The best moment of last night’s season premier of My Life on the D-List was when this woman “broke the fourth wall” and couldn’t keep her eyes off the camera. Her clueless smile was priceless, one of my favorite reality TV moments ever. You can see it here starting around the three minute mark.
Seems like the general internet consensus about the episode is that Bette was a surprisingly big beyotch. Others think she was just sticking to her slightly scripted “role” in the show. I could see the truth going either way or both ways. It can be kind of faux-reality at times, so it’s hard to tell. Regardless, it was hilarious seeing the two of them together.
I love that Kathy took Bette to the Mermaids Casino as I’ve personally gotten sloshed there once before (although I was unaware of the deep-fried treats at the time, dammit). The cocktail waitresses come around faster than you can handle and are constantly shoving raffle tickets in your hands and forcing you to wear beads for no apparent reason. They make it seem like a good idea to stay. Why is it when you’re drunk in a city you don’t live, beads become some sort of precious gem you MUST have? Anyway, before you know it, you’re $100 poorer because you’ve been feeding video poker machines that are like 10% payout.
It’s good times.
I’ve been loving Ellen Degeneres’ bathroom concert series. Her performance with Jennifer Hudson just became one of my favorite YouTube clips ever.
I really wish J-Hud was going to performing ANYWHERE near Seattle for her tour. Alas, the closest she’s performing is Oakland. I’ll have to patiently wait for the next go-round.
It’s been so refreshing to see how she’s handled herself and her career in the wake of her family’s tragedy. She’s gotten out there to promote her work and has had emotional moments on stage (Grammy’s and Super Bowl National Anthem), but she’s made a point of keeping her experience as private as possible and hasn’t let anyone in the media exploit her tragedy for their gain.
And don’t even get me started on that voice.
