I understand "ghettofab" as an aspiration -- if one is actually from the 'hood. But Ms Houston grew up in upper-middle-class surroundings and went on to be a millionaire many times over. If one didn't know this, and tuned in to the show, they'd assume she was some crackhead from Bed-Stuy who got lucky and married money.
What PR person can think this show was a good idea? You have to (at very least) be deeply cynical about what the public wants, to allow your clients to appear on TV as not merely stupid (Bobby makes Jessica Simpson look like Einstein) but impaired.
wellllllllll, whitney IS from jersey. i said "remember that."
show (high)lights:
- whitney screaming, "hell to the naw!" whenever she doesn't want to do something
- bobby taking pictures with any willing person with a camera who has already been turned down by whitney, who is still screaming, "hell to the naw!"
- bobby explaining at a private party at a chinese restaurant how he finally found his manhood because he didn't have to go to prison for beating his wife; whitney smiles on, nodding her approval
ed. note: "hell to the naw!"- whitney singing along to a muzak version of "sir duke" in a hotel lobby; bobby commences humpin' around as soon as he discovers his wife is in a good mood (recurring theme)
- the children. good lord, the children...
