What do you get the guy that has everything for Valentine's Day? That was the question that actress Jenny McCarthy was facing as the oft-vexing holiday was fast approaching last week.

Stuck between a rock and a romantic place, and with no clue as to what to get for her partner of four years, Jim Carrey, the actress turned to the most logical place for answers to matters of the heart: She Tweeted.

"I really didn't know what to do," McCarthy tells PEOPLE, "I went on my Twitter, and I said, 'Hey guys, can you help me come up with a good gift for Jim?"

Tweet and ye shall receive. It wasn't long before the actress was inundated with suggestions. "It seemed like I looked through thousands of them," McCarthy, 37, tells PEOPLE. "There were too many strange ones to remember, but the best one was, 'Why don't you get a skywriter?' " And so the legend of the "J 'Hearts' J" was born ... almost.

McCarthy had the skywriter, all she needed was for Carrey to be looking up while her message of love was being spelled out across the clear blue Los Angeles sky, a feat that turned out to be a bit more difficult than McCarthy expected.

Jenny McCarthy a Grandmother at 37!

Jenny McCarthy has spoken of her joy as she prepares to become a grandmother.

The model has been dating actor Jim Carrey since 2005 and his daughter Jane is due to give birth in just three weeks.

McCarthy revealed to Usmagazine.com that she is thrilled at the prospect of becoming a gran at the age of 37.

She said: “I’m really excited. I think I’m gonna rock as a grandma. She called me up saying: ‘Can I take Tylenol?’ We have an awesome relationship. I consider her my daughter.

“Mother-in-laws can get annoying once you have a baby because they’re trying to tell you how to raise your baby, and I don’t like anyone telling me how to raise my baby. So I have to learn how to just stay out of it and keep my mouth shut and only give advice when needed. I think that’s what makes a cool grandma.”

Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carey on Andrew Wakefield

A Statement from Jenny McCarthy & Jim Carrey: Andrew Wakefield, Scientific Censorship, and Fourteen Monkeys

Los Angeles, February 5, 2010

Dr. Andrew Wakefield is being discredited to prevent an historic study from being published that for the first time looks at vaccinated versus unvaccinated primates and compares health outcomes, with potentially devastating consequences for vaccine makers and public health officials.

It is our most sincere belief that Dr. Wakefield and parents of children with autism around the world are being subjected to a remarkable media campaign engineered by vaccine manufacturers reporting on the retraction of a paper published in The Lancet in 1998 by Dr. Wakefield and his colleagues.

The retraction from The Lancet was a response to a ruling from England’s General Medical Council, a kangaroo court where public health officials in the pocket of vaccine makers served as judge and jury. Dr. Wakefield strenuously denies all the findings of the GMC and plans a vigorous appeal.

Despite rampant misreporting, Dr. Wakefield’s original paper regarding 12 children with severe bowel disease and autism never rendered any judgment whatsoever on whether or not vaccines cause autism, and The Lancet’s retraction gets us no closer to understanding this complex issue.

Dr. Wakefield is one of the world’s most respected and well-published gastroenterologists. He has published dozens of papers since 1998 in well-regarded peer-reviewed journals all over the world. His work documenting the bowel disease of children with autism and his exploration of novel ways to treat bowel disease has helped relieve the pain and suffering of thousands of children with autism.

For the past decade, parents in our community have been clamoring for a relatively simple scientific study that could settle the debate over the possible role of vaccines in the autism epidemic once and for all: compare children who have been vaccinated with children who have never received any vaccines and see if the rate of autism is different or the same.

Few people are aware that this extremely important work has not only begun, but that a study using an animal model has already been completed exploring this topic in great detail.

Dr. Wakefield is the co-author, along with eight other distinguished scientists from institutions like the University of Pittsburgh, the University of Kentucky, and the University of Washington, of a set of studies that explore the topic of vaccinated versus unvaccinated neurological outcomes using monkeys.

The first phase of this monkey study was published three months ago in the prestigious medical journal Neurotoxicology, and focused on the first two weeks of life when the vaccinated monkeys received a single vaccine for Hepatitis B, mimicking the U.S. vaccine schedule. The results, which you can read for yourself HERE, were disturbing. Vaccinated monkeys, unlike their unvaccinated peers, suffered the loss of many reflexes that are critical for survival.

Dr. Wakefield and his scientific colleagues are on the brink of publishing their entire study, which followed the monkeys through the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule over a multi-year period. It is our understanding that the difference in outcome for the vaccinated monkeys versus the unvaccinated controls is both stark and devastating.

There is no question that the publication of the monkey study will lend substantial credibility to the theory that over-vaccination of young children is leading to neurological damage, including autism. The fallout from the study for vaccine makers and public health officials could be severe. Having denied the possibility of the vaccine-autism connection for so long while profiting immensely from a recent boom in vaccine sales around the world, it’s no surprise that they would seek to repress this important work.

Behind the scenes, the pressure to keep the work of Dr. Wakefield and his colleagues from being published is immense, and growing every day. Medical journals take extreme risk of backlash in publishing any studies that question the safety of the vaccination program, no matter how well-designed and thorough the research might be. Neurotoxicology, a highly-respected medical journal, deserves great credit for courageously publishing the first phase of this vaccinated monkey study.

The press has been deeply misled ...
