Quick Hits
Ashlee Is Our Conscience - Although I think it is great that Ashlee Simpson is sticking up for her sister and all the negative weight comments that were directed towards Jessica, I also think that saying the world should only be focused on things like the new President is reaching just a little bit. I did say when I posted the photo of Jessica Simpson that I thought she looked good weight wise and curve wise, but I think everyone can agree the outfit was horrendous. I also think that Ashlee needs to be very careful because she and her family are some of the most shallow people around and I bet you anything that Joe was on the phone to Jessica tearing into her for wearing what she did, but according to Ashlee he should have been focused on our new President. I hate when celebrities do the whole "I am so involved in the world and deep, weighty issues" thing. It drives me insane. Also, Ashlee, in case you didn't notice, everyone was done with the story and photos and now so we can comment on you, everyone is posting them all over again.
Joaquin Phoenix Is Just Making Me Dislike Him More - At this point I don't care if his rap career or retirement from acting is a hoax or not. I really don't care. The only thing I wish is that he would go away for awhile. He is really starting to get on my nerves. It just seems that we are getting this whole thing shoved down our throats constantly. Fine, if it is a hoax you got us. You had us convinced. Now shut up about it and just release the documentary. If it isn't a hoax than, shut up about it. You said you wanted to retire from acting and to get away from all the attention and press. Then go. Go away.
My Life Would Suck Without You - Well it is a catchy title for a song and apparently the rest of the US agrees that Kelly Clarkson's song is really, really good. Either that or she bought herself a whole bunch of copies. The song which was number 97 last week will be number one tomorrow which makes it the biggest jump in the 50 year history of the chart and also makes me really suspicious. Why? Because it is only getting medium play on radio stations which means not a lot of people are calling to request it. Also, on the main top 40 list it is still stuck down in the low teens.
regarding jessica, poor girl. i don't think any of us can imagine that kind of humiliation, esp. when brought upon by one's own self. yay for ashlee sticking up for her, but she's such a douche that it's all going to fall on deaf ears.
ReplyDeletejoaquin needs to disappear.
regarding kelly, come on enty, don't act like you don't know payola is alive and well in general market.
Did anyone see that cartoon in the Post? That is beyond fucked up and mean. Yes, the outfit is shiteous and whoever let her go on stage (or out in public) should be flogged and doused with rubbing alcohol. It didn't flatter her shape. The girl is not fat by any stretch of the imagination but I guess she is Hollywood fat. I'd rather look like her instead of bony ass Lohan. I feel bad for her. I didn't give much of a shit yesterday but after seeing that cartoon, I really feel bad for her.
ReplyDeleteBye! Good
ReplyDeleteto all of them.
Awww Kelly is good. Maybe some payola was involved but the song is pretty catchy. She is still the best out of all the Idol alum.
ReplyDeleteEnt, were you afraid of copying Michael K.? I think the best part of the story is that Ashlee pulled a J.Love: "How can we expect teenage girls to love and respect themselves in an environment where we criticize a size 2 figure?" Implying that Jessica is a size 2 just reinforces the problem.
ReplyDeleteIs Nigel Lythgoe still getting a piece of Kelly's profits? Sounds like his kind of maneuvering.
Also, anyone else get a sudden urge to re-watch "Josie and the Pussycats?"
ReplyDeletean jacka$$ dj on K-rock yesterday called JS ENORMOUS. enormous. i mean, the outfit sucked, but enormous?
ReplyDeleteThe girl has gained some weight...omg its the end of the world as we know it!!! So what?? I know most people think JS is a bimbo, but seriously...who of us has never said something that we instantly think...wow did i just say that? If she could get away from that sick dad of hers, and just be, I think her rep would improve...I hope so anyways.
ReplyDeleteKelly Clarkson dumped the whole Idol contract as soon as it was legally possible. She ain't no dummy.
ReplyDeleteBimbo is not fat just a little overweight compared to how she was before. I notice that she was overweight in her arm area in one of the pictures that was posted this week. And yes her outfit didn't help at all.
ReplyDeleteRegarding her idiot sister how many times has these two plastic girls done surgery on their face/body.
I'm with Mooshki - Ashlee jumped the shark when she referred to Jessica as a size 2. I do feel bad for Jessica, she does not know how to dress for her figure and often does herself a disservice. She is not fat by any stretch, but the outfit was horrendous. And the cartoon in the post is in very bad taste - shame on them for running something so callous.
ReplyDeletethe ny post is a rag. i wouldn't use it to throw out leftovers.
ReplyDeletei couldn't find the cartoon, but did see this:
http://www.nypost.com/seven/01272009/news/nationalnews/jessica_is_a_big_star_152217.htm
and then they wonder why women have eating disorders.
I feel sorry for Jessica because she is trying to make a living the only way she was ever taught. We all have to eat and have shelter. It's sad, this is all she knows. I like stories like child actor Jeff Cohen (Chunk from Goonies) who went on to become an Ent Lawyer and make a living instead of a life of drug abuse and trying to be a country singer.
ReplyDeleteNo sorry, the best part of the Ashley thing was how she goes on about how we should teach girls to love themselves, however they are and self esteem...blah, blah...SHE IS PLASTIC....she had a nose job and lips and eyes and totally changed her look....She is full of shit

ReplyDeletehere is the link to the cartoon .. although I am not a big JessSimp fan, I do know a thing or two about yo yo dieting and the ups and downs of my pants sizes. I feel bad for her, not for the outfit, but for not knowing that the outfit sucked wind!
Ah Jennifer, I couldnt agree with you more... What went through her head before she posted that?
ReplyDeleteAnd I can only say I agree with all of you. Jessica looked like a bobble head when she was super skinny before, now I really like her.
but you know what Jen, if she's happy who cares? i think thats the point here. as women we need to stick together instead of tearing each other down. if Ashlee needed a nose job to feel better about ehr self then go for it. i'm not against plastic surgery for the right person or the right reasons.
ReplyDeletewomen should have the right to eat a lil and gain a lil and not be burned at the stake over it. Tony loves it, she's happy..we need to just let the girl be in love and do her thing.
but for fucks sake girl, get a stylist who knows how to dress big boobs and some curves.
SOUEEE SOUEEE CALL
ReplyDeleteHer sister did pull a JLove. I think Jessica has just totally gone downhill since her divorce. Nick probably would never let her out of the house in the hideous outfit. I really think the double belts was to hold in the tummy flab. She has underarm flab, she probably has tummy flab as well. You can tell she is not very toned. She is not fat by average standards but she is by Hollywood standards. If she dressed in more flattering clothes we probably would have never noticed.
ReplyDeleteJessica still looks beautiful to me.
ReplyDeleteAt 44 I hate looking the mirror anymore. So you know what? I said fuck it and stopped looking!
Live. Eat. Drink. Smoke. Exercise if it feels good. Enjoy sex with a real man who likes how a real woman feels...
...and die happy, skidding into the grave with a killer buzz on!!!
And good one, Sassafras!
ReplyDeletemerrick, thnx for the link.
ReplyDeletethat's just cruel.
One of my favorite quotes:
ReplyDelete"Stay fit. Eat well. Die anyway."
To add to Pookie's comment about Joaquin, and take a shower!
ReplyDeleteAt least Jessica looks healthy. There's more of her to love (for Tony of course), and that's perfectly okay. Better to look like Jessica than some of these emaciated young girls.
I wonder how many of the female posters in this thread can claim to be Jessica's size or smaller? I can't. Something tells me that I'm not the only one.
ReplyDeleteIf Jessica Simpson is fat, then I must be Shamu. I don't care for her (or Ashlee, for that matter) but it's ridiculous to call her fat when she looks pretty average to me. She may be obnoxious and downright stupid, but fat she ain't.
ReplyDeleteSass- I love me some Chunk!! He is one of my all time favorite characters.
ReplyDeleteFunny, the NYPOST cartoons are usually spot on. That one was a little mean but it's what everyone is blogging about today.
i'm smaller than she is, but i don't think she's fat. so she's more pounds than she was. she doesn't look sloppy or gross. it's the crappy clothes she's wearing that makes her look bad.
ReplyDeleteUgh, the more weight I lose the older I look.
ReplyDeletethe average size of women in america is either 12 or 14, i can't remember which one, but she's certainly not even a 12.
ReplyDeleteWell, this settles it. I can't seem to learn to make myself throw up, but I figure a 0-400 calorie a day diet should have me at a size 0in no time.
ReplyDelete1. Someone above me said Jessica was maybe "Hollywood Fat". Totally agree. Which means she now looks like a regular person. I just saw a clip of her two years ago and she was wee...she looks good now. More "womanly". Still don't like her and really, the outfit WAS hideous....
ReplyDelete2. Payola is when the label pays the stations to play the singles with the ultimate result of driving up sales--if Enty's right and she's only been getting medium play, then what's happening is NOT technically payola. Definitely shady, though--did the record company just buy a bunch of her singles to 'start the fire'? I've heard the song...it's not that great, really. U2's new single is much better (really, it grows on you...I hardly hear "Pump it Up" anymore at all!).
BrendaLove, I bet Gwyneth could give you some advice on doing that. Oh wait, I forgot that she pretends she eats.
ReplyDelete(One of the reasons I still like Posh - she at least admits that she barely touches food.)
ReplyDeleteHate to be a downer, But the kid who played Chunk died in his teens from complications of pneumonia.
ReplyDeleteOtherwise I agree that JS needs a stylist. If she has one she needs to fire that person
Jess: yes she's fat, but deserves plenty of criticism for the trashy dimestore hillbilly clothes.
ReplyDeleteJoaquin: sad that he's going down the same road as River. What a waste.
Kelly: it's a perfect pop song! Nobody listens to radio anymore. The digital charts are a true reflection of what people are listening to.
chucky-baby, you're full of shit, that's an infamous urban myth.
ReplyDeletejess may have briefly been a size two when she did "dukes" but her work-out regime was intense. and she sure as hell wasn't a 2 on top. she's also pretty short, IIRC, so i'll let ashley slide on that one point.
i've never been a 2 in my life, unless it had a 1 in front of it, and i was pretty athletic as a teen. AND high waisted pants were in style then, too. ick. but i loved platform shoes. don't get me started.
maybe chuck-baby isn't really full of shit. maybe chuck-baby just doesn't know it was an urban legend.
ReplyDeleteI bet $100 that 90% of internet people calling J Simpson a fatass are overweight or anorexic.
ReplyDeleteSassafrass - I agree with your kind words. Give Jess a break! I think she is a good role model. BTW - size 2, 4, 8 etc. is meaningless. All brands different.
ReplyDeleteJP used to have such gravitas. Get some help, dude, we want you back.
The reason that Kelly Clarkson jumped so high on the Billboard Hot 100 is that they look at both airplay AND digital downloads. She sold something like 290,000 mp3. Aren't you in the recording industry? And you don't know this?
