Um. Contradict yourself much?

On whether the media should provide more realistic body ideals:

To expect that anything put out by Hollywood is going to be realistic is a bit naïve at this point. But that’s me, a 31-year-old woman, talking. If you’re a 15-year-old girl, you look at these bodies and think, How am I going to attain this?

I believe we have a responsibility in terms of disclosure about what’s touched up. More and more actresses are saying, ‘Look what they did to my waist on that photo shoot!’ that is powerful because at least it gives women a chance to express their imperfections. We owe it to girls out there to portray a healthy and true image of ourselves.

Quoting Elisabeth Hasselbeck, now appearing on the cover of Fitness Magazine, six months after the birth of her second child. In a bathing suit. And gold bracelets.

Wednesday Whatever

1) A big fat WHATEVER to me for sitting through American Idol last night. This show is for tweens- Not thirty something mothers who have better things to do than watch what's-her-name bat her eyelashes and do that open mouth smile thing, the What? You think I look amazing? I'm so surprised! (Not). What's up with that? Why do Randy and Paula always tell the women how stunning they look? No one ever says to the dudes- wow- you look hot tonight! They don't, I know, but that's not the point. Paula- who was jumping up and down doing her cheerleader clap last night while Taylor was singing- I've got your number. I know you say whatever Randy said first, just in a different way. The kids are too distracted by your riddiculous heaps of gold jewelry and your giant rings to notice but you can't fool me. Simon? I think he's naughty in a good way. Was naughty in a good way. I'm never watching that show again. After tonight. When hopefully what's-her-name and her fake eyelashes and fake hair won't win and I never have to hear that horrible song about her destiny ever again.

2) Barbados or whatever that horse's name is. I am absolutely an animal lover. I think it's terrible that the horse broke it's foot and I'm very excited that he's doing well. What's bothering me is that every news outlet in the world is reporting how he feels so great he's being very friendly with the phillies..wink wink. Oh my God. It's not enough that everywhere I look there are more attractive people with better love lives than mine. Now this horse is more attractive and more interested in getting busy than me. It's madness. I'm not being outdone by supermodels anymore, I've been outpaced by a horse.

   3) To the people who I won't name here who sent my husband a letter from an attorney (one who's office deals only with real estate and tax law so don't think I don't know your brother-in-law's cousin typed this up on company letterhead for you) because you were standing in the middle of a bike path. MrB rode around you on the grass to avoid you and your puppy who was uncontrolled, on a 3 foot leash and darted out in front of MrB. We are not paying for your vet bill. Take us to court. As Randy Jackson would say- Bring it! (Dawg)

Post Script: Oh AI- how I'm sorry that I doubted you! Last night watching Kat strut around while having to sing with that old stinky couldnt sing a note Meatloaf? I didn't know you had it in you. Prince? F yeah! Clay Aiken with that riddiculous hairdo? This was better than anything I'd pay to see. I still love you. See you next year.  Don't be mad.   

Wednesday Whatever

#1) Ashley Simspon: Does anybody really care if Ashley Simpson got a nose job? She's already got a record deal she doesn't deserve, fame and money just because she's related to Jessica. Why does she need it? What does she have to gain from a nose job? An elusive modeling gig? Whatever.

#2) Chris Daughtry: Come on dude. Six months ago you were working at a car repair shop wearing a blue polo shirt to work everyday. Now you think you are so hot that when an established rock band who you ripped off covered on A.I. offers you a job, you have to think about it for a week?! TAKE IT. You aren't that good. If you were, maybe you wouldn't have been voted off, you dig?

#3) Britney. Please stop. This is serious. This is so disturbing on so many levels. If I had cameras following me 24 hours a day, I'd get busted doing some stupid shit but I'd like to think it would be me picking my nose or singing really loud in my car by myself - badly. Not involving the care, or not so much, of a baby or two babies. What's the point in having a full time staff if you still can't manage to strap your baby in the car seat? Real life people do it every day with NO NANNIES. Get a grip!
