It sucks they deleted the clip but I remember laughing myself hoarse when they showed the clip of Mama Hurley being seduced by a much younger woman and Whoopi rolled her eyes and did a stank face.
Brenda being accused of sleeping with the director for a part and her own brother not believing her takes the cake.
Brenda was actually one of the prudest girls on the show. She was only with 3 guys for 4 years. Kelly had slept with half of the student council by Season 1. Brandon was bringing girls into the Casa de Walsh every day but Brenda is the slut?
Katie had nothing to lose. The women black-balled her, Jennifer backstabbed her, she had missed out on too many episodes (not a good omen). The fans took her side but they also expected her to get a backbone and plead her case and she didn't do that. She should have gone full Monique so even if she got the chop, she'd vindicate herself at the reunion. Missed opportunity.
I remember when Shannon said Heather ghosted the entire cast after she left the first time and I probably think she'll pull the same stunt the 2nd time.
It doesn't seem like Heather gets along with any of the women. Chyna and Gina the Grinch are painfully jealous of her and are constantly badmouthing her, Heather seems like she's only friends with Tamra because Tamra has dirt on her, Miss Piggy and Heather are only cordial, Heather finds Shannon annoying and too dramatic but knows Shannon is popular so PR.
I would love to see Heather move to Beverly Hills.
Part of me doesn't really care because nobody really expects Juicy Joe to be an enlightened guy over gay issues but the way he treated the gay dance teacher, mocking him, even throwing a gay slur at him, and you could tell the dance teacher was bothered. The only person who said anything was Danielle, and she got attacked for that.
Caroline had a gay brother and she defended Juicy Joe. But no surprise given what she did to Dina.
Did you guys know George Cukor loved TRASH so much that he tried to get Holly Woodlawn to compete as Best Supporting Actress for it?
George Lucas once said Cukor hired him to wrap presents and he suspected Cukor had a fetish for that?
Cukor was also asked over Clark Gable getting him fired over Gone with the Wind for being gay. Cukor was a gentleman by choosing to stay mum on it but he made it pretty clear that he was still mad at Gable for having removed off the film. Cukor directed one of the best set pieces in the movie. the 12 Oaks sequence.
Season 6 was so embarrassing. Kemal and Craig gave me second hand embarrassment. Kemal was so catty and so obviously jealous of the girls and I got tired of hearing his constant temper tantrums and ridiculous fashion statements. Craig was the worst example of a gay guy in love with a straight guy. He was gagging for Anthony tok kiss him and kept humiliating himself for the slightest attention he could get from Anthony. I have no idea how those two lasted long.
Die With a Smile should have been announced as the lead single for Mayhem. Abracadabra should have been the 2nd single and released on a Friday instead of a Sunday. Also, Gaga needs to stop giving up on her albums whenever they don't sell as much as she expected. She did the same with Chromatica and Artpop. When the album fails to perform as expected, she stops promoting new singles and focuses only on the tour.
She came across as totally unhinged. Yes, Coolio did go out of his way to bully her but she was a raging bitch to everybody else and then her meltdown after she got booted out.
She already had shown signs to not be in a good mood on Come Dine With Me.
Darren Star was a huge fan of the Helen Lawson 70s pornos ("she was a classic movie star going down on Harry Reems in a Travilla chiffon dress? How could I not Luv Her?") so when he found Helen Lawson buying coke on Party City, he knew he found the perfect actress to play University College professor Lucinda.
Helen Lawson was so excited that she even started wearing underwear again. She had a massive makeover to make herself look much younger ("that Claudette Colbert hairdo did me no favors. I looked like Bea Arthur after a bender and who wants top f*ck Bea Arthur? Nell Carter and nobody else"). Everything was going well until executives started to think Helen was too old. They wanted Brando Walsh to be with a sexier, older woman, but Helen Lawson looked more like she was getting beauty advice from Gabrielle Carteris. No matter how much she tried to look young, she still came across as unhinged grandma who fled the old folks home in Santa Monica. So Helen decided she needed to prove herself and boy, she did, by doing a Playboy Cover wearing soiled panties and her boobs out, announcing herself as the new slut in Beverly Hills 90210. "Tiffany Thiessen, look at those fresh pancakes. You ain't baking them!!").
Instant backlash came, parents group did street marches saying they didn't want that heathen evil woman on TV, Helen Lawson's house was raided by the cops with a nude Helen found in the pool with her legs stretched out as Liza Minnelli's "Maybe This Time" was being heard in the gramophone. Darren Star and a weeping Tori Spelling (pretending to be her dad) begged the network to not cancel the show, the one episode with Helen which goty aired was destroyed, with the following episode getting an intro of why they redid the episode with Dina Meyer ("That bitch can't even act!!! I saw Dragonheart and I wanted to throw up on Julie Christie's godawful wig") and Helen was thrown out of the studio....again. She was over but she'll crawl her way back to Hollywood one day and next time, no booze and drugs. Public Access called, they want a TV Special and Charo said she'd do it for free. Ka-.ching!!!
I remember her getting a lot of attention when she did a collab with Tinie Tempah and she was popular enough that just her threat of quitting made it possible for Keisha to get fired. Yet after Sugababes ended, it was Amelle Who, Amelle where. I think even Heidi had a bit of success by doing Reality TV and Jade Ewen had the West End to fall back on.
Cyndi always said A Night to Remember was a career disaster for her but she still got a top 10 hit from that era with "I Drove All Night". A poor selection of singles is what hurt the album. She should have picked "Insecurious" and "I Don't Want To Be Your Friend" are follow-up singles.
Her music became less Pop and more alternative. The problem was that the alternative music she released sucked. Sorry for the fans of Sisters of Avalon and Sally's Pigeons but she wasn't getting a hit from that genre.
World of Stone was huge in France, though.
She leaves him for Brandon which led Dylan to go into a self-destructive downspiral and when he finally finds some happiness with Toni, she has a massive temper tantrum. Like, Colin is right there next to her, did she forget she had a boyfriend?
One of the most deserving Oscar wins, Cate Blanchett is just extraordinary in this movie. I miss when movies weren't afraid to have an unlikable woman as the lead and Jasmine is a total bitch in Blue Jasmine: deceitful, arrogant, self-absorbed, a liar. Even when she's unfairly blamed, I can't feel bad for her because she's a rotten person but Blanchett plays this woman in such a tragicomic way that I can't stop being fascinated by her.
Blanchett did Tar and played another foul woman. She's so good at playing bitches.
The Countess gave her three number 1 songs and 2 top 5 hits. That album was massive. Instead she returns to BEP where Will I Am had more solos than her so she was playing second fiddle in that group. Sure, BEP had a lot of success with THE BEGINNING but it did hurt Fergie's solo career. When she released her second solo album, the hype was gone.
Die My Love, like Mother!, isn't a easy watch. Some might find it confusing. I came into this movie expecting a more straightforward drama (possibly thriller) and it became an almost surreal, nonlinear film about post partum depression (I think).
I didn't like Die My Love as much as Mother! but Jennifer Lawrence is excellent in this. She really delivers a fearless performance, a character whom we don't know if we love or hate. But the movie is not for everyone and it isn't as accessible as Lynne Ramsay's We Need To Talk About Kevin.
If you liked Mother!, you might like this. Mother! is more watchable and engaging.
