The View’s littlest mommy really let loose today, and dare I say, I kind of agree with her!
First of all – I LOVE Hannity & Colmes too – I just adore their “little arguments” full of lies and bias!
Okay, I kid. I may loathe Elisabeth, aka Mama Hasselbeck’s conservative ranting, but she definitely had a point about parenting. And I say this as an expert, as I am a 27 year old unmarried woman with NO CHILDREN. So, I know.
Her point was basically, if you have kids, don’t be a selfish douchebag that thinks with your dick (or in SOME case, vajayson).
Be a parent first. And in a world where Britney Spears is bringing her son on trips to a lingerie store, I’d personally rather grow up like Gracie than Sean Preston ANY day.
There’s nothing like a show with 12 year old scientists, future Presidents, and piano prodigies to make me feel like I haven’t done anything with my life. I don’t find these types of shows inspiring, I find them discouraging and I would ask Oprah to stop it. Stop trying to impress us with tiny geniuses. Do a show about someone older finding their calling at 50. Didn’t that happen to Mrs. Fields? What happened to her? Do me a favor Oprah and find her. Her cookies are delicious, we should celebrate her.
Rosie realllllllly ripped into American Idol today, and right in front of Kellie Pickler too!
I hate to say it, but watching the horrible auditions on Idol is my favorite part of the show – well, second only to watching Paula try to function on 79 vicodins and a Coke product.
Major news outlets are picking up on Rosie’s Idol bashing. It raises a good point – that basically the entire country gets off on watching ugly dorks be humiliated. Also Rosie is right about Paula. My dad watching Idol for the first time Tuesday night and he could not stop commenting on Paula’s drugged up antics. She was worse than the singers!
I realize that I didn’t make up a punny word, I just put “ro” in front of sense, but I still feel like I’m creative. Anyway, did you people know that Brad & Ang are moving to New Orleans?? I didn’t either until Ro told me, fine us, on the View today. She made an excellent point that Brad and Ang are using the paparazzi who follow them everywhere to shine the light on problems in the world. How can anyone not love them? For some reason Elisabeth feels the need to support “Team Aniston” as if Jennifer Aniston needs a team or cares at this point. That bugs me, but it occured to me today that I can’t dislike Elisabeth because she looks a lot like Carol Turner, the only popular girl in 8th grade who liked me and who invited me out onto the lawn where the popular people ate lunch and when she asked me I looked behind me and then pointed to myself, “you mean me?” and she laughed and nodded her pretty blonde head like “Yes, of course, silly!” and unfortunately the rest of the popular 8th grade people didn’t have the foresight that Carol Turner did to see how awesome I am so my time on the lawn was brief, but still, I have to like Elisabeth Hasselbeck.
I promise not to post again when I have had only a couple hours sleep.
But while I’m here, Kate, you may think you wouldn’t come up with things like the paci fairy when you have kids, but when you do have kids you will realize that everything you thought you would never do, you will probably do. Aside from you know, being purposefully hurtful.
Come to find out, the first new Oprahs of the week were BORING. Plugging Bob Greene’s new diet system? Snoozefest. I mean, his system sounds pretty straightforward, but the only advice they offered was to go out and buy his products.
And Oprah plugging Yoplait yogurt? Barftown! That stuff is like high fructose corn syrup and chemicals to the max! I’m a whole and organic Stoneyfield Yogurt woman myself. Now I know I have like, a little less pull than the O, but trust me, Stoneyfield is the way to go. And it SO much healthier – for you and the animals they use.
Let’s turn this blog into a crazy vegetarian rant zone!
Okay sorry about that. That whole show peeved me. Today I had about enough patience to last through half of the first Mary J. Blige jam. I couldn’t even finish the episode even though I knew my childhood crush Ben Taylor was going to be singing alongside his mama Carly Simon. I think they even sang my fave James Taylor song “You Can Close Your Eyes”. Eh, I’ll watch it on TiVo with a glass of wine. Sorry Bob Greene! I’m not cutting that out for the month – OR EVER!
On to the View. Pretty tame stuff eh! No more mention of the Donald, no more mention of anything but the usual – Elisabeth’s barren womb, Rosie’s kids, Barbara’s dog and Joy’s….thing.
Joy and Mario Cantone covering the Golden Globes today was hilarious-licious.
Not so great? The song and dance Rosie did with two of her Broadway boys. I’m kind of over that schtick already. I love you Ro, but I’d rather hear you talk about vibrators and Vivi’s pacifier. Which leads me too…
THE CONNECTION!
After watching Ro talk about how she and Kel told Vivi that a Paci Fairy was coming to take away her pacifier, I read the exact same story in my girl O’s Magazine, as told by Kristin Armstrong, Lance’s ex-ho! I guess this is a common technique moms use to screw with their kids heads. When I have babies, there is going to be a fairy who is responsible for all the bad things that happen in their life. That way I can take no credit for ruining them. Smart huh?
Rosie hates the first rounds of American Idol because she thinks it’s mean. People, I don’t want to freak you out by how similar Rosie and I are (sugar addiction, feminist, intensely relatable), but I hate the first rounds of American idol because I think it’s mean! And I think Paula Abdul has gotten way too smug. Isn’t she supposed to be the nice one? What am I talking about again? I think everyone here can agree that you can enjoy Jack Bauer killing someone by eating their neck and still think American Idol’s first round is mean. What? Look, that’s my Ro-ment. Take it or leave it.
Yesterday’s View was not covered here at Ro and O, and we have to ask ourselves are we only interested in the show when Rosie has to defend herself against a man with buttloads of cash and a mannequin for a wife? The answer is no, I had to go to the dentist.
My favorite Ro moment (new category, Kate?) was her telling of how she met Prince Charles at the premiere of the The Flinstones. First of all, I love that it was The Flinstones that gave her her brush with Royalty. (Side note: what does Prince Charles actually do? Why is he at a Flinstones premiere?) In her typical Ro way she talked about being confused about how to curtsy, but once she did it well for Prince Charles she turned to the next guy she met and said, “I did the curtsy right for Prince Charles!” The man said, “Nice to meet you, I am the Prince of Romania.” It was at this point in the telling of the story that Barbara Walters interrupts her and says, “Quick Prince of Romania story–”
This post could have also been titled Why I Love Rosie and Why I Would Be Intimidated to Hang Out with Barbara Walters.
Mostly I just wanted to say something about Oprah since she is the “O” in O and Ro and we’ve been pretty Ro heavy here, what with all the controversy. I’m ready for Oprah to come back from South Africa and tell me what I’m supposed to be doing with my life. I’m ready to get schooled by Dr. Robin. I’m ready for O to invite me to her show to celebrate our birthday. Did I bring that up again? Only 20 days to go, people! She better get back before then!
Today we had our most page views ever – 98! This exceeded the previous day’s record breaking 97 page views. Can we make it to 100 views tomorrow? This week? This month? Will Babs and RoRo high five when we make it happen?
