LOL!  So Star Jones' hubby is a REAL real man.

speaking of which, did you get the Terry McMillan divorce story in Europe?


someone on the plane yesterday shared an international herald tribune with me. i read all about mcmillan and wife. "i can't believe this could happen to me after i wrote a novel!" maybe she'll write a sequel. how stella got her pride back.

Nicely played, Princess.  But in this case, I kinda doubt that pride is a deeper love.

As for Alicia's line, I can't speak for her, but I know that I always like to come first.  Maybe it's an ego problem ...

speaking of pride and a deeper love, i watched all (both?) episodes of the bobby (and whitney) show last night. i don't think i've ever been so confused and frightened. they're going to be pretty embarassed when they wake up from their drug-induced ghettofab nightmare of a lifestyle. won't they? or will they just wonder where their teeth went?

Those fair-weather friends
Are faint-hearted lovers...
And every time it happens
It just convinces me more...
When you're in love with Terry McMillan
It's (not) hard (enough)..."

We were like Stockton to Malone on that one.  Nicely done.

Can we get a play-by-play on that?  I haven't read any reviews of it yet.  Might have to see what Television Without Pity or Diet Coke Of Snark have to say about it.

Where do I sign up?


hey, ali - what's up with your job?

Thanks for wondering.  Working, doing time. It's OK but not exactly dreamy. Still too busy (and exposed) to log in regularly and usually the morning zips by. I look at the time and it's already 10:30 or better. I'll get by but want to look for something else while I work.

poc's summary is right on. A major trainwreck.

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.

Of course, if Bobby's new album takes off and sells millions, said PR person will be hailed as a genius...

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...
