Last week Chris Pratt posted a ?tribute? to his wife, you can see it here. There isn?t anything inherently wrong with saying you think your spouse is nifty online, but Pratt?s post went sideways quickly. He made a poor word choice when describing his daughter that appeared insensitive to the health struggles his son survived following his premature birth. In addition to that, Pratt spoke of his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, in a way that was supposed to sound endearing, but in reality, was a little creepy. Creepy enough that Pratt?s former friend Busy Philips called him out on it on her podcast, Busy Philipps Is Doing Her Best. Busy got straight to the point calling Pratt?s messaging, ?f***ng weird.?
Busy Philipps just called out Chris Pratt for his Instagram post about Katherine Schwarzenegger.
On the Tuesday episode of her podcast, Busy Philipps Is Doing Her Best, which she co-hosts Caissie St. Onge, Philipps criticized Pratt for what she believed was disingenuous language that objectified his wife.
Philipps, who said she was friends with Pratt years ago and even vacationed with Pratt and Faris when the actress was pregnant with Jack, called the post f***ing weird.
Talking to her podcast listeners, Philipps said, Youre probably not the type of lady that will laugh enthusiastically if youre with a man and he starts to make very tired gender jokes about responsibilities and duties and even like, the f***ing tired bit that hes doing which is, She runs the show I occasionally open a bag of pickles, she explained. Thats how f***ing dumb what he said is. You are a Marvel superhero. You made $480 million last year. You work non-stop. You dont just open a f***ing jar of pickles.
Philipps went on to say that the post didnt sit right with her because it seemed like he was acknowledging the power that he held in their relationship by patronizing his wife.
What she does in their household is probably a lot. She probably does a lot of the domestic labor. They have a kid and whatever. That is actually legitimately a lot of f***ing work. But by the way hes talking about himself, putting himself in it, in the center of it, it makes it seem like its bulls***, she explained.
Referencing to a line in the post in which Pratt says Schwarzenegger is his greatest treasure right next to my Ken Griffey Jr Upper Deck Rookie card, the Girls5Eva star said, he has possessions, and shes one of them.
[From Yahoo]
Busy makes a lot of good points here. Of course, Katherine has Kennedy/Shriver/Schwarzenegger money so she?s not dependent on Pratt?s earnings, but the point is the same: he works hard and provides a secure income for them. So his claims about not contributing more than opening the occasional ?jar of pickles? does ring false. And everything about his post intones Katherine is a possession, even without his rookie card joke. He?s centered his message around what is provided for him: a good life, strong children even her pure heart belongs to him. The framing of the photo itself suggests the order in the household. Pratt?s facing full camera, smiling, engaged and she is turned away from the spotlight, towards him, looking up at his face with a plastered-on smile. Pratt is the center and she directs all her energy to him. I?m sure Katherine works around the home. I?m sure she?s hands on with their daughter. But I think we all know theirs is a fully staffed house. If you couple that along with all the times Pratt has used his wife as the butt of a joke for laughs, Busy?s right, ?it seem(s) like its bulls***.
As the excerpt mentioned, Busy said she used to be friends with Pratt and his ex-wife, Anna Faris. So she didn?t make these comments lightly. Busy remembers Pratt as being ?super nice and funny.? Busy said ?I knew him in the before times, I dont know him now.? Since she referred in the podcast to Pratt?s doomsday prepping and drinking, I think ?the before times? means his conversion to Christianity and not his meteoric rise career-wise. I honestly think his connection to Hillsong has affected him more than any ego issues with his success. I wouldnt be surprised if the idea that wives belonged to their husbands was broadcasted all over that place.

Despite Busy Philipps uptick in projects, she?s still doing a lot of sponcon on social media. She?s currently partnering with Yoplait in their OuiFresh Self Care Pack giveaway in honor of Self Care Day, July 24th. The packs include Oui Yogurts, a nail file, a key charm, a tote and Essie nail polishes. They also include self-care tips from Busy. So Yahoo interviewed Busy as part of The Unwind series to get some of her ?tips and tricks? for their readers.
On being vulnerable on social media: I think its great that more conversations are being had about mental health and well-being. I mean, Marlo Thomas told us in the 70s that its OK to cry. Its helpful to get out your emotions and its actually not helpful to hold things in. I think that the more people talk about and normalize mental health struggles or what theyre going through in a real way ? and not like a performative, superficial Im doing this because I feel like I should be doing this way ? I think the better off were all going to be.
On social media replacing real life: But one thing I would say about social media and where I think people sometimes have trouble navigating that is that you have to be self-aware of who youre speaking to in your social media. I think that sometimes people sort of use it in place of close friends or family or reaching out in those ways. I dont want that to be a thing that takes precedent over actually connecting with people who are in your life.
Her self-care go-to: I love exercise as a form of self-care for myself. Sweating every day has really made a difference in my mental health and well-being. And Ive noticed a difference: Ive been having a little bit of a trickier time recently and Im like, oh, its because I havent been working out every day. Theres something for me that happens ? you know, Im not a doctor or a scientist ? whether its my endorphins or just getting going, it just makes me feel better, so thats a huge part of my self-care. And sometimes it is the only thing I can do in a day. And sometimes it annoys my kids, Im not going to lie. Are my children someday going to be like, My mother was always working out? [laughs] But Im not always working out; its one workout and its 45 minutes, so they can calm down. I find that thats a thing that I need to do basically daily or very regularly in order to feel sort of in myself.
Her mantra: I do try to live by and remind myself very consistently that everything works out the way that its supposed to. And its hard ? that is so hard to remember sometimes. But if you really listen to yourself and your intuition, and youre able to drop into that, youre not going to make a bad decision.
[From Yahoo!]
It?s interesting to see crying framed as self-care but any release of emotion is, isn?t it? I always sleep better after I?ve spent a good amount of time laughing particularly hard. It?s cathartic and I think a good cry is the same release. I really like Busy?s advice about checking yourself on social media. I do know people who lean on social media as if it is their social network.
As for believing that everything works out the way it?s supposed to, I understand what Busy is trying to convey. But it is so incredibly hard to put faith in that while in the thick of life. And I can?t help but think that yes, the end result worked out, but the intended result would have also been good too. I am genuinely happy with where I am in life. But that?s not to say that there isnt a bunch of stuff I wish I?d done differently. I?m not trying to be cynical, I do think things work out. I just question if they always work out exactly as they were supposed to. Like, maybe alternate plane Hecate is also genuinely happy with her outcome.

Busy Philipps is a spokesperson for Olay. She appeared along with several notable women in Olay?s Super Bowl ad that was lighthearted but inspiring. Busy?s current campaign, along with talk show host Lilly Singh and model Denise Bidot, is for Olay Skin Promise, which is Olay?s commitment to ?zero skin retouching.? That means, any time you see a photo or commercial with the Olay Skin Promise mark, that image has not been filtered, airbrushed or altered in any way. The move is an attempt to promote body positivity by producing more realistic imagery. Busy spoke with Lara Spencer on Good Morning America about the campaign and why it was important to her, which is mainly so her girls can grow up seeing what women actually look like. You can watch Busy?s full segment here.
You?re a mom to two girls. So this is a great message for them
My older daughter loves it, and totally gets it. My little one has no idea, she doesn?t understand. But she will and it?s wonderful that she?s going to grow up in a world where people are taking these stands, brands like Olay and CVS is doing their Beauty Unaltered, so they?re also committing to not having airbrushed images. Like, what is that? We can?t all look like an airbrushed, face-tuned thing and I?m just really proud to work with Olay on its campaign with Lilly Singh and Denise.
I?m sure this was clear but just in case ? the promise is not to retouch images; this is not a part of the #makeupfree movement. However, Busy said in her GMA segment that she was only wearing Regenerist and no foundation on the show. When her first Olay ads came out, Busy couldn?t believe they were unaltered, she was so happy how she looked in them and I agree, she looks amazing. (I also covet the boots she wore to the GMA interview. Photo below)
Busy mentioned the CVS Beauty Unaltered campaign that is making the same promise. Aerie also has a similar campaign. I could not get more behind these efforts. I?d love my children to grow up looking at photos of what people really look like, but I won?t lie, I would benefit greatly from not comparing myself to a model?s altered image as well. Like Busy said, we can?t all look like those airbrushed people we admire in the magazines. Hell, the people in those ads can?t look like that either. So wouldn?t it be great to see obtainable beauty. And I know it?s easy to write these celebrities off because they tend to be beautiful in their own right. But they still have to have the guts to stand the criticism hurled at them for daring to show themselves as natural as possible, which is exactly what happened after Busy?s first Olay commercial. She said that some troll wrote it was ?ironic I have an Olay commercial cause my skin is terrible.? So I really do applaud these models willing to take the slings and arrows in order to push this movement forward. Hopefully that world that Busy spoke of that promotes natural images can become a reality.

When people tell me they hear my voice in my stories because they listen to our podcast it blows me away. I consider it a great compliment, and there are a handful of celebrities for whom I always do that. Oprah is definitely one. Can you NOT hear Oprah?s voice when you?re reading one of her interviews? Busy Philipps is another one. Busy is poised to be the Oprah for Millenials, I?m convinced. Her E! Show got canceled but that network in no way deserved her. I?m waiting for her next big move because she is amazing, she wears her heart on her sleeve and she is fearlessly herself.
Bustle Magazine has a bunch of interviews with women they?re calling Rule Breakers. They have Jameela Jamil on the cover, Quimby covered that, but they also profile Busy Philipps and Stacey Abrams, the rightful governor of Georgia. Stacey is on to better things too! Busy talked about being loud, being herself and standing up for what she believes in. Its kind of reassuring to hear that its not always easy for her, but that she just makes it look that way. Like when Busy testified in front of Congress by sharing the story of her abortion it was hard for her. She looked so cool and collected and she expertly handled the idiocy of the Republican questioning her, so I couldnt tell.
On opening up about her abortion
?Talking about my abortion on my show was a decision that I made because I?m aware of how people think of me. I?m just a normal woman ? I?m their best friend! ? and I wanted to say: Like one in four American women, I had an abortion. And I?m so over holding all of the shame.?
On being herself
?I?ve always been too much. I?ve always been too big, too much, too loud, too ? something.?
On testifying before Congress
?Testifying at Congress was bonkers? a week-long panic attack. I had to sit across from a congressman who has been elected to government, and he was talking about pre-conception souls, and I was like, ?Are we in the same country? We?re not having the same conversation, is the problem.??
On changing hearts and minds
?I think that one of the tenets of being an artist is imbuing your work with ideas. That is what cultures respond to and get shaped around, and I would just encourage the people working in the entertainment industry to put out more thoughtful sh*t You change people?s hearts and minds by telling them stories about another way to be, and we have stopped doing that to a large portion of our country.?
On why she speaks out about important issues
?All I want is for my daughters to not have any of the f*cking bullsh*t holding them down. If that means I have to be loud about it in all ways, all around, I?ve decided that I can handle that.?
[From Bustle, headers changed]
I wanted to talk changing hearts and minds, although that quote seems incomplete. In the full piece there isnt much more context. So many artists: writers, actors, directors, and producers, are working on stories that champion progressive and diverse ideas. Were seeing more of those thanks to streaming services, but there are still too many old, white male gatekeepers to getting those shows made and distributed. Plus theres a segment of the population which is absolutely beyond reach. There are people who are quite miserably content in their racist, sexist bubbles for whom there is no convincing of anything. As Busy mentioned, theyre not even having the same conversation and no amount of storytelling will fix that.

Some of you eyeroll when I talk about Busy Philipps but those of you who know me know I don?t stan many celebrities. Busy deserves her own talk show again plus a huge paycheck. She is exceptionally entertaining and fun to watch. I wish network television would stop promoting mediocre douchebros, but I digress. Busy was at a Shape Magazine event where she talked about her approach to fitness. She said a few things which I could definitely relate to, namely that she never considered herself an athlete until she found the workouts she loved.
On how she started loving workouts
In the early 2000s I was asked to lose weight for a part, I wrote about this in my book, which is not an uncommon thing that happens in Hollywood. They sent me to [trainer] Gunnar Peterson and he showed me a way into fitness by introducing me to spin classes, showing me the workouts and all that stuff. I was conditioned to think that because I didnt play sports in high school, because I didnt like PE that I wasnt an athletic person. I think people do that. Finding it organically has been incredible for me, but I was told I had to. For people who arent told they have to, I would say [they should] be open to the possibility.
Modeling fitness to her kids
I didnt have a family growing up where activity and exercise was a thing. My girls have a different experience because their dad goes to spin class every day, I do my workout every morning. I feel like modeling behavior for younger generations is so important. Thats part of the reason I post my workouts on the stories. Its not because Im like look at how hot my body is. This is a thing I committed to every day. Everyone can show up every day if thats what they choose to do.
[From People Video]
I only joined a couple of sports in high school, tennis and skiing, and never considered myself an athlete either. It really just depends on finding the workouts that you like to do. In the early 2000s I discovered this program called Body For Life (I dont do it anymore, but it definitely changed my life) and got quite fit. I found my love of exercise and do consider myself athletic now. My commitment comes in waves, but like Busy I try to do it every day and am on a workout kick lately. I started lifting more weight! I?m not as cardio-centric as I used to be. It?s not something I?m doing on my own, I just joined a different gym which offers split classes where half is spinning and the other half is TRX or circuits. I?m definitely toning up but it makes me so much hungrier too and Im having trouble managing that.

Busy Philipps show has been off the air for almost two weeks and I miss her already. Shes funny, shes wacky, shes entertaining and shes always herself. This article is about periods though, and activists who are working for menstrual equality, especially for women who cannot afford supplies. Busy was interviewed for a brief documentary about this created by CBS. Celebrities help bring interest to causes and she knows this and was willing to talk about it. They also interviewed women who have been affected by lack of access to menstrual products, in school and in the military, and activists trying to distribute menstrual products and make them tax free nation-wide. (Tampons and pads are only tax free in 15 states.) This documentary reminded me of the Oscar-winning short documentary, Period. End of Sentence, except focused on US women and the ways that we are marginalized and punished for needing minor accommodations.
In fact, that stigma ? and the secrecy that it spawns ? have given rise to a painful reality known as period poverty, which quietly affects millions of American women every day. In essence, period poverty means not being able to afford to purchase feminine hygiene products, like tampons and pads. And while many of us probably take access to these sorts of products for granted, there are growing populations of women and girls who have to make impossible life choices every month, just to survive their cycles.
If you have to pick and choose, do I buy food for my child or do I get my sanitary needs, thats kind of hard and no one should have to experience that, said Brooklyn native Nicole Johnson, who went into a homeless shelter in 2005 with her four children. Its demeaning. It makes you feel very sad. Its a heartbreaking situation.
Johnson now lives in transitional housing, but she is one of the more than 16 million American women ? 1 in 8, according to 2016 U.S. Census data ? battling poverty every day.
If you cant even put a loaf of bread on the table, how do you expect a person to buy a box of tampons that may be $5 and change? she explains. Most people dont stop and think about it. I guess they feel theyre able to get their own pads and tampons. Its the littlest things that people dont focus on. Yes, you need food, you need water. Theres plenty of soup kitchens. But the personal items, the sanitary napkins, the soap, the toothpaste, deodorant? its not that easy for people.
To make matters worse, women cannot buy tampons or pads with public benefits like food stamps. They are not included in flexible or health spending account allowances. And they are not covered by health insurance or Medicaid.
So the only financial assistance women can really hope for is in the form of taxes. After all, every state has the ability to pick and choose products theyd like to make more affordable by exempting them from sales tax. All 50 states have given tax exemptions to prescription medications, even optional male enhancement ones like Rogaine. Louisiana did it for Mardi Gras beads. Idaho did it for chainsaws. Illinois even did it for BBQ sunflower seeds. Yet, to date, only 15 states and Washington, D.C. have officially exempted pads and tampons from sales tax
You know, people will say that were seeing how broken the systems are and its time to fix them, said [activist Jennifer] Weiss-Wolf. I dont actually think of it that way. I think the systems are working exactly as they were intended to do, which was to keep women out of power. And ignoring menstruation is just as much of a part of that as all of these other arguments and cases that were arguing now.
Celebrities like Busy Philipps, who regularly advocates for womens rights and the destigmatization of womens health issues, have now taken up the cause, as well, by bluntly and nonchalantly discussing their periods on both social media and national TV.
Something that happens to half the population once a month shouldnt be a taboo subject, Philipps told CBS News. I mean, to be totally honest, and Im sure Im not the first person to say this, but like if men had their periods, it would be like f***ing celebrated. You know, it would be like a holiday. They would get the week off of work and probably the week before and then like the four days after their period ends, so that they could recover. It would just be a different experience. But men do not get periods. Women get periods.
[From CBS News]
Thats outrageous that you cant pay for menstrual products with flexible spending accounts and that in 35 states theyre not even considered a tax free medical product. I really liked how the author of Periods Gone Public, Jennifer Weiss-Wolf, explained it by saying that the system works just as it was intended, implying to keep us down. Were seeing that now even more with these ridiculous bans on abortion. I did get a lot out of the documentary, which is available on CBSs site. There was a woman who was collecting and distributing pads and tampons who had two little boys who could quickly and simply describe periods and how they affect women. Meanwhile a woman described how demeaning it was to ask for minor accommodations in a military academy, where the male cadets would throw away the tampons that other women would leave to help each other out, calling them gross.
Heres a link to an article with organizations that distribute pads to women and girls in need and heres more on the period equality movement.
Ooh and yesterday was world menstrual hygiene day!

CB and I are both fans of Busy Phillips talk show, Busy Tonight. Busy honed her skills as an interviewer and brought out the best in her guests, getting them to tell not only personal stories but random things we?d never heard before. Her show feels comfortable, like a late-night gabfest with a fun friend. Now that I?ve sold it to you, let me break your heart, E! is not airing the showing after May 16. Busy made the announcement on both Instagram and Twitter Sunday night:

It?s the perfect dress for both the Ren Fair AND to let you know my show Busy Tonight won?t be returning to the E network after May 16. You can see me talk about it in my stories if you?re interested. But yeah. We have 8 more shows on E and then who knows what the future will bring. ??

I know shes not everyones favorite, but I like Busy Philipps. I like her show, I like her personality and as I keep saying she?s grown on me. She is a unique person doing her thing and being utterly herself. Her fashion is ridiculous and some find her grating, but she doesnt get hung up on that. Sshe really seems like a decent person. Shes not self sacrificing or anything but she doesnt seem particularly caught up in her ego either.
I guess Im saying all that because Busy getting a f-k ?em tattoo on her foot reminds me of something Lena Dunham would do. But Busy isnt a total a-hole like Lena so its a little surprising to me. She got a little outline of a a girl skating away, the words written in script. Its like shes leaving her detractors in the dust. Its a cute little tattoo and is an illustration from her book out last year.
