So, Jerry Hall’s new ads for her show “Kept”have been banned from the London Underground because it “violates a rule banning the use of people as sex objects,” according to this article on msn.
I don’t understand. If you’re not allowed to use sex to sell stuff, how do people know what they’re supposed to buy? Silly British.
In a side note, I feel compelled to add that I saw Slavko (OK, I’m really too lazy to look up how to spell his name correctly, plus, he’s such a dick, I kind of hope I misspelled it) on a week night at the Abbey about a month and a half ago, totally giving me the “you-know-you-know-who-I-am-and-you-know-you-want-my-tiny-pocket-gay-body” look, and it took me a minute before I realized it was him.
Nice. Gotta love the reality stars.
In case you didn’t know, Ashlee Simpson‘s in a new movie called Undiscovered and I don’t know yet if it’ll be so bad that I’ll want to see it,(Ahem, Glitter anyone?) or just incredibly painful (You Got Served…sans any kind of drinking game).
Apparently, to get into character, she decided to go for an extended period of time without showering because she thought it seemed like something her character would do. I really, honestly, don’t even know what to say to that.
Also, if you decide you’d like to look like the losers in this movie, you can do it here, cause you know, it’s so hard to get your hands on these items at much, much lower price.
So, there are so many reasons why What Would Janice Do? at the El Rey blew really hard last night.
It actually started off pretty promising, the Victoria Gotti/Donatella Versace look-alikes populating the crowd, vampy Bobby Trendy and his self-important crew trying to snag the absolute best seats possible and at this point, I must ask if you’ve ever seen the El Rey, because all the seats are basically the same. There were also a bunch of America’s Next Top Model wannabes running around, probably hoping for a photo-op. I have to say that some of them were appropriately stunning. It’s not that often that a woman can make me seem short and fat, but these chicks did impress.
I should have known when the lame “DJ” (for lack of a better word) started “performing” (putting on CDs and doing the whole “white-girl-upper-body-sway-dance” that I’ve always found so, so charming). OK, now, I’m definitely not a DJ myself, and I’m not a music snob in the least, but if your job could just as easily be done by a mix CD, then I have no use for you. I think it was at this point that my friend, Mike, remarked that he was probably the only black person in the room, except for a woman he saw on the way in.
Then, we saw Kimberly Stewart arrive. Of course, she and her crew were friends with the lame girl DJ. When the few paparazzi that were actually there saw her, they came over to take pictures, which was the cue for her lame hangers-on to start posing all annoying-like, hanging all over each other like the lame-o Kimberly Stewart groupies that they were.
It was at that point that I remarked to Mike that I was pretty sure I was the only woman in her twenties in the room who had a college degree.
It went downhill from there.
Janice Dickinson emerged over half an hour late, a nervous (I’m assuming), coked-up wreck. It was soooo not fun to watch. For whatever reason, they had tried to get Janice to memorize a script and she was freaking out because she kept forgetting the script, which was really frustrating to watch because SHE ACTUALLY LIVED IT AND COULDN’T REMEMBER HOW THE STORY WENT. After the first costume change, which came after about 10 minutes of Janice’s nervous rambling, Kimberly Stewart and her crew RAN out, leaving their lame DJ friend to fend for herself. Ha. I liked that part. After the second costume change, we jetted.
From what I understand Janice later fell.
So, if you’re wondering what Janice would do, please, remember…do as she says, not as she does.
That is all. I’m lowering my ANTM flag to half-mast.
The picture, clearly, speaks for itself.
KAMIKAZE GIRLS
Uh oh. My friend just instant messaged me a link to this and now I feel obligated to go see it and report back. Oh my God. It looks amazing. Based on the website alone, I’m going to go ahead and say that I love it.
My TV watching’s kind of random these days, between TiVo at work and the random times I’m actually home and not asleep or showering. But, from what I’ve seen, here’s what I have to say about TV, or at least the TV I’ve been watching…
CHECK IT OUT! TOMMY LEE’S SO WACKY!
Tommy Lee Goes to College
OK, I really thought this might actually be funny when I first started watching it. And really, it so isn’t. It’s so incredibly fake and forced that it just sucks. Man, I wish that had been more articulate, but seriously, it just sucks. His stupid advisor is trying so hard to be “hip” and cool that he’ll drop an F-bomb out of nowhere, which really hurts my brain. It reminds me of the time that I said to my dad, “You know, that girl, Beyonce, from Destiny’s Child,” to which he replied (rolling his eyes) “I know who Beyonce is.” It’s like, look, old man. Cut it out. I get it. I was just trying to be nice.
There’s this other part where Tommy’s trying out for the marching band and supposedly barely makes it. There are a number of reasons why I find this retarded. First of all, in the friggin’ intro of the show, we see Tommy performing in the marching band. In uniform. At a game. People. We’re not completely retarded. We know he got in the band. Secondly, Tommy. Come on. You sucked at tryouts for an instrument THAT YOU PLAY. Like all the time, supposedly. WTF, man? It’s like the only thing you’re supposed to be able to do. No one’s asking you to split atoms here. That’s your totally-not-planted, blonde, busty tutor’s job. Oh, how funny. I get it now. She’s supposed to look like PAM. How funny. I’m really laughing here. Really, I am.
HUNGRY FOR MORE STARVED!
Starved
I’m sorry. I was totally trying to sound all “Variety” with my little headline there. I couldn’t help it. Secretly, I want to be a trade magazine when I grow up. Anyways, I really like “Starved.” The way it’s shot makes it look like some clever little series on BBC, so automatically, it makes you feel smart to be watching it. Everyone is super-sarcastic, of course, but you can tell that they all really care about each other and honestly, people, that’s what I’m all about. The love. And the eating disorders. And the angry people who have them.
So, the websites for Banana Republic and The Gap are now working again, thank God. Apparently, on Friday, they were updating their site and I was very frustrated. I mean, how else am I supposed to do my “window” shopping. Get it? Cause I’m on a PC and it’s Windows…oh, I’m sorry. I just can’t help it.
This is just me venting…now, at work, I can’t get on Friendster or MySpace. Damn you, Mega-Corporation! You’re not the boss of me! Oh dammit. You are. But I’m still annoyed.
THE LISA HEALTH REPORT
I thought I was getting a cold this morning. Not sure about the outlook–may still be sniffly. Also, my right foot kind of hurts.
That is all. I think I may live. 
I just noticed that the copiers are working and have been pretty well for a few weeks now. It kind of makes me nervous. Like they’re going to attack me once I’ve been lulled into a false sense of security like those crazy machine things that chased after Diana Ross in “The Wiz.”
OH SNAP!
Oooh, somebody shot Suge Knight. Apparently, his injuries were “not life-threatening,” which seems like a bad move to me. I always think of poor little Vanilla Ice’s VH1 “Behind the Music” whenever I hear some Suge Knight news…him being hung over the balcony by his ankles, or something like that. The man’s never been the same. It’s like he goes out of his way to try and be tough now every time he’s on TV to prove that he’s really bad-ass, but the poor little guy doesn’t realize he’s jut being a major asshole. I mean, a white guy with dreads? Ouch, Nilla. Ouch.
I’LL MAKE SURE TO WRITECHA!
And Lil’ Kim’s going to jail! Can you believe that nasty ol’ R. Kelly gets VIDEOTAPED doing his thing and Lil’ Kim is the one going to jail? That’s just retarded. And for that matter, how is it that Suge Knight isn’t in jail? Hello, he shouldn’t even be running around getting shot. If life were like “Law & Order,” (which, of course, it should be) this never would have happened. Sigh. Chris Noth, come fix this. Now.
FYI–this picture really shouldn’t but it actually reminds me of my late Grandpa George. And now that I’ve put that out there, I feel compelled to explain. He enjoyed wearing his suspenders and jeans with no shirt, kinda like the Queen Bee over here. Wow. I feel kind of weird now. Um, God rest his soul?
EWING CONFUSION!
So, I was at The Grove this weekend, with my friend, and we walked past a cafe where I saw Patrick Ewing. After we walked past, I said, “I just saw Patrick Ewing.” My friend turned around and said, “Where?” So, I pointed him out and she could only see the back of his head and said, “That’s not Patrick Ewing.” I said, “Yes it is.” We walked past again, so she could see his face and I said, “See? It is him.”
After that, she started laughing and said, “When you said Patrick Ewing, I thought you meant…” And I realized she thought I meant J.R. and I think that’s pretty awesome.
