Paris Hilton

The other night i was watching TV and i saw an trailer for the new Paris Hilton reality show, "I wanna be Paris' New Best Friend", complete with her on a lounge chair swearing!

It reminded me that not so long ago when she was released fron LA County Jail she sat down with Larry King and told the world she wanted to grow up, invest back in the community, do charity work, and set a good example for young girls!

I guess that was just a bunch of junk because it looks like she's back to D grade reality television shows and being nothing but a spoiled rich bimbo barbie!

I hope next time she'll serve her whole sentence and the Hilton name and money won't matter.

TV Time!

This is my time of year! Fall television is back with a vengenance. Now the networks don't know it, but for many years I have interviewed almost everyone of their new shows each fall to determine if it will make it into my tivo repetoire! I love when People magazine publishes its issue describing all the new shows, with glossy photo's and descriptions! When TV Guide comes out I keep the colorful chart that divides everything so neatly, day of the week, network, time, (ah, if only i could divide my complicated life into such a great chart! Of course that's a story for another post)

So, let me tell you, the networks have also thrown me tidbits over the summer, likely because the movies this summer totally SUCKED! I mean what is a summer without good movies!

So let me first say that there are some new little networks that have some great shows

TNT and USA and AMC came out with some surprises,

In Plain Sight about the Witness protection program is pretty good, although the plotline isn't that feasbile since every witness gets moved to Albuquerque, hey wait a minute, maybe those are the only people who want to live there, next season the show will be based in Wasilla, Alaska! Oh wait, this post isn't about that weasel Sarah Palin!

Mad Men about advertising men in the 1960's, although slow moving is superbly written and has great costumes!

Raising the Bar- great show about Young public defenders and prosecutors. I'm probably the only one who watches this show, and it'll be off the air soon, but I love it!

HBO has finally brought back Entourage and i'm still hoping that Jeremy Piven finally meets my friend Missy, because i am certain they were meant to marry each other! They also have a new show True Blood and while i'm not into science fiction, werewolves and blood sucking vampire shows, this one is pretty damn tasty! (no pun intended)

xoxo blogger girl!

p.s. i'm off to go watch gossip girl for those of you who missed the hint!

My commentary!

For those of you that know me, i mean really know me, you've seen that i've been quite the political pundit on facebook of late! I don't normally pay too much attention to politics, i much prefer to talk about shoes, tv, movies and sex when i'm out to dinner, but the 2008 election campaign has me in a TIZZY!

First, let me say i'm a registered independent, i've voted for republicans, i've voted for democrats, and on the whole i'd say while I have liberal beliefs on some issues, I have very conservative beliefs on other issues. I'm pretty well balanced in that respect.

Let me also say, I completely understand that there are people out there who vote party lines no matter what, who are big business and stand to pay tons in taxes and so they vote republican, and there are people who are out in the trenches everyday fighting for the little guy and they vote democrat!

What i don't understand and can not even begin to comprehend is the people out there who aren't evangelical regligious fanatics who are going to tell me that Sarah Palin is a remarkable woman! What is remarkable about her is that she has chosen for forego the privacy of her pregnant teenage daughter and her teenage boyfriend turned fiancee so that she can be the vice presidential nominee. Additionally, it is remarkable that this "self proclaimed friend and advocate for special needs children" isn't spending the formidable months caring for her newborn child who has the bad fortune of having downs syndrome. The ultimate remarkable trait is the belief system she follows- pro-life, anti-gay rights, no ban on assault weapsons, and she loudly proclaims that her decisions are not only based in her faith but that our being in Iraq is a task from G-d! In August the leader of Jews for Jesus, was invited to speak to the faithful at the Wasilla Bible Church, Sarah Palin's fundamentalist congregation.
In his talk at Wasilla on August 17, 2008, with Palin in the audience, Brickner described terrorist attacks on Israelis as God's "judgment of unbelief" on Jews who have not converted to Christianity.

I'm also tired of hearing about her executive experience. From what i've read, she left Wasilla $22 million in debt, she never had a passport until 2007, she's under investigation in at least 2 seperate misconduct investigations in Alaska and she milked Alaska for 312 days of per diem expenses when she was in actuality at home on her sofa!

So if you want to vote republican, be my guest, but don't tell me its because Sarah Palin is remarkable or that she has any ability to lead a country if need be!
