... Jersey Shore ...

B E S T show on TV. Seriously.

Is it just me??

Ah the Bad Girls Club... Somehow I always manage to get sucked back into watching this show. Is it just me or does it feel like this show is a prequel to several other shows? I see a future for these girls: Real Chance at Love, Rock of Love, For the Love of Ray J; and that's only the dating shows!! There's also Celebrity Rehab, Intervention and possibly, Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? Although that last one is quite a stretch..

The highlight of this season so far for me was when the girl some other girl referred to as 'Jay Leno Chin,' (HA!) made fun of two other girls for having eating disorders after falling down drunk and telling EVERYONE within a ten mile radius that she owns LA or runs it or something... I can't remember. I was to busy laughing at them for calling her Jay Leno Chin. Anyhoodily, it's maybe the funniest show on TV right now next to Jersey Shore.. And if you haven't watched that, you have not lived.

I'm saving that for another time... The Jaime and Amanda Talk About Celebrity Lives Blog.. COMING SOON!

Twitters and babies...

First of all, I've recently been hearing about Twitter.. I'm a little confused about this whole situation. I do not Twitter…. I don’t believe in Twitter. I’m medium sure that Twitter is just another way for the government to monitor our goings-on. Meanwhile, how did they let the Octo-mom slip through the cracks?

I know that no one wants to talk about the Octo-momster anymore but I need to share my thoughts...

First of all, I don't know who let her out of the house to get impregnated with the first SIX kids... Who told her that was ok six different times? Shouldn't someone have been monitoring her actions at some point? Then she went and had eight little babies put into her big giant tummy??? What the mother? These are questions I, as a tax paying citizen of these United States, would like to know. Really, shouldn't someone have stepped in at some point and said enough is enough already, you damn whack job?! Someone really fudged the bucket....

Hi rest of the world, here in America we still won't let the gays marry and live happily ever after, but you can birth as many babies as you please out into the world to use up all our energy and resources leaving 14 little carbon footprints all over the place?! What's the deal with that US Government??

Some people are saying that she tried to get pregnant with multiples in hopes of getting a reality show....

NOW, I hear she's in the works with TLC, I'm presuming, to get said reality TV show! Doesn't that channel have enough multiples-centered shows to date??? Really, it all started with John and Kate Plus Eight. Then they added Seventeen Kids and Counting. Now they've got Table for Twelve. They think people are going to care about FOURTEEN MORE CHILDREN? And what are they going to call it, Foodstamps for Fifteen?



Frankly, I don't have time for this business... I've got my own child, a neice and a nephew and I watch John and Kate Plus Eight. That equals eleven kids' lives I am currently following on a regular basis. I admit, I have browsed Seventeen Kids and Counting, mostly because I am medium sure the parents might have some role to play in the Apocolypse (I guess we'll see), but there is just no way I am going to be able to keep track of that many kids.. I think she totally missed the train with this whole giving-birth-to-multiples-and-getting-a-reality-show scene... Maybe if there weren't already a babillion shows on that subject but even then, I highly doubt the public would want to watch a show about a self-indulgent delusional Angelina Jolie wanna-be. I've got enough on my plate without having to keep track of another person's children.. No thanks,Octo-Mom, I'm full.

As my mother would say; what is this world coming to?

I've recently been caught up in the dating "reality" shows. The latest being, 'A Double Shot at Love with the Ikki Twins.' I know, I know, the name itself should be enough to send any sane person running in the opposite direction. For me, one quick peek proved to be fatal.

The premise surrounding this show is this: Two twin sisters, Vikki and Ricki, apparently could not find love in the real world so they decided that a reality show was the next best option. A group of desperate attention-seeking men and women compete in ridiculous challenges to win the affection of the surgery enhanced sisters.

Just so you know, they both chose the same guy. He was the weirdest looking person on the show and his job title is 'Boat Captain.' He then had to choose between them. He had told Ricki he loved her in a previous episode but then proceeded to choose Vikki, whom he said he was certain would be the perfect girlfriend. (The runner up also chose Vikki, although she was not chosen by either of the twins. NO ONE CHOSE RICKI. I laughed for days about that.)

This got me to thinking, what kind of people go on these shows? There are a plethera of different reality dating shows where contestants are forced to participate in humiliating competitions in hopes of gaining, what, love? Fame? I'm puzzled.

The worst of these are the VH1 date a famous person shows. Creepy-old-rode-hard-disease-ridden-has-beens looking for love in all the wrong places. The producers of this show decided it would be much to hard for the public to remember the birth names of the contestants so they opted for nicknames such as Toasteee, Like Dat and Deelishis. For the rest of some poor woman's life she'll be known as Buck-Wild: A woman who tried to "win" a relationship with Flava Flav AND LOST.

They didn't stop there though, oh no.. They gave the first place loser New York, her own show too! There are people who want to date Flava Flav's sloppy seconds. Who knew?

All I know is if I were looking for a romantic relationship, the minute someone started referring to me as 'Flaming Hot Cheeto' or something like that, would be the minute I pack my emotional baggage and move on.

In the midst of all this reality dating show madness I just have one question for the television networks; When is Lindsay Lohan getting her own show? You know that hot mess has been whoring around the town like it's her job. Why hasn't anyone been documenting this??? I'll bet she'd come up with some cracker-jack nicknames for her contestants too! Whiskey Macgee and Cokie McMethson, Mary-Jane Potter... I'd watch that show. No one wants to see Bret Michaels making out and fondling strippers on a damn bus! Lindsay Lohan swapping Valtrex for Adderall; there's a show!

Cabin Fever

This is an email I sent to my friend who wants to come see Emma. After reading it back to myself, I realized how much my life has changed now that I have a baby. I stay home every night! I copied and pasted this from the email:





Listen, this is my schedule.

Monday: I’m free til 9:00 pm when Intervention starts. Technically it’s a re-run but I watch it anyways until 10 when the new episode airs.

Tuesday: Free til 7pm when American Idol comes on. However, I’m fresh out of shows after that so my schedule opens up at approximately 8pm.

Wednesday: American Idol is on again at 7. I’M BUSY FROM 8-9PM. No shirt, no shoes, no business. Lost is on at that time and as you may have heard, there is no talking during Lost. The only time there can be talking is at Lost Appropriate Talking Times like during music montage or commercials. There are no other Lost Appropriate Talking Times. Actually, there are no Lost Appropriate Talking Times period. And there are no cell phones allowed. After that, I have to decompress for a few moments. Around 9:30pm I’m free again but only til 11pm when the new Real World is on. From 11-12 I hold my eyes open with tape or tooth picks, whichever is more readily available at the time. 12am on the dot: Sleepy time.

Thursday: Not so good for me. I’m double booked between 7 and 8 pm when Ugly Betty and Bones are on. I flip between channels during that hour. It gets a little messy. 8pm: Grey’s Anatomy. I pretty much pretend that this is my other life and these people are my friends. I free up at 9. America’s Best Dance Crew is on at 11 but that’s not pertinent.

Friday: There are no shows on Friday. I don’t know if it’s because I’m never home on Fridays or what. Maybe I watch movies??

Weekend: No shows.

So, that’s my schedule. I really can have visitors anytime but there is no talking during Lost.
