Carnie's a laid-back mom
Office break rooms everywhere are buzzing about last night’s premiere of Celebrity Wife Swap, where singer Carnie Wilson and former child star Tracey Gold switched places to see what life is like inside another family’s household.
And boy, they couldn’t have been any more different. Tracey, who made her name as daughter Carol Seaver in Growing Pains, raises her four boys in a hyper-organized, planned-to-the-minute home; Carnie, formerly of Wilson Phillips, has a cluttered but more relaxed lifestyle.
But despite the two moms’ polar-opposite natures, each taught the other some valuable lessons. Carnie helped Tracey’s sons have more fun – bouncing on their beds, spraying hair color on each other. Tracey’s loving marriage was an inspiration to Carnie, who practically has to beg her husband to hug her every once in a while.
So which of the mom styles do you think is better for kids? And which style do you most resemble?
When you’ve battled with obesity all your life, I guess it’s natural to worry that your children might do the same. But how far do you need to go to keep your children healthy?
Carnie Wilson keeps a close eye on her daughter Lola’s diet – even though her little one is only 6. “I see Lola loving sugar like all the other children, but I also see her pay a little more attention like when there’s a birthday party, I see her being the first one in line to get the cake,” she tells Fox News. “I see me in her.”
The singer, who made a comeback last year with her role in Bridesmaids, uses tradeoffs to help keep Lola’s weight under control. “I tell her you can have ice cream or cake once in a while,” she explains. “You can have dessert, but you’ve got to give up a carb at a meal, or you can’t snack on gummies, you’ve got to have some fruit.”
Carnie, who had gastric bypass surgery to drop 150 pounds, admits that she’s gained weight and wants to get back into an exercise program. Her addictive personality includes being hooked on food – and the stress of motherhood doesn’t help.
Wilson Phillips on GMA: See them sing and see what they've been up to!
It’s been 20 years since Wilson Phillips burst onto the music scene, the oddly named offspring of Brian Wilson (Beach Boys) and John and Michelle Phillips (Mamas and the Papas) blended into one heck of a girl band. As they showed on this morning’s “Good Morning America,” when they sang “Winter Wonderland,” they still have the pipes – but their personal lives have always gotten just as much attention. Here’s video of the “GMA” performance and an update on each singer, all of whom are moms:
Carnie Wilson recently dished out details about family life in an exclusive interview with Celebrity Baby Scoop. With two daughters, Lola, 4, and Luci, 8 months, she has a lot to smile about.
When asked how older sister Lola is dealing with the baby, there seems to be no sibling jealousy.
Carnie Wilson, who underwent gastric bypass surgery in 1999 and then posed for Playboy in 2003 to show off her new body, tells People magazine she again needs help to lose weight. This after she received a wake-up call on the Dr. Oz Show upon weighing in at 218 pounds on her 5’3″ frame. The singer and reality show star (Carnie Wilson: Unstapled) says having kids “derailed” sustaining the weight she had lost, and that she hasn’t lost the weight she gained with daughter Luciana, born in June. So how much did she gain in each of her two pregnancies? Continue reading »
Is Carnie Wilson’s weight putting her health at risk? After years of dieting, gastric bypass surgery, and then two pregnancies, Carnie Wilson’s struggles with obesity have come to a head yet again, but this time they may have met their match.
The Unstapled star (that’s the title of her reality show, FYI — it doesn’t mean her gastric bypass surgery was reversed) is getting a consultation from tough-talking TV doc Mehmet Oz… and he’s reportedly set out to make the show an intervention of sorts. Continue reading »
Three months after giving birth to her second daughter Lucy, Carnie Wilson is apparently still carrying around 60 pounds that she gained during pregnancy. On her new reality show Carnie Wilson: Unstapled, the singer and game show host is going to try to drop it (without another round of gastric bypass surgery). Continue reading »
