“Dooon’t you knoooow who I aaaaaaaaaaaam...”

OMG... I sort of feel embarrassed on his behalf... over-autotuned (can’t really sing), lip-synced like he doesn’t mean it, fake girlfriend (PR arrangement), silly lyrics (come of age and you want to escape the sugary boyband sweetness, I get it *yawn*), a video that looks like it’s made by someone’s spotty nephew in…

After I’ve hit ‘publish’ on my comment I am going to get up off my seat and give you a standing ovation for this analogy.

If she’d posed half naked for another photographer, she’d still have made the cover and got all the (social) media attention. She, or at least her agent, had a choice to refuse Richardson.

Sorry, but that’s BS. By your logic Bill Cosby should be raking in the offers of work.

No one in their right mind would sign up (with) Bill Cosby for any business, or appoint Max Clifford as their publicist, so how the FUCK can Richardson still be in business?!

Tell me about it, Oprah. As I was saying to Aretha the other day... nope, doesn’t work when I do it, pretentious tit all the way.

Reality TV seems to thrive on conflict, just like talkshows used to in the 1990s... let’s just hope like hell that none of these end up in stabbings and killings like some of those talk shows did, but formats like this could really be pushing it.

“Hi, I’m Chucky! Wanna playyyyy....?”

Aretha Franklin is one of very few people on this planet who can namedrop without sounding pretentious. And damn does she know how to namedrop - there’s a time and place for everything, and this sure was it!

So OK, compared to fake health gurus, pretend cancer survivors telling real cancer sufferers to ditch conventional medical treatment, and Munchausen by Internet sufferers, she’s harmless, but enabling her might encourage other people to come up with more damaging or dangerous shit for attention.

Serious question: Do these contestants take part to actually find love, or just to ‘become famous’?

I’m asking because years ago I stopped watching the Apprentice UK when it seemed too obvious to me none of the candidates on there had been picked for their business acumen (more like the contrary) nor did they seem…

Ha! That song played through my mind as well

There, fixed. (I think.)

Wow... I didn’t even know that was possible, Grand Jury is asked to look at X, gets to decide Y? Or was it the Grand Jury who made the decision not to prosecute PP and then the DA who decided to indict the two individuals?

She makes it look good, though...

I thought the “2 Corinthians short of a Bible” line was sublime, actually.

I know... I really don’t care for her music but I wouldn’t wish this heartbreak on anyone

Is it meant to look like this or did they stick big decals over something else that used to be there?
