One Biotch Replaced By Another

What’s wrong with The View?
It’s bad enough that they continue to have Ms.Thing, Elisabeth Hasselbeck on their show, who’s right wing, closed minded, bible thumping, anti gay rants have set me through the roof on several occasions, but to bring D-lister bozo, Kate Goselin on the show?
 
Gee… which idiotic biotch makes me feel like biting a tire more? Hasselbeck or Gosselin? It’s definitely a toss up. 

Hasselbeck has had MANY heated arguments with several panelists on The View over the years. Go Rosie!

One tiff involved Hasselbeck and Whoopi going at it over Hillary Clinton’s suggestion of having the US Government give each child a $5,000 saving bond at birth, and Hasselbeck’s reply was,

“it would lead to fewer abortions due to women wanting to keep the money”.

Sheer brilliance at its best!

Thankfully, Bush is out of the picture as well as Palin and John McCain, “The Maverick”, so we don’t have to hear Hasselbeck defending those morons. But that will be replaced by Kate Gosselin’s bitchdom. I hope Whoopi or Behar rips her a new one.

Kate Gosselin AND spineless ex-hubby Jon’s claim to fame was pimping out their kids for the almighty dollar. And don’t get me started on her hair which looks like she backed into a weed wacker. Is The View rewarding her for her bitchiness and kid pimping by hiring her for the show? Yes I believe they are.

Yeah, I know it’s all about the ratings, and I am sure they will have people tuning in so they can maybe catch a couple of cat fights between Behar and Kate for the couple of days she will be on, but I just dont agree with rewarding this person with MORE paid air time. Does she need more money to pay for yet another nanny to care for HER eight children while she’s off doing all these appearances? Does she have another phony crap book coming out? ”Multiple Bles8ings” indeed!

It’s bad enough that Kate was asked to be at the Marie Shriver’s Annual Woman’s Conference this October. Is this a wise candidate to attend this conference?

Well don’t forget Shriver did invite Scientology cultists Kelly Preston and John Travolta. But it has just been announced that they have since backed out and will not be attending due to it being too soon after their son Jett’s death.

I can’t decide whether Scientology would be glad or happy about this current announcement. Of course going public with grief if you are a Scientologists is a big no-no and VERY low on their Tone Scale. (0.5 out of 40). But maybe not talking about it is better in the eyes of the cult? Or perhaps by backing out and saying they are still healing is showing proof that Scientology’s tech and auditing simply don’t work? Well we all know what Scientology’s defense would be to their tech not working… they would say it’s John and Kelly’s fault and they “pulled it in”. Sad but true.
People Magazine reported that Kelly’s comment was:

 ”It is with my sincere apologies that I must pull out from speaking at the conference. I am sorry, but I truly believed that I could do it. Otherwise I never would have said that I could. But I am still deeply in the process of healing, and it’s just too soon.”

And what about Kate being asked to be Shriver’s Conference?  She is famous now for being a reality show bitch, and using her children to rake in the dough. Is Kate going to talk about how tough it is to go through a divorce when she in fact was a big  part of the problem? Let’s not forget that Shriver asked Kate to be on the forum because her daughters were fans of Jon and Kate Plus 8. I wonder if her daughters are still fans now, and if Shriver regrets inviting her? Nice move Shriver!

So between Kate Gosselin and Kelly Preston being asked to do the conference, I think Shriver must be losing her damn mind.

What gems of knowledge can Kate Gosselin offer to this Conference that would be worth a damn? Is she going to dare tell people how hard it is to raise her children? Even though she has nannies, maids and more help than you can shake a stick at? Why not invite a single mother trying to raise her kids and make ends meet who is on welfare to speak at the Conference? Not THAT is a real struggle. I am sure someone in that position would have a lot more advice to lend about coping with life.

I digress…
So back to The View. Perhaps Hasselbeck is not only busy making babies, (how many tots will this holy roller be pumping out?) but maybe she is also busy defending allegations of plagiarism in an upcoming lawsuit. You see she wrote a book (she suffers from celiac disease) a while back called The G-Diet, but Susan Hasset claims that Hassselbeck plagiarized her book, which was written a year earlier. Oh I can’t wait to see the outcome of this one. Hasselbeck’s daddy is a lawyer too, so will Dad be helping her out of this jam?

A snipette from US Magazine on Gosselin’s apperance :

The reality TV mom of eight will occupying the seat of regular co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who is out on maternity leave after giving birth to her third child, Isaiah, earlier this month.

The View has a lot of nerve asking the likes of Kate to fill in and I refuse to lists the dates she is going to be on. I can think of a lot of better suited candidates to fill in. Although I don’t consider their recent pick of having the Blagojevichs on the show a smart move either, to say the least. I am not going to open that can of (alleged) corrupt worms!

The thought of them paying Kate Gosselin who some people think is guilty of child abuse for what she put her kids through, to sit and chat about current events, is despicable. And paying the Blagojevichs? Totally maddening. Who’s next? Scott Peterson? How about OJ? Talk about ratings!
Sometimes you have to put ratings aside and decide you are not going to further slime ball’s careers.

At the very least, I guess some ”Viewers” will get a breather from Hasselbeck’s idiotic, whiny babbling for a bit. 
So to the prodcers of The View… SHAME ON YOU!

Sexy Times Can Make You Fat

I really, really, REALLY, wanted to avoid this topic. While it is just BEGGING to be picked apart for all of the inherent hypocrisies, (for example Gov. Palin is a staunch believer in teaching abstinence-only in schools – but apparently not at home) I did promise not to be a part of the finger-pointing brigade, but I can’t keep my concerns quiet.

Unless you’ve been hiding from endangered polar bears in an Alaskan cave, then you are certainly aware of the controversy surrounding Alaska Governor Sarah Palin who is now the GOP VP nominee. Palin announced earlier this week that her eldest daughter, Bristol, is five months pregnant and will keep her baby and wed the baby’s father, Levi Johnston. Ok, that’s reasonable. Unplanned babies happen to even the best (or in the case of the Spears) the worst of families. It really isn’t my place to judge their decision, although I do have some concerns about how her family dealt with the realities of conception BEFORE they were put in that position. Palin has stated that “Christian values” are at the core of her belief system, so it’s only fair to point out the obvious. Isn’t it a no-no to have sex before marriage? I am not judging, just asking.

So, if this difficult family matter wasn’t enough, we now have celebs adding their two cents into the matter.

Sadly, celebrities and politics intertwine more than they should, but when I heard that Jamie Lynn Spears and her mother Lynne Spears have reached out to the Palin family in their time of need, I thought, “Oh gee, just what the McCain/Palin campaign needs….the Spears factor.”

So why in heaven’s name do we need the train wreck of Jamie Lynn Spears, a Nickelodeon teen star whose popular show “Zoey 101″ geared towards tweens, throwing her clown nose into this ten-ring circus for? Here’s the scoop:

Teenage mom Jamie Lynn Spears has sent troubled Alaskan 17-year-old Bristol Palin a baby gift package following the scandal surrounding her pregnancy.

Spears, who revealed she was pregnant last Christmas — when she was just 16 — feels a kinship to Palin, the daughter of Republican Vice Presidential hopeful Sarah Palin, and decided to show her support by sending designer baby burpcloths.

The Palin family confirmed reports their eldest daughter Sarah was pregnant shortly after the Alaskan governor was picked as Senator John McCain’s running mate in the upcoming presidential election.

“Access Hollywood” has revealed Jamie Lynn’s mother Lynne Spears called Los Angeles baby boutique Petit Tresor on her daughter’s behalf to order a small gift.

A store insider explains Lynne and Jamie Lynn wanted to send a gift worth under $100 to Bristol, and chose a collection of Plain Mary white burp cloths with pink writing.

The note attached to the gift read, “Dear Bristol, Hang in there … xoxo, Jamie Lynn.”

First of all, if I were a famous person, I’d stop buying stuff from Petit Tresor. They are nosy busy-bodies who can’t keep their snooty-mouths shut. Secondly, can we as a country stop glamorizing this teen unwed mother crap? Please? I am begging you. As a mother of two small kids and two grown step-kids this is NOT the impression I want to send to my children. Parenting is a very difficult job regardless of income and status. Children require tons of time, effort and patience. They get sick, they need infinite love and guidance and most of all, they really need the maturity that comes with age and experience.

While I am not suggesting there aren’t many success stories of single, unwed mothers, or teen mothers who are forced to marry their baby-daddies due to political pressure, the odds are stacked against them.

Children who are in high school should be focusing on their education and their future, not raising unplanned babies. But of course, I believe in a little thing called teaching abstinence to teens, REINFORCING those values at home, and as a necessary back up, providing them hands-on sex-education that includes information about reliable contraception.

Heck they even had that stuff back in the stone age when I was a teen. Sheesh, who would have thought a social liberal would end up having more conservative values than Christian evangelicals?

Well, not to quibble, but yes, Dina…you do have a choice.  However, I don’t expect you to make the “Responsible Caring Nurturing Parent Who Doesn’t Whore Their Children Out To The Spotlight” choice.  Really, it would destroy all the preconceived notions I have about you.

Pimp Mama ShizLoLo talked about the upcoming reality show featuring her “other” daughter, Ali (oh yeah, and Mama will be in it, too, did you expect anything less?):

Dina, 45, tells PageSix.com that they decided to do a reality show because, “… we have no choice. Tabloids and reality shows are not going away. If they know who Ali is as a person, it’s better.” [...]

Although Lindsay may be making a few cameos on the show, Dina insists, “Lindsay has her own career. It’s about Ali.”

Last month, Ali told Teen Vogue, “I grew up watching Lindsay. It made me want to do what she does… I want it so bad. So bad you don’t even know.”

Although big sis Lindsay has been through the Hollywood ringer this year, Ali has no reservations about being in the spotlight, telling PageSix.com, “I’m so excited.”

In fact, the Mean Girls star had some advice for little sister Ali. Ali tells PageSix.com that Lindsay told her, “Stay strong. Don’t let rumors tear you apart. Don’t let anybody bring you down.”

That’s the same kind of generic crap we used to write in our friends’ high school yearbooks.  Can’t she come up with something better than a line stolen off a lucite keychain at All For $1?

I thought perhaps Dina would have learned to keep her children out of the spotlight after observing what happened to her eldest child, but then I remembered it was Dina Whoreherchildrenoutasfastasshecanhan, and my sanity returned, as if somebody suddenly dopeslapped me hard on the back of the head.  Which is exactly what Dina needs.

Once Ali’s usefulness to Dina is exhausted (as Lindsay’s is), wonder if she’ll start in on the boys?  My guess is they wouldn’t look as good in a topless photoshoot.  But seriously…if Ali became an adult and then decided she wanted to pursue an acting career, then she could go for it and it would be a totally different thing.  But the girl is fourteen years old!  Whatever happened to, “No!”?

Oh wait.
