This Just Gets Creepier So You Know I Will Watch


So was anyone else watching E! last night? Did you happen to notice Ryan Seacrest doing an E! news update like this was CNN and the world was going to end if we didn't get a 15 second update on the top two stories of the day according to E!. The stories we would care about the most. In this 15 second span, Ryan mentioned the Britney teaching the kids thing, and then spent the other half of his 15 seconds saying the following. "And Denise Richards will star in a brand new show for E!"

I was almost willing to give him the benefit of the doubt when I finished writing yesterday, but to present the fact that Denise Richards starring in a reality show is one of the top stories of the day is a f**king joke. If you want to promote the show, then make a promo and play it, don't pretend like it is a news story. Second, don't have the guy who is going to make the most money off the show stand up and tell the world that it is a top news story without saying something about the fact that he is going to make a lot of money.

If you were watching a show and a reporter came on and said that so and so company was going to become the world leader in producing widgets without telling you also that they owned stock in that company that would potentially be a violation of the law. If this was a promotion I wouldn't care, but to present it as a news story when you have a piece of the action seems seemly.

Now for the creepy part. I guess Denise figures that having an overly protective semi-creepy dad is the way to make it big in Hollywood today. So, our future Love Boat Cruise Director has decided as part of the show that she will have her dad Irving Richards move in with her during the filming. Why would he move in? "I come with a lot of baggage... He wants to find me a husband... There's gotta be some guys out there... Irv's in charge this time.

"My dad's going to be a big part of the show. [It's about] my father moving into my chaos and he and I helping each other pick up the pieces."

So, dad is the one in charge of finding her a guy. Presumably at some point he will judge their form and make sure that his daughter is satisfied in all aspects of the relationship. What is the deal with having your dad pick out boyfriends? Why is that appealing? Am I the only one who gets creeped out by these dads picking out boyfriends for their celebrity daughters?

  1. Am I the only one who finds it ironic that the former call girl is now having a man come in to find her a new john, I mean husband?

  2. sons picking dates for moms on that other show is strange too. introducing people you know is ok but choosing random strangers?

  3. I met a guy over the weekend who claimed to "know" Denise. He said she's as crazy as Ent makes her out to be.
    He did confirm that Charlie has a problem with Porn.

    I wonder how much longer it will be before someone turns up with proof that she was a callgirl?

  4. Daddy finding his daughter a date, hmmm where have I heard that before?

    Change the dad to a mom and white to black and you have the I LOVE NY show.

  5. Off-topic (because I couldn't give two sh*ts about DR) Has any of you watched that show Millionaire Matchmaker? I watched some of it last night for the first time. It's weird but that lady reminds me of Heidi Fleiss. But I kinda like her crazy ass (the matchmaker, not the madam).

  6. I havent seen the show Rebecca but I have seen the commercials. I have one question. What is that cat doing on top the matchmaker's head?

  7. Rebecca, I've watched the show a couple of times. That woman is obnoxious and like any good trainwreck crazy ass (as you said), I'll be watching anytime I accidentally stumble across the show. I can't stop staring at her hair. LOL.

    I like the other NYC matchmaker show better, I think it's on Lifetime. This guy even used his wife to meet guys on the street to hook-up with one of his clients. The host guy has a face full of Botox or some kind of work. He's crazy-fun to watch.

  8. She is definitely obnoxious... the way she treats her employees. I haven't seen the NYC matchmaker. I just stumbled upon Millionaire hoping to catch Project Runway... I always forget which day the new episodes come on.

  10. Those poor children. I still can't understand why you would want to exploit your kids in a reality show. If I were a celeb I'd want to shelter them from the limelight until they were old enough to choose it for themselves.

  11. just wondering.....how much do the kids earn when doing the reality shit?

  12. I found Millionaire Matchmaker too! Those guys on there have some serious issues. The women too! It's interesting in that train wreck kind of way. I like the lady with the cat on her head. She's straight up, that's for sure.

  15. You took the words outta my hands, Majik. And who TF watches E! anyway?

  16. The only show Denise Richards belongs in is a donkey show in Tijuana. Or perhaps, being more charitable, sitting in one of those famous windows in Amsterdam and giving the come-on to passing guys. Oh wait - Amsterdam city council are closing those down. Sorry Denise, it's Tijuana for you...

    I do feel bad for her kids, though.
