I'm a washed-up celebrity, get me outta here!

REALITY SHOW HILARITY!!!! I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here is indicative of American intellect-level. It's D-List celebs in the jungle, playing "Fear Factor-type games for food. In the end, it's supposedly for charity, but really it's CPR for their fledgling careers.

So, Speidi, aka Spencer and Heidi Pratt are on and off and on the show. The best part is watching their religious transformation. You know, finding your spirituality is no joke, but it seems so insincere that you kind of have to laugh inside (then say some Hail Mary's inside right after...). Spencer's standing on a log yelling to Jesus, and asking for forgiveness and strength because he made a rude comment about Lauren. Ummm...the show clearly works for these celebs because I've never watched the Hills or the OC but here I am blogging about Spencer. So there you go.

San-freaking-Jaya of American Idol made a BROOM to sweep the floor of the jungle!!!!! I love Lou Diamond Philips asking for pennies to tweeze Sanjaya's eyebrows!

The best part of this show is Patti Blagojevich. So, being the ignorant person I am, I kind of didn't know who she was. I knew she was the wife of a politician that had been involved in scandal, but I wasn't clear on the details. So, I continued watching the show without a clue as to who she was. Then, she started alluding to the hardships that she faced at home, and how the jungle was a cake walk compared to her personal hell at home. So I googled her. OMG! Then I remembered who she was and who her husband was. And the whole show just became all the more intriguing to me. I want to see how she's going to possibly spin this thing besides her "losing my house, driving an old car" shtick.

I fell dumber by the second but I can't turn it off!

Real Housewives of Heeia

So, continuing on with the theme of bad television, I'm now hooked on "The Real Housewives of New Jersey". I'll admit that I am a fan of all the Housewives sagas, but I wasn't sure if this particular state was going to hold my interest. To be honest, they weren't, until...THE BOOK.

So basically, the housewife called Danielle gets totally ragged on by the other housewives, and they all talk a bunch of crap about how she's a husband-stealing whore. Then, they discover this book that talks about how she was arrested for kidnapping and drug charges and things of that nature. There's even a mug shot photo of her in the book, but her name is different. The book talks about how she changes her stripper name to "Danielle" and apparently it stuck.

So I, being a total sucker for reality show fodder, google the book--"Cop Without a Badge". It's selling for $189 USED on Amazon!!!! Then, I read the reader comments about the book, and it's all these comments to Danielle's ex (who the book is about or something) about how he's such a liar and how everything he talks about is untrue. They mention all these family names and how this uncle hates him, and how that cousin won't even speak to him etc. But the kicker...they mention that he has the WRONG DATE AND LOCATION of his own father's death! So clearly, the book is not exactly non-fiction.

Long story short, I spent the rest of the day googling these women and reading their Bravo TV blogs, which I've never done before (see previous post about my lack of blogging knowledge) and ridiculous comments from viewers like me. HILARIOUS SHIT!!! I mean, seriously. There's all this commenting about mob ties and how one house husband pays for everything in cash, and how's he getting all this money wink wink. AWESOME. I love it. So I guess I was a little hard on Cesar and the dogs. I mean, he DOES work magic on unruly Fido's, overly aggro Champ's, and ADHD Spot's everywhere. I mean, who can hate a guy that puts a dog on a treadmill?

I've decided that I want to be on a reality TV show. I SO could (I mean, if I was back to high school weight). But I have enough drama! And I'm evil, I talk a lot of shit, and I'm loud. I have all the makings of a great show. So write to Bravo everyone: REAL HOUSEWIVES OF HE'EIA!!!
