Real Alkie Talk!

No one would willingly admit to something so stoopid - unless of course, they are on a hit TV show where they are the least liked character and are about to come out with a book!
Alex McCord is best known for her years on the Real Housewives of New York series, but after today, she'll probably be known as the housewife who drank while pregnant!
You read that right! Those who ever called her and her husband, Simon van Kempen's, parenting skills into question will have a ball reading Alex's new book, Little Kids Big City: Tales From A Real House In New York City.
Within the pages, Alex talks about having a nanny come twice a week so they can go out (though inside sources say it's much more often than that), taking her newborn to a New York soiree when he was only 48 hours old and sipping champagne before going into labor!
If that doesn't scream fantastic parenting, we don't know what does!

She's a very pretty tranny!
WORLD'S FIRST SPEIDI!!!
how Speidi will look in 20 years.
ugly blonde airhead and a gay cowboy :O
I can't stand looking at these two hideous beasts. Skeletor and Mr. Skeletor. Anyone who names their kid, Francoise needs to be beaten.
a sip of wine here and there doesn't hurt the baby. especially not during the last trimester. studies have proven this. i am not trying to defend the mccords, but drinking a little bit of wine doesn't hurt the baby and studies prove it. but they are a strange couple
I'M IN NO WAY ADVOCATING DRINKING ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES WHILE PREGNANT, but european women have been known to drink wine while pregnant. They don't get drunk, they enjoy a glass periodically. Alex and her husband lead a very European lifestyle and I'm in no way surprised by this revelation of hers.
that's all? having recently had a child i can tell you this is no big deal.
does that dude have a beaver on his head?
ICKY!!!!!!! I've never seen such a self-absorbed couple before..They deserve eachother and I feel sorry for those kids beaing raised by a pair of ASSES!
Hmmm. "Sipping" a wee bit of champagne before going to labor isn't such a big deal. Simon's butter teefs, on the other hand . . . with all their money can't he afford some veneers?
When I was pregnant (just over a year ago). The nurses told my husband and I in prenatal classes that sometimes they'll tell you to go home and have a hot bath and a glass (small) of wine….they said it's no different then having morphine (and other drugs) pumped into you for the pain…but, I still wouldn't - seems wrong!
Nicole Kidman on a bad day???
This is no big deal. Pregnant women are ALLOWED to ship champagne, white wine, etc. during the final trimester. It does not hurt the baby as long as you do not drink too much,
this chick was into some serious ass play in college. Anal beads and everything
Piggy is that what youre mom did to you?
*Shrug* My mother drank while she was pregnant with me, and I'm fine..
They look like they are related
Re: ladynTO – LOL
wow. a whole sip of champagne and in her THIRD trimester! ::gasp!::
my dr. recommended a glass of wine here and there to relieve me of my anxiety during the last trimester. it's perfectly fine.
each time you open your mouth about parenting and specifically pregnancy, you make yourself look like a moron.
dumbass it's fine to drink a glass of wine or champagne when you're past 13 weeks
Wow. Can totally tell a guy writes this. In the last trimester pregnant women are allowed to have a small glass of wine a week or sips of champagne. omg.
I've been told time and time again, that it is okay to have a glass of wine occasionally while pregnant. Of course, it is a major faux pas to do it in public, because many people believe (as your post suggests) that this is strictly forbidden, even though doctors tell you it is okay. You'd be hard-pressed to find a mother-to-be drinking openly, but I'd say many do enjoy this every now and then at home. So what? Who cares?
Aside from not knowing trannys could deliver naturally, lots of us have a few drinks during pregnancy…
And if her only pregnancy drinking was at the onset of labor, this is probably no big deal, as long as the doc knew.
Everyone gets drugs during labor for the most part anyway.
Labor probably burnt the alcohol off right quick!
I'm just saying…
Having a drink, especially wine will not hurt the baby. My doctor actually told me to have a glass before coming to the hospital. Its not a big deal perez. And all parents know this. I am not saying lets all get drunk everynight, but a glass here and there will not hurt!!!
the bigger story is Simon's need of teeth bleaching!! Other than that- not that big a deal Perez!!!!! lots of women have a little bit to drink during the last trimester. NOT breaking news here…
Actually having alcohol that soon before delivery is fine. It's in the early stages of development (months 0-7) where you shouldn't drink alcohol because it might affect development. But right before labor, the baby is already done baking. A little alcohol is fine, in fact sometimes it can help enduce labor if it's taking too long. So calm down, it's not a big deal to have a little alcohol that late in the pregnancy.
seriously, many doctors will tell you to have a cocktail when you are in labor, or in early labor to slow it down and relax the body, so let's give alex a break.
Having a glass of wine or champagne is actually healthy. EXCESS is the problem. Europeans believe in the health properties of the wine(grapes). If she drank everyday then we have a problem. Trying to make a big deal where there is none.
so what they get a nanny a couple or a few times a week,most celebs have a live in nanny when they should watch there own children,they sound human to me and they are the least liked only because they are the most human.
Re: KimmieCury – It might be a beaver LOL LOL and what's wrong with beads in the bum???
Re: bongo – he's teeth are the same as PIGGY's all yellow and big, the only difference mario is not European.
oh whatever, everyone smoked and drank back in the days, who cares, also what is the big deal if the kids are in bed that the parents go out? you suck Mario
Bad parents? Compared to the Lohans and Gosselins these 2 really are parents of the year!!
In all fairness, one glass of champagne is not bad parenting nor will it harm the baby. Our American culture is so freakishly prudish.
Yep, was about to say what most have said here.. Sipping a little wine or champagne while pregnant will not harm the child. Perez, another shining example of how you will slam anyone with very little information. It is obvioous anyone who is against Jill, a la Bethenny and Alex, you will diss. For many, many years before it became an issues, women smoked and drakn throughout their pregnancy. Some had children with illnesses others had normal, healthy children. If you over do it, yes, risk of fetal alcohol syndrome. But not much, no problem.. Doctors will tell you a sip of wine here and there will not harm the fetus. Get something better. Alex and Simon may be social climbers, but they have always remained respectful, kind and stayed out of the fray.. In other words, better people than you Perez.. And oh, no surprise you posted this since Simon and alex made that comment about not wanting to go to a party thrown by you.. Hurt your feelings huh???
you're an idiot perez. it's perfectly fine to have a glass wine when you are pregnant.
Drinking a little wine does not hurt the baby, obviously. I've been hearing this through out the years from numerous doctors on television.
now…………..THEY R A FUCKED UP UGLY GROSS COUPLE
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
i honestly go back and forth on which of these two is the fuglier in the couple. it's so hard to decide. their kids have got to be absolutely BEASTLY to look at. they shouldn't have been allowed to breed.
not defending this BEAST…but it is ok to have a glass of wine every now and then when pregnant so I doubt that a glass of champagne isn't any worse. They are by far the UGLIEST couple I have EVER seen and that is saying a lot after seeing Speidi grace these pages….money does not buy class or looks that's for sure
Definitely (as many other posters have mentioned) not a big deal to have a glass of wine, sparkling or otherwise, after the first trimester is up. In America, as another poster mentioned, it's often not consumed publicly as it seems to be against public sentiment to do so. In Europe it's very different, and you can observe women enjoying a protein-rich beer or a glass of wine publicly throughout pregnancy. Perez, I've seen you post several times before being critical of women having a glass of wine/beer late in pregnancy, I would be happy to give you the number of my Dartmouth educated M.D. if you would like it from a medical professional…it's time to stop criticizing this behaviour, I've seen many FAR worse examples of parenting in celebrities!
Gee Perez, how much did Jill Zarin hag you to put up this post? Give me a break!
Did these two get hit with the ugly stick at birth or what??? please don't post pics of these two people Perez!!!
Hey is obviously as gay as they come. It is a complete joke of a marriage. Just a matter of time before that lie ends. As for their parenting skills…. pathetic. They are selfish, self-centered, and their children mean nothing to them compared to an invite to…. anything!!!!! As for the bugeyed costar of hers, that chick scares me and I feel for her daughter.
JILL ZARIN JILL ZARIN JILL ZARIN JILL ZARIN JILL ZARIN JILL ZARIN IS BEHIND THIS.
now thats an UGLY couple
hahaha. What is up with these nerds? Seriously, that guy is a beast. Ugh. The fact they pro-created makes me barf.
Welp, I ain't no doctor and I ain't no mother, but I am a consumer of lots of Discovery Health - and to my surprise medical experts across the board agree that pregnant women can drink alcohol in increeeeedible moderation ( I know I know, I don't know how I feel about this either). But the facts remain, that Alex probably didn't do anything outside of the medical guidelines given to thousands of pregnant women across the country. Yeah, drink up preggo!
Sorry but both of them are completely unattractive, ick!
Actually it is ok to consume one alcoholic beverage per day when you are pregnant. Perhaps she only had one? WTF do you know about being 1) pregnant and 2) a mother mario????
Poor thing probably HAD to drink knowing she was spawning that thing's child. Can't say I blame her. He is f'ing hideous. I will never get the image of him in a speedo out of my brain.
Nice hair piece Simon. I had no idea!
He must scare the crap out of his kids with that animal on his head!
Why doesn't anyone acknowledge the REALLY BAD toupee on his gay head?
SHE IS THE SWEETEST MOST DOWN TO EARTH OF THE NY HOUSEWIVES AND SHE DOESN'T FLY OFF THE HANDLE AND ISN'T A TWO FACE LIKE JILL. I LIKE HER.
perez you fat ashole this does not even deserve a response,you are simply a fucking moron and thank god you wont be having children.
They are HIDEOUS!!! And, their kids are menaces!
