I was saddened to hear that funny couple Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey have split up. The couple seemed like an ideal, and almost perfect match. If there is such a thing. Then again, it’s easy to think that from afar, judging by their funny on TV personalities. They are both funny, have bright personalities, both seem to care about people and making a difference, both have children, and ex-spouses. After five years of dating they parted ways on good terms.
Soon after Carrey took to Twitter, where he showed his distress at Elin Nordegren, claiming that Woods must have known her husband was having multi-affairs. The man has a point, but still it was odd of him to strike out at Elin, rather than Tiger. You can’t help but like the funny man, even when he is being serious.
Just days after announcing their split, McCarthy also revealed that she would be closing the school for autistic children, Teach2Talk Academy. She and Sarah Scheflen ran the Academy, as business partners. Jenny McCarthy’s rep confirmed to Access Hollywood that as partners they made the decision to go their separate ways, due to their differing visions for the school.
McCarthy’s rep also confirmed that they will individually continue to aid in the fight of those battling autism, and carry on their mission statement of raising awareness and educating the public on autism. McCarthy has certainly brought a high level of exposure and awareness to autism and her fight has become apparent in he media. It is obvious that McCarthy really wants to help make a difference, for not just her son, but for her all children with autism.
The Academy has since, closed it’s doors, and there is no word on whether the Teach2Talk company will continue, despite the Academy closing. The Teach2Talk company is known for selling online educational resources with hopes of raising autism awareness and supplying resources to help those suffering from this disease.
McCarthy has come a long way since her career first took off. 1993, was the year she appeared in Playboy magazine’s October issue. She was paid $20,000 for the photo shoot that would quickly skyrocket her career from unknown territory to super-stardom.
Jenny then won Playmate of the Month, and then Playmate of the Year. By 1994, her popularity was on an upswing, thanks to Playboy, and she moved to L.A. There, she hosted a dating show called Hot Rocks, a Playboy TV show. By 1995, she was chosen to host Singled Out, and she left her Hot Rocks job in the dust.
She later launched a television and film career, became an author of several parenting books, then a mother, turned autism activist, when she made claims that vaccines caused autism. She also took a stand claiming that chelation therapy is effective against autism. I like that she is searching hard for the facts to conquer autism. Any good parent would do the same, even if it means questioning everything involving your child.
Her son Evan Joseph Asher, was born on May 18, 2002, in L.A. And Evan weighed 7lbs 3, 13 ounces.
McCarthy has since been a long time autism advocate. In 2005, her son Evan was diagnosed with autism.
She is also the author of five books “Baby Laughs: The Naked Truth About the First Year of Mommyhood”, “Life Laughs: The Naked Truth About Motherhood, Marriage and Moving On”, “Belly Laughs: The Naked Truth About Pregnancy and Childbirth”, “Louder Than Words: A Mother’s Journey in Healing Autism”, and Mother Warriors: A Nation of Parents Healing Autism Against All Odds.
In salute of all that McCarthy has accomplished I leave you with Jenny McCarthy trivia. And may she and Jim Carrey both find who or what they are looking for in life.
