I really long for the days when people with 'alter egos' were either superheros or batshit insane or both. I remember being so mad at the Project Runway producers when I found out that contestant Zulema had an alter ego called She-tangy but I hope spelled Shitangee, and all mentions of it had been cut out of the whole season except for a few scenes shown for the reunion episode. I imagine they thought it was just too bizarre for their Legitimate Reality Show.
Now, everyone and their exercise bike has an alter-ego, and it needs to stop. Anyone who wants to sell me on the alter-ego bullshit only has one ego, and it is too large by 90%.
I want to know how writhing around on the floor/bed became the standard of sexiness. To me it looks less like, "I'm so sexy!" and more like "Help! I'm possessed by Satan!"
Jesus Christ, that's awful. As with all of her "songs", I feel dumber having listened to it.
This leads to a rant: Just because you happen to be a ridiculously beautiful woman does not mean you are immensely talented at singing, designing clothes, creating fragrances, and/or acting. I'm sorry. It just doesn't. She's succeeded in making a brand of herself and also millions of dollars, so she's a shrewd businesslady and that's awesome. I just think that producing utter crap like this is so unnecessary, you know? Like it's embarassing. Ah I don't know. I'm tired and grouchy.
@Aesop's Foibles. YES.: No I totally agree with you!! It's no longer about someone actually being TALENTED and really GOOD at one thing, they have to have their hands in every industry--music, acting, producing, designing clothes, fragrances.
@tinytm11: I'm also bitter, I admit. Like even if I happened to like something that was "designed" by a celebrity, I wouldn't buy it, simply because odds are they already have more than enough money and they don't need any of mine. I'm poor and sad, in case you couldn't tell:)
Martha Stewart was on the site this week, and she is someone who seems to have a firm hand in everything she does, and she wouldn't dream of putting her name on something that didn't live up to her ridiculous standards. I can't help but compare someone who has built their brand that way vs. a J-Lo whose business plan seems to be "what other shit can I slap my name on to make a buck?" Singing, dancing, acting, fragrance, fashion--I want to put quotation marks around each of these. I'm struggling to come up with something she's done REALLY WELL.
Still, she wouldn't be where she is without a market to support her. Not us, clearly!
See, the way to make this song a hit would have been to collaborate with Jenna:
My muffin top is all that,
Whole grain, low fat
Fresh out of the oven
On a separate note, my ex used to sing Lola at karaoke nights (very well, I might add). He would always dedicate it to his 'lovely girlfriend'. All the times he pulled this, only one person ever had the nerve to come up and actually ask if I'm a transvestite (I'm not).
@JessaFields: I did actually buy the person who asked a drink. I figured they deserved one for a) asking what everyone in the pub was wondering and b) asking nicely ("Are you... I was just wondering... is it that song for a reason? Because you make a good woman if it is.")

Also, I'll never forgive her for making stiletto Timberlands popular.

It's annoying as all get-out.
