I didn’t. My boyfriend is really good about my trashy TV addiction – he watches Bridezillas marathons with me and makes jokes, ok, I really can’t complain – but he draws the line at Toddlers and Tiaras. Something about exploiting children or whatever. And usually that’s fine, I understand, but it hurt this week when I saw clips. For one, this week’s episode featured a little 4-year-old girl dressed as one of my idols, Dolly Parton. And for two, it took place in my very own hometown.
Sure, this little girl’s mom actually put some padded boobs and a padded ass on her child. But hey, it’s what she used to wear when she was a little girl in pageants, it’s family tradition! Some people might say that this is horrible parenting, or shady parenting at the very best. But I say “nay!”* As a product of the same environment**, I completely understand the cultural ties to the legendary Dolly Parton, and furthermore, I wish that I had been afforded the same opportunity***!
What did you guys think about this week’s episode?
*I don’t, you guys. That’s sarcasm.
**Yes, this hurt to write.
***I do not wish that. The head lice and my first period were enough to scar my childhood.
But what could outrageous hip-hip star Nicki Minaj and troubled but immensely talented singer Susan Boyle possibly have in common? Well, your guess is as good as mine, but that doesn’t mean that they haven’t made besties when they were both backstage for America’s Got Talent. Because they did!
The new friends’ first few items of friendship included Susan pinching Nicki’s ass because “she was fascinated by Nicki’s bum and just couldn’t take her hands off it,” Nicki teaching Susan how to rap, and Susan giving Nicki some pointers on singing.
Just because we don’t understand it doesn’t mean that we can’t find it adorable!
Ah, class picture day: unless Mom was willing to spring for a laser portrait, what was the point, anyway?
So I assume FOX’s promotional pics are supposed to (somewhat) resemble genuine class photos. But the cast of Glee isn’t exactly awkward, so—unfortunately?—these promo shots for Season 3 aren’t quite the humiliating minefield/treasure chest your senior yearbook is.
In the interest of comparison, I have included one photograph of me and my 17-year-old self’s untweezed eyebrows in the gallery. Ha! Now that’s what an embarrassing yearbook photo is supposed to look like, FOX.
See? Ask and you shall receive. Justin Timberlake, after starring in a crap ton of movies, is eeking his way back into the music scene with little cameos here and there, rapping craziness with Jimmy Fallon, and now he’s taken a full stage in New York City, where he performed this spectacular version (except all the crazy bitches ‘woo!’-ing – I hate that crap when I go to a concert) of ‘Cry Me a River.’ He also did a special rendition of ‘Like I Love You.’ OK, here:
This one wasn’t nearly as awesome as ‘Cry Me a River,’ and not only because I think of the lovely Britney Spears when I hear it, either. ‘Cry Me a River’ is just some GOOD JAMS.
I would like to tell you that the term “retard” is very offensive to me. I am not offended because I ASSUME it would offend someone who has mental retardation. I am offened on how the word came to...
I am not offended that Rosie has a fear or anxiety of LP. I feel that when someone knows very little about things and or people they tend to be anxious. Think about it if you had never been around someone...
