What Parents Need to Know
About Designer to the Stars: Kari Whitman
Parents need to know that this reality program follows the life of a celebrity interior decorator. Because viewers see both her work and personal life, there's a good deal of talk about who she finds attractive and her past dating experiences. There's also plenty of cursing, with only the worst words bleeped. Other "highlights" include a shot of Whitman driving with her knees -- her hands entirely off the wheel -- and a scene in which she wipes a dog's behind several times (viewers get an up-close look).

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about their reactions to Whitman's personality. Do you find her strong and confident or bossy and mean? Do you think you'd feel differently if she were a man? In what ways does she act stereotypically female? What does she do that goes against that stereotype? Do you think she would have gotten her own show if her clients weren't famous? Also, Whitman works even when she's wiped out by illness. Is this a good example? What's a healthy balance between work and personal life?

KARI IS A UNTALENTED WOMAN BESIDES ORDINARY AND GROSS TALKER
Hi , I just watched the episode where Kari Whitman designed Jessica Alba's parents home. I was completely dissapointed of this lady, KARI WHITMAN's gross language and doubt of her professionalism when doesnt care for the workers' health letting them paint the furniture without proper security clothing or masks and referring to that as a joke, I believe she must change her image as I just dont want to watch her program again, I think is a bad influence for children as they learn from it just how to be a nasty human being. if she were decent it wouldnt matter that she doesn't have any talent people are interested in building and some will watch her preogra...

I love her passion for animals and decor
I love watching this show! Kari has great style and her love of animals borders on my own and that is truly hard to find, therefore I have tvo'd it so I don't miss an episode. I only wish I could afford her for my own home.
