Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey Pictures Photos

Their love is no laughing matter.

Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey looked beautiful and in love at the premiere of Yes Man in LA last night.

I give Jenny McCarthy a lot of shit around here, but the truth is that I respect her for being so focused on raising awareness about autism and always putting her child’s needs first. She’s one of those celebrities who didn’t hold a press conference to talk about how she was going to focus on her family and humanitarian efforts and then proceed to focus on making movies and getting the paparazzi to take pictures of her with her kid. She just quietly transitioned from ditzy blonde bombshell to full-time mother and advocate for her child, and that shit wins a lot of points in my book. Also, she looks freakin’ amazing here. Rock on, Jenny.

  • shes a successful author now too; i hear her books are funny. i like the platinum hair on her. ive been a fan since singled out.

  • I think Jenny McCarthy is completely irresponsible with her celebrity status and the mis-information she recklessly disseminates.

    And yes, she looks good.

    • Do you have information on her kid and his autism before she started whatever procedures she did with him? or after? Everyone is different, I’m sure every case of autism is different also. How can this be irresponsible to talk about how she went about treating her kid; on her own…

      Now if Oprah brought some housewife from Plano, TX that through prayer, research and testing has made advances in her child’s autism; would you laud that or call it irresponsible. I’m just saying that Jenny, like any other concerned parent of a child with special needs, took to the fight, studied it; she has the means to afford it; and thinks she found a cure for her son… good for her… if someone else benefits from her; great for them, if they don’t, then there are other options out there… I know I would try them all to make my child better.

      • They do make an attractive couple.

        It’s too bad that she is such an idiot for declaring that she cured a condition that has no cure. If it were that easy, no child would have autism. Not to mention, whenever she is on a show, all she does is rant and never lets anyone else make a point (probably because she knows she can easily be proved wrong).

        Her son either was misdiagnosed or still has autism. Or maybe he just doesn’t want a crazy loon for a mommy so he withdraws from HER.

        (If I am wrong, then I hope her dedication leads her to cures for HIV and cancer next.)

      • yes, I would try too. But Autism cannot be cured and she has shown up on Oprah saying she has CURED her son of Autism; not made advances…cured. And people are stupid and believe celebrities. Maybe her son was incorrectly dx’d but I can basically bet my life that she didn’t CURE him with a wheat free diet.

      • I agree with ..::;;// BEAT \\;;::.. above.

        If it was that easy, no one would have autism. And she really does act crazy when she is supposed to be discussing it. She won’t listen to and interrupts people who know a lot more than her, like freaking DOCTORS. I don’t doubt that his autism has become more manageable, and I think that diet changes should be talked about more if they can help some people– but it is simply unacceptable to claim that you “cured” something

    • I agree. It is irresponsible throwing around the world “cure.” There is no cure. Dietary changes can certainly help some people, but that is only helping the autism, NOT curing it completely.

      It kind of makes me think of all those medicines that you can take when you have HIV. They may treat symptoms and keep you healthier, but at the end of the day, you are still HIV positive. Or if you take Nyquil for a cold– Nyquil is NOT curing your cold. It is just helping to suppress some of your symptoms.

      This difference is enormous and should not be confused. I understand why this would bother people, especially those dealing with autism in their families. They know that it is just not that easy.

  • You just have to give it to her…misdiagnosed, cured, whatever, the kid is better.. I’ll take that miracle; if she’s crazy or not, the kid is better; maybe she should have a platform, more controlled, yes, but the kid is ok now? right? Let it be something to be celebrated.

  • I hate to throw fuel to this fire, but her kid still has autism. I’ve met Jenny and her son at UCLA 2 summers ago(she is even prettier in person) at an autism intensive program.

    Her’s the deal(from my own opinion) her son autism was severe, but with all the therapy and treatments($$$$$) he has improved. A lot. But he has moderate autism at the least. He will never be mainstreamed in a public school.

    Jenny looks great and has brought so much attention to autism good or bad. Her and Jim make a great couple!

    • My one question is, ” is whatever she’s doing working for her kid?” and if so, why not celebrate it, research it, do something with it; rather than just call her an ass… Who knows, maybe 5, 10 years from now they might call what she did revolutionary… I don’t have a dog in the fight, just hate to see kids afflicted like this; and if the kid has improved, great… I see a big difference with what she’s going out saying than some of the Hollywood Elite who wanted change and just spouted off just for the opportunity to get facetime on Extra or Access Hollywood. Jenny has no problem debating any other expert in the field; which is maybe what has helped the cause, bringing attention to it. Who knows though.

  • I like Jenny McCarthy, but I think she looks horrible, AWful in these photographs! That hair! Her face! Gross. Sorry Beet, I just do not see this “amazing-looking” you’re talking about, at all. Like Michael K at dListed said, she “looks like a low-rent pepaw Marilyn Monroe impersonator,” she does, too.

    Jim Carrey I just can’t stand, period.

  • “She just quietly transitioned from ditzy blonde bombshell to full-time mother and advocate for her child”…..

    what are we so proud of? since when did she have a booming career? she’s like carmen electra or something. if it wasn’t for singled out, and playboy, how many of us would even know her? something tells me it wasn’t a hard transition. She’s probably more famous now…. thanks a lot, Carrey

  • Beet Czar, good point. Wendi, bad point. Her son has shown remarkable improvement, to quibble over semantics- she used the word “cured”- is fso petty. Keep an open mind about the relationship between what we eat & how our brains & bodies function.

    Don’t knock the mother of a child who suffers from such a devastating disability. Bottom line, she cares about her kid.

    • that is not petty. there is a huge fucking difference between improved and cured. HUGE. this is not a semantics debate. Would you rather have improved cancer or fucking cured cancer?

      and FYI zooey, Wendie DOES know what she is talking about. So good job. YOU just knocked the mother of a child who has a similar disorder. Of course she would feel passionately about this.

      and thinking that you have “cured” your child is not going to help them when they still need other help.

    • Hey, I’m the mother of a child who suffers from the same such devastating disability. So trust me, if her son is on the spectrum, I know the pain she feels when you go through the death of the dream. And having to create a new dream.

      But if you really think the difference between manage and cure is semantical, that frightens me.

      • But it sounds like people are hating on her for even trying… she is doing something… just because she’s one of the Hollywood Elite geniuses? she can’t do good…I still think what she’s done is amazing; bringing light to it, bringing new thoughts is what you want for something like this terrible childhood affliction that gets forgotten because it is a “quiet” disability. People should be on her bandwagon, maybe trying to reign her ass in a bit; but still not bringing her down… god forbid if it was Sean Penn, Babs, Madonna, a Dixie Freakin’ Chick, it would be treated differently.

  • I applaud anyone who attempts to make the spectrum an easier place to be. I cannot support blatant and potentially damaging misinformation. Obviously I have a dog in the fight and want the most accurate information both for his own management and for public knowledge.

  • > “I give Jenny McCarthy a lot of shit around here, but the truth is that I respect her for being so focused on raising awareness about autism”

    Are you fucking kidding me? She was the dumb cunt that said autism could be cured by vitamins and diet.

    Come on Beet!

  • Wendie, again my apologies. I was out of line. From a personal standpoint, I am bipolar. Like autism, it’s managed, never cured. Three years ago I added supplements, vitamins, low-carb diet & running along with the medication. For me it made an amazing difference, I got my life back. I wouldn’t quit the medication, but I believe the other stuff helps tremendously. Anyway I wish the best for you & your son.

  • It’s ok 00zoey. But obviously you understand my viewpoint. If I was going around telling people you could be cured, you’d be pissed knowing that it wasn’t true.

  • i don’t think she’s funny at all, with her stupid faces instead of content, but she really does look good still

  • Normally she’s gorgeous but she looks bloody awful in these pictures. What’s with the six-head and the poodle hair?
