June kicks off a gorgeous time of year. As the temperature rises, the bikinis come out, and many of us long for some carefree fun in the sun. But thousands of women aren't dreaming of a mojito-fuled beach party. Their minds are set on something a bit more life altering....

Dinners at my house look more like a neighborhood block party than the average family get-together. My big, fabulous family comes complete with two former wives and eight children, five of whom belong to my husband, one to me, and two to both of us.

As a...

A drug crisis is sweeping America and it's killing our children.

Parents be warned. We have now entered the culture of ''Pharma-geddon.'' Kids are sneaking pills, drinking alcohol, and using illegal street drugs at an alarming rate. Even heroin, once considered the last outpost on the...

Buckle up and get ready! Here we go again with another round of celebrity scandals. It seems like week after week, another high-profile couple splits, and another celebrity gets outed for cheating. Gavin Rossdale and David Arquette are in the hot seat, so Ashton Kutcher, Mel Gibson, and John Travolta...

My previous Cleo vs. Cougar blog touched off a firestorm of debate. Who knew? Magazines picked it up and bloggers ran with it. I heard from self-professed cougars who love the moniker and embrace the lifestyle (and all the testosterone-fueled, hard bodies that go with it). I heard from just...

I woke up this morning to my usual routine. I made the children breakfast, picked up the carpool, dropped the little darlings off at school, and headed back again to start my day's work. After signing Oprah's "No Phone Zone" pledge, I chucked my purse and my cell in the...

I am thrilled to be in New York this week for the "Women Entrepreneurs Rock the World" conference (along with a Yankees game!). One of the guest speakers is my dear friend Taryn Rose. Talk about an inspiration. Taryn is a former orthopedic surgeon, and if that's not impressive enough,...

Many years ago, when smoking was more socially acceptable, a cigarette ad told women, "You've come a long way, baby." I always thought that if that's the case, why are they still calling women baby? But it turns out these pseudo-feminist ads of the 1970s were prophetic. We have come...

This has been one of those hectic weeks where I've found myself busier than usual coaching women on how to survive their marriages with stepchildren, or more specifically, how to survive their stepchildren and stay married. Why am I the go-to person for such things? Well to start, after being...

Score one for the bad girls this week. Tiger Woods' mistress number one - Rachel Uchitel - has scored a new prime time television gig as a correspondent for the syndicated entertainment show Extra. A very enthusiastic Extra host Mario Lopez said Rachel "so impressed producers."

Wow. She "so impressed...

He's a cheater, he's a liar, and guess what folks? John Edwards is now the star of his very own sex tape! Unbelievable. He was running for president, while his wife battled incurable cancer -- and he taped his sexcapades! To think this man could have been our President. Talk...

I'm starting to think I'm an anomaly. And I'll admit it. I run seriously out of step with our fame-obsessed, tabloid-saturated, "hook up" culture. I just don't get the nation's acceptance of casual sex and the rejection of the American family. I just read a new study which shows that...

Wherever in the world Tiger Woods is, the one thing we know for certain is that he is in the doghouse - which is exactly where he should be. What I am finding shocking is the ever-increasing parade of smiling women waving their "I slept with Tiger" emails in search...
