On Tuesday night's episode of E!'s new reality TV series "Just Jillian," the former "Biggest Loser" trainer and health and fitness guru Jillian Michaels doubled up on family and business when she brought her 5-year-old daughter Lukensia (Lu) along on a trip to New York City - or as Michaels referred to it as "trip from hell."
Nichole Dropped the Ball
Michael's personal assistant forgot to book a ticket for little Lu on the flight out to New York City, which almost caused a meltdown at the airport. After a mini-freak out, Michaels was able to obtain a ticket for her daughter and everyone, including Nichole, Michaels' hairdresser Chloe and her business partner Giancarlo, arrived in one piece, but Nichole made a second mistake when booking Michael's hotel room. Michaels specifically requested a room above the 34th floor so that Lu could have a view of the NYC skyline, but the room Nichole booked was well below the floor that Michaels requested. "This is a moment where I need to appreciate how lucky I am," Michaels told Nichole as she tried to avoid another meltdown.
Michaels Snagged a Book Deal
One of Michaels' many meetings during her business trip was with book publisher Judith Regan to pitch her new book, a follow-up to her New York Times best-seller "Master Your Metabolism" with a focus on pregnancy. During her meeting, Michaels screened phone calls and text messages from her partner Heidi, who was with their 3-year-old son Phoenix in the hospital back home because of an issue with his tonsils. But she sold her idea, and Regan agreed to publish it and asked if Michaels planned on having more children. "My phone's ringing in my pocket, I'm wondering if my 3-year old is dead," Michaels said, laughing. "So no, thank you for inquiring."
Michaels Took On Kindergarten Homework
Heidi allowed Michaels to take Lu along on the NYC trip under a few conditions - one being that Michaels would make sure Lu completed her homework assignments. Halfway through the trip, Michaels finally remembered to tackle the task, but flubbed the first assignment in which Lu was asked to match capital letters with their lowercase versions. After skimming through the pages of her homework packet, Michaels asked Lu, "What, are you in college?"
Michaels Pulled Out Her "Bazooka"
Michaels was upset after she received a box of pants from her athletic clothing line Impact by Jillian Michaels for Kmart and saw "Pepto-Bismol" pink details and polyester pants. Frustrated that the clothes are not living up to her brand, she and Giancarlo met with the company that creates the clothes for her in order to sell to Kmart and Giancarlo tried to calm Michaels down as she went on an expletive-filled tirade about her expectations. "Hey don't f--k with me," Michaels warned. "Stop f--king with me or I'm gonna pull out the bazooka."
