And I'm mad that Tyra wasted 90 minutes of my time and didn't give me any ALT.
let the church say amen. He better be on the next ep. Although that bit about the white penis was pretty funny.
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

Dear god, did anyone watch any of High Society? Talk about wanting to reach through the tv and bitchslap somebody... Apparently Gossip Girl is understated compared to the real thing. I had to turn the tv off before I actually got sick to my stomach.

Precisely. It segued right in from ANTM, and I recognized Tinsley Mortimer's name from the Fug Girls (I think) and then I was transfixed in horror for a few minutes, in which I saw cell phones and drinks thrown, bitching at service personnel, a beer chucked out a limo window, a spoiled rich boy whining to mommy for $50K from his trust fund, getting $25K, and doing his best to blow it all in one night. And backstabbing that makes the ANTM models look mature. Jaw. On. The ground.
And they were all at least 21.

Because books.
smonster, I saw the title of the show before and thought I was in Movies until you started describing it. I've never even heard of it. It sounds appalling.

I couldn't even make it through the commercials for that Tinsley Mortimer show. Gah. I mean, how old do you have to get before you can no longer be called a "socialite"? That fool was born in 1976. She's in her 30s. That kind of behavior is unacceptable at any age, but at her age? Just no. I refuse.

Actually, she was behaving much better than the others, from what little I saw. And there was behind the back snark about her age and newly-single status.

But why does she even have those others amongst her circle of friends? People who think it's acceptable to throw drinks out of limos, treat service people like shit, hit mommy up for more money than most people make in a year and then blow it all in one night, who actively campaign for white folks right to use the "n" word? There has to be a better class of rich, snooty people for her to hang out with.
