As a comedian, I'm sensitive. It's part of my genetic makeup and it's what makes me good at my "art." That is what comedians do -- we find humor in life experiences and pain. I've personally been using humor to cope with all the wonderful, amazing and agonizing moments of...

Not two days ago, my husband and I were talking about our birth plan. I brought up the fact that I wanted to have a doula. He duly asked, "What's a doula?" I explained that she was a cross between a midwife, a coach, a mentor and a super hero...

Now before anyone gets all huffy, I am not at all making a dig at her weight gain. I personally think those people who mocked or made fun of Jessica in the media are jackasses and glorified bullies. Not that I'm the biggest Jessica Simpson fan in the world, but...
