Why We're Crushing on The Conversation's Amanda de Cadenet

You may not know British TV personality and photographer Amanda de Cadenet yet, but we promise you she's someone you'd want to sit down and have a chat with.

You may not know British TV personality and photographer Amanda de Cadenet yet, but we promise you she's someone you'd want to sit down and have a chat with. Which is exactly what she's doing with a plethora of high-profile women (many of whom are her friends) for her new show The Conversation With Amanda de Cadenet. Coproduced by Demi Moore and Amanda, The Conversation is a new Lifetime series premiering April 26 that features intimate, one-on-one interviews between Amanda and various female celebrities, politicians, and musicians on the issues women care about. It's also sprinkled with "real" women on the street answering similar questions.

This week we were lucky enough to chat with Amanda over the phone, and we can't wait to share her musings on her personal relationships and life challenges, her thoughts on hot topics like Fifty Shades of Grey, and what it was like interviewing some of today's most famous and influential women on the tough topics we all can relate to. But first off, who is Amanda de Cadenet and what makes her so cool? Here are six things to know:

  • Cool runs in the family. Her mom was a model and her dad is a race car driver.
  • She's a motorcycle mama! Her dad taught her how to ride when she was only 6 years old, and her favored mode of transportation today is her Ducati.
  • At only 14, she became the host of two TV shows in the UK: The Word and Breakfast.
  • After her TV gigs, she decided photography was her passion, and she became the youngest woman to shoot a Vogue cover. She's also shot for magazines like Rolling Stone and Vanity Fair, in addition to ad campaigns for Converse, Roxy, and Absolut.
  • She's got a thing for rockers! Her first husband was Duran Duran bassist John Taylor, and her current hubby is Strokes guitarist Nick Valensi.
  • The 39-year-old mom has 5-year-old twins with Nick and a 19-year-old daughter from her first marriage.

With many of these intimate discussions taking place on the couch in her own LA home, Amanda isn't afraid to get real about everything from sex positions to body image with such stars as Jane Fonda, Zoe Saldana, Sarah Silverman, Gwyneth Paltrow, Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, Eva Longoria, Gabby Sidibe, and many more. And Amanda is proud of her ladies, telling us that they all make great role models. She said, "They're kind women. They're very compassionate. They're very down-to-earth, and they are truly women's women. You know how people say, 'She's not a women's woman'? These woman are."

Stay tuned for more of our interview with Amanda, and check out a preview of The Conversation below!

Mitt Romney Called Out on "Working Mom" Flip Flop

Last week's heated back-and-forth between Mitt Romney's wife Ann Romney and Hilary Rosen over whether or not Ann should be the voice of "working moms" due to her stay-at-home mom past has come back to bite Mitt in the butt.

Last week's heated back-and-forth between Mitt Romney's wife Ann Romney and Hilary Rosen over whether or not Ann should be the voice of "working moms" due to her stay-at-home mom past has come back to bite Mitt in the butt.

In defense of Hilary's comment that Ann "has actually never worked a day in her life," Mitt has responded with "All moms are working moms." It sounds innocent enough, but this is yet again another example of Mitt Romney flip flopping on a women's issue. In January, Mitt said this in regards to reforming Massachusetts' welfare program:

"I wanted to increase the work requirement. I said, for instance, that even if you have a child 2 years of age, you need to go to work. And people said, 'Well, that's heartless.' And I said, 'No, no, I'm willing to spend more giving day care to allow those parents to go back to work. It'll cost the state more providing that day care, but I want the individuals to have the dignity of work.'"

Well, a group of House Democrats are calling Mitt out for his most recent comment that being a mom qualifies as a job with the Women's Option to Raise Kids (WORK) Act, which would allow low-income mothers with children 3 and under to stay at home and continue receiving benefits. Because currently, raising children doesn't meet the working requirement needed to receive benefits from the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families program.

"Mitt Romney was for forcing mothers into the workforce before he decided that 'all moms are working moms,'" says Rep. Pete Stark of California, one of the democrats behind the WORK Act. "I think we should take Mr. Romney at his most recent word and change our federal laws to recognize the importance and legitimacy of raising young children."

Two nights ago, The Daily Show addressed Mitt's conflicting statements with a video clip of his above speech. After the jump, watch Jon Stewart point out Mitt's mom problem!
