S01.E02: A Match Made In Tabloid Heaven
heebiejeebie replied to HunterHunted's topic in Ladies Of London [V]
Because she weighed the gamble of making her pregnancy work fashion wise and making the best dressed list against putting a ridiculous hideous beetles bull's eye around her pregnant belly and pretty much guarantee getting plenty of photos taken and keeping said pregnancy in the tabloids? Even if it means landing on the worst dressed? I wonder which she'll choose. Caprice would blow the horses of the Horse Guards in front of Buckingham Palace if meant she would be on the cover of the Sun every day for the rest of her life. -
Seeing the new promos and I think the show bosses might have completely cured me of watching (I'll keep my eye on all of you of course). I simply burn every time I see these creatures simper and pout in all butt hurt glory at the fact that the two criminals got caught and are being held to account for breaking the law. For criminal behavior. I'm not sure how far the producers will go with editing either way. but just seeing thirty seconds of Mrs Giudice prate about how hard and bad it is for her and how it just should go back the way it was. Where she and her ape of a husband got what they wanted and others paid. In some cases with their livelihoods as businesses failed to get paid. The fact that her simpleton of a brother is rallying to her cause is silly and sad because i do think the Giudices would let the Gorgas hang if the shoe was on the other foot. And that one shot of Dina? Smirking into the camera hoping Teresa comes out okay? Nope. Nun-unh.

Marissa Hermer: Little Miss Perfect?
heebiejeebie replied to David T. Cole's topic in Ladies Of London [V]
My British brother-in-law said that while it isn't the smartest move, Marissa's citizenship change might make sense in terms of whatever her pre-nup says. Part of a potential proposed settlement might be held shares in the family business for any children. She now has two I believe. She could have been promised a bigger settlement should they divorce if she promised to keep family assets in trust for her children and enjoy the income of part or whole for her whole life. This is big in French marriages to a non-national and certain trusts there require both parties to be full citizens. I hope I explained that correctly. And she does sound like Caroline Rhea! Also her voice matches her looks and mannerisms. Not sure if it is a social act or whether it is just her. But it keeps her not unlikeable so far. -
"The Daily Show": Week of 6/9/14
heebiejeebie replied to trow125's topic in The Daily Show With Jon Stewart [V]
It's funny how I've changed over the years. In at least small part thanks to the coverage of topics on this show since Jon took over. When I was in college, as a non-scholarship athlete I could wax indignant over the fact that scholarship athletes were complaining about getting a free education that was hideously expensive for me and even more so for lots of other brighter students. Now I'm so hoping the NCAA gets decimated. While not up there in terms of importance such as gun control and regulation, I would love to live to the day when the NCAA is completely dismantled. Not going to happen. But what a happy day when legalized athletic servitude for gross profits comes to an end. I love college sports and hope to never see those great traditions end. But when even pros have a hard time to get their organization to recognize health hazards in terms of the physical strain and abuse they undergo, how many hundreds if not thousands of young football players are being used in such a disgusting manner and then completely thrown away when they "blow their chance"? -
Ice Cube had one or two good quips but overall was flat and just did not belong on the show for me. Not his fault as it just isn't his platform imo. But dang did I get annoyed real fast with the whole "don't make Ice angry" bit. I wonder if Hill and Tatum would have shown up pre-Hill foot-in-mouth episode. Since Tatum always looks like he is recovering from a binge of Red Bull, beer and protein supplements to the point that he could play a young Boris Yeltsin, neither he nor Hill did anything for me last night. And maybe it was my annoyance levels raised by so many other things last night but I now know I find Chris's "wipe wipe wipe" annoying. Not him saying it every night per se. But that to me, he clearly thinks we as an audience love it and find it cute. If he would just do it and not include the whole "I'm doing IT now, wink wink this is so inside joke aren't we cool?" thing I get I'd be fine. And while the "win" of course means nothing and I hardly think Ice Cube deserves the sole "honor" I hope the automatic win goes to ____ was a never to be repeated occurrence. Slight but grating as well.
-
While it might lend to the long term success of the show, I hope last night is not a trend. I do not want to see panel after panel playing the publicity tour run for whatever movie or show is coming out. I say this with the awareness of hypocrisy since I thoroughly enjoyed the Undateable episode. Though in my defense I believe all three panelists that night have some background in comedy.

S09.E08: Not So Silent Night
heebiejeebie replied to swankie's topic in The Real Housewives Of Orange County
I took the comment as further evidence Vicki was an active poster on TWOP since almost every other post it seemed in the RHOOC was about how "gay" Eddie looked seemed or was. Long detailed posts on why being gay of course was okay but somehow Eddie owed it to the world to just come out already. Got to be that the thread was downright discomforting to follow for me. I had to educate myself against making gay an accusation. And I'm gay. So hearing Vicki make the comment was hardly jawdropping for me since every new season since Eddie came on the show the TWOP thread had a tsunami of unintended but downright virulent self righteous accusations and outrage over one man's private matter. I just hope I live long enough I don't have to hear people talk about how we homosexuals somehow 'ping' and move across their "gaydar". Whether it be Vicki or just fellow posters. I've got relatives in the deep south and they gave up talking about suspecting people of passing as "white" decades ago. -
S01.E02: A Match Made In Tabloid Heaven
heebiejeebie replied to HunterHunted's topic in Ladies Of London [V]
Graham has made jokes about Elton doing pretty much anything for a buck and Elton jokingly agreed with him when he was on Graham's show. Elton went bankrupt i believe. About ten years ago. His lifestyle was nothing but spending. One tabloid headline, if I recall correctly, had him spending 2.5 million a month for almost two years. It was like 50 million he went through in less than two years. -
S01.E02: A Match Made In Tabloid Heaven
heebiejeebie replied to HunterHunted's topic in Ladies Of London [V]
Did Caprice go with her sperm donor/boyfriend? Annabelle had a man with her. Marissa went in by herself. My sister has been to the Serpentine event. (eta: she has never walked the press line though to my knowledge) Some years it is a much bigger to do than others because the subscription list will often mention who is going to attend. My guess is the show bought a certain number of tickets and doled them out to the women accordingly. There is no way that the Hermers would have purchased one ticket even if he knew ahead he was not going to attend. It was all contrived mini-drama. That or some of Marissa's in-law Hermers were already inside with the rest of their tickets. Either way I still believe fully that Noelle knew she was riding in on Caroline's coattails long before the cameras started filming. I did laugh on re-watch at how thrilled Caroline was with Elton John being present. Heck even if just from Graham Norton, as fancy as Sir Elton is personality wise, financially he is still a huge trollop for the check after his wealth did a caper those years back. You could get him for a sweet sixteen if you paid enough. I'm not bashing his pragmatism. That crystal beading can only be re-purposed so many times. But Elton is not that big of a deal for the level that these women like Caroline are pretending to play at. In fact even Noelle looked torn as to whether she wanted to pout at having to swallow the fact that Caroline has been cast as the "insider" or sneer at Caroline's humblebragging hyerbole. Marissa as the greek chorus seems like the best decision by far. I don't loathe her yet. Same can't be said of the rest already. Though is Julie Sandwich actually going to play a real role on the show? Anyone else find it odd that Caprice had her surrogate in L.A. of all places? Granted i think the whole "two babies" shocker was carefully planned out (I suspect that Caprice might have actually miscalculated on her own pregnancy and wanted them even closer together to raise her freak tabloid profile even higher) because there was no way she wasn't going to use having a baby as a tabloid fodder, I mean increasing her "wealth and power". I wonder if it was so she could control the announcement of the babies birth's better. Because my little high tea on the grassy knoll says they might have been farther apart than the 'month' as Caprice looked very small for seven months. Yes I know that happens. But being a woman who I cannot but believe devised a way to have "twins" that would crack the silicon seams of her body and be scintillating press attention, I can see her making sure that nature didn't throw her any curve balls to her press released maternity she couldn't spin or disguise. Annabelle's dress was beautiful but it was wrong for her from the waist up. Her torso looked like a board game with pieces missing. Or one of those Chinese finger puzzles gone horribly wrong. Any Londoner's present? I think I counted one Eclipse and one Bumpkin (Hermer's group owned properties) as settings this episode. My sister and her family live on Abbotsbury Road on Holland Park. So some of the scenery looks like I might have walked past it. But most of it looks like it might just look a lot like something I might have walked by. Most of my London travels though were as tourist or on business and staying mostly in The City and the company digs down Wapping way. So despite having an 'in' on the West I'm still learning my way. It's between Regent's Park and Kensington so I would say yes, it is pricey. But my experiences with London are pretty much all pricey. As in nose against the window looking in pricey. I am staying at the Lanesborough next month for a wedding which has me a bit pleased. -

While I do think that there are plenty of laws that are outdated and even contradictory to others also in force, I find Howard's notion that this is the prime reason why govt' no longer works absurd. Our legislative branch has long been a gordian knot. But growing entitlement among congressional lifers on both sides and the easement into filthy lucrative lobbying as their golden parachute is a stronger incentive to sit on their asses and do nothing. The huge determination by Republicans to cripple the nation to diminish Obama and thumb their noses at the masses that dared to not vote the way the establishment minority wanted is of course also a huge reason. If all the bleaters and blitherers on the Hill wanted to fix, say, the problems with the Veterans Administration, it could be done. But that would staking a position. It would mean taking on the very responsibility that Howard mentions and conveniently forgets is being shirked and ignored because a substanceless career is easier to defend when it comes to re-election and easier to sell to Corporate America when it comes time to revert to the private sector and start peddling influence. -
Caroline Stanbury: The Gift Librarian
heebiejeebie replied to David T. Cole's topic in Ladies Of London [V]
Yeah I get the sense she married him for money and he is suppose to quietly take care of the bills and leave her the limelight. In other news I have a great little green scrubber that really gets the cooked on guck out of pot edges that is a miniature of that Cavelli she wore last night. She looked hideous. And hilarious. The shape of that dress looked like she was birthing some kind of sea sponge. -

It seemed pretty clear to me despite the script, that Scott never intended to go the way he was dressed. Jeremy Irons might get away with showing up in an old fire rug, but Scott's attire was not suitable for that event. I loved Annabelle tottering walk of hesitation desperately hoping the paps would engage her for an extended bit instead of the occasional snapshot. Caprice went about conceiving these kids for the very result she got. She wasn't trying to spin a story that was coming out that she couldn't stop imo. She set all this into motion simply to get in the news. She really is incredibly loathsome. I'm wondering how long it takes until the rest catch up to what a creature she really is. I think Marisa gets it. Noelle just seems petulant any time she is not the topic, Caroline is too self centered to see beyond what it means to her and Annabelle actually just seems stupid most of the time. -
Caprice Bourret: By Caprice, For Caprice
heebiejeebie replied to David T. Cole's topic in Ladies Of London [V]
I just hope she mated with an actual human being. Otherwise I suspect she will devour her children at some point. What a foul creature. And yeah, I get that they are all in the same boat floating on the seas of desperation for attention. But Caprice takes it farther by jumping into the waters long before the boat springs a leak. She clearly is taking pages from the Kardashian plan to stay in the public eye. The fact that she equates notoriety as the path to power is just so pathetic. I will say this. As she distorts and makes her face ever more grotesque, she is essentially turning her visage into a warning label for the person inside. I imagine twenty years or so into the future, Caprice and others like her will be the social lepers simply winnowed from the rest by the amount of too much and way too early work done. -
Yeah I saw a few minutes and was stuck with the image of Guy Fieri mounting that Ree "Reads Straight from the Can" Drummond and Lenny the result. The only show I'd watch with Lenny is "Trying to Butcher an angry Bull with a Nail File in a large open field"

If I liked Khloe I would have wished she had turned to her porn star sister Kim and replied "you do know all about men not coming back don't you...how is Reggie by the way? You also know all about men coming ...'back' don't you...how is Ray J by the way?"

Watch What Happens Live Past Seasons
heebiejeebie replied to Lisin's topic in Watch What Happens Live
Andy Cohen is a good catch ( as in actual relationship material and not a whore bank for some underwear model du jour or a tablodi cover seeking same level "celebrity" in the same world that Kim Kardashian is a "star", Donald Trump is the poster boy for sexy hair and Lindsey Lohan is the poster girl for work ethics. From his own mean spirited childish fame whore gobsmacking awe of anyone who gets bold print on Page Six, I'm guessing the misogynistic idiot is hoping Anderson Cooper or someone else both famous and considered a hot catch will step away from the mirror and the too small Prada tees and into Cock-Eye's arms and onto the cover story of People magazine. As a gay man who is incredibly shallow, I'd sooner make Rick Santorum's worst fears come true and marry an animal than get with this tool and fool. Just another example of how much luck plays into success and little to no skill or true talent. -
It's a little before my time in terms of awareness of such events but I was thinking maybe Cardiff is a mix of Compaq and Dell with a few other companies thrown in to give it a good mix.

"The Daily Show": Week of 6/2/14
heebiejeebie replied to formerlyfreedom's topic in The Daily Show With Jon Stewart [V]
Well his plastic surgeon would be happy to hear that on his way to the bank to cash those checks. Myself, the over filled cheeks and botoxed scalp make him look too much like Putin to offer any congrats in a constant white knuckled attempt to stay "fresh". It is nice he makes more effort than most looks obsessed women and has a little over an inch of his forehead left untouch to let a few furrows offer a false hint of being "natural". The fact his eyes are being squeezed out the side of his head is an unfortunate giveaway. -
I loved that Roseanne ranted about coming out and doing the "let's hear it NY (or wherever the show is taking place that night)". I didn't pay money to be part of a cheering squad for where the fuck I live. Make me laugh. Don't try and validate my real estate buying choices in life. I think the editing was really off this episode. There were a couple of comics let through that, subjective takes on what is funny aside, all we saw was one weak joke. the audience reaction assuming it was true, supported that. In fact the balls bit got huger laughs when the judges basically took it apart and put it back together again. Instead the show highlighted some good bits that now I will not see more of. Maybe I'm unique but that doesn't make me want to tune in next week over doing or watching something else. Maybe the comedians that went through will bring strong material next time,. Do I care to gamble on that? eh.

Well the idea of Porn Star Kim Kardashian having another kid to keep in the limelight, no matter how slim a chance that was, seemed to disappear in her basically considering her child nothing but a mirror to hold up and define her own worth as a 'sex symbol" So here's my guess how another season will play out. Kim claims she is pregnant again. But she "loses it". Makes her the poor victim in the public eye. Then she'll avoid having to go through stuffing herself into "just off the pole" fashions while looking that 150 scrotum without it's man (r.i.p.) seven months pregnant And they'll go with a surrogate. Yes I do think they are that heinous. Actually I think they are even more heinous and my imagination just won't take me into that dark a place.

I've been background watching the season after they needlessly killed off my delicious eye candy in Alejandro. I've followed the forum chatter more closely than the episodes more and more each week. Figuring I would play catch up with the usual end of the season marathon Lifetime tends to run with these types of shows. Now I'm leaning toward not even bothering with that. Granted, i always thought the character of Alejandro was underused to begin with. But I thought his whole household was ironically the most interesting to watch evolve despite it being Carmen's setting (who I find a charmless uninteresting character to say the least). Alejandro with Odessa and Sam provided the one household that was strictly fun as well as being interesting. Between razing that setting with Alejandro's useless to propel the plot death, and keeping Carmen out of the ruins and only Carmen, the show severely crippled it's allure for me to say the least. But the development. Or lack thereof everywhere else seems to be ringing a death knell for me long before the hot lazy stay in a/c watching a marathon even hints on the horizon. So thanks to the devoted watcher for keeping me up to date. and make sure if Matt Cedeno returns in any way to let me know! Long lost twin. Doppelganger. It was all a dream and Carmen walks in on him talking a shower. Whatever.

Actually they swtiched it with the show that was on. The weird zombie show now runs at 11 instead of 10. Not sure if it is still running the extra fifteen or not. Why was Dawn there? Not complaining at all but I don't think it was ever mentioned let alone covered. Usually it is said even in passing in the edited 45 minute shows. I often wonder if Graham does not care for someone who is on the show. Now I think maybe Eddy Grylls might be that guy. Granted I think he is a posturing phoney myself. But looking at the couch it was kind of odd in makeup. As the huge movie season kicks off it just came off as a non-grabbing line up in terms of publicity (again I love Dawn so I was glad for what we got. Any time and every time). I wonder if the always carefully coddled Tom Cruise appearance threw off the schedule since even though he now deigns to share part of the show with others, he still needs that private session as it were with Graham and whoever is his female lead of the moment. anyway back to Grylls. I think Graham is way too clever and his demure protests seemed more gleeful than rueful after he pretty much called Grylls out as the liar he is in the matter of where the ring was in the whole skinny dipping proposal thing. Seems like nothing more than a silly "adventure" story Grylls came up with to show how edgy he is in the outdoors. Betting he came up with it from the confines of an Egyptian cotton robe in the seaside resort's spa. Graham just seemed like he might have had enough and got his ring up the ass ding in and then sat back while Grylls tried to figure out how to untie that knot.

S01.E01: My Fair Ladies of London
heebiejeebie replied to LilaFowler's topic in Ladies Of London [V]
Annabelle rides a real horse like she is still hiding Kate Moss' stash up her ass. i wonder if the whole horses element is something she is affecting for the show? Only thing more hiliarious about Annabelle not being comfortable in her skin was the clip of her stumbling down the runway solo at the charity show. Her version of blue steel is certainly unique. Caroline, even if playing a role, is so lacking in self awareness it makes for slightly amusing watching. Trying to adopt a world weary langour at the polo match? You have a camera crew capturing your every move. You are not above it all when everyone around you is watchign you lift your knickers and sell it like the last tart walking Camden when the pubs close. Noelle. Your co-star might be a shrill attention whore but I doubt she is jealous of the fact you are a billionaire swindler's tart propped up sto show a stable relationship for the tabloids as she struggles to keep the wife and the taxman at bay. and letting your face be used as a croquet wicket is not the way to go about staying "fresh". Marisa. I know London digs through personal experience. I'm going to drop the humble part and just revel in my extreme luck in working for a company that owns really great places to rest my head when I am there. I was kind of surprised how humble (for the setting of the show) her place is. It's not cheap by any means. It was nice. But it was smaller than I thought someone would try to front for the show. I also get the location probably adds more than enough to the bill. But I wonder if this show is a real financial boost for her. Heck for all of them. In fact I'm wondering without the show's check just how many can pay the bills? Annabelle, Caprice and Noelle I'm betting might live a life of paying last months bills only when the next month's notice due arrives. Sure, it is a "nicer" more indulgent life than the average joe, but even Marisa and the Stanbury cow seem like the show money might be making a huge difference in making ends meet. I'm already weary of the whole Brit versus Yank bit. But it will be even more tiring if they force the Americans to do almost gratingly trite things like the tea at Fortnum & Mason. I get that the show depends on the grace and willingness of sites to let them film. But the age of these women (even with the whiff of chemicals Caprice Stanbury and Noelle have to constantly give off) should mean more places, no matter how trendy, like the Modern Pantry or Gallery Mess would be nice. I want to see what the locals and the transplanted locals who have the cachet (by which I mean the camera crew and production money) to get into with greater ease than someone like me forced to do London on a week by week basis that includes family obligations that are duller than a conversation with Annabelle and Stanbury. -
Caroline Stanbury: The Gift Librarian
heebiejeebie replied to David T. Cole's topic in Ladies Of London [V]
I'm intrigued by her Vestey bragging. Her mother's mother was the daughter of the 1st Baron's second son. It would be easier to say that her grandmother was the granddaughter of the first baron I know. But I wanted to highlight the lines of descent here. The idea that she has some kind of lingering glamor, wealth and prestige via this familial tie seems downright ridiculous. Also I wonder if we will ever see the inside ofher house other than want I strongly suspect is the real estate listing video when the Stanbury's don't have the check from this show to cover their financial gaps. Every comment she made snidely about the others sounded more like a running commentary of her own sad life. Fashion victim? Wearing an overpriced nad overwroughtly shredded denim jacket over a dress thirteen year olds can buy at the Gap for their first group date to show how ennuied she is it by it all at the polo day? Check. Pointing out how one can buy one's way to the table but not be completely accepted? Check. And whoever her publicist and stylist are should both be fired. Anyone that let's their boss pay them and still let them adopt a ridiculous hairstyle coupled with that overdone face? Stanbury looks like an overfed constipated surly dog from the neck up. -
The most amusing and enthralling aspect of the show for me was seeing the carefully constructed 1 and 1/2 inches of non-fillered and botoxed strip of Cruise's forehead to show two rows of lines as false evidence he is all "natural". As if the over filled cheeks, pulled to breaking point temples and what had to be an entirely botoxed to the point of toxic death scalp didn't scream he apparently still shares a plastic surgeon with Vladimir Putin. But just watching those two lines crease while the rest of his head seemed to actually tighten before my very eyes was a grotesque bit of fascination I could not shake. Emily was a bit better than the carefully picked female co-star of the last two films..but still. It is so sad this little man in every way needs to come on a show like this and be coddled and basically have to have his ego craddled and stroked like it is a baby bird that just fell out of the nest. The second funny thing was now as a third show veteran, Cruise understands the whole placement hierarchy element of the couch. And he was guarding his first place spot when Charlize and Seth came out like a goalie with two minutes on the clock and a penalty tie breaker taking place. Little wee tool was not giving up his place no matter what. I'd love to know what the highly irreverant Theron and McFarlane had to say in the back as they were watching Tom Cruise attempt to pull off the always difficult role of being a human being.
