It’s On! Jenny McCarthy vs. Amanda Peet on the Topic of Childhood Vaccines
In the August issue of Cookie magazine, actress Amanda Peet blasted parents who don't vaccinate their children and went so far as to call them "parasites." Now, Jenny McCarthy, an outspoken supporter of "Green Our Vaccines" who challenges the effect of immunizations in autistic children, is fighting back in the newest issue of Spectrum Magazine.
"(Peet) has a lot of balls to come forward and be on that side, because there is an angry mob on my side, and I like the fact that I can say she's completely wrong,'' McCarthy says in the issue hitting newsstands on Wednesday.
McCarthy, whose 6-year old son Evan is autistic, adds “I look at (Peet) now and say to myself, 'That was me before I had autism in my life,’ and until she walks in our shoes, she really has no idea."

E! News reports that Sharon Stone has lost a custody battle over her 8-year old son, Roan.
A judge ruled that Stone's ex-husband Phil Bronstein "shall have permanent sole physical custody" because the newspaper publisher can "provide a more structured continuity, stable, secure and consistent home."
Stone and Bronstein adopted Roan in 2000 before divorcing in 2004. The star has two other younger sons whom she adopted after her marriage.

Lipstick Jungle star Kim Raver’s Advice to Other New Moms
Lipstick Jungle's Kim Raver graces the cover of Cookie's October issue with her two sons and inside, she dishes about juggling her thriving career and family, heading back to work just weeks after giving birth, and more. Here's a sneak peek at the interview:
- On returning to work to the set of Lipstick Jungle after having her second son Leo just weeks after giving birth… “It was important to me to experience both nursing Leo and recovering from having him. I’d be in a fitting trying to squeeze into clothes, and I’d think, I’m not doing this. There’s going to be more milk, and healthier milk, if I’m eating well, and I’m already stressed out because of my work level.”
- On her body image after having a baby: “I remember crying at one photo shoot because I couldn’t get into the dresses I’d normally fit into. Brooke [Shields, her costar] was so lovely. She reminded me that [this period is just] a short window.”
- Raver’s message to other new moms: “Remember to love the body you’re in after having a baby. You’re not sleeping. You’re juggling one, two, or three kids. If it’s emotionally satisfying at three or four in the morning, when the baby won’t go back to sleep, have a piece of chocolate! While you nurture your baby, it’s important to nurture yourself.”
The issue hits newstands on September 23rd. Read more at CookieMag.com.
