forgive me, for I do checkout the ” reading material ” in the grocery line….

Yes,I am of those hypocrates who bash the tabloids, give me a sleezy headline, and if the lines not moving,well, I can fit in alot of crap in my head in a very short period of time. Also, as I am writing this I have Oprah on in the background, ( I know, I just went off on her weight whining ) but today she is patting the back of some of the people we ( the dummies, who go and spend a ridiculous amount of money to go to the theatre, or people like me who wait until I can see it for free. ) can’t seem to get enough of. Whether its what they are or arn’t wearing on the ” RED CARPET ‘ or which party they attended afterwards… I mean they just had the Golden Globes ( I THINK ) a couple days ago. First they bore everyone sick with the nominations this is where the ass kissing and back patting really gets started. Oh, and this is the beginning of the endless supply of award ceremonies which we will be sujected to for months to come…… I dont know if its just me, but when I hear the names of the nominations I swear, I havn’t even heard of most of them much less have seen the movie ………. The only ones I seem to know about are the ones the studio either thinks could be a bomb, even though they have paid stupid amounts of money to ” well known” actors, who couldn’t save it for any amount of cash…    These are the movies that they have commercials of and trailers of weeks before it comes out, and they have shown all the clips of the only parts of the show that are even worth watching, so when you do see it, you say, ” well all the clips looked good, what the hell happened…. they are also confusing me, ( I realize this isn’t difficult to do ” ) by having the same people act together in different films. Seriously, how many times has ( whats her name… ) you know, the chick in the Titantic with Leonardo Di’Capprio… has played with him in different movies, I know it’s more than a couple. I still remember little Leo in the sitcom ” Growing Pains ” Ha, dosnt that remind you of other ” child ” stars, Little Ronnie Howard in Mayberry, and John Travolta in “Welcome Back  Kotter,” then there was George Clooney in the one where all the girls lived in a boarding house with the heavyset lady and he was the neighbour who had a store next door, does anyone remember the name of this ? What was the cute Spanish guy ( Mario something, he was trecently on Dancing with the Stars ) on ” Saved by the Bell ” I used to watch Kelly Rippa on my soap, ” All my Children ” the list is long , bet they didn’t know they’d be rolling in it in a few years…  It seems as if Kate Hudson isnt with Owen ( what’s his name ) shes with Ben Stiller or Matthew Mc Connehy or if they cant get Kate they will go for Jennifer Aniston. Brad Pitt is getting really old and so is his sucker lipped wife, oh, are they married hard to keep track,

 

Back to the subject, or was there one ? I just think we see the same people over and over and over for years and years. I mean Meryl Streep has been around so long, I think the kid that played her son in Kramer vs. Kramer might even have an AARP card…. You can never tell how old the stars are, I think some, like Joan Rivers probably dosn’t know herself…  I’m surprised the public dosn’t want some new faces, they have recycled everyone way too much. Now the young ones are getting married, which is another ocassiong for all the tabloids and gossip shows to have a heyday with, and then they have kids, some before marriage ,some in between, and some after…. they we get to guess what ridiculous name they will give the poor little sucker. I think they are all trying to outdo each other. So far there’s Apple, she’s Gwyneth Paltrows kid, The Beckhams have Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, Jamie Oliver ( The Naked Chef ) has Daisy Boo and Poo Honey ( these are REALLY bad… ) then theres Demi Moore and Bruce Willis withRumer, Scout and Tallulah Belle, Sunday Rose  for Nicole Kidman and I believe the first weirdo names came from good Ol” Frank Zappa, with Moon Unit and Dweezil…..  I think this gives us enough insite to know someone probably took something to ease the pain during childbirth, and I mean BOTH parents ( and probably before birth… ) Now, after seeing this you surely cant blame your parents for your name, if it tops these let me know…. I told my girls if and when they have a baby and it’s a boy that Surr would be a good name. He would always get respect. If  a teacher wanted him she would say ” Surr, please come up to the front of the class, you are brilliant Surr….” see what I mean? They both said NO….

Well, I’m going to channel surf to watch some of my old and new favorites, ( I Love Lucy, Gilligans Island, MASH, ) you get the drift, let me know if you find a good show…

  1. Hey I sooooo get what you’re saying about junky magazines. Sometimes I deliberately stand at the end of the longest line in the grocery store just to make sure I have enough time to get thru all of the top stories in the REALLY GOOD magazines. (I usually start with People then go to the “second tier” gossip rags if I have time.) And from time to time, someone ahead of me in line will see that I have just a few items and they will (in an effort to score brownie points or maybe just engage in a random act of kindness) suggest that I go ahead of them. They always seem surprised when I say “No, that’s OK, you go ahead” and go back to my reading!!

  2. I can’t remember the name of the show George Clooney was on either but I remember the show (the lady with the red hair), but the cute Spanish guy is Mario Lopez. I’m with you, the best shows on TV are the “old” shows like you mentioned and “Green Acres” “Beverly Hillbilly’s” and my favorite, “Seinfeld”.

    Keep up the good “blogging” it’s great looking forward to reading them.

  3. The show was called Facts of Life. And no, I was NOT a fan. I’m with you, shows like I Love Lucy, Andy Griffith, Cosby….are the only ones we watch and so do our kids.

  4. Hey Julie. In case you maybe wondering who the heck is Becky….My husband, Tim Seiber (who used to work for Sean), told me what had happened not long ago and then Sean mentioned to Tim your blog. He told me about it, and I am so glad he did. You are hilarious! Anyways, I know we only met once at Jamie’s “Survivor” party (ahh…that was so much fun) but I just wanted to let you know that I have been praying for you and I sure hope all goes well with the upcoming appts. Take care.

  5. That show George Clooney was on was Facts of Life… remember, with little “Tootie”….LOL. I like the reruns of Bewitched … always wishing I could just wiggle my nose and get what I want (well wouldn’t want Darren, but you get the drift). Looking forward to your next blog … they are great!!

  6. how about senator,your honor,they or them
