Holly Robinson Peete and Amy Yasbeck on Breast Feeding (VIDEO)
The topic was breast feeding on Thursday's 'The Talk' (weekdays, syndicated on CBS), and guest Amy Yasbeck was grilled by the ladies. Holly Robinson Peete jokingly asked if Yasbeck were still nursing, then Julie Chen pushed for the age at which Yasbeck thought a child should still be breast fed. Yasbeck's answer was three, which seemed to surprise the crowd.Sara Gilbert made the point that milk is milk; you're either feeding the kid human milk or cow milk. "But you know what?" Yasbeck said, "I think 'no' on the Rice Krispies."
Apparently, Peete and Yasbeck have had breast-milk related episodes before. Yasbeck talked about the pair working on a show when Peete was nursing, and Peete putting a bottle of breast milk in the refrigerator. As a joke, Yasbeck came out on the set drinking milk from an identical bottle.
The discussion ended with an agreement that a child in braces is probably too old to be breast fed.
Amy Yasbeck Recalls Loss of Husband John Ritter (VIDEO)
Amy Yasbeck recalls the death of husband John Ritter on 'Whatever With Alexis and Jennifer' (weekdays, 11AM ET on Hallmark), seven years after he collapsed on the set of his sitcom '8 Simple Rules' and later died of an aortic dissection.John Ritter's doctors cleared of negligence charges
The two doctors who treated actor John Ritter after he went to the hosptial from the set of 8 Simple Rules... have been cleared of negligence charges.
Ritter's wife, actress Amy Yasbeck, sued the two doctors for $67 million, saying that they didn't do as much as they could do to save the veteran actor that night. The jury decided that the doctors were not at fault because nothing could be done to save his life after he suffered an aortic dissection. Defense attorney Stephen Fraser says that Ritter either didn't follow up in his care or didn't take his medication after a previous examination. The actor went to the hosptial from the show's set because he thought he was having a heart attack.
Interestingly, Yasbeck and her family have already collected $14 million from the hospital and other workers at the hospital.
John Ritter's family sues over his death
John Ritter's widow Amy Yasbeck is suing two doctors who treated her husband before his death in 2003. She is suing for the potential earnings of the show he starred in before his death, 8 Simple Rules For Dating My Teenage Daughter.I'm kind of ambivalent regarding this lawsuit. On one hand, the death of a loved one is always a tough time and my heart always goes out to anybody who lost someone special in their lives. On the other hand, we have too many frivolous lawsuits in this country and suing a couple of doctors isn't going to bring John Ritter back.
Settlement in John Ritter wrongful death suit
The family of John Ritter has reached a
tentative agreement in a wrongful death lawsuit with Providence St. Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, California.
Ritter collapsed on the set of the sitcom, 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter, on September 11,
2003. When he arrived at the hospital, he was suffering from chest pain, nausea, vomiting and dizziness. In the
lawsuit, Ritter's family claimed that doctors misdiagnosed him twice and he "underwent improper and unnecessary
procedures." Ritter died that night of an aortic aneurysm. He was 54. Ritter's wife, Amy Yasbeck, claimed damages
of $25 million. The terms of the settlement are not being released.TV Squad Hot Topics
