\”Monster House,\” which dubs itself \”a home show on steroids,\” capitalizes on viewers\’ hunger for prickly reality TV shows. On each episode, Schwartz and five builders — all strangers to each other — have five days to transform a house into a family\’s dream theme — with absolutely no peeking by homeowners. Tempers flare as the team crashes spaceships through ceilings, turns fireplaces into fire-breathing Tiki gods and bursts the Three Stooges through living room walls.
Diane Shader Smith is a fearless Jewish mother, or would that be redundant? Smith, with her new, hot-selling book, \”Undressing Infidelity: Why More Wives Are Unfaithful\” has gone where very few have dared go in unmasking the myth that women don\’t stray and actually have fun while doing it.
Yael Friedman, a 53-year-old single mother, lives in the Israeli village of Arad with her 10 children. But she\’s not a typical single mother by any measure. For one thing, she gave birth to none of those children.

This mother-by-choice also has to agree to stay single, to avoid any entanglement that would distract or detract from her task.
