Bad Moms? Susan Sarandon & Cheryl Hines Use Hollywood to Be Better Moms.
Who’s ready to re-live Christmas? Me. No, I’m not in the mood to decorate a tree again, or to bake a bunch of cookies, or to worry if that thing I ordered for my 7 year old would be delivered in time for the big holiday. I just want to watch the damn movie again….
CBS Los Angeles: Kids, don’t do pot. Parents, pay attention.
