Seriously? OMG! WTF?

Once again Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler are officially divorced again according to People. 

I was hoping they were going to make it this time, guess not…at least not for the time being.

"A woman is like a teabag, only in hot water do you realize how strong she is" Current mood: betrayed Im gonna TRY to make this short and sweet…. I am VERY far from where I would like to be in my career, I'm from a small town in the smallest state, I've started working as a teen model and lived in every city and beat the streets in every town, taking every audition, I modeled, I did pageants I took every meeting I could, I've been rejected 1000 times and I never gave up…I took every one liner, bit part I could, I didn't have my daddy's name or some hollywood connection, I worked my ass off, and no I may not be in the A list, but I have drive and conviction and ambition… and I wont ever stop trying to be involved in projects that I enjoy and get the opportunity's that allow me to show what it is I strive to do… I grew up watching musicals with talents such as Ann Miller and Fred Astaire and that is the sole reason I moved across the country to this city with the dream to be a part of this industry. with that said, never in all my life, if I thought for one second with all that I have done, (and I am actually proud of what I have accomplished), did I ever think having a confrontation with a whore in a club or the complete heartbreaking ups and downs of my marriage which sadly have to play out in front on the public, would take center stage from what it is I actually LOVE doing… it makes me fucking sick and sad….. that the reality is having a sex tape and letting men piss on you, getting dui's , flashing your crotch and going to jail is apparently today, the image young men and woman strive for to get their foot in the door… thats not talent and it sure doesn't deserve fame. I mean thats the message i see everyday in my TV, in my papers, on my radios… i dont want to be known for any of this!! ill keep my small time reality show and my dignity and keep it moving! my marriage is just not up for entertainment anymore. and perez hilton…go fuck yourself. i guess making fun of everyone in times of trouble shows exaclty the caliber of your class. but look who you named yourself after. maybe i just dont get the "jokes". but its a form of entertainment ill pass on. signing off. health, wealth and yes all the happiness you can stand! SHANNAXOXO

Sadly she is so right on on what makes a celebrity today and it is nice to see someone who is not going to go down that path to make a name for herself! Way to go!

Tune into the season finale of Crowned: The Mother of All Pageants on The CW this Wednesday at 8p. I am so sad it is the season finale because I have really grown to love this show.

As many of you know I love love love Crowned: The Mother of All Pageants, so when I was given an opportunity to interview Shanna Moakler I was like heck yeah. Shanna Moakler was not only Miss USA 1995, she has been on two other reality shows Meet the Barkers and Dancing with the Stars 3 so she really understands what it takes to make this show a success. Plus Shanna Moakler has 3 children including 2 daughters Atiana, 8 and Alabama, 2 so she understands that mother/daughter bond. 

SOW: How did you get involved with Crowned?

SM: The producers of the show called me, Carson was already attached and I just thought how campy and fun! 

SOW:What do you think of the mothers and daughters on the show?

SM: I think some are crazy! And I can't believe how some of them talk to others….but I also met some great woman who really have a great love for one another and they made my experience really fun! 

SOW: Did their interactions between each other and the others shock you?

SM: I wasn't able 2 see what went on in the house, I only saw what they did on stage! So yes I'm shocked watching the shows now and seeing some of the woman's behavior! Inspire you? There were 3 teams that truly inspired me, they way they worked together, the love and respect they had for one another….and their personal stories.

SOW: Has this experience changed the way you interact with your daughters? 

SM: Lol, no..I try to teach my children to have a love for life, to be confident, to treat others as they would like to be treated. And that won't ever change.

SOW: Would you do a pageant with them?

SM: Oh gosh! I don't think so…my pageant days are over, but I do love them! I would support my kids 100% if they wanted to do one. 

SOW: Do you think the teams that have pageant experience had an advantage or all the teams were equal?

SM: I think the teams had a little advantage but not to much, we didn't stick to a strict pageant format, we really wanted to do challenges everyone could do and to find a "real" mother/daughter team that everyone could relate to. 

SOW: What do we have to look forward to in the upcoming episodes?

SM: Well I tell everyone, this show isn't rocket science, we aren't trying to cure cancer, its a reality show, its suppose to be fun and silly yet have crazy drama and shocking moments and this show does! We do have a huge pageant finale show and it’s really cool for the finale! 

SOW: What advice do you have for mothers who want to get their daughters into the pageants?

SM: The most beautiful woman to me, are the ones who are truly comfortable in their own skin, I've judged many pageants and not the most beautiful always wins, I find its the woman who radiates confidence. So I tell woman to be themselves and stand by their morals and values. 

SOW: How was it being the Judge and not being judged?

SM: I LOVED it, it’s something I know a lot about and I could just relax and have fun! U see me serious a lot but the judges and I had a blast and laughed the entire time… 

SOW: What do your daughters think of the show?

SM: Only my oldest has seen it and she thinks it’s silly and fun, she giggles and at the same time thinks its fun to see the teams choices…. 

SOW: Did you ask any of the Dancing with the Star Judges for advice on how to be on for this show?

SM: Lol! NO! I love those guys but they were really tough on me! I am a little tough but I still really want the teams to have a good time! I know how nervous they are….

SOW: Has Carson Kressley given you any fashion advice? 

SM: Ugh! I wish! Next time I see him I should have him help me! We never had to much time to get into advice but god I love him, he's so fun and witty…it was a blast working with him and Cynthia!

Hopefully she will be able to get advice from Carson soon if/when Crowned gets picked up for a second season!

So tune into Crowned: The Mother of All Pageants tonight and every Wednesday at 8p on The CW. It is that perfect show to get you through the cold winter months!!! As she said it is pure campy fun and then some!!! I promise you will enjoy it it has something for everyone!

Thank you so much Shanna for taking the time to answer my questions!!! And to Suzanne for setting this up!!!

Travis Braker and Shanna Moakler break up again and this time they are keeping it out of MySpace…so far. A source told People in an interview this time it looks like it is for real.

No reason was given for why their relationship is over, but hopefully they will not get back together again anytime soon. But when she needs the publicity, I am sure they will hook up again or she will post something on MySpace.
