On the actresses' blog, which launched on Friday, viewers can read about Jenny's "Give It Up Before Summer" challenge, where the actress is chronicling her quest to remove sugar from her life.
"Cramps, crabbiness, bloated and gorging on food describe the last nine hours of my day. Wow, it's really hard when you have PMS. Part of letting go of something sweet makes me feel like I have nothing sweet in my life," Jenny blogged on Sunday. "Yes, I can look at my beautiful child and awesome husband (yes, I call him that) and know that I have sweetness living with me, but I can't necessarily have them as dessert."
Jenny, a former Playboy model and host of MTV's dating show "Singled Out," also wrote the best-selling books "Louder Than Words: A Mother's Journey in Healing Autism" and "Mother Warriors: A Nation of Parents Healing Autism Against All Odds."

GriffeyHooray for Oprah! She can see that Jenny is so much more than just her beauty and does not "Freeze frame" her from her past Playboy days. Jenny has been such an inspiration, mentor and lifeline to the parents of the 1 out of 4 children with Autism. I am looking forward to this deal happening! I'm sure she, like Oprah, will challenge us all to be better people.report abuseposted May 5, 2009 9:20 AM PDT

Carolyn KOprah has a keen talent for what America wants. They want a classy lady like Jenny who can talk from experience. People who have never had a special needs child can't possibly understand what women, like her, go through. She is a real pioneer in the fight to heal autism. If she handles her show like she has handled her son's illness she will definitely be worth listening to freport abuseposted May 5, 2009 7:44 AM PDT
