Okay. It has been quite a while since I have done any posts about anything pop culture-related. I just felt like I needed to be living my own live instead of living vicariously through others. That being said, I need to say something about the latest 16 & Pregnant teen, Lori. OMG. Lori was adopted herself, and then she went and got preggers. So naturally, the parents made her give it up for adoption. Trust me, I watched the entire episode and it was the right move. With that said, here is a picture of the angel: I know it is tiny, but it was the only one I could find on MTV's website that wasn't of her very post-birth. I am doing you a favor, so just deal with it. chaz bono? is that you? Come on, you know I am right. It has really made me appreciate myself on a whole new level. Sometimes you just need a little perspective, ya know? but on the real tip, someone.got.her.PREGNANT.
But I LOVE THE JERSEY SHORE SO MUCH! This show has rekindled my love for MTV. Are these people even real? I sure hope so, because they make me feel like much less of a failure in general. I don't understand how this is even acceptable. How many STDs do you think this group has collectively had?
Let's get a little bit more specific and discuss the angel known as "Snookie." She is like a oompaloompa made it with a real housewife of new jersey and created a miracle little orange creature. And this girl got straight up punched right in the face by a dude at a bar cause he took her shot and she got up in his grill. MTV probably aired that clip on commercials a zillion times, but then decided to cut it out of the actual episode?! I don't understand why, and it really bummed me out cause she gets POPPED so hard. Do yourself a favor and watch this:
Yeah, it's disturbing the first few times you watch it, but give it a chance. i mean, she IS okay, so it isn't that bad. Anyway, she for real got cracked on. I should probably get out more considering how many times I have seen this clip. guhhh!
I will begin this train wreck with the first of many of my obsessions: DANCING WITH THE STARS, Y'ALL!!!!! I have been watching this show for years. Yes, that's right - YEARS. And no, I am not ashamed. It has everything a lady like myself needs out of a "reality" show (I use that term very loosely). Glitz, ridiculous costumes, FIERCE dance moves, drama, scoring paddles, questionable sexuality, and a bevy of z-listed celebrities/musicians/bull riders/football players/sad hasbeens etc. Every week I get pissed because the judges (if you even wanna call them that) have the most insane scoring scale. I am sorry, but there is NO WAY on my version of Earth that this urban cowboy:
Competes with THE QUEEN BEE!!!
And I am not trying to hate too hard on Ty. He and his lady Jewel used to come in a hellish mexican cantina where I worked for a whole month, and they were quite pleasant. But I mean, come on. I don't watch DWTS to see Bud and Sissy two-step. I watch to see these people turn the beat around! These two are in different universes when it comes to how they get down. If the judges actually used the 1-10 scale accurately, then nutsacs like Cloris Leachman and Ty Murray wouldn't ruin my Monday nights every week. So Ty, I suggest you watch your back. Cause when you rumble with the Bee, you're gonna get stung.
