Gas Is $4 A Gallon!

March 9, 2011
With Nibs in bed from a flu, Teddy had to run all the errands today (!) and that meant filling the Benz up with gasoline. So she stopped at the Arco on Wilshire and Robertson Blvd.

It's been years since Teddy filled-'er-up herself and she couldn't believe how gas prices have skyrocketed thanks to the turmoil in the Middle East. Her gas was almost $4 a gallon and she didn't even get the "premium"!

Teddy tried her best to not get her paws dirty, but that sure isn't easy when you're in a gas station!

This is tough work for a fragile little bear. The nozzle weighs a ton! She could barely lift it.

And the worst part is many of these gas stations don't have proper mini marts in them. Teddy can't even buy herself a pack of M&M's to reward herself for all that hard work! Grrrr.... How is your day going?

Ashley Hebert Is The Next Bachelorette

March 8, 2011
Last night's The Bachelor: The Women Tell All was full of barbs and tears as the girls faced Brad Womack for the last time.

Brad told host Chris Harrison that he's "in love" (reportedly with Southern cupcake Emily Maynard) and happier than ever (even Nibs tuned in for a while!).

Michelle Money, the crazy single mother who said she wanted Chantal O'Brien to be attacked by monkeys, took a verbal beating from the other contestants, being called a "spider" and "creepy." Many tears rolled.

The most interesting thing about the night was how much screen time Philadelphia dental student Ashley Hebert, 26, received. With a new brunette hair color and Christina Aguilera-hue lip stick to boot, she was the charmer of the night. Teddy heard from her "source" Fopsie that Ashley is the next Bachelorette and it'll be announced at the After the Final Rose ceremony next week!

And, yes, there's more! It was also hinted that loopy Vienna Girardi from Jake Pavelka's Bachelor may star on this summer's Bachelor Pad. Run for the hills! Teddy can't handle more Vienna meltdowns and manipulations.... can you?

What did you think of the Women Tell All? Were the other gals too mean to Michelle? Was Michelle crying crocodile tears? Will Ashley make a good Bachelorette? Do you want more Vienna?

Kate Middleton's Wedding Dress

March 7, 2011
Because Fopsie is getting married one week after Kate Middleton ties the knot with Prince William at Westminster Abbey, she doesn't want her dress looking anything like that of the future princess. So she asked her Maid Of Honor Teddy to think up something not-Kate. Yesterday, Teddy had Fopsie over for coffee and Lindt chocolates to discuss.

That savvy Teddy went to a fabric store and got swatches of gorgeous lace that she thought would be perfect for Fopsie's gown.

Look how lovely the lace is. Teddy heard that Kate's dress will be made of satin and that Sarah Burton, the creative director at Alexander McQueen, is doing the designing. Fops prefers a lace look, like the dress Grace Kelly wore when she wed the Prince of Monaco.

Prettttttty lace. Look at how it shimmers! (Teddy really gets into this stuff.) It was only a few moments till Nibs was popping his head in to check on the ladies.

Luckily, a few pieces of chocolate were enough to get Nibs to walk away. Teddy doesn't like men around when she's girl talking!

Wedding Flowers

March 4, 2011
Teddy doesn't know a thing about flowers and she needs to select bouquets for Fopsie's May 7 wedding to Herbert. You see, Fopsie is a high-powered TV producer (that's how Teddy gets all her Hollywood scoop) so she doesn't have time to wedding plan. That leaves Teddy, the maid of honor, in charge.

Brides magazine says to go with lilies or roses. But Teddy wants to look at all the flowers out there! Maybe even yellow? Or green? Or purple? Nibs told her to keep it simple but Teddy never listens to Nibs anyhow.

What are these flowers called? Teddy doesn't even know. Maybe she should go to the book store, or better yet, ask the advice of a florist.

When Teddy planned her wedding to Nibs in Santa Barbara in the year 2000, it was a disaster! Well, kind of. Let's hope Teddy's wedding planning skills have improved.

Emily Maynard a Gold Digger!

March 3, 2011
Teddy has got to stop buying these tabloids! Yesterday she picked up the new InTouch Weekly because the cover story was about how The Bachelor winner Emily Maynard, 24, is out for fame and fortune, and not Brad's heart! The cover line? "Tricked By Emily's Lies." Ouch.

The article exposes Emily's past, like how she was never really engaged to race car driver Ricky, and worst of all, that she's dated celebrities like Dale Earnhardt Jr. and some country music star in Tennessee!

The "source," who is Ricky's ex-fiancee, went on to say North Carolina native Emily loved being in the spotlight and was kind of a Nascar groupie of sorts who was always at the track. Can this be the same fragile Emily we see each week on The Bachelor?

Teddy also learned that Emily hosted a racing show on TV in 2007 called "Three Wide Life." So it's not like she's a shy one. Check out her photo below from her hosting gig. She looks very different. These days she's far slimmer and blonder.

Teddy just can't believe all these negative things the ex-fiancee is saying about Emily. It can't be true. But Teddy will say that Emily is not her favorite. Teddy prefers Chantal O'Brien, the #2 who looks a lot like Marion Cotillard. Can't say why, just does.

Fopsie's Wedding Will Be Better Than Kate Middleton's!

March 2, 2011
Teddy was thrilled with Fopsie's good news that she's set May 7 as her wedding date. Because the wedding is only ONE week after Kate Middleton's, Teddy decided to steal some ideas from that future princess so she perused last week's People magazine that promised to reveal "Kate's Wedding Secrets."

Hmmm, Fopsie and Herbert certainly don't look much like Kate and Prince William (son of the late Princess Diana). But that doesn't really matter, does it?

The invites: Teddy thinks Kate and William's are too plain. She suspects a royal higher up insisted on no frills. Fopsie's invites will have more razzle dazzle to them and maybe even a touch of glitter! :)

Teddy won't be able to compete with the royal transportation. Kate will take a Rolls-Royce to the church and a horse-drawn carriage from the church. Teddy is fairly certain a horse-drawn carriage is not in Fopsie's budget.

Big celebrities like Elton John and Posh Spice are going to the royal wedding. How can Teddy get some celebrities to Fopsie's wedding? She'll have to work on that!

...Back To Fopsie and Herbert

February 28, 2011
Every week since their engagement, Herbert has been sending Fopsie a dozen roses. This week it was a pink variation. What a thoughtful bear!

Fopsie can't settle on a wedding date. She knows April 29 is a bad day because that's when Prince William ties the knot with Kate Middleton in London. "Maybe I'll get married the week after that," Fopsie thought to herself.

May 7 it is! She just has to pass the date by Herbert and her Maid Of Honor Teddy, of course, who insists on doing most of the wedding planning herself. Fopsie sure hopes Teddy hasn't bitten off more than she can chew, so to speak!
