Anyone else watching this horrible show? I haven't been doing it on purpose, but it some how just comes on my TV.

I don't understand how he could have dated her for 2 years and still wanted to marry her. I think I would have killed her on the first date with all her whining!

Yeah, and she's dumber than a bag of rocks. However, he appears to be something of a control freak so I can understand how someone that pliable could appear to be attractive. I also think they got married so they could have sex since she loudly and publicly proclaimed her virginity for all who wanted to hear. Even at their wedding, the minister says something like "Jessica is wearing white today and she's allowed to wear white because she made a promise to herself and God that she would be a virgin on her wedding night." I mean, jesus, that's a bit skeevy to have your minister proclaim your virginity to your wedding guests. I kept expecting to see a shot of bloodied sheets hanging over a balcony somewhere the day after their wedding.

That is indeed disturbing. I'm trying to imagine a place where they still think only virgins can wear white. ...And I'm done.

I've had the misfortune to see five minutes of it here and there that has ended up on my tapes. That is one vapid couple. Almost impressively so.

With the whole virginity thing I'm not quite sure if I feel bad for having her personal business all over the media or if it's some kind of ridiculous publicity stunt. Either way it seems to have gotten out of control.

I don't think you should feel bad about Veda, since she mentions it every chance she gets.

Its very very odd. But kind of funny. Kinda like, well maybe if you didn't open your mouth so much, you might have gotten laid before. Okay, maybe not given a lot of guy's standards..but damn dude. I'd freakin have her gagged and not allowed to come out until she learns how to fold clothes.

Or at least locates the hamper.

I must wonder, how the hell do you spend $750 on two bras and two pairs of panties. What are they made out of - human skin?

Ew. You're (delightfully) gross.

I always think that about expensive clothes. Are they made out of gold? Do they have a hard drive?

The price does seem outrageous especially considering they are probably made in sweatshops and must cost $10.00 to actually make. It's designer underwear right? I mean if you can pay $10,000 for a dress that has a designer label on $325.00 for a bra and panty set can't seem like that much.

There's a spread on Jessica in this week's TV Guide, the whole gist of which is trying to figure out if Jessica is really that dumb. It's headlined by a priceless picture of her and Nick hugging, with a cartoon bubble emanating from her mouth: "Why were there mouses?"

And it features Jessica's father, a contender for the World's Top Defense With No Actual Defense Properties.



The above was brought to you by funding from the Non Sequitur Foundation.

Personally, I think she's the emblem of everything men have said about women for hundreds of years, which until now I thought fictional. She's crying out to be the first makeover subject on Queer Eye for the Straight Girl... in which five friendly dykes rush in and teach her how to fix her garage door opener, how to pitch a tent, how to go outside without makeup.

My new favorite Jessica-ism is her refusal to eat buffalo wings because she doesn't eat buffalo. When her brother-in-law asks her why she never wondered where they came from since buffalos don't have wings, she just shrugged her shoulders and said "I didn't htink about it." Yeah, Jessica doesn't do much thinking. If she thinks that food is always named after the animal it comes from than turkey dogs must really be throwing her for a loop.

I watched a little of tonight's episode (the end-of-tape excess), and I see that this show is just as much a tool for MTV's wack-ass editing as the Bunim-Murray shows are. They show establishing shots of Sunset Boulevard, but then suddenly Nick and Jessica are eating in Brother's Barbeque down in Soho. I know this because it was a haunt when I worked two blocks away. I rubbed my eyes, figured I was just imagining things. But I know the difference between New York and L.A., and more than that, I know my rec center, which is across the street. Sure enough, the next scene begins with Jessica saying, "I'm going to go to New York."

So clearly the conversation in which Nick offers to decorate the house happens after Jessica leaves for New York (or, heck, on some other trip to New York months before or after); whereas the show gives the impression not only that it happens before, but that Nick doesn't go to New York himself, staying behind to implement his decorating plans.

Really, though, the most disturbing thing is that they invaded my turf. Such a good restaurant. So sad.

I wonder if she was willing to eat the hush puppies while she was there.

Nick and Jessica use a Tivo!

Well, they don't seem bright enough to program a VCR.

Also, eej, if you notice, after they have Jessica VO that Nick shouldn't do any decorating while she's gone, Nick turns and goes into the house and some of the pictures are already hung. So, the whole timeline is confusing.

I did enjoy watching those two boys trying to get that cabinet into the house. I don't know why but that part of being a male is really adorable to me, the way they're always jerry-rigging things. I was convinced that cabinet was going to go crashing to the ground and was almost as happy as they were that they got it into the house.

"Do you have it?"
"No."
"Do you have it, now?"
"No."
And then Nick just ignores him and goes running to the second floor, leaving his poor brother stranded, holding his really heavy cabinet.

Yeah, that was mental. I thought it was going to go down in the history of Top Ten Stupid Things Men Do. Although, come to think of it, I tend to do a bit of tinkering and crazy scheming myself. "Okay, I'll stick tape to the end of this ruler, and then I'll hang over the edge..." One summer I put a bowl of ice cubes in front of the fan to see if it would make a difference.

Haha. So true.

Man is he one passive aggressive SOB.

I enjoyed this, from an article about the show getting picked up for a second season:

This week's TV Guide reports that Bravo is in talks to create, you guessed it, Queer Eye for the Straight Girl. I want royalties, dammit.

I suspect they're going to ruin my perfect concept by having the same five guys perform the makeovers.

You know all of you are sickening, you haven't even met Jessica, EVER, or Nick, so before you start dissing them, meet them. Because none of you know how the hell they really are. Yeah she can be annoying to him SOME times, know why? HE'S 7 YEARS OLDER THEN HER Everyone is immature and annoying some point in their life. So who the hell cares? NO ONE. So meet them before oyu diss them, and don't even diss them after you meet them, because that's just plain ASS Got it? Goodbye!

Hi, Jessica. Nice of you to drop by. Your spelling is better than I thought it would be.

Hahahahaha. Wow.

hahahahahahaha.

Thats good comedy there, y0. I needed my filling of dumb since the season has ended. Bring on season 2!!

I know its bad to feed the trolls, but we have so few.

That was just plain weird. Funny, but weird. Bye Princess, drop by some other time, you're amusing.

Nick Lachey gets a recurring role on Charmed. Granted, that show is ridiculous. But he's to play a writer. Well, that's a... casting... choice.

Huh. Never thought of him as the actor type. I wonder if he can act, he seems like he'd be very stiff.

And how about Jessica's sister getting a reality show now too?

Fortunately for Nick, being able to act isn't a prerequisite for being cast on Charmed.

He might be able to act, in a limited capacity. He seems funny and amiable as himself, so if he played a character close to himself, it might not be too bad. Though the clips of the variety show I saw looked like a car wreck.

I found myself feeling sorry for them after the papperazti (sp?) episode. A little anyway.

I did too. What the paparazzi do (and magazines like US Weekly perpetuate) is awful and no one deserves to be treated that way. I don't care if they have their own TV show and do press; that's their job, and it used to be that Hollywood stars could do those things and yet still go home and have a private life. These are new forces intruding, and they're gross and wrong. The stars should be in control of what part of their lives is work and what time is carved out to be normal in; instead, every minute and every inch is considered the property of others.

Wanting to be a singer or an actor and succeeding in it doesn't mean you forfeit your life. Bottom line, these people are actual people. Just as I'd never want it to happen to any of you or to me if we climbed up in the world, I don't want it to happen to anyone else.
