He should wear the grinch suit doing that!
HEY That's COOL!!
Jim Carrey is the man!
God Jim Carrey is a sexy man!
Jim is looking very old here.
Perez - you rock!! As a Mom of a child with Autism - I love how you are covering Jenny and her great works.
Thank you!!
at least it's for a good cause. i support them very much.
FIRST?
They're a cute couple
OMG I HOpe I'am The 1st one to write a comment………….. ahhh someone shoot me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
jim carrey seems like a cool dude
They're all so damn cute together! It's good to see Jenny McCarthy not being a typical hollywood blonde and is actually doing something productive.
man! she is really pretty.
and jim carrey looks like he is aging a bit. ha. but i still love him
they all look so cute together.
: )
first! think gree
lol i didn't know they were together. how cute.
Quit scaring people into not vaccinating their children! These idiots are causing outbreaks of diseases we had pretty much eradicated. And you know when diseases re-emerge they are always about 10x more powerful. Your child is going to "become autistic" because it's in their genetic makeup…not because of shots.
Looks like Grandpa Jim to me. As much as I love Jim Carrey he's looking a little old.
Hey!! That's great!!! Her son has austism rite??
People really do need to start addressing this vaccine issue and stop being sheep and just vaccinating as per the doctor's orders.
Jim needs botox….
One mercury cocktail for your 2 month old baby, coming right up.
i use to think jim sold out.
but now.. he's da man.
Mercury injected into an infant whose immune system hasn't developed yet . . . sounds wise (NOT).
Re: LuvPerez –
You're an idiot. You can't claim to know why kids get autism any more than all the doctors of the world. We simply don't know what causes it yet.
HOWEVER, having said that…McCarthy probably has a very valid point about "too many, too soon" but one thing is certain: vaccines DON'T cause autism. They simply don't. I've read the medical studies…there is no link that can be found as of today, and many countries have been looking…for DECADES.
People need to learn more about a matter before they go parading for it.
I'd love to give my newborn baby a noxious mix of chemicals - sounds really smart.
That kid looks like he has a bottle of pee to drink.
What about if we took all the chemicals out of the vaccines and we waited until children were older to give them these vaccines and we spaced them out (no more 3 shots contained in 1)??? That would be a great start. Such an easy solution.
Do your research and see what these vaccines have done to children and then you'll be out there marching too.
Injecting mercury into children - great idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: Lizzy –
mature comment
She rocks, good for her, wish people would wake the hell up about vaccines in the States, its all profit and its poison, take the junk out and leave it to a vaccine, not a science project…
Finally! Someone is doing something about the vaccine scam.
The government created vaccines to weekend the immune system NOT strengthen it for more hospital visits.
people should try reading the research that shows that vaccines DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM……vaccnines are good and people should stop scaring others out of them! Its intersting that out of all the authors who write the first study linking autism with vaccines almost all HAVE RETRACTED what they said. Vaccinate your kids!
I don't think that this is about detering parents from vaccinating their children but about making vaccinations safer. I am sure their are many things in vaccinations that are very poisinous to children. I vaccinated my daughter. Medications…vaccinations could all use some improving. Nothing is perfect.
This is a good cause…Good for them.
Too many, too soon - it would be such a simple fix if we could space the vaccines out. Let's get on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My newborn baby needs a couple of shots of mercury, please.
I find it funny that they are walking for "Green Vaccines" yet Jenny's son is carrying a water bottle. Not so green, huh?
I know that the deal is here, but seriously the kid looks like he pee in that bottle.
search: crazyunicorns
psttt……Someone needs to tell Malario and Hysterical Jenny that mercury, such as thimerisal which is used as a preservative in vaccines, is no longer used and hasn't been used in vaccines since 2001 with some exceptions of trace amounts. Study after study has shown no link that mercury causes autism. People, do the research and do not listen to idiots like Malario and Jenny McCarthy. There is more environmental mercury out there than in vaccines.
Listen to researchers who do double blind studies and not failed actresses and actors turn bloggers.
What a sweet couple. Love them.
Mercury Rocks!!!!!!!!!!! Inject me with some of that. Sounds like it will be really good for me. Yeah, my newborn immune system can handle it.
I'm inspired. I so appreciate the way Jenny McCarthy has turned from her once trashy ways and uses her celebrity for great things like this.
Jim Carrey is a good man. He doesn't have to do this and stay in a relationship with a mom who has so many problems.
Iew, is that child drinking urine?
Let's go back to the middle ages and not vaccinate!
The kid probably got autism from the piss he is drinking in that plastic bottle.
what a bunch of maroons!
These fools and the rest of the liberal left really want to destroy western civilization starting with re-introducing now preventable diseases!
Thanks for covering issues concerning the problems with vaccines in America today. People are not dying from chicken pox or measles, however 1 out of 94 boys today are autistic. Something's not right.
Re: LuvPerez – Are you a parent of an Autistic child? Are U speaking from experience? Not likely, or you wouldn't have made this ridiculous comment. All we are asking, as PARENTS OF AUTISTIC CHILDREN, is that the FDA make it less of a "One Size Fits All" series of innoculations, and taylor it to the specific needs of each child. Look at the epidemic proportions of this (1 in 150 births), compared to 20 years ago (1 in every 10,000 births). If INDEED it is a genitically predetermined DISEASE, we don't need any further help with these TRIGGERS (eg numerous innoculations given all at once, MMR, etc….).
Please educate yourself before making such an ill-informed comment!!!!!
I thought her son passed away.
Isn't that what she said on Larry King?
That he went into cardiac arrest and died in her arms?
thats such a cute family but whats in the kids bottle??
I REALLY don't mean to offend anyone, but i come from a long line of doctors, as I am one myself, it's NOT the vaccines that are causing this, it usually happens in the womb, the umbilical cord is too blame NOT the vaccines, please educate yourself people!
Awesome! Something I really support.
my mom's at that rally!
omg, how CUTE are they as a family, there really isn't a more perfect couple with them both being HILARIOUS actors and cool people on reality!
I love and respect them - beside their values, I love how damn good they are at getting media attention for their cause! "Green Our Vaccines" - simple but so clever!! So easy to say! So relevant - Going green is like the cool thing to do (I know I know, that is not the justification but don't tell me it isn't the motivation for half the people who boast about being green) anyway, I think their T shirts and the shot of the three of them is BRILLIANT.
Re: alissa –
As long as there are "doctors" like you there will be autism.
I love that Jim is so supportive and that Jenny is open and honest about her sons disability. It nice to see celebs doing good instead of getting DUI's, busted for drugs, and being famous for nothing.
Forgot to mention that while mercury has been taken out of vaccines, the autism rate has increased. There is a lot we don't know about autism and to blame vaccines is what hysterical people do.
I am loving them as a couple.
Good for Jenny and Jim. They are making a difference. Glad to see people in Hollywood that are informed, useful and thoughtful. The vaccines in America have had large successes to be sure, but there are still problems with how many we administer and when. Glad to see I'm not the only one concerned.
Re: jessic – yes - and then he was revived and lived. A little confusing but must have been horrid to experience as a mother…
Thanks Perez, for covering so many worthy causes on your websites.
Love ya!
Educate yourselves people. This is such a fucking waste of time. Someone show me evidence that vaccines cause autism and I'll eat my own shit. Seriously.
Good for Jenny and Jim. There isn't conclusive evidence that vaccines cause autism…but the fact that the number of vaccines kids get these days compared to even 20 years ago has skyrocketed, just as the number of autism cases has skyrocketed gives pause for thought…it's likely 'too much too soon' and Jenny McCarthy is the only person with the balls to say it!
Re: K – It's 1 in 94 now? Damn, every day this becomes just a little more frightening!!
I think it ridiculous that so many idiot bloggers seem to think that this is ALL a genetic problem, and not something in our environment….Where WERE ALL THESE AUTISTICS back in the 60's/70's/80's? I don't recall seeing a whole lot of them!
Innoculations, plastics, pesticides, the air we breathe, the food we ingest….
I guess, not until it hits you in your own home (as it has mine & countless others) can you make these random (not you K) assertions…..
You ROCK Jenny & Jim!!
Such a great couple…doing good without throwing it in our faces like Brad and Angie…
i love seeing that so many retards have internet access.
you're right–it's far greater to watch your kid unnecessarily die of disease than to give a HARMLESS vaccine which does not cause autism. good call. then go form a group called 'mothers with blood on their hands.' awesome rallies can be had then.
did anyone stop to recall that MANY medications around the turn of the century were full of mercury? the kids didn't get autism then because that's just not the cause. and spacing won't help either because vaccines DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM. it coincidentally manifests at that time. read up, ignorants.
please, vaccinate your child. herd immunity won't last forever.
Stop with supporting misinformation, Perez. While I get that you don't research anything or have much knowledge on subjects outside of rehab, partying, and what you call fashion (scene kid much?), it's sad that you pretend that you do. Millions read your gossip blog, and the least you can do is either stay away from that of which you're ignorant of, or do the damn leg work in understanding.
VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM.
This isn't a good cause — it's a heavily misinformed and ignorant one. Jenny Mccarthy, although a lovely person, uses her "mothering instincts" rather than her brain in backing up the information she has (i.e. none).
Vaccines haven't had mercury in them for YEARS. The vaccines her child had? No fucking mercury.
We'd all like to find a way to prevent autism. We'd all like a "cure". We'd all like someone or something to blame for any mishap, disease, and condition that alters one's state of being, but an entire organisation based upon ignorance does no one any good.
More time, effort, funding, and thought should go into proper research versus angry parents.
Fucking hell, Perez. Be smarter than this. You could do some real good, but instead you're, once again, as informed and helpful as Sting's charity work.
LAME>>
WOW i cant believe how stupid this all is… Green our vaccines… seriously this whole green thing needs to stop as does this vaccine thing. of course a new plague could help…
Good for them. I totally support this cause! Jenny mcarthy is a wonderful mother who actually gives a damn about her child. Doctors these days FRANKENSTEIN these young babies by injecting poisonous substances into them. THERE IS PROOF. The symptoms are chronic and get worse with age if not treated. Doctors want to treat symptoms and not the cause. Its all about money.
No, vaccines do not CAUSE autism, almost all well educated advocates for delayed vaccinations or anti-vaccinations will tell you that - they CAN be a TRIGGER to autism. If the child is predisposed to it, the horrific ingredients in vaccinations can and do set off these problems in children…
As a mom, I can imagine wanting to find some cause for my child's condition. But, the fact is that there is no link between autism and vaccinations. IMO, it is wrong for a celebrity to get on her soapbox without the facts. There are people right now refusing to vaccinate because of Jenny McCarty, and those people are putting their children at risk.
