed Susan says
February 5, 2009 at 8:34 pmOh my, what a lot of snarky comments!
