Mother Etheridge

Rocker/survivor Melissa Etheridge and her partner Tammy Lynn Michaels took their tiny twins, Johnnie Rose and Miller Steven out for a stroll on tony Montana Avenue in Santa Monica on Thursday.

The twins, conceived through an anonymous sperm donor, were born in October. Etheridge has two children with former partner Julie Cypher, who conceived with sperm provided by rock legend David Crosby.

61. OK - Just a quick note to the people who take the bible and pick and choose want they want to believe and live by.

How many husbands have killed their wives for sleeping in their bed while they are on their monthly cycle?

How many parents have murdered their children for calling them a bad name?

Those sins are punishable by death?

I guess that if we all took the bible word for word then we would have more wives and children killed and more people in the prison system.

64. Im really glad there are so many opinions being brought forth over this little tiny photo.oh my....shows the powers that be.but in all reality there needs to be a balance between good and bad, heck at least the comments are not so much to the negative as lets say george bush(the shrub). so lets all count our lucky stars those of us with private lives anyway and know that there is a price to fame and that nothing ia free.Melissa and Tammy have worked very hard in life as well as with their careers and both deserve a high five for having to deal with the continual AS THE STOMACH TURNS blog of life...BE STRONG,SPEAK TRUE AND SPREAD THE PEACE ! oh ya and melissa i have told you this before,THE BEST REVENGE IN LIFE IS TO LIVE WELL......

65. Its nice to see that women can also get trapped by gold diggers also!

Etheridge looks like Tammys mom and had just went through a breakup when the actor,Tammy show canceled and with a very poor background comes up to ask rich Etheridge out!!,,

Tammy worked at gay bars and of course knew who ETHERIDGE WAS!...Tammy talks alot about enough food! nice home..etc...she was trying to get pregant before the cancer scare! Melissa said she did the wedding thing...to give that to Tammy!!

Of course she wanted to get that huge child support nest egg!! Tammy has said many times...COMING OUT WOULD RUIN ME FOR PARTS!!..I CAME OUT WITH MELISSA!...I SMELL A BREAKUP SETTLEMENT WITH A GREAT PAYOFF FOR TAMMY!!........everything she was on tv had a short life!

If she hadnt had bagged Etheridge she would be starving back home as before! a fly by in the wind actor!!
Nobody cares about her life!! its Melissa and her famous friends are really melissas friends ...before her!!.wake up and be grateful your able to hang on the coat tails of Melissa life,fame and friends be in her famous circle!

Melissa would have a right to post negative,not Tammy shes a joke going along for the ride!...she the yoko of Melissa!!...

66. Orin. Quite simply, you're a joke. Truth out shines big mouths like you. Tammy has more to offer with just a smile than I'm sure you do with every fiber of your being. Now go pour yourself another drink and hush up.

67. Jeanie- I am sorry but if you meant your comments to come off as 'helpful' or as a 'warning out of love' as you claim, they are not. Your comments are coming off as condecending and NO ONE is any better than anyone else on this earth of ours.

To #65 (Orin Stewart) - Read the story in the link below. This is the real Tammy Etheridge. There was no media present at any of the meetings, just a very kind person and a child, my child. When you say "nobody cares about her life" you could not be more wrong. Many, including my daughter and myself wish Tammy, Melissa and their family all the happiness and peace that they truly deserve.

68. Ok, I'm back ... The liberals at TMZ locked me out, yesterday so I couldn't say anything. I just wanted to add one more thing... If you end up going to hell, it won't be because you're gay, it will be because you rejected Jesus' offer of atonement for your sins. We cannot atone for our own sins. That is why Jesus came to earth and paid the price for all the sins of all mankind. But you need to admit that you are a sinner and confess them to God and believe in His Son ! He took on all of your sins, but you need to acknowledge them and repent of them, as well. He didn't die in vain. He rose from the dead !!! That should make you shout for joy !!! If you reject that truth, then you reject God's only means of salvation. Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." I won't quote any more Bible verses at you. I wish you all God's best.

69. Sorry if the truth hurts!..Im sure there are alot of women out there who love to stalk and care about another gay women!...so carry on!!

Tammy is trying to pretend thats she something she isnt!!.Rosey,Ellen,Etheridge have all had long been popular and successful...Tammy blogs some of the nasty...breastmilk!!..F..this trash blogs!..Rosie blogs!...me too!!...If I were Julie Cypher I would copy all those nasty blogs she puts out and go to court to make sure she isnt parenting my children alone!!!..she is the worse mouthed role model for children ..even a pizza means more to her fat butt then her sons neck!!!

Posted at 2:46PM on Feb 21st 2007 by Orin Stewart

70. I read your site on Tammy and of course anyone would be wonderful to a make a wish child! IM NOT SAYING SHES MEAN!!...IM SAYING SHE A ATTENTION HOG THAT HANGS ON ETHERIDGE TO GET IT!!

but her wish was to meet Etheridge and ask about Melissas life not...Tammy!!

Tammy is posting blogs with foul words and nasty things to get attention!..she has said things about cats liking breast milk? and uses bad words!

her telling her boss she likes pussy more then he does and taking photos of her private parts!...this is a decent mother?..

if a guy posted this about his privates and was someones stepfather and father with his kid in a ball in a stroller,saying well hes heavy!! he would be on dateline exposed!! IN HANDCUFFS!!
becouse shes a women its ok to post disgusting shocking things to get attention!!..It wouldnt be funny or ok if it was a man and father taliking about loving pussy!

when she has step kids old enough to get wind of all that!..her image she is putting out is that of a poor white trashy nasty tag-along to the stars! SHES DOING THAT TO HERSELF!!!

Im sure when your daughter came ,Tammy ran over..First..TO GET A HUG!!
she a attention hog,then screams to get more attention when she gets its it!!

Rosey and Ellen partners are very decent,you dont see them posting foul words and saying sexual things in public to gain the light!!

they spend their time helping different causes along with their own long time hollywood jobs away from their partners fame and fans and trying to stand in front on the red carpet!!..screaming ...they took my photo!!! ...why?...and I thought those kids belonged to Etheridge also? Tammy always refers to them as HER KIDS!!..

Rosie is straight foward and outspoken,she isnt gross and crude in public! UNLIKE TAMMY THEY HAVE OTHER AVENUES, HELPING CHILDEREN AND CAUSES!..TAMMY IS INTO THE TAMMY FOUNDATION!!..LOOK AT ME!!!..POOR ME!!..
Tammys blogs are disgusting!!..my daddy special backrub!!..on and on ..pity party!! ..attention at any cause even its for pity!!

Tammy had a few parts that sizzled out and got lucky and got Etheridge and her two nest eggs!..she IS, like that guy we use to watch on happy day?...what was his name?..is is dead?....the only fame she will get is through her nasty blogs and Melissas friends and Melissa fame and fans wanting to see her and her children!

71. ? #69

Why do you read her bog if it bothers you so much?
How is it you know her so well as to quote from you,"Tammy is trying to pretend thats she something she isnt!!."

You seem to have serious anger issues.

throwing up some red flags !! maybe they should see if Tammy or Julie as a stalker and it looks like you. And that seems like a real danger

Posted at 4:53PM on Feb 21st 2007 by FrostieOne

72. Orin, you have a serious anger issue. Please get help for that.
Breast milk is a part of every day life for mom's with babies. Accept it. It's not dirty. It's nourishment for children. Breast milk and pizza...neither one is a dirty word.
Her son's neck was just fine for the few minutes he was in the stroller. At no time was he left unattended. Both his mommies were there watching over him.
Oh and just so you know. Her vocabulary with her children does not consist of the "nasty" words as you described them. Her blog is a place where she can vent about nuts like you and speak of any other thoughts she may have. Being an (I'm assuming here) adult with very negative words to say about her, I'm sure you can very well appreciate/handle the "nasty" words she has to say/use in her blogs. If you do not appreciate her blogs, then do not read them. See how easily you can simplify your life when you take that which upsets you out of it?
It's funny how you think you can speak in a negative, nasty mouthed manner but you nix Tammy on the idea of doing it herself. Is it because you forget that she is human too? Does the idea that she is famous and not you inflame you to a point that you see her only as "something" and not "someone"?
Now again, hush up because you're only making yourself look foolish by being jealous over a woman who really can't have that much impact on your life.
I'm sorry you're so upset that Melissa chose to marry Tammy and not you. But that's reality. Sometime we just can't have what we want. (Yes, I assumed again, but you really do come off as a scorned individual who was hoping to get Melissa for yourself).
Please find some peace in your life. Life is too short to be so upset by the words of another who is not a part of your everyday life. I say this with the utmost compassion because you just seem so sad and angry.

73. Again,Im sorry if the truth is hurtful to you.

belive me if Tammy had a stalker everyone to China would know about it.
Tammy would make sure of that!

Alot of anti-gay groups use her posted blogs to back up that gays are really inmoral and perverted!! which is untrue!!!.you only see her posting those things! you can find her blogs at alot of church help groups for gays!

its not about anger its about honest truth!..I just being honest!!..you dont have to hate to be honest!

IF SHE WAS A MAN IT WOULDNT BE ACCEPTED!...she gives a gay family a dark light to the public!..her blogs are full of anger!! and nasty sexual things!

im not trying to get a invite to dinner from Tammy or a thankyou email either!

she is helping the profile of disturbed gay family!...its sad for those who try to stop that label!..

74. Being in a gay male relationship with my partner for 16 years ,I dont think I gave any praises to Etheridge in my posts,that is another gay myth...you dont want to sleep with ever gay person!!...I do sing praises for all gays that give out a moral and decent lifestlye to the straight public...and a very hard opion on those making the life style look unclean for children and lower our family units..breast milk like sex, isnt dirty unless you make it that way!....all is said ....

Posted at 6:21PM on Feb 21st 2007 by Orin Stewart

75. As for misunderstanding your anger, I can only say this to you Orin:

See how the written word can be misinterpreted and used against you when the other person misunderstands your intent?

Just something for you to think about.
