MEOW -- the claws are OUT!
Jenny McCarthy is blasting actress Amanda Peet after she said in this month's Cookie magazine that parents who choose not to vaccinate their children are "parasites."
Even after Amanda apologized for her comments, Jenny is still vigorously defending the autism community. In Spectrum magazine's October/November issue, Jenny says Amanda "has a lot of balls to come forward and be on that side, because there is an angry mob on my side. I like the fact that I can say she's completely wrong. Until she walks in our shoes, she has no idea."
After her son was diagnosed with autism, Jenny gained worldwide media attention fighting against what she deems to be unsafe vaccines. She will appear on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Friday, October 3. Amanda Peet recently agreed to be a spokesperson for Every Child By Two (ECBT), an organization that raises awareness of the importance of getting children fully immunized by the time they are two years old.
As first reported by MomLogic, the national autism advocacy group Autism United is calling for a boycott of all of Amanda Peet's movies (
BG's note: Were these ever big money-makers to begin with?). "We want to send a clear message to her," says Executive Director John Gilmore. "Our community will not support the continued misinformation that is funneled into the media by organizations like ECBT and the American Academy of Pediatrics. We are not against vaccines, rather we are for safe vaccines. Until they understand that, we won't back down. Ms. Peet's comments are deplorable and an apology will not suffice. We applaud Jenny McCarthy's continued efforts and for speaking up for our community."

So Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey were walking down the beach in Malibu this weekend, with Jenny McCarthy looking quite nice in her swimsuit, showing a lot of side boob, but it looks like Jim Carrey was feeling a little left out, because after a quick change, he Jenny were back on the beach, but this time he was wearing her swimsuit! Okay, not the mental image I needed, but you've got to admit, he's pretty funny. And who knew he had such a nice ass!?

Amid all the Super Bowl madness that has taken over the greater Phoenix area this week, some of the stars got together over the weekend to bring attention to a wonderful cause.
Holly Robinson Peete and her husband Rodney Peete hosted the 2008 Gridiron Glamour event, a celebrity fashion show/benefit auction designed to raise money for autism research. Benefiting the Peete's HollyRod Foundation, along with the Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center (SAARC), stars including Laila Ali, Gabrielle Union, Nicole Murphy, Gena Lee Nolin and Regina King were all ready to put their best foot forward on the runway to help the cause.
"The only way we're able to do these things is with the support of our friends. It's a real blessing for us," Holly told
Access Hollywood, explaining how grateful she was of the celebrity support she and Rodney have received in their efforts. And in turn, their friends are equally happy to lend a hand. "I couldn't be happier to give my time," Gena Lee Nolin said.
Not to be outdone by the ladies, the men were also ready to hit the runway, with Rodney (a former NFL star) calling on several of his athlete counterparts, including pro football stars Kurt Warner, Braylon Edwards and baseball players Brandon Webb and Luis Gonzalez.
In addition to the runway show, the event also honored the achievements of several individuals for their efforts to raise autism awareness, with Jenny McCarthy the recipient of the 2008 Trailblazer Award.
Holly talked about what it meant to recognize her good friend Jenny, who like Holly and Rodney, also has an autistic child. "Someone called us the
Thelma & Louise of autism," Holly joked of her work with Jenny. "From the moment she called me and we talked about her son, we made a game plan and said no one else is talking about this. We know there are celebrities in Hollywood who have autistic children, so we felt it was important to talk about it."
"We wanted to honor Jenny today because we think she is a pioneer. She's brought more attention with her book and her candor. She says it like it is and that's what is so special about her. We are honored to honor her," Holly added.
When it came to walking the runway, the stars were eager and ready to strut their stuff. "I don't know if I'll be any good at it, but I'll rock what I've got," NASCAR driver Danica Patrick smiled. "I'm just hoping not to fall," Gabrielle Union joked.
And despite the light nature of the event, all the stars were well aware of the serious nature of the cause. "I love children. I'm a mom and I have friends who have autistic children. I've seen just how much research has helped over the years and how a child's upbringing can be made so much better over the last 20-plus years, so just imagine what more research and more support can do," Regina King told
Access Hollywood. For Regina, whose mother has worked with mentally and physically handicapped children for over 15 years, it was a pleasure to help her dear friends. "Holly and Rodney are so respected. We all want to support them in everything they do. You can see the results, and that's what's important. You feel like you're a part of something and you can see it working," she concluded.
DISCUSS!
