@cate3710: Oh, I didn't word that correctly. I meant I thought it could be either Posh or Ricci but really felt dumb finding out it was CZJ. However, BlondeGoddess was the wind beneath my wings assuring me that I wasn't completely old and out of touch (because she thought Posh, too).
@ItchykooParker: How good does she look! I first saw her when my cousins taped "bedknobs and broomsticks" off the television in the late 80s and sent my sister and I a VHS copy. Love her!
Oh marvellous Chris Martin, you're happy to donate to Kids Company and help homeless teens as long as they live far away from you (ie South London) but you had no qualms about blocking that hostel for homeless women and their kids at the end of your street a few years ago?
Just as long your idea of charity doesn't inconvenience you or your property prices at all, you hypocrite...
(PS: Kids Company deserve every penny plus more. It's just Chris Martin I have issues with.)
Penelope Cruz's quote resonates with me... whenever I do hard physical activity that leads me with bruises, (like the ones I would get back when I did fencing) or cuts (I'm clumsy and fall a lot) catching a glimpse of them always makes me a little happy, like seeing a little trophy on my skin.
@InABook: A few weeks ago my husband and I were out trail riding and his horse spooked so just for the heck of it mine did too. No big deal on either side, but the next day I had a little bruise on my thigh from the saddle somehow and I was proud. Oh yes! I AM the rodeo queen!
I knew Katy came from a religious family, but didn't actually know the preacher bit.
So, um . . . . are they the kinda Christians who are cool with gay folks, or is bi-curious kissin' experimentation promoting one of the things they think think needs "positive influence"?
I perked up when I read the bit about Posh and the Alexander Technique - cause it's a posture thing that my flute teacher used to make me do to increase my lung capacity, and it was exciting to suddenly realize that maybe my flute teacher wasn't making stuff up.
I would support MTV more if they also pulled that fight scene from that Teen Mom show off the air. I'm really tired of seeing the commercials where that girl slams that dudes head into the door and then slaps him.
The "Jersey Shore" thing, the whole...thing...it's...god.
It's a pack of awful people being awful in awful places for the sake of being awful.
I'm not justifying violence, but it's a bit like watching "Cops" and being shocked (SHOCKED!) that people get tasered.
I live in Chicago and lived in the area when they were filming the "real world" back in 2001 or so. Those were some of the worst human beings I've seen outside of documentaries on genocide. Screaming, petulant, crass, mean, demanding to be let into places with their camera crews and causing a general ruckus everywhere they went. I watched one of them have a complete meltdown outside a bookstore (!) that had a sign up saying "REAL WORLD NOT WELCOME!" which many business in the area did.
Again, not a justification, but it's an ugly and terrible world populated by people who are loud, pushy and acting like idiots. Bad things will happen there.
And MTV will make money off the "controversy" of it all.
I mean-- pulling it from the air doesn't mean it didn't happen, MYV. I don't care for reactions like this-- "oh shit, this is controversial, better shut down the dialogue!"
I've never seen that guy Russel Brand when he DIDN'T make a rape joke. Seriously, his MTV Video Awards performance was just a string of "Oh hey female presenter, I am going to slip you drugs & then rape you in your dressing room, ah ha ha!" I hate that weasel.
Per the Snooki punch getting pulled, ima quote the venerable Dr. Horrible:
You're treating a symptom while the disease rages on...
I know this discussion was brought up a bit last week (I was unable to join in) but that they're pulling it because it's male on female violence is upsetting to me. The truth of the matter is that they're still putting and filming people in situations that they specifically fashion to be dramatic with a good chance of violence. They have no actual intention of making their programming better for women (or men for that matter), they're just sweeping a PR problem under the rug.
@LaComtesse: love the dr. horrible reference! the asshole who did the punching should've thought of his words: "I don't have time for a grudge match with every poser in a parka!" and walked away.
