I like Whitney, and I admire the fact that she was able to get her life and career back from the brink, but that interview was so awesomely self-important. Mostly because Whitney would start to answer a question and Oprah would pipe in with some overblown but obvious conclusion, and then Whitney would just agree.
Whitney: Well, I thought I was being a good wife...that I had to...
@mrsryan: Yes, yes, yes and yes. The dramatic pauses, meaningful eye blinking and constant god references also made the whole thing seem very rehearsed and intentional.
@whoneedslight: I'm glad I'm not the only cynic. Her little smug smiles and just-the-right-length pauses made me squirm. And this coming from someone that really WANTS her to come back.
@thecameralovesyou:
Exactly. I certainly don't hate Whitney and I'm happy for anyone to recover from addiction, but I watched the entirety of the interview, not just clips, and am actually surprised that more people weren't put off by it. I don't think she took a whole lot of personal responsibility for 10+ years of disaster. Especially considering she was raising a child for most of that time.
Wait a minute.. this is just extreme sports and Nickelback. Two of my least favorite things. Tracie, how could you do this to me? I thought we were pals!
(And by pals I mean I read your blog and think it's funny while you don't know I exist.)
I only saw a clip of this on The Soup, so I don't know if that was really coke or not, but can't E! and the Kardashian's get in trouble for walking around with a vial of coke in their possesion? I mean, come on!
Didn't Brooke Hogan also have a pseudo-lesbian experience on Brooke Knows Best a few weeks ago? Producers, keeping it pseudo-original in the world of reality tv about pseudo-celebrities.
Well damn. On the one hand, good for them for being honest and doing their part to keep drugs off the streets and all. OTOH, the latent criminal in me says, why would you do that??!! Why why would you knowingly give away allllll that money??!! I guess that thought is a remnant of my drug dealing days as a misguided youth.
*Remember kids, don't do drugs! *Seriously, don't! They're why I can't remember anything for longer than ten minutes, and still have flashbacks!! *Again, and I can't stress this enough, DON'T DO DRUGS!!
*Although they will make you seem cool..... *NO! NO THEY WILL NOT!!! THEY WILL RUIN YOU!!!!
Wtf is up with bananas lately? The deadly (or, not so deadly, according to other reports) spider in the bananas in Tulsa. This. And I ordered THREE bananas from Peapod last week, and received TWENTY.
That is an honest guy. If it were me in that situation, the police might have 59 pounds of cocaine and I would suddenly be the best-dressed grocer in town.

Whitney: Well, I thought I was being a good wife...that I had to...
Oprah: I'm realizing something now: You. Took. Your. Vows. Seriously.
Whitney: I did! I did take them seriously!
Well, shit. I took my vows seriously, too, Oprah. I didn't laugh once during them.
