Isn't This Why They Should Use Models? - I think I have told everyone here before that I read a lot of magazines. Included in those are Vogue and W and Elle and one thing I have noticed is that more and more all of these magazines that were the big "gets" for models are more often than not going to celebrities in order to sell magazines. Well, the above cover is from a past issue of Vogue with Sienna Miller on the cover. Apparently there was a documentary crew who filmed the entire process of putting together the cover. In it, they admit that this photo of Sienna's face was superimposed on a different photo of her body and that she was airbrushed until she was almost unrecognizable from the woman at the shoot. Then why would you even use her? Find someone you are happy with. Show real people with real blemishes. Be the first to do it and when those sales start climbing, maybe the others will follow.
So Much For The Theory That People Don't Find Him Attractive - Yesterday I wrote about Russell Brand and how he likes to maintain a nice steady 80 women a month that he has sex with. Most of your comments were that people would be idiots to do so. Apparently Miss Great Britain is an idiot too because she and Russell spent the night together, or in his case ten minutes because he had to find someone else to have sex with before breakfast. I guess Miss Great Britain could just say she did it because she wants to keep up the morale of all British men.
Hey That V Thing Did Well Right? Remember that mini-series V which was on NBC back in the day about some aliens? Well, ABC decided that it would be a great series and so ordered a pilot for that. Oh, and you remember that movie Witches Of Eastwick which came out about the same time? Yeah, ABC thought that would be a great idea for a show also and so ordered a pilot of that. Umm, is there really nothing else out there? When is ALF coming back? NBC also did the whole 80's thing by ordering what is being billed as The Wonder Years of the 80's.
Thank god for cable
ReplyDelete"V" was already a series on NBC. Starring the great Michael Ironside....
ReplyDeleteIf they brought back Alf that would be the greatest thing to happen to TV. Ever.
ReplyDeleteWell....and if they canceled Denise Richard's show. And the Kardashians. And the City. And the Hills. And Brody Jenner's Broma--oh wait, they did that already.
ReplyDeleteBaby steps people, baby steps.
ok 90210 i can deal with, but if they dare fuck with my precious My So called Life, imma cut a bitch.
ReplyDeleteEnty, sad to say, I think they've already tried using "real" people as models and it always flops. Even the Dove real women are not exactly unattractive.
ReplyDeleteRB was with Miss GB a couple of nights ago, and then there were shots of him leaving a club with two reasonably attractive chicks under his arm yesterday. I don't think he was lying about the p*#$y he gets.
Ugh. No more remakes.
Let me know when they bring back the best show evah.....Quantum Leap.
ReplyDeleteMajik, I know many people who are still very bitter over the way Q.L. ended.
ReplyDeletei agree with you about magazines ad i want more remakes of 80's tv shows! fuck real tv!
ReplyDeleteMooshki, how did it end. For some reason I missed the ending.
ReplyDeleteI loved V. My brother and I would gross each other out by threatening to eat live mice. (not that there were any around.)
ReplyDeleteWhy don't the networks do more to keep the shows they've got instead of cancelling new shows after only one episode or one season? I loved Dirty, Sexy, Money. Blair Underwood was never hotter. Damn.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the deal with Ugly Betty being put on the backburner? Usually a network pulls that crap right before cancelling a show. They just moved to NYC for filming. I don't get it.
Sylvia, I didn't watch the show, but I think people were pissed that he never got home.
ReplyDeleteI'm still pissed that they cancelled Eli Stone.
ReplyDeleteV was a favorite of ours. the mini-series featured a sweet, mild mannered alien that helped bring down the alien forces, his name was willy. he was played by a young robert englund. oh, and i have it for posterity on VHS. i know, i know.
ReplyDeleteand they can only bring back quantum leap if they bring back the original actors. LOVED QL.
only reason Witches was any good was nicholson.
Is NBC really ordering anything right now? After the New Year bloodbath there, nothing's moving. Everything's on hold.
ReplyDeleteSienna, please fix those damn God-awful eyebrows, for chrissakes. I know it's an old cover. It's still annoying.
ReplyDelete1)You wanna see fug? Check out the French Vogue that's all about moddle Lara Stone. W.T.F?
ReplyDelete2) I'm hoping it comes out that it was a publicity stunt, or that she was paid. Otherwise, she has no excuse.
3) I think Joss Whedon is working on a new series - if true there's hope yet.
ALF-Yes!
ReplyDeleteand Wings.
I'd settle for a 2 hour
reunion movie if they're still alive and kicking.
Joss W. doesn't have such a great track record with execs at Fox.They sceerewed
him on Firefly, hope they give him more rope with Dollhouse.
c17, they've had to reshoot Joss's 'Dollhouse' pilot twice, so I'm a bit worried about it already. On the other hand, Fox really is doing a fair amount of publicity for it, and given what they've already invested in it I don't think they'll cancel it prematurely this time. (Fingers crossed!) Viva la originalité!
ReplyDeleteENTY, they do this with everyone, model or not -- airbrushing, elongating legs, etc.
ReplyDeleteWhat an exhausting life Russel Brand leads -- that's an awfully ambitious plan he's trying to maintain. What does he do if he's 10 off the mark for that month? It's like trying to pick the same number of bushels of apples a day... Ay, I'm tired just thinking about it.
