FOCUS Blog

Well Hello

2009-04-24T15:57:56Z

Well my assistant Leah finally explained to me what these blogs were, and I must say, I am quite intrigued. As a young girl in New Milford I so enjoyed reading our housekeepers diary. She kept it in her poorly made pocketbook and I would take it when she was napping in the afternoon. She was a portly woman from the seedy part of Rhode Island, but oh how she fantasized about our gardener. I must say, she actually had a real talent for words. That's an unusual talent to find in a domestic. Unfortunately she was killed in some sort of canoing accident. People don't realize that canoes can be really dangerous. They don't. Leah, make sure you write that. That canoes are dangerous. I want people to know that because they don't think about it. Well, I think that's plenty. Let's go have lunch now.

Charity's Update and Response to Fans!

2009-04-23T14:06:19Z

So sorry it's been so long since I've blogged -- I did write a few blogs that apparently got "lost" to the internet -- AHEM -- interesting that they were all about my work for the McCain campaign.

I get so many emails from fans asking, Charity, what are you up to? And perhaps, more importantly, asking my advice on a variety of matters--so I thought I would take this opportunity to answer some of your questions!

to PTAMom in Indianapolis:

I always say, kill them with kindness! If you are having trouble being heard because your opinions are not "popular", I suggest baking special cupcakes, then while people's mouths are full of delicious sugar -- and think you are a "sweetie" you can bring up your unhappiness with the current sex ed program. And it always helps to have a petition to back you up! Try taking it to your church!

to QuestioningCareerPath in Seattle:

I am living proof that ladies, we can have it all! I have always been a "working mom" and so far, I have not had to give up too much of my own interests in order to have enough time with my husband Maxwell and our little one! In fact, I have found that the bBaby was indeed my number one priority--so I may have to skip some charity events and speaking engagements here and there--I could not ask for a better family so I must be the best wife and mother I can be for them!

to MarthaOnABudget in Cleveland:

You deserve kudos! What a great idea, using beef instead of tofu in that recipe!

to Sharon B. in Yonkers:

Thank you, that dress was from the Donna Karan spring line. But look for affordable and attractive clothing for ladies of all ages in my upcoming Charity fashion line at Kohl's stores everywhere!

Well, that's all for now - the baby and I will be in Augusta, GA for the next few weeks cheering Maxwell on in The Masters tournament!

Love, Charity

President Contest 2008!!!

2008-10-08T02:58:29Z

i'm eating a 100 cal. chocolate pudding pack right now - omg so good.

soooooooo I totally decided that I'm voting for................John McCain! My reason is because everytime I vote for a president, the other guy wins instead...so obviously I'm bad luck when it comes to president contests.

BTW, i heard the economy's like really, really good right now. :p

Ok! I'm writing a fucking blog!

2008-08-20T03:28:44Z

Alright, I finally broke down and am writing my manifesto for all you people to fawn over and hopefully change history with my witty insight. I hope that sounds pretentious since I think blogging is for the birds! But, I promised I'd write something so here it goes.

This summer has been pretty crazy. I have been to 15 cities in 10 weeks and have seen more backstage bathrooms than Pamela DeBarge! I think that's her name...note to self....check references. I am not drinking this summer, which has been hell, since I looooooove mojitios, which of course, is a summer drink! Ohhhh, the obvious!

How do people actually write these things? I'm bored, god knows how you people feel!

Well, I'm off to kick my husband! See you in September!

Love Ya! Mean It!

summer is my absolute favoritest month b/c you don't have to wear a lot of clothes and stuff and i totally LOVE the beach. i grew up on the beach - TOTAL beach bum. august makes me sad b/c september comes after it and then october and then november and eventually february which...that month should be removed from the calendar altogether, but whatever i'm not the president so i can't make that rule but someone should do something about it.

anyway...what the f was i just saying? oh. yeah. summer. so sept 21 - the fall kicks in...people love sweater weather...booo. i'm a weather girl...it's what i do ya know it's my job i'm a professional and as a professional i say that summer is the best.

BUT! with september brings another FOCUS show! ahhhhhhhh! Sept 14th! We have something brewing but i don't know what b/c the other ladies like to tease me and not tell me what's up but i know that if i get Bev or Dinah drunk one night they'll tell me and then i'll totes blog about it - PROMISE.

Can't anything go right for this award winning journalist?

I recently moved into a stunning new summer home in lovely, Southern California or "So Cal" as my daughter calls it. My home over looks the ocean and it really is absolutely beautiful. I haven't seen such beauty since I climbed the majestic Mount Everest with the strapping young lads of the Yale Mountain Climbing Society. Well, everything was going so swimmingly until one morning, at about 9:00am, an immense banging over took the eastern part of my beach house. Earthquake? No. Tsunami? No. Ed Begley Jr. installing solar panels onto his roof, that now, block the sun coming into my bedroom skylight? Yes! Unnecessarily large solar panels blocking MY sun into MY house. And, after many many attempts to contact Mr. Begley regarding his atrocious addition to his already mangled and dilapidated trailer-park home, I have been forced to consult my lawyers. If that does not heed a warning to the "actor", I shall bring out my investigative journalistic guns! You have been forewarned Begley!

Charity's Update

2008-07-20T21:59:19Z

Wow, it has been quite a hiatus! Today as we were driving home from Baby Tai Chi, I had to laugh because no one has quite as busy a vacation as the Prescott Worthingtons! First, Maxwell and I took the Baby to Pretoria, South Africa. What wonderful people! So full of inspiration! We met so many adorable little orphans, I had to tell myself - "don't turn into Angelina" - lol, jk, of course! I am trying to have the Charity Leigh Foundation begin building a school for such orphans down there. The stories we heard were enough to make Maxwell, the baby, the US Weekly reporter, and photographer that was with us, and I, all cry.

Then this week, we went to cheer Dad on at the British Open. Everyone in London was talking Madonna and A-Rod - I really am ashamed that he would leave that lovely wife! Not to mention all this Kaballah business! I mean, really. For shame! I've met Cynthia Rod a couple of times at various charity events and she is really a strong and lovely woman. Classy.

I do miss Dinah and the ladies right now - can't wait to get back to the set - I have some new ideas for decorating!

Love, Charity
