...that you're promoting your book, working on The View and working on your Lifetime sitcom Sherri, how do you manage? Elisabeth Hasselbeck said, "Sherri, you're going to have a lot of spinning plates. Just make sure your child is not one of them." My first assignment on this earth is being a mother, so if anything conflicts with that or takes away from it, I say no, which is why I'm not on Dancing with the Stars learning the quickstep...

And since Rice has a loving wife and a child about the same age as Shelton's when she died, the viewer fully expects them to be Shelton's next target. (SPOILER ALERT: They...
...very little music. It's all drum and Beyoncé's voice." Kara Shall, communications director of Baby Loves Disco, agrees. "Young children love songs with good rhythm and repetition, and 'Single Ladies' certainly has both," says Shall, whose company once a month in 21 cities turns bars into child-proof discos. (She also notes that her own children, ages 5 and 2, are big fans of the Beyoncé song...
