Kendall does look like Wednesday Addams! But she is also the most natural looking out of that whole family. -
Kanye West: The Most Intelligent Celebrity
alegtostandon replied to GaT's topic in Keeping Up With The Kardashians
I just don't know. I do not get it. It was as if everything was done to make those models look as unattractive as possible. They are not even standing up straight. How much creativity does it take to take a winter coat & rip the hem out of it, throw on some tights, a bodysuit and pair of knee high boots? -
I agree with you, feetcuzzyfeefee, it does look like Cushings. Mr. Tostandon developed Cushings after being diagnosed with an adrenal gland disease, Addison's, and was put on high doses of prednisone. Cushings is caused by too much of the hormone, cortisol, in your body. Cortisol regulates the way your body converts fats, carbs and protein into energy, as well as helps keep your blood pressure regulated & helps your body deal with any type of stress. Mr. Tostandon is no where near the weight of Susan, he has always been tall & thin, usually ranges between 180-190 lbs. After starting on prednisone, we went up to around 220 lbs. Most of the fat is focused on the back & neck, usually called a 'buffalo hump' and the abdomen.. That is exactly what Susan looked like. Cushings could be caused by a pituitary tumor. I wonder if they are checked for anything like this before the surgery. Mr. Tostandon lost a lot of this bloat after he was taken off of prednisone & put on hydrocortisone, which is a more natural type of steroid.

Kanye West: The Most Intelligent Celebrity

I had posted under Kylie's link yesterday. If anyone is praising these designs, then the only thing I can figure it is one of those deals that the clothing is just so outrageous, no one is to really wear them, just look at them on the models. But check out the boots Kylie is wearing, they are really strange, one toe is pointy, the other is square looking. There is a picture of Beyoncé sitting next to Kim in the above link where they refer to her as Kim's BFF. Also, you can see that not only Kim is wearing one of Kanye's "creations", North is forced to also. Kris looks horrible in the picture here . Her eyes look weird. In the picture below the one of Khloe & Kris, it looks like a group of zombies. I do not understand why someone would bring a baby to a show like this. I am sure Kanye would say to give her 'culture' but very disrespectful to others. I just do not see anything that they are wearing as being 'high fashion'. -
From what the sister said, Susan was devastated when her parents divorced and never recovered from this. Based on what I saw, it was as if mentally, Susan stopped growing at this point. It seemed to me that the events that happened before the divorce would have been more difficult to handle and they would have welcomed the peace that came to the household without dad there pulling guns on mom and beating everyone. I wonder where the dad is today. I do not remember them mentioning him in present day. I agree with what others have said about the way Susan carried her weight. I was really expecting her to be over 700 lbs. I wonder how much time had actually gone by from the time Dr. told Susan to lose 100 lbs and she actually lost it. I just will never understand how another person can sit by and watch their partner or child balloon up to over 600 lbs and still continue to buy the food for them. The mom should have been in therapy also. I could not believe it when they took the chair from the dining area of the grocery store and put into the cart. It did not look like a very sturdy chair.

So Kylie landed a modeling job, in Kanye's 'Adidas Collection' during Fashion Week. Here again, no make up (Kanye did not want anything to distract from his creative genius) and her lips look as full as they do when she claims it is all lip liner magic. Look at the toes of the brown boots she is wearing, which I assume are part of Kanye's design, one toe is pointy, the other toe has a strange squareness to it. I am not impressed at all with his 'designs', if that is even what you can call any of this. If you scroll down further, there is a caption with a video that says "Kim was seated closely between her BFF Beyoncé and Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of American Vogue." So, now Beyoncé is her BFF? Kim looks as if she is wearing one of Kanye's nightmare designs, as well as poor baby North.

S00.E03: Top Feuds, Firings and Fails
alegtostandon replied to Maharincess's topic in The Celebrity Apprentice [V]
I remember the Joan/Melissa season real well. I had always enjoyed Joan Rivers, until then. I could not get over how vicious and entitled both she and her daughter acted. This is why I never enjoy it when a competition show has family members playing. There was no way Joan would have ever accepted Melissa getting fired. I just could not get over how nasty & immature Melissa was, I really do not think anyone else has ever acted this way. I have never thought too much of Melissa Rivers after I had seen an interview with her. First, she claimed to have starred in a Beverly Hills 90210 episode. I could not think of any episode where she was the guest star, turned out it was one little part with one speaking line. If you blinked your eyes, you would have missed her. Then she continued on about how she has never used her mom to get a job or could never be accused of 'riding her coat tails' to get ahead in the business. Excuse me, then why do you use the last name 'Rivers' instead of your dads last name? That fight with Meat Loaf & Gary Busey was insane! Totally made Gary Busey look normal, which is not easy to do! -
Undercover Boss - General Discussion
alegtostandon replied to Tara Ariano's topic in Undercover Boss
There was a string of Undercover Boss on one of the channels today. I watched 2 of them, one was MasTec & the other was Oriental Trading Company. These people have to know who these people are. On the MasTec show, he was working with a woman out in the fields installing those wind turbines. She right away started crying to him about how she has fibromyalgia and due to the medication, is losing her teeth. Of course, he buys her new teeth. A girl who sorts items at Oriental Trading Company tells the CEO that her sister is in prison for 5 years so she is raising her niece, he gives her $20,000.00 to help her out. Who in the world tells a complete stranger things like this. Who really pays out all of this money to these people, the company or the network? -
Undercover Boss - General Discussion
alegtostandon replied to Tara Ariano's topic in Undercover Boss
I have not seen this episode yet, but we do have a Rocket Fizz down the street from us, wonder if he went to that one on the show, it is in Surprise, AZ. I've been in there; not too impressed. It is right next to a movie theatre & bowling alley though so may get a lot of kids in. -
I am thinking that her friends are probably all over 21...and supplying the liquor. I do understand that most 17 year olds strive to look older, but most go for a mid-20's range. Kylie looks like a woman in her 30's-40's. Makes you wonder how she is going to age.
-
I just saw the full episode...by the way Kourtney was acting, I expected to see the house torn apart with bottles strewn everywhere. There was just 2 bottles & a couple of wine glasses on the kitchen counter. Why did Khloe get all of the blame while Kim stood there giggling like the idiot she is? I was happy...and surprised...to hear Kourtney admit to Khloe that she over reacted & that Scott is responsible for himself. Has anyone else ever seen anyone in this family write their highs and lows on a piece of paper then make a sailboat out of it to float off in the wafer? I have seen them go around the table and each say their highs and lows but have never seen anyone make a sailboat. I can't remember who said it but one of them said they do this every vacation.
-
lol! Wish I could help you out here...these were cover headlines I saw when I googled"Cosmopolitan Covers". howmanywords...I saw that picture too in a magazine..in fact, Kylie made more than the cover of Cosmo this week, she is on the cover of a couple of other magazines...for her lips. Of course, she claims in each one it is make-up tricks then posts this picture which makes it so obvious she's had lip injections (I originally typed 'lip implants'....lol).The article also said that she & Tyga are very serious & she spends a lot of time at his place...when she is not busy hosting parties at their family home. Said she is known for chugging champagne from the bottle. This family is such a great role model!
-
ITA w/ you on both counts: I am shocked that Cosmo allowed a 17 year old to grace their cover. I mean, this is a magazine that many stores keep covered because of the risqué covers and headlines. But to see a 17 year old as the cover model for a magazine whose headlines are always "99 Ways to Please Your Man In Bed" or "25 Sex Moves He Secretly Wishes You Would Try", or "The Naughty Orgasm Trick Couples Love" just does not seem right to me. I use to know plenty of guys who would steal their mom's Cosmo to use in the bathroom. Now, onto those lips...No Way, No How will Kylie ever convince me that her lips are not surgically altered. The only way I will ever believe it is if she posts one of her famous Instagram pictures of her before lip make up tricks, during the make up process and after. IF and that is a BIG IF, those lips are all make up, then there is no way she is doing this herself, like she claims. I do think the boobs are due to the bra, ITA w/what Honey said about the 'ledge' that most people with implants have. But I also agree she is preparing for the implant surgery. Why, why, WHY do these people have to be everywhere we look today?! BTW: Just logged onto You Tube to see the videos grisgris mentioned, all Isaw were 'Kylie Jenner Inspired'...none of her and everything that showed her before were old pictures. I did not look at every video, but the videos I saw also had females who already had pretty plump lips to start out with. I could also see on them the outline the drew, where on Kylie, unless the pictures are photoshopped, you do not see. JMO.

carolinagirl81...Yest. 5:51 pm: carolinagirl81...not especially, I have to do the 'pat down' due to a medical device I have implanted, Mr. Tostandon, who goes through the scanners, is always waiting at the other end for me, shoes on, all of our carry on collected, laptops put back into cases, etc. I am always taken aside, then have to wait for a female TSA agent to become available, do the whole pat down, etc. It does take longer, especially if there is anyone else doing the pat down also. They only do one at a time. I actually wish I could do the scanners, would be a lot faster. Now, Kim, who knows, she may be given special privileges. -
I turned this on out of curiosity to see what the kids look like now-I had to turn it off; it was all so negative. Those kids all complain & whine...not attractive. Just my thoughts: Kate always talked about the wonderful opportunities they have always been given by these free trips, I think they have been given too much and do not appreciate anything. There comes a point where they expect it. As much as a germaphob she has always claimed to be (grossed out by her own kids dirty diapers and vomit) I cannot believe she allows that bird to roam free in her kitchen. I have parakeets and believe me, they do not care where they drop one! Everyone I know who has birds & keeps them on their shoulders like that always has a towel over their shoulder in case the bird does drop. But it looks like she has it's setup on the kitchen counter, so that bird roams the counters and leaves drops everywhere! And she is much more affectionate to that bird than she is to the kids. Kate does have a constant angry look to her..
-
Ok, I did not realize he pointed the gun at people as he said 'TREAT'...now, that, I do not agree with. I thought it was simply a prop with his costume that stayed in the holster. I rescind my previous comment. The moment he did that, it should have been taken away from him.

*Bob White Whistle*...I was so surprised to see someone's username as 'Trixie Belden', then your 'Bob White' jacket comment....I loved Trixie Belden books as a kid, and just last week, downloaded the 1st 3 books onto my Kindle and am reading them! I just finished the 2nd book today & have started the 3rd. I love them just as much, if not more, as an adult as I did as a kid back in the '70's. I love the ones written by the original author. Thank you for allowing me to share my memories... Now, onto the episode..I did not see the segment of Bill's surgery yet. The 2 times I turned it on, they were at the dinner table and Bill's mom asked Will if he will miss them.. He said 'no'. I am sure Will did not mean 'you can leave here and I will not care one way or the other.'. I am pretty sure Will does not understand what is meant by that question. He probably does not understand the concept yet that they are leaving to go to another state and he will not see them again for a while. Just a thought. The costumes were cute. I personally do not have an issue with the toy gun as Will was not pulling it out shooting it at anyone, that I noticed. When we were at Disneyland a few months ago, there was a Toy Story ride where we had 'gun' type controller and were 'shooting' objects as we rode past them. Again, just my opinion. What I found adorable was when they went to that first house and Will & Zoey went into the house. It was someone they obviously knew. He went right for the guitar. The man came over and held one end up for him. Will made this hilarious face like he was rocking out. I rewound it and watched it twice, it was so funny!

S14.E03: A Family Affair
alegtostandon replied to Tara Ariano's topic in The Celebrity Apprentice [V]
I just loved the way Donald cut Kate off in mid sentence, like he was saying 'I really do not care what you have to say.'. I am sure he hates asking her anything because she never shuts up, you know Donald knows she is being as fake as a $3.00 bill...she started her little speech again about how much she appreciates him asking her what she thinks. No One Cares What You Think, Kate! But this I am sure of, she is going to kiss Geraldo's 71 year old ass thinking that will get her further in the game! I hope next week we say 'adios' to both Geraldo & Kate! Waldo13 said: I was thinking that too, but seriously, if you had someone say to you before the show "You can count on me for a very generous donation", wouldn't you use it for your own PM & charity rather than someone else's? I think I would. -
Thank you so much, Mom2twoNonna2one, for saying this, it really aggravates me too when it is said that Sarah Palin made that comment, I had a link prepared to show she had never said it. I did see bits of that camping episode, I really disliked Kate Gosselin before that, disliked her even more after. You are right, Sarah's dad was so excited to show the kids how to camp ad fish, etc. and Kate just had to destroy any of the fun. Oh, yes, she will cry and beg. In addition to that, she will have to remind everyone how she is a single parent to 8, count them, 8 kids and should be allowed to win CA based on that alone. This comment from one of the judges on DWtS about Kate just cracked me up!

Kim Kardashian Thomas Humphries West
alegtostandon replied to Lisin's topic in Keeping Up With The Kardashians
The article was saying they don't know why TSA felt the need to pat down Kim by hand...my 1st thought was...I have heard that these machines can pick up on implants. Maybe Kim is choosing to go with the hand pat down rather than the machine so her butt implants will not be shown, cuz you know darn well, once someone gets an image of those things, they will be everywhere! Did anyone else notice the 2nd picture, where Kim is putting her shoes back on as Kanye is standing there, her butt crack is totally showing!! I have to do the pat down by hand due to a medical implant I have. No way is it invasive, I have never been made to feel uncomfortable or that I have been touched inappropriately. What they do to me looks very similar to what is being done to Kim...I do not think they were doing anything different. -
I've not seen the whole episode, somehow I always turn it on at the same part, Khloe talking to Kris on the phone while driving. As usual, it never looks as if they are really driving..they have their hands off of the steering wheel, holding the phone in one hand & playing with their hair with the other. Just some thoughts...Mr. Tostandon is a recovering alcoholic..he's been sober for many years. He did go through treatment but stayed the whole time, not just one day. When he got out of treatment, he immediately got involved with an after care program, actually, we both did as a couple. He started attending meetings, recommended is 90 meetings in 90 days. I began attending meetings myself, because most cases, the family members are just as 'sick', if not more so, than the alcoholic. We are the ones who have made the decision to stay in this relationship and usually, try to control it. You are told in treatment that when you get out, life is still going on as usual for others...there are liquor stores on every corner, bars on every corner, alcohol being served almost wherever you go. 'To Thine Own Self Be True'...you cannot expect everyone around you to change their life & their behavior because you have. While in treatment, we, as family members, were asked to abstain from alcohol, which I have chosen to continue doing. But we cannot expect everyone around us to not drink. It actually makes Mr. Tostandon more uncomfortable if people are uncomfortable ordering alcohol drinks when he is around. You are told not to put yourself in an uncomfortable situation, such as hanging out in bars still, etc. You have to be responsible for yourself, no one can make you pick up that drink. Even after all of these years, and we are talking with Mr. Tostandon, 28 years of sobriety, his sobriety is the most important thing in his life; if he was not sober, we would not have our marriage, our family, probably his life. He still attends meetings on a weekly basis, and it is not only so much for himself as it is to be there for others who are just newly sober. If Scott's sobriety was important to him, then he would remove himself from the things that tempt him, and if he is going to live a life, he is going to encounter those situations. The smartest thing for he & Kourtney to do would have been to say 'We can not continue with this right now, we will pick this back up after we have become more comfortable with Scott's situation...or...if they have others living in the house with them and they want to continue on with their lives, move into their own place, take themselves out of that situation. It is up to Scott to do this, not up to other people to change their lives and behavior to fit Scott. Yes, it would be nice for the others to clean up their messes, mainly because that is the correct thing to do; not because it may tempt Scott. I totally agree with Artsda, if I were Kourtney, I would have been more concerned about Mason or "P" getting into the wine. Scott puts himself in a lot worse situations by making these club appearances, etc. Is he still he is going to continue his "business meeting' dinners with his friends, are they expected to not order drinks now because Scott is there? Bottom line, in my opinion, if Scott is so fragile still that an open bottle of wine & some wine glasses may throw him over the edge, then he needs to be in treatment still. They had better remove mouth wash from the house, in addition to vanilla extract and cough syrups. Those are things that contain alcohol and a lot of alcoholics will turn to those if they get desperate. But, again, it is up to Scott to make these changes. If Kourtney continues to try to control things, he will never get better. My real thinking though, when it comes to this group: this whole situation was not real: first, as others have said, since when has Kim become such a big drinker. Also, I will guarantee you, there are plenty of housekeepers they have running around there cleaning up their messes. I highly doubt they would have just left all of this laying around.

S14.E01: May The Gods Of Good Pies Be With Us!
alegtostandon replied to a topic in The Celebrity Apprentice [V]
A 'Teenybopper' actually refers to the fan base, not the person themselves. So, that makes me wonder how many of Kevin's 4 million or so followers are capable of making sizeable donations; unless, of course, he begs each one to dip into their parents wallets and Western Union it to him right away, a la Soupy Sales... Was it ever announced the dollar amount that Kevin brought in? What in the world happened to Lorenzo Lamas? He looks nothing like he did back in the Falcon Crest & Renegade day...I mean, no resemblance. I did read that he has filed bankruptcy twice in 10 years.... Wasn't it Omorosa who, last season was short money on her task so put it in herself. -

I think what she was trying to say throughout this whole thing was she was wanting to show she was an independent person away from that role. I do not know how much acting she has done since the Cosby Show.. -

alegtostandon replied to a topic in The Celebrity Apprentice [V]
I am still trying to figure out why these people with reality shows are considered "celebrities". Never watch any of the RH shows so have no idea who they are..unfortunately, I know who Kate Gosselin is & cannot stand the woman. Why is Trump allowing her to stay relevant by bringing her on the show. And what was that whining she did about spending so much time in court. Mr. Tostandon dozed during the show...woke up to Kate trying to sound intelligent when she was kissing Trump's ass..said "who the hell is that...she sounds like an idiot.". Kate seems to be really out of her element here..always thanking Trump. Cannot wait to see her fired. The men's team has a lot more big names. I figured it was the Cosby girl who was fired...when they were showing previews of the season, they showed Kate & Geraldo together..she, of course, had to comment about her 8 kids. Kevin Jonas got on my nerves big time. He damn well better be perfect when he is PM. He sure was critical of Geraldo And who cares how many Twitter followers he has...they are groupies. It turned my stomach too when he opened that package with his mouth..didn't he blow in it too? -
