Celebrity Week: Details

No, I'm pretty sure the chart is correct.  Jenny McCarthy thinks vaccines somehow give people autism.  A quick look at Wikipedia yields the following: "Most recently, she ... has become an activist promoting the claims that vaccines cause autism..."  I generally think that (most of if not all of) the rest of the world thinks that's a load.

Based on what I read here, I thought Jenny's position was taking a vaccine = no autism and no vaccine = autism, but the chart reads the opposite.  Also, I thought the rest of the world believes no vaccine = either autism or no autism and vaccine = autism or death

I think you have the whole thing mixed up.  McCarthy believes there is a link between receiving vaccinations and a greater risk of developing autism.  The vast majority of parents have their children vaccinated because it is the most effective way of preventing serious disease and there hasn't been any credible evidence to support her claim.

Thanks for clearing that up.  Apparently I was wrong when I thought I read that Jenny believed that giving people vaccines would supposedly cure them of their autism.

Even though that is also false, it would be a far more beneficial falsehood than her actual viewpoint is.

Anyone know which charity Chris Daughtry and Heidi Klum will be playing for on the show?  So far, my favorite sow this week is w/ Neil Patrick Harris. 

[RCPlanes59]

Chris played for the Alzheimer's Association. No clue what Heidi is playing for, we'll find out tomorrow.

Heidi's playing for Unicef

Heidi's playing for Unicef

Overall, two large-scale charities (Alzheimer's and UNICEF), a moderate-sized one (Noreen Fraser) and two small-scale ones (Snoop's and Jenny's, pardon me forgetting their names) have been represented.  Pretty diverse group, I'm actually impressed.

I still say they should have done the week the 16th-20th and schedule Betty WHite on the 17th to air on her 90th birthday instead of either Daughtry or Jenny M.

Oh yeah, sure, and then<in corrupt-a-wish mode>, Mrs. White gets slammed into by Destiny,
the contestant, when N.P.H. learns the show airs on her birthday and agrees to trade.

If Destiny or anyone else slammed into Betty White, they wouldn't be long for this world.  They'd have to enter a relocation program and assume a new identity.

That is, if they managed to escape the studio!

Aye, true-Betty White has proven her worthy of 'Game Show Legend' status-which,for all his efforts, I cannot see Drew Carey earning-EVER!
