hi everyone!
as you know i’ve been in a crappy place… and no NOT because of a bad press photo (which i’ve been promised will be retouched subject to my approval) but because of real shit i’m not permitted to discuss in a public forum…
so i consulted my brother and told him i’m struggling… complaining on air about my body- stressed and eating too much (because unlike ummm ALEXIS!!! i eat when stressed/upset) and i just want to BLURT out everything going on.
and he said to me, "get it together and do your job! you are an entertainer" and i realize…thanks brother brian (he’s so great) that part of my job is being ok with talking about all the things i can discuss and being ok with not talking about what i cannot discuss….not all that sure that i’m an "entertainer" though…that just makes me laugh!
so another lesson learned…on a not so easy day…i’m lucky to have a job where i can talk and get (most) stuff out on the air… REALLY lucky. i imagine for most some days at work must be unbeareable…because in an office setting one can’t REALLY fall apart right?

I’m also wondering why these people that appear to think poorly of the quality of your show, still come to your website, read your blog and even comment. That says more about them then it does the show…
P.S. I don’t think Jennifer plays second fiddle to Alexis. I actually see Jennifer as the one who runs shi*. Have you ever heard Alexis freak out when she has to pull up calls from the que? 🙂
Matt V says
Hey jennifer! Both you and Alexis are hot in your own individual ways…you have great energy, a great laugh, and you definitely entertain us every day…even the re runs! So hope you feel better!
mingya says
Hey Jennifer – Friggin STOP IT!!! You keep looking for people you don’t even know on this blog to tell you that you’re ok when you know you’re ok!!! We all feel like shit sometimes. Wouldn’t be human if we didn’t. We all have bad, sad times and don’t you have a husband and kids that are alive and love you?????? HELLO??????? Knock it off. You’re sounding like a spoiled brat.
Bobby says
Keep your head up honey. Your a hot sexy mama. I honestly think it’s being around Alexis so much. She’s hyper-critical of others, especially about their weight. I’m sure your internalizing some of the crap that she says. Get away from that depressed negativity! Your a sweet happy person! YOu should stay that way! Love ya.
Kim from NJ says
i think you are great, don’t listen to the haters. everyone has problems. it can be helpful to vent and you get to do it as a job! that is awesome. and you get lots of support and advice (ignore the nay sayers). hope all gets better for you soon. i am in a crappy place too. it may not be the same situation but we can all use some support. hugs.
michelle says
jennifer- i am sorry you are in a funk. i’m sure it will pass, and you are a very strong woman, with a wonderful husband and family. with them, you will get through whatever difficult situations life throws in front of you. i am a big believer in handling things as they come to you, and not trying to anticipate what you think “might” come. you can eliminate a lot of anguish and stress this way.
also, as much as i like chrissy and paulie, i have to say that they do not get much done in the way of making the show fresh and interesting anymore. it seems that when you and alexis are gone, they fail to keep the engine running, so to speak. in fact, i don’t make much of an effort to listen when i know you two are there, and I am dying to know more about your tv project. i think i am just tired of hearing about how they don’t get enough done when you are gone, and i am really tired of hearing the same freaking bumpers all the time. i say it’s time to lose the dead weight.
nriz says
Keep up the great work. You guys make me piss my pants on my way home from work. People are crazy and jealous and hide behind their comments.
Colin says
Maybe a new hairstyle would help, honey. Cut it or condition it.
RN Jeff says
Jen XOXO – I hope you, your family and friends are all healthy. Those are the things that are important, not how much your hair costs to get colored or the what british or german car someone is driving around to impress people they don’t even know, love you lots… Nurse Jeff
NOLA says
I love Paulie and Chrissy! ;). Jen take a lesson from Howard Stern, he talks about EVERYTHING on the air. Let yourself go.
lil says
sorry you are in a crappy place. you are strong and will deal and be stronger for having done it. judging from some of the unkind comments from some of the other bloggers, it is probably a good thing you can’t discuss whatever it is in a public forum – somethings are better dealt with privately. be kinder to yourself….being rail thin is neither healthy nor attractive and it is hard to be around even a close friend who is so focused on body image. take care.
S says
Jen,
I love you, but it is so freaking annoying when you bring this up. You know what that is like… there is something I really want to say, but I can’t. Everyone gets annoyed with this. Don’t mention the shit or spill it. I love you and love the show. Sorry you are in a crappy place. I eat when stressed as well. I have shit happening in my life as well and it sucks!
Cjindy says
You are such a dork. Like in chubby dork with way too much hair. As far as Alexis? She is a way too skinny stick. Can you say “scarecrow”? Not attractive AT ALL. Maybe I just don’t get it but I think you are both whiners big time. Don’t have a clue about real life. Whine, whine, whine.
WTF says
ok, who farted?
Megan in Ohio says
Hey Jen, I love the show and everything about the show, which includes Paulie and Chrissy. Everyone hits some rough spots and its ok to vent. How else would you ever even start to fell better if you couldnt vent and just let it out. Its ok. Dont read what other aholes write, dont even let them be posted whats the point. There isnt one. Your B E A U T I F U L!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alexis I love you to, you are also beautiful and you have every right to vent as well. Just keep on keepin on.
angrynikki says
it’s your blog, so you can write what you want, right? if people don’t like they can write their own blog or not read this one, right? how boring would this blog be if you only wrote about kittens and rainbows and shit?
SL says
You know it’s funny, you are such a great package deal!!! Wife, mom, career, sista, daughter!! We all have rough patches and you are no different. Please never compare yourself to Alexis she wants what you have and you may want what she has way to heavy!!!! Embrace your beauty and gifts!!! Take care
M in CA says
Wow, if you weren’t feeling bad enough, reading some of these comments may do the trick. Feeling bad does not necessarily have to do with money – though some people seem to think that happiness revolves around money. You have a right to your feelings. Sorry that some people are treating you like a circus animal only there for their entertainment. Sending you as much love as a stranger could possibly send.
Doug says
Four hosts for one show is two hosts too many. Dump Paulie and Chrissy, please…
Dana in Philly says
I made the decision this morning to stop reading the responses to your blog. I will continue to read and enjoy both blogs (which I love), but I am tired of all the “mean girls” out there that are constantly making negative comments. Does it make them feel good to piss on somebodies peonies? (pun intended, Alexis!) Who do these “biotches” think they are to tell you what to do with your hair, or your life? Personally, I would say to be more selective in your posts. You have a “delete” button and you know how to use it!!! You are not obligated to post any of the crap you receive from these people and its really bringing the blog down. Power to the positive!!! Love you guys!
Ollivia says
Everyone has problems, no matter how rich or famous they are. There are great suggestions here and some good people. Ignore the nasty posts, rooted in jealousy.
I’m glad you started this topic – it has generated a lot of buzz!
Remember – there are weeds in every garden, focus on the flowers girl, they are beautiful!
Shannon says
Jen, do you really give a crap what everyone thinks. I hope not because it’s not going to influence you either way. Just be you and who cares about everyone’s opinion. You’re going to worry about anything and everything for the rest of your life. Just let it go and relax. CALL ME! LOL.
gigi says
one last comment for all those who tell Jen that she should happy because she has money and material things. THAT DOES NOT MAKE YOU HAPPY! It only allows you to look for happiness in more places. And frankly, all of you sound jealous.
katie says
jennifer~
i AM one of those people susan was talking about, i have a mortgage, TONS of bills, i am just out of school and i work two entry level jobs in a very competitive industry. i also feel crappy about myself sometimes, my skin, my hair, my weight, whatever… so PLEASE keep talking about your struggles, i know how hard it must be for you, regardless of your bank account balance. No amount of $$$ can buy self-esteem or self-acceptance (corny but true, right??!) F those women with their evil comments. i am struggling to get by and i LOVE your show! you and alexis are a bright spot in my day! i don’t give a fuck who your parents are, you two are fantastic!
Sali says
Focus on the positive comments Jen..they far outweigh the negative…stop giving the nasties air time. I hope things get better for you.
Canada Kathy says
To Susan/Susy (Can we say same person?). You need to realize that just because someone may have money, that dosen’t mean that they can’t experience pain in their lives. Money is not a cure all. You need to get a grip on reality, and stop bitching about what someone else may be going through. And to you Jennifer, I love your show, and you both are great. I’m sorry for whatever you may be going through. I know it’s easy to pick up on the few people here that feel the need to tell you that what you are feeling dosen’t mean anything just because you have a radio show. Take care and hopefully things will work themselves out for you soon.
Melanie says
Jen,
Keep your head up girl! Don’t worry about the ridiculous comments left by stupid and immature people. You are entitled to your feelings and they should not be dismissed.
You are beautiful and talented women. You have a husband and family that loves you. Be proud of what you have accomplished! Take time this weekend to do something you enjoy.
Your funk will pass….in the meantime if you have to snack on something….try Weight Watchers ice-cream it is awesome. :0)
PS- Susan AKA- Susy I think you need a hobby.
amy says
I like kittens and rainbows!! ha ha!
laura m. says
to nola, howard does not talk about everything. he keeps some stuff very private as he should. how many of us were shocked when we heard the news that he and alison were getting a divorce?! and he kept his relationship with beth a secret for awhile.
it gets better said... says
almost went bankrupt after having invitro twins with $30,000.00 in cash worth of medical problems, a renovated house that went 40K over due to a recommended doufus of a contractor and me with no job cause i was out too long on disability and unable to get one due to their illnesses and not much help. here’s what you do and you may not want to do it: chop off your hair. it’s empowering. i’ve always had oily skin with pimples as a youngster. my nose would have been pretty if i had a nose job. my hair was my security blanket. after the twins were born and one disaster came after the other, i said screw it and chopped it off. something happened. i still felt like shit but it took a weight off. can’t really explain it but it helped. people noticed me and not the hair. i thought i would have freaked out but i didn’t. and, get this, people said i looked thinner cause the layers framed my face. you would look great with a layered blunt cut around your face, like scully on xfiles. second, go to a daily exercise class. it sounds like you can afford it. don’t go to one for skinnies, go to something like, oh crap, what is it that they advertise for normal sized people. you can’t do it at home, you have to go out and talk to others and be with others. and learn to accept what you are physically and emotionally. some people can change, most can’t. is it that much of a bad thing if you don’t change? and i do hope who ever is sick is made comfortable. hope that’s not why you are depressed (therapy and drugs do help).
Brenda says
First, I have to say this is the first time I’ve ever written to any radio or TV show, but I had to this time. I love listening to Whatever. I have flexible work hours, but always love it when I leave work at 5 so that I can listen to you. Jennifer, just this past weekend I was having a discussion with my seven year old son because he was complaining that he didn’t have an XBox 360 like his one friend has. I was trying to explain to him that he has a Playstation 1 and 2, Nintendo DS and that he has a trampoline and water slide, etc, and that he should feel lucky to have what he does have instead of worrying about what he doesn’t have. I told him that people who have a lot of money have the same kinds of problems we do. Just having money doesn’t make you happy and satisfied. Everyone has difficulties in life, and to say they aren’t important because you have money is ridiculous. I just had to tell you that – here I am trying to explain it to a seven year old when I should have been on here explaining it to some of the listeners who have made such rude comments. Keep up the great work!
AP says
Jen if it’s the weight that’s got you down I have a great solution and it’s not a diet! I tried e-mailing at the whatever address but no one responded the one time I did send something.
Brian says
Jennifer – Stay strong! You did the right thing by talking to someone who you can disucss this personal business with.
We all have stress, regardless of our economic background, and that stress has be relieved. Wheather you allow it to or not – the stress is going to affect you, your work, and how you deal with others. It sux, but that’s the way it is. All you can is “deal” and talk to the people who are closest to you.
Take care and remember there are a lot of people who care and think you’re gorgeous – even when you feel like complete shit.
(Hug) Brian
SUE/INDIANA says
Jen, you have many many fans who care about you…..it must be hard to hold all this stuff in…when you probably want to talk about it. Take care of yourself girl….I hope things get better for you. xx
Diana in Kentucky says
so I listen to you guys every chance I get and I heard on your show people were giving you a hard time when you vent – yes, I see their comments on here already. Puh-lease, you anonymous commenting people, get over yourselves. Just bc you think Jennifer and Alexis live the high life in ivory towers so you can throw rocks at them doesn’t make it true. Jennifer and Alexis, you are two very real young women who – just like my own 27 yr old daughter – are finding your way in this world. You’re entitled to your vents (God knows at 53 I’ve had my share) and to enjoy everything you’ve worked hard to earn. I’ve learned to take each day as it comes, play the hand I’m dealt (keeping a few aces up your sleeves, of course) and tell the nay-sayers to take a flying leap!!! It works. Jennifer, you’re awesome and Alexis, I LOVE your candor. You guys ROCK.
sari says
Ah, Shannon: Obviously she cares what people think! Read 2/3 of her previous blogs and listen to the show more closely.
Christine says
Just wanted to make sure you got my book recommendation – it will be a great laugh for you AND I think it might help with your funk. “Such a Pretty Fat” by Jen Lancaster. You can also catch her earlier works – “Bitter is the New Black” and “Bright Lights, Big Ass”. Hope you feel better soon .
Cara says
Jennifer, you really are the package deal (like SL said)! I love what you add to the show, because you come across as an emotionally balanced person with both highs and lows. Alexis? Not so much. I KNOW she is talented and extremely generous but she seems to be in such a dark place most of the time. I think a lot of the haters posting nasty blog comments continue to listen to the show and read the blogs because they feed off Alexis’ negative energy. Thanks for YOUR positive outlook and hang in there!! XO
Shiloh says
I love both your blogs and reading the comments. Jen-maybe you could start your blogs out with ‘Dear Diary,’ ??
hardboiledegg says
Please stop drinking diet soda drink only carbonated water if you want the bubbly drink a lemon lime flavored but not artificially sweetened carbonated water I think those artificial sweeteners are the problem honestly try this . I only occasionally drink one at work I hate t– the machine wants one dollar — I even of late have been selecting a V-8 cheaper . 85 cents a few more calories but HEALTHIER and it is more of a snack I feel better afterwords hope this helps
Irrelevant says
You got good advice from a caller about how to deal with weight issues (aka STAY AWAY FROM WHAT AILS YOU: if your weakness is bread, chunk it) and you totally disregarded it as if it could never happen. Face it, if you’re not willing to DO SOMETHING about your problems then quit bitching.
nantucketgal says
OK, where the hell are you? I turned the show on today and they said you had a “family emergency”, but it didn’t sound like that was really the truth. What’s up????
From the posts it seems like people are thinking your not there because of how you are feeling about how you look after the taping weeks? I’m not sure what’s going on, but in the last post where you where on the couch, you look great and p.s.,thin. So maybe not all the pics did you justice, but I think you look great and should be proud after two kids to look like you do. Love yourself, and, remember Alexis probably would love to be you with the two kids and the sweet husband.
jenny hutt says
family emergency is the truth.
LP says
Alexis said you were probably home in your jammies!

You suck loser
OBAMA-CLINTON aka leo says
I don’t want to damage my tough guy image with this comment, but I missed you Wednesday. Although Chrissy and Paulie did a good job, no one does it like you.
John says
Alot of people are thinking about you and sending love, myself included, during your difficult time.
Bearzimages.com says
Hi Jennifer come back soon, please! Without you the show is like a one legged tap dancer in a hail storm!
Non Blogger says
You kept talking about it on the show so I had to look. Hey we all have problems, who cares how much money you have//or don’t. Everyone is in the same boat just on different levels. So with that said good luck with your problem, probably your Mom’s back. Oh and I did miss you today, Alexis and Chrissy were good, but not like you and Alexis, you are a team and are great, now go to sleep and stop reading your blogs.
nantucketgal says
I’m sorry I was wrong and it is a family emergency, it just sounded like you could put finger quotes around that phrase, and your last post sounded so ominous.
Hurry back, it’ not the same without you!!!!!!
Lori says
(((Jennifer))) Hugs to you again. I hope the family emergency gets resolved soon. We missed you today!
ws says
come back jennifer.. come back.. more blogs..
Tedde - Julie says
Missed you today Jennifer, I hope everything is ok. Keep the faith! XOXO
Sean Milton says
What kind of stuff can’t you talk about on-air? It seems like you ladies speak about everything.
Carol in California says
Jennifer:
I read your June 10th life lessons and would like to say that we should all be thankful for the many things that we have in our life. Our friends, family, job, goals, and even life lessons. All of those things make us who we are and what we will become. My mom has Alzheimer’s disease and I am her M-F caregiver. I will be 50 years old soon, and I don’t really think that we can ever “get it together”. Life gives us many challenges, some more difficult than others. We can organize, manage, live/work the best that we can, but sometimes a wrench is thrown into the picture, something that is unexpected and more difficult than anyone could possibly ever imagine. So, count your blessings, be thankful for those that you know and those that have come into your life. I would trade being an entertainer and having a not so easy day at the office for that of a caregiver any day.
laura m. says
hope everything is ok. not the same show without you. you two are a team!
martin and lewis, laverne and shirley,
lucy and desi, howard and robin, peat and repeat, etc. etc….
Lynne says
Jennifer, Missed you so much yesterday. No offense Chrissie, good fill in, but Alexis without Jennifer is like toast without butta! I hope things get better very soon. Remember your not alone, with the exception of a few who aren’t worth your time…we all love you! Hugs!
corn woman says
i heart you jenny hutt!
James Taylor.... says
Except you have 1000000000 friends (not “a” friend). I hope whatever is troubling you evaporates soon. With lots of love and hugs…
Cat says
Jennifer, don’t feel bad about feeling bad, it happens to everybody and some time or another on some level. Just know that it will pass and if you’re still feeling out of sorts longer than you think is normal, get some help.
Love ya…
linda says
jennifer,
I know the feeling
🙁
Don’t feel too bad…
I was making dinner..the dinner included rice..well i was tired fell asleep and guess what/
?/
my damn rice dinner is now a rice paste dinner boo hoo hoo..now that is something to cry about ain’t it?
laugh and be happy i have a bit ass i always try to think of ways not to eat and make my ass bigger guess what?
I still eat peppermint patties lol 🙂
Janette says
So sorry about your mom. I don’t even get to listen to your show since I don’t have Sirius, but thank goodness I found your website. I laugh just reading the written summaries of the show. You do a really great job as an “entertainer.” Each day I read your blog, but this is my first time to read the comments. Some people are so cruel. I don’t think I’ll read the comments again. I’ll stick to just the blogs.
karen says
Jenny,Jenny,Jenny: So sorry to hear about your mom, and you all will be in my thoughts and prayers. For some of us you have become an extended almost-family. We know all about Brian-he’s-so-great, and Stacey, Keithy, all the kids and your mom and dad. So we look forward to the show and ‘whatever’ is currently going on. However, PLEASE take all the time you need to be with your mom! Right now that’s the priority. No one ever knows how much time there is. Just look at Tim Russert. Those who care about you will be happy to have you live, home or in studio, when you feel able, and on tape, or the ‘Alexis and Whomever Show’ when you don’t. My guess is that, in spite of Alexis’s tough-guy facade, she is supporting you 100%. And so are most of your listeners. Hang in and hang on.
Nicki says
So sorry to hear about your mother. Stay strong and do things for yourself that make you the happiest…do activities with your kids, spend time with close friends and most of all, keep working…your great to listen to. Love ya Jennifer!
Julie says
I am so sorry to hear that Dear Bunny is so ill. I always enjoyed hearing about her and seeing her pictures. I thought it was sweet when you called her “Mommy”. Try to be strong for your family, Jenifer and if you need a shoulder to lean on…you have Alexis. Please keep us posted. xxx
Finbar says
Hang in there Jen, with the stuff you can and can’t talk about. Live in the moment. You are a breath of fresh air to a lot of people.
sarajo says
Don’t worry Jennifer – everything will be OK. You’re great & gorgeous just the way you are. Stop trying to be Alexis – be yourself and be happy. We’ve got your back.
Lori says
(((Jennifer))) Hugs to you.
susan says
God, you really need to get a life. All you do is complaint – and about what….you have a great job – have a great life…you don’t have to worry about money…You need to get that silver spoon out of your mouth and really see what you have. Stop trying to be like Alexis – it’s not going to happen…Stop trying to be something you’re not….try being yourself…whatever that is…and run with it. Remember there are people in this world who can’t take the time to always say “Love me”, “tell me how great I am” “tell me I’m pretty.” We have to work – we have to worry about money – we have to worry about gas – God, sometime I wish you could just hear yourself….you’re not that great…..
Ladymissgailo says
Jennifa, I’d say “give yourself a break” instead of “get it together” (although brotherly advice is so nice to have)
You are fine. Eat what you want but move the ass a tad more. Your body will feel great, and so will your mind :).
Wendy says
Jennifer – Hope things clear up for you soon and that you can focus on the good stuff. Your eating habits may be more of a concern now because you are stressed so perhaps it is not the best time to even contemplate dieting of some sort. Totally love you and the show (and Alexis too!). Hang in there 🙂
Suzanna says
I love you guys but the shows you have done recently have been quite boring. I hope you are feeling better soon but let’s have some laughs please or I’m out of here. Take care.
b says
you need a “pick-me-up” . . . get a new hairstyle, buy some colorful clothes, have a spa day – make YOURSELF feel better! Stop worrying about what everyone else thinks about you and your appearance – not everyone needs to be or can be a size 2,4,6 . . . quit trying and enjoy the body you have! All things in moderation and you’ll be fine – Enjoy LIFE!
Ladymissgailo says
Oh AND…you look tiny in those pics of you on the couch.
Donna in AZ says
i’m sorry you are not feeling good. i am grateful that you share what you can about your life because sometimes i feel the same way about my body, eating, etc. it’s nice to know i’m not alone with having negative thoughts. have you tried meditation? that sometimes helps me. i hope you feel better!
julieAZ says
Jennifer, it’s ok to have problems like everyone else and those that don’t have money (like me, but the point is it doesn’t matter) complain about all their problems too. Money isn’t everything and everyone can have problems. We (the listeners) do not know every facet of your personal life just from your radio show and blogs. So, I think that people like Susan must be that miserable with their lives that they feel they must say something negative because it makes them feel vindicated. GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEADS, FOLKS…WEALTHY PEOPLE HAVE PERSONAL PROBLEMS TOO. MONEY ISN’T EVERYTHING. Just because they may not have to worry about how to pay the bills does not mean they can’t be worried about other non-monetary things. Hang in Jen, I went through a holy hell last year and I made it. You will too.
Mary says
Sounds like what you can’t discuss is someones illness (that’s usually the case). If so – I am sorry that someone you love may be sick – but this happens to all of us – we have sick friends/family members – I just had a death in my family – things happen and it’s heartbreaking. However – gratitude may be something that can help you. Do you make a gratitude list every day? Fill up a long sheet of paper every morning of all that you have to be grateful for – it can shift your focus away from what you don’t have to what you DO have. Remember too – you have kids who have health insurance – many families don’t and live in fear of their kids getting sick, you aren’t worried about losing your home due to financial problems, you can put food on the table, etc… Try being someone who works 40 hours a week (or more) at some crap job, while worrying about paying a mortgage, leaving kids at home alone after school, having no health insurance etc… people, I’ve found, live with extraordinary pressure and worry that those who come from more privledged backgrounds can’t imagaine. It’s not to dismiss YOUR pain – but rather to put it into perspective.
susy says
Seriously, though: what the H are you complaining about? Give us all a break. Everyone’s got it rough. Your “crappy” place is NOTHING compared to where some are. Enough, already.
Sarah N. says
I think you need to a new hairstyle as well, maybe that will help you look at yourself differently. You are a beautiful woman, and although you are not 25 you are still young, have a hot husband and two kids that I can only imagine are gorgeous as well.. Stop staring in the mirror and attacking yourself. You have more good than bad- promise.
Also, what bad press photo? Let me judge it, because I bet you look great!
Take care

LLJ says
Jennifer – Don’t pay attention to Susan. Her comments just show that she is a b*cth; it is no reflection on you.
jenny hutt says
of course i know that i have plenty to be thankful for…but it doesn’t mean i cannot have troubles…why is it when i vent or express something not happy go lucky people freak out! i’m not saying poor me i’m the only person with issues…im just saying right now i am feeling shitty…not saying my life is better/worse than anyone else’s…i am certain in some ways it’s way better than others and in other ways way worse. isn’t it ok to share when i’m feeling bad?! btw i think a gratitude list a wonderful idea for everyone!
xxx
Decembergal says
Jennifer, ignore the rude comments. I think it is fine to share when you are not feeling good or going through something. You are human like everyone else. It is good you can express your feelings on air. Hugs to you and hope all gets better real soon.
Cara says
I agree: the shows lately have seem tired and slow. You guys need some new energy. Producer shake-up? Just seems like the same old stuff. WAY TOO MUCH “Paulie.” He’s a bore. Move on!
Steph in ATL says
Hey Jen, hope you get out of your funk. Apparently you didn’t get the memo, you know, the one where famous/rich people aren’t allowed to have problems. I see people write into Rosie’s blog about her when she’s in a funk, saying “oh poor you you’re rich you should be happy.” I just have to say, I know everyone has problems, it’s just having money sometimes makes it not quite as devastating as it could be, anyway, I digress. My main reason in writing to you was to ask if you’d heard of Twitter? It’s really kind of cool and thought you might want to check it out. It’s a neat way of keeping in touch with people and letting them know what you’re up to during the day. I follow the RossBlog and he just found out about it. It’s something you could add to the website, if you like it. Well hope things are better for you soon.
Mica says
When I find myself overwhelmed with ‘whatever’, I just take a deep breath and put it all in perspective. Step back a little, almost away from yourself and it might not be that bad. I don’t know what bothers you but that seems to help me, sometimes 😉
xoxo
Mica
Step says
Hang in there Jennifer! Think of how far you have come as an “entertainer” You are great on the show and I like hearing you wade through the tides of life like all of us do. You are entitled to your feelings and time to work things out in your head just like all of us. Share when you can and we will still listen.
duffy says
Jennifer, thank you for sharing this. Even if you can’t talk about it on air, or in the open, it’s good to hear that you are such a grounded person, that things get to you. You really mean a lot to so many people, just remember that everyone will fully support you and try to do whatever it takes to make you feel better when you actually can talk about this stuff. Until then, though, know we love you and want the world for you!
susan and susy - which is obviously the same person says
here’s some advice I gave another stupid bitch – take a razor to the wrist and remember to cut vertically.
Why does everyone assume that Jennifer is wealthy in the first damn place? Just because she’s on the radio with Martha Stewart’s daughter? Holy shit. So her dad has a high profile career, does that really make her rich? My family has money but that doesn’t mean I don’t have to carry my own weight or am entitled to just dick off and draw a check from the parents. Obviously jealousy is a big issue for some of these listeners, if it bothers you so damn much that someone you listen to on the radio “seems” to have a better life than you, then fucking quit listening. It’s that simple but apparently SO ARE YOU. So let’s say that Jennifer Hutt is loaded, where does that exempt her from having problems? So let’s take a poor person, are they exempt from having HAPPY days since all they do is piss and moan about their problems all day? Can they have a happy day without people saying “I swear, you poor people think you’re something having a good day, all you do is smile and laugh, why can’t you suck butt like the rest of us?” yes people, that’s how stupid and juvenile you sound when you talk to Jennifer. So please kill yourself or just stay off this blog motherfuckers.

Yeah believe me we ALL suffer bad stuffs…I know it ALL too well. So what if you eat when you are stressed — WHATEVER! Some people smoke, drink, do drugs…we’re all not perfect – just do what you gotta do to get thru it — you know what they say, “THIS TOO SHALL PASS”!
laura m. says
i’m sorry jennifer you’re going through something. without knowing what it is, if it is an illness of a loved one, there is nothing harder, and i can’t fathom people chosing the need to set you straight when all you’ve done is reached out. wish i could give you some laughs like you’ve given me when i’ve needed it, can’t wait to hear all about the “secret tv show.”
Sandy/Scottsdale says
Jen: You CONSTANTLY entertain me. You are an entertainer. And thank you for doing that. I hate bad weeks – ruts too – but you will be out of it soon. You hae a daily show. So you live in the moment. That’s what we all tune in to listen to each day. Thank you for that. BEST to you.
Cecelia says
Hi Jennifer,
I always read the blogs because I don’t like the radio show anymore. There was too much talk about Paulie, etc. Sorry you are in a crappy place. The country is in a really crappy place as well. I think you should consider cutting your hair — just a few inches. And, why is it that the thinner Alexis gets, the more she bakes? She isn’t looking well at all. She really is manic.
s in ohio says
your true loyal listeners love you (both!) just the way you are and know that just like the rest of us, that includes good days and bad, perky-cheerful-oh-so-bubbly-jennifer days, and meanie-jennifer-cuts-everyone-off-and-hangs-up-on-them days. We appreciate all that you DO share and no one has any business trying to judge for themselves how minor or severe they imagine your own personal concerns or crises to be in comparison to their own. Just keep doing what you are doing, and I will keep on listening!
Arkebe says
Hey Jenny:
You go girl. Yes it doesn’t matter what we have as far as money, etc. We are all human beings and everyone has their own kind of problems rich/poor it doesn’t matter. Feeling and emotions are the same in everyone weather we have more money or not. We are all humans. Hang in there!!!!
Sarah N. says
Eh… shouldn’t comments like “susan and susy – which is obviously the same person” be deleted? There are limits to freedom of expression especially when they out-right, sickingly rude!
Jennifer says
Maybe you’d like this book, Jennifer: https://www.amazon.com/Making-Peace-Food-Susan-Kano/dp/006096328X/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1213126710&sr=8-1
sarajo says
i agree with Cara – too much Paulie/Chrissy…. ZZZZZZZZ
Tedde - Julie says
Jennifer girl,
We all have things that we can not talk about in our personal lives and that is fine. but if you really want to let it out you need to find a shrink that you can talk to to clear your head. Sometimes all it takes is talking to a stranger and getting your feelings off your chest to see things clearly and feel better. Thinking of you XOXO
Erica from Ohio says
Jennifer, if you don’t consider yourself an “entertainer” then what would you call what you do for us “listeners” each day. I’m pretty sure it’s entertainment! Don’t be so hard on yourself…we all have bad times. Just be glad you don’t work in an office setting (like I do) because you really have to control your thoughts and feelings if you want to keep you job. Love ya!!
I'm tired... says
of Chrissy. I thought the show was renamed “Whatever with Alexis & Jennifer & Chrissy” a couple of weeks ago. Better watch out girls, she might end up with top billing!
Robin (Belfast, Maine) says
I hope you are feeling better real soon. I wish only the best for you.
Krissy says
Hey Jenny-
Hope things sort themselves out- actually, they always do! Hang in there. You are lucky to have an amazing family and friends to be there for you.
Don’t feel bad about your eating too much! If there is any sort of fruit or vegetable that you love, try to grab that next time you just feel like eating. Seriously, fresh berries are like candy to me! Hope I don’t sound to much like Alexis 😛
Love ya!
amyrabuf says
Jennifer, Susan is jealous of you and by the way she can’t spell. Life is very difficult. We all have those days or weeks that we feel bad. I know because I do and I have a lot of patients that are way off then me. Amy
designer*emilie says
did the “crappy” stuff occur before or after being on the radio?
Just saying..... says
It’s annoying when someone keeps talking about something they can’t talk about. What’s the point?
Nicole says
You guys are great and I love hearing about your lives–good or bad. But I am soooooo tired of Chrissy and Paulie. I can appreciate that you two have a relationship with them, but please keep it seperate from the show.
gigi says
jen, why be something you aren’t? You say it’s okay that you aren’t the skinny model on the beach, but then you get upset about it? Go to a shrink and get to the bottom of the issue and not put band-aids on the symptons, right? And frankly, your bone structure is totally different than Alexis, you will NEVER be that thin unless you a) starve and b) work out non-stop and then what? You’ll feel sick and look sick. You LOOK healthy, that should be enough! And your hair is fine for the love of God. Long hair is SEXY!!
Tedde - Julie says
Chrissy and even Paulie are a great addition to the show, they add a lot more levels of conversation. Some people don’t know a good thing when they hear it!
Amie says
Jen-
I love you and I would TOTALLY sleep with you (if I were gay) Ha ha.. hope I at least made you smile.. this to shall pass.. annoying but true advice
bernadette says
Go for a run- it clears the mind and soothes the soul!
Sonja says
To susan and susy – which is obviously the same person said… Hilarious and well said. My thoughts exactly!
To Jen
I hope time will heal your pain. My thoughts are with you and you will get through this. When you are able to talk about it, we will be here to listen. Best wishes on a speedy recovery of “whatever” issue it may be. Stay strong.
Raquel says
You are an amazing women. Vent all you want about “whatever.”
Jenny says
Jen, we all have a right to our issues. No matter where we are in our lives (poor, rich, fat, thin) there are things that bother us and sometimes consume us. We should be able to talk about them to whomever we want without being attacked.
Maroe says
(Shame on those who take every opportunity to mention other people’s financial situation and use it against them in one way or another. Tacky, at best.) JENNIFER: Sorry to hear you are swimming in rough waters at the moment. Keep moving with the current and you will stay afloat and if you need a box of doughnuts to help you do this so be it! Like another poster said: this too shall pass (this always makes me think of kidney stones.) I disagree with the poster who said you are trying to be like Alexis. You may be concerned about your weight but you also seem to have a strong sense of yourself most of the time (anxiety and neuroses aside) You may not be at your ideal weight but Alexis is definitely NOT at hers either. She should eat a few of her own confections every now and then.
G says
Jen, cheer up! You ARE an entertainer — you entertain me w/all your hilarious musings on my drive home! You have so, so much to be happy about but everyone is entitled to have the blues. Give it a week, then get over it! Best of luck with the “things thou shalt not speak of.” BTW, I love your hair!!
CREEPY SHANE says
you rule, don’t let these sluts get you down!
la 1 says
so.. its a bummer that im late to this forum.. i happen to be going thru the same thing and am a very public entertainer. my advice is to go with it.. dont judge yourself too harshly if you’re feeling like shit and eating a lot.. the only way out is thru so.. know that you’re in this space.. accept it and know that it will pass when you’re ready for it to. forcing it or taking advice like “just deal with it and move on” is not real. i say, embrace.. wear some sweats.. dont judge and before you know it- it will pass.
frances says
Jennifer, You have a great education. It seems to me that playing second fiddle to Alexis is lowering your self esteem. For goodness sake you are a lawyer!!! You are more accomplished in your personal life, and she is in her being skinny-healthy life. I think most people would chose your life. Maybe you should do a more intelligent yet funny show.Are people really interested in Paulie’s butt waxing?.
#1 fan says
The name of the show is WHATEVER…with Alexis and Jennifer…
Girlfriend, if you’re feeling shitting I think that qualifies as a WHATEVER! topic.
Talk about it…get it out…we all have shitty days, it’s the shitty stuff that varies between individuals…Yeah, somebody else may have something bigger, more tragic going on…but your’s is big to you and that’s all that matters…
Gratitude journal good…but doesn’t change anything, makes you appreciate the good and focus on the good for a few…
Remember…
That which does not kill us, makes us stronger.
Trisha Jones says
My goodness, I’m often surprised at how cruel these comments can be. Jennifer, listen, keep your head up… Your show gives lots of us a small escape from our daily crap, it’s nice to hear that it does the same for you too! 🙂 Take Care!!
