Sun-Bun

I think we might’ve had the same Grammy!! Mine refused to give up her car keys until she was 92 and showing slight signs of the dementia that eventually overtook her. When she was consecutively reported for nearly causing two major accidents in parking lots, she FINALLY relented and gave up her keys before it was legally forced on her. The worst came a few years later when we had to take away her phone too because she’d call up 911 just to chat and complain—aging is so brutal on so many, but I’m just grateful we her family were there to help her not hurt herself or others before she finally passed at the age of 101. My pet-peeve of the day? Random internet cruelty to others for opposing opinions. One reason I appreciate these forums so much is because mature adult behavior/discussion and not attacking other members for their viewpoints is a requirement here; not so much at some Facebook groups and Instagram/Reddit pages, where some people will drag a perfect stranger in a minute for daring to disagree or offer an opposing viewpoint. I literally had one gal at a celeb gossip site on Facebook mock my character/looks/career ((after trolling my own private profile like a creepy stalker)) just because I dared mention why I wasn’t a big fan of a performer being discussed on a thread. Had another person ask “What’s wrong with you?” Like I was on there saying I kick puppies or worship coffee filters or something just because I dared not fawn over some random celeb they liked? Sorry I didn’t find this particular actress all that pretty or funny, apparently I’m a “vile and disgusting” person for politely mentioning this among strangers in a celeb gossip discussion group. Still gave me some slight relief to report those weirdos to the group moderators; I’m not looking to get doxxed by some butthurt trolls just because I didn’t openly worship one of their beloved celebs. Guess I’ll NEVER understand the weird need to pick on other strangers I’ve never met on social media just because they dared say something I didn’t like about a show/movie/celeb/politician/influencer that I like. It’s beyond rude and just hella creepy.

That’s really sad and disappointing to read—no offense to the other actresses, but Melanie is the most realistic looking character of them all given her character’s typical middle-aged suburban mom trajectory! Wouldn’t they *want* an actress to look the part versus looking like every other typical over-40 too skinny/too Botoxed actress out there? I found it beyond refreshing to see someone like Melanie cast in that role and I wish we could see more of this realism in future castings—it boggles my mind how Hollywood still apparently expects *every* adult female to be a size 4 and under.

Here’s a few fun reads for ya! https://www.realitytea.com/2021/12/31/lala-kent-randall-dirty-disgusting-dark/ https://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2021/12/lala-kent-randall-emmett-was-awful-in-bed-like-just-so-terrible/ https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/pictures/everything-lala-kent-has-said-about-randall-emmett-after-their-split/

Seriously, she just wanted to make sure to slide in there and secure that bag with her baby mealticket. I can’t believe Randall couldn’t see that and didn’t get himself fixed secretly, especially while he’s having to shell out child support for his previous children. LaLa just looks even more pathetically shallow attacking him now though; funny how his looks and demeanor didn’t matter to her BEFORE…

You can bet on Leah coming back; they’ve hyped her too much on Bravo and she represents a younger, hipper audience. I think Luann and Sonja are safe too; I think Ramona is the main wildcard here. They know she makes for wacky TV but they also know how problematic she is, so I’d bet money Bravo is using this time to let her bad buzz settle down a bit. I’d be shocked if Eboni comes back, but I think she’d be much better on her own, without Leah attached to her hip. I’m sure they’re sniffing around for quality newbies as we type. And like most folks, I would LOVE to see Dorinda back. Bethenny can just stay gone, for all I care. Her ego is way too huge for this show to work organically as an ensemble cast effort.

I’m convinced Katie is basically a big ol’ pothead and has been for yearssss now. She seems fried every time she’s onscreen; OR maybe she’s just on some prescription downers of some sort. Can’t blame her too much; imagine being married to a man-child like Schwartz! A pot habit would help explain her complete lack of motivation on the show to do anything other than lay around and whine at Schwartz all day. Or the fact that she evolved from a spunky skinny model type to a slovenly “luscious” lazyass. Or the fact that her Pucker & Pout blog pretty much nosedived as soon as her role grew on the show. Obviously this sandwich shop thing is just a desperate storyline with Katie and Ariana for the show, because how’d she go from being originally so determined to work in the music business in some capacity to THIS sad mess?? Something About Her is the stupidest name ever for a female-run sandwich shop and I hate how everyone keeps hyping it. *Especially* when Katie gave the Tom’s so much shit over their bar’s equally stupid name! Hell, I can come up with some catchier names right now: Between 2 Slices, She-Sammies, Sandwich Her Way, Meat In the Middle, 2 Girls 1 Sandwich, etc…so where’s my timed water meeting with Randall already? I’d be on time AND have a more professional pitch/look, and I’m not even pretending I wanna open a 🥪 shop with my fave co-worker!

Isn’t that the WORST?! You almost wonder how in the Hell some of these “Senior” workers managed to get where they have for this long in life. I’ve had a few managers/bosses that similarly made me shake my head in confusion over their sheer incompetence. No excuse for the ignorance and/or thoughtlessness of some professional clowns somehow in upper management. Speaking of clowns, I certainly felt like one yesterday: Saturday night I went out with some friends bar-hopping, and looked over after my last drink of the night to realize that my entire credit cards/ID holder had been STOLEN from right beside me at that crowded bar. Then a friend of mine even got tossed out of the bar shortly afterwards due to arguing with the bartender about letting him search the areas around/behind that bar to help find my freshly stolen stuff. 🤬 In very slight miracles here, the thief had *so kindly* left my ID/blood donor card at the bar, but decided to otherwise pocket my two credit cards along with my beautiful leather YSL cards holder. Thankfully I immediately closed both cards so there weren’t any charges on them yet, but goddamned do I ever loathe thieves with every fiber of my being. Taking advantage of folks drinking in a bar irks me even more; plenty of times I’ve returned lost keys, wallets, phones, purses, jackets and far more in bars/clubs, so I’m always especially annoyed by the trash who decide to take advantage of their fellow bar patrons. I guess I should be grateful I got my license back and didn’t lose worse like my purse and/or my phone, but it still hurts like Hell when you’re violated like that with random petty theft. Once you’ve had your car broken into multiple times and have even had people break into your house, you really just distrust humans in general.

Right?! I’m so proud of her for finally walking away from his mess in such a classy and mature fashion. That whole story of him blowing up at her family over the holidays proves what an egotistical asshole he truly is; this time with the future in-laws is when a guy needs to be on his very best behavior! So if he’s ALREADY getting that obnoxious with them, she was right to see the foreshadowing there and get out as smoothly as possible while she still could. Good for her! And he *really* needs to look into seeking far more serious therapy/anger management for his future relationships.

Good lord, Noella is beyond EXHAUSTING and awkward AF—I originally thought I wanted to like her because being so extra on reality tv is almost a fun requirement, but she’s not even remotely amusing or fabulous, she’s just sorta cringey and somewhat off. That whole creepy whispering scene didn’t help make her remotely relatable either, “laryngitis” or not. And the fact that she’s trying so desperately to create drama and sound bites/gif moments is very obvious(“little girl”?! Is she taking notes from cuckoo Mary from RHSLC??!); if Jen’s thirsty to her than Noella is officially dehydrated with her own randomly weird antics. Like I can honestly see why her husband went running to the hills to GTFO of that sham of a marriage because she’s definitely a few fries short of a happy meal. Speaking of happy meals, why are Gina and her shitty wardrobe still on this show again? I can’t help it…damnit, I just can’t quit Shannon. She’s still so oddly endearing to me with all her weirdly self-victimizing moments and unintentionally funny self-dialogues. Maybe it’s because I feel so bad about how mean Heather is *still* being to her…plus, I love that she probably still drinks like a fish on the DL despite losing her Tres Amigas former party buddies. Actually am missing The Tres Amigas now…and I never even really liked Tamara/Vikki, but they were always so damned entertaining and brought the drama, at least. This shit is all just so tiring.

Let’s not forget the irony that Stassi & Jax started off as the star couple on this show…and were both equally deplorable, of course. ALL these folks were equally deplorable in the first seasons, actually; wasn’t Scheana considered the only sweet naive heroine of this entire bunch? It’s just kinda funny how the show tries to play up this faux narrative of all these current cast members maturing into better, smarter people with new professional directions, when really they’ve only gotten this far in their current lives thanks to easy paychecks from the show and influencer incomes/appearance fees/podcasts. That’s the big irony though: Jax and Stassi and some others got booted from this show for being more openly deplorable than the rest of them. And Stassi and Jax were so oddly entertaining despite their mutual awfulness. Yet the whole entertainment factor of this show has always been to showcase how awful/messy/stupid all of them truly are, so no wonder it’s so boring this season!

Juliette is a badass rock star ❤️. Not sure if that’s her singing Agreed!!! I love how JL brings that same alterna/riot grrrlll energy to almost every single role she plays. if you ever saw her rockstar turn in the late 90’s movie “Strange Days”((she played an ex-lover of Ralph Fiennes’ character)), she was fantastic in it and even got to sing several sexy PJ Harvey songs.

Okay, Google to the rescue on this mystery: https://www.stereogum.com/2172073/craig-wedren-anna-waronker-share-yellowjackets-theme-song-no-return/music/

I’ve been fast-forwarding through the theme song for this very reason too; I know it’s supposed to be of the era, like angsty 90’s chick-rock a’la Ani D’franco or L7 with alterna-MTV video imagery, but it’s just *not* my jam. And now I keep wondering if it’s actually Juliette Lewis singing the theme song? She’s a rock singer and the gal’s voice sounds a lot like hers…vaguely curious.

Dream RHONY Cast: Dorinda, Ramonja(I can’t bear the idea of these two drunken loons being separated), Carole Radzi, Tinsley, and Olivia Palermo. Friends of: Nicky Hilton, Lu and Eboni. As much as I do enjoy Bethenny, I hate the way she sucks all the energy out of every scene and how everyone in the cast desperately plays up to her. She’s at her best when she has someone to regularly feud with, honestly.

I’m watching this because I admittedly always have had a very begrudging fascination with Paris Hilton. Can’t stand her weird baby-voice that fades in and out of her actual voice, her pet-hoarding and past-racist/sexist comments concern me, and her style/home-decor is so damned tacky, but I still find myself oddly intrigued with her for whatever reason. I’m actually enjoying this drivel for its oddly fluffy dose of escapism; it’s fun to see Paris’s real estate porn, and I love watching her interactions with Nicky and Kathy. I have a newfound respect for Nicky now, actually: she seems to have gotten all the good sense/taste in that family. Hope Paris & Carter actually make it and get a true “happily ever after” marriage together, because they both seem vapid enough to ‘get’ each other. Although I really do think Paris only wants to be a mother to dress up/parade around her child.

For your sake then, I hope you avoided “Winter House” like the plague, because watching multiple attractive young women pining away over Muppet Mouth was all kinds of gross. I had to quit watching after three episodes; kinda sickening to see this loser being treated like a stud just because he’s tall!

I just see an elf whenever he’s onscreen. An anxious Keebler’s elf with a penchant for pasta, pot, and put-downs.

They’ve been filming for at least the past several months; lots of the cast has been pictured/storied together on their Instagrams. Just last week or so Whitney and his band(Renob!!) were jamming on a local hotel rooftop together…and there’s a wink at a possible Kathryn/Austen showmance in the works now that they’re both single…which…gross thought…

I’m actually really hopeful this show will be a far more fun, Southern-spin on the original VR formula, especially since VR has effectively jumped the shark and none of the original cast members even work at SUR anymore. We need a new spin on that concept, although I somehow doubt they’ll ever find that ‘lightening in a bottle’ chaotic energy and train wreck appeal that the original VR cast shamelessly displayed. This cast likely grew up on that hot mess and studied all their mannerisms and storylines. And I’m sure wannabe actors/models in West Hollywood have a completely different, more instantly charismatic vibe overall than aimless Southern fuck boys and party girls biding their time in the service industry until they meet their future first spouses and join the local Junior League chapters. Plus, LVP > Leva Bonaparte—Lisa brings her saucy little British one-liners, cute doggies, and wealth porn. Leva brings…a lot of self-righteousness and questionably authentic Chanel bags.

Especially potato salad!!!

Seriously though, I don’t like to looks-shame, but I’m gonna looks-shame just because LaLa sucks and kinda deserves it: Randall is just so goddamned gross. And I don’t care what kind of ‘sparkling personality’ Fofty supposedly has: it just floors me that so many hot Hollywood broads are willing to not just sleep with but actually *PROCREATE* with that toad!!! Just the mere thought of him naked makes me dry-heave…guess LaLa truly got the cheating schlub she deserved in the end though, broken engagement, bankruptcy and all. But stick a fork in this show because it’s so done. Although I’m positive that Bravo will keep trotting it out for multiple seasons after this one because they’re the ultimate dead horse beaters as far as reality shows that need to be put out to pasture go((I mean hello, “Shahs of Sunset” and “Southern Charm” are currently filming even despite lagging ratings from both their abysmal recent seasons)).

Not to suddenly get all grossly TMI here, but this sad reality makes me think of all the teenage female special needs students I’ve worked with over the years as a Sped teacher; it’s beyond cruel to watch these young women with the literal minds and/or bodies of toddlers or small children suddenly be forced to deal with bloody pads/heavy bleeding/cramps. Most of them have NO idea why they feel so shitty/get so yucky once a month, and we their teachers are left to deal with their severe mood swings. This inevitably gets me very ticked off at their parents who allow them to go through that monthly mess, when they could easily get them a period-pausing Depro shot and/or explore a variety of other options for helping these poor young ladies control and/or delay their period pains. I had a fellow teacher who used to shake her head and say, “God must be an evil man” when having to put maxi pads in the diapers of her wheelchair-bound intellectually-delayed female students…just saying, it’s an ugly little secret out there that special needs young women are every bit as affected by period pains as normally functioning young women.

Loud chewing in general! And also: Loud breathing. Loud sneezing. Loud music. Loud car engines. Loud children/babies. Loud talkers. Loud neighbors. Loud sex(if I’m not the one having it, that is). Basically just: Oddly enough though, I don’t mind loud farts. Because I have the humor of a 12-year-old boy.

I tried to watch two episodes of “Winter House” but could barely make it through halfway of the second episode…what a bunch of trash. I’m sorry to any “Summer House” fans here, but I do NOT get the appeal of that show at all and adding in several random SC cast members certainly didn’t help the cause. I don’t even think tossing Shep and Pringle in there would’ve helped that WH mess seem any better; although I’d pay good money to see T-Rav tossed into that house in one of his booze/coke-addled rages. He’s so disgusting, but he’s pure trainwreck TV gold!

Same…I have such a love/hate for her because I kinda enjoyed her when she first came on the show, living her best life as an ally to Scheana, Sandoval/Ariana as well as being James’ drunken muse. Loved how she basically antagonized the Witches of WeHo and sexually frustrated Jax. I dug her original face. Then suddenly the OG’s desperately clung to her for extra perks and PJ trips and she started messing with her face and got so high on her own farts. Now she’s just a far skankier, thirstier Stassi.
