Taking chances on 'Parenthood'Members of the Braverman clan took some personal chances on last night’s episode, and while some worked, others definitely didn’t. Max wasn’t invited to a friend’s birthday party, and while he didn’t really notice, Kristina seemed hurt. She confronted the mom, Andi, about it at school, and it turned out the girl didn’t want to invite Max and another kid. Andi said she thought for one day her daughter should have what she wanted, and that Kristina should understand since she’s also the mother of a child with Asperger’s.

Ke$ha reveals the deal with the dollar sign on Funny or DieSuddenly that dollar sign in Ke$ha's name makes sense. In a hilarious new video for Funny or Die, the pop star reveals that a typo was behind her moneyed moniker. "I used to be Kesha with an S, instead of a dollar sign, and then one year I had my birthday party at Shakey's Pizza," the misty-eyed "Tik Tok" singer explains in the tongue-in-cheek video. "On the sign - the big sign where they write 'Happy Birthday' - they replaced the S with a dollar sign." A Shakey's employee then confirms the traumatic incident. "Yeah, I remember that day," he recalls. "We had a special going on sausage, salami, and sun-dried tomatoes pizza so we were just all out of S's." |
