My Opinion On.. Camille Grammer
Posted: January 17, 2011 in Just StuffTags: Camille Grammer, Lisa Vanderpump, Opinion, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Reality, Reality Show, Reality TV, RHWOBH, Taylor Armstrong, Television, TV
I’m sure you know who Camille Grammer is, right?
She, the soon to be ex-wife of Kelsey Grammer?
He, who after almost 14 years of marriage and two kids decides to take on a mistress and ends said 14 year marriage.
I have to admit that I wasn’t a fan of Camille at the beginning of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. I only watched the show because I WAS a fan of Kyle Richards and Lisa Vanderpump.
I initially found Camille child-like and child-ish. I thought that she relied far too heavily on her looks and seemed to be just holding her head above water trying to deal with the day to day dealings with her husband out of town.
I thought that she was out of place and out of touch.
I’ve since changed my mind..
Maybe it’s because it’s become apparent (at least to me) that Kelsey wanted her to do the show to keep her occupied while he ran around with is mistress on the other side of the country.. and that doesn’t sit well with me.
I don’t understand “cheating” .. if you feel as though your relationship has gone as far as it has gone then buck up and be honest. It doesn’t serve anyone any good.. doesn’t make one look better than the other.. and certainly, when there are kids involved and you’re in the spotlight no good can come of it.
I feel bad for Camille… I think she has always had to prove herself beyond her looks and has been put in situations where she was definitely a feeder fish in a tank full of piranhas.
I also think that she truly believed in her marriage and wasn’t like oh.. I don’t know.. Taylor Armstrong, maybe?
And while she has been going on various talk shows and radio shows saying some pretty eyebrow raising things about her almost former husband, I think it’s more out of self preservation then lashing out. I mean, really, with all the ammo she has and with all the embarrassment she’s suffered because of him she could be putting up billboards y’know?
So it looks like she’s taken a more higher road then a lot of other people may have taken and that really does say more about her then it does about him.
RHWNJ: Gotta Go With Danielle On This One

Ok.. first of all.. I’m not a big fan of Danielle.
Used to be.. but not anymore.
Actually, the whole damn show has gotten WAY too over the top for me but once I start something I have to finish it so there I am on Monday nights at 10.
But before I get to Danielle.. what the FUCK was up with the christening?
To bring you up to speed, Teresa :: the one with the bankruptcy drama and foreclosure drama :: held a christening for her fourth daughter.
Now.. I’m Italian and even though christenings ARE a big deal if you’re Italian and decided to remain Catholic once you were old enough to know better.. can we say OVER THE TOP here?
RIDICULOUS over the top?
Not sure if this “event” occurred before or after their money troubles but OBVIOUSLY her husband knew something was up financially just because of all the looks he was giving her through out the episode.
Teresa, honey.. ignorance isn’t always bliss and hopefully, if you heard NOW what you said THEN.. you may need to get a better grasp on reality.
Of course.. Bravo could have footed the bill and the Brownstone could have given a HUGE discount but it just doesn’t make you look good, girlfriend.
Ok.. now back to Danielle
We all know she’s a fucking crazy .. has issues.. and is a therapist’s wet dream .. but I have to side on her on this episode.
Excuse me while I dodge the daggers.
Danielle confides in her “closest .. most dearest” friend Kim G :: who btw, is double dealing her :: that she wants to seek out her birth mother. I’m not going to into all the various stories about who Danielle said her birth mother was or the various stories surrounding her birth because when someone believes something.. regardless of whether it’s true or not .. they believe it and that’s that.
So she confides in Kim G .. who OBVIOUSLY couldn’t wait to tell someone.. namely Teresa.. about it. Teresa then tells someone at the place where she gets her bush eyebrows waxed and in turn, the waxer relays a story to a girl who turns out to be Danielle’s daughter’s friend.
Did you follow that?
Danielle’s daughter then says something to her mother about it and Danielle freaks.
Honestly, she is one HELL of an actress if the hurt showing on her face wasn’t real. I literally thought she was going to cry right then. And I don’t think it had much to do with WHO Kim G told :: well, yea it did but that only added salt to the wound :: but the fact that her daughter found out about it from someone other then her.
And I have to respect her there for that because maybe she didn’t want her daughters to know.. maybe if this woman turned out to be some wack job, she wouldn’t want her around her daughters… for whatever her reasons are, Danielle should have been the one to either tell or not tell her daughters.
Of course, her jumping down her youngest daughter’s throat wasn’t cool…and her plotting and scheming with her Denny Terio Wanna Be friend wasn’t cool.. and her just twisting things around like she usually does wasn’t cool but this one time, yea.. I have to agree.
Was Anyone Else Let Down By The Dr. Who Season Finale?
Posted: July 27, 2010 in Just StuffTags: BBC, BBC America, David Tennant, Dr Who, Eleventh Doctor, Matt Smith, Sci Fi, Season Finale, Television, Tenth Doctor
Ok..
First let me say that I was NOT thrilled that David Tennant :: the 10th Doctor :: was leaving after last season.
I’m not a huge Sci Fi fan and had never heard of Dr. Who before I met Chief but I fell in love with the show primarily because I fell in love with David Tennant.
Shhh!! Don’t tell anyone!!
So after watching last season’s finale and threw all my girly, weepy, sentimental bullshit tears, I firmly stated:
I WILL NOT LIKE THE NEW DOCTOR!!
Chief was all like, “.. give him a chance!” Mainly because he was worried that our Saturday routine would be ruined.. but I was like NO! NO! I WILL NOT LIKE THE NEW DOCTOR.
And so when this season started.. I was all prepared to NOT LIKE THE NEW DOCTOR and only watched to prove my point that the 11th Doctor was going to suck major ass but then a funny thing happened.
I LOVE THE NEW DOCTOR!
If David Tennant was the source of wet dreams, then Matt Smith is like the friend you grew up with that you suddenly find yourself with a crush on.
It’s a girl thing. Ok?
Anyway.. so I was just as into Dr. Who this season as I was last and was a little put off that the season was going to end so soon with a two parter.
Part 1 was AWESOME! The Doctor gets hoodwinked by all his enemies and gets locked into an unbreakable box, the Pandorica. It was brilliant writing! Brilliant acting! And I sobbed at the end because not only was it the end of the season but the Doctor was LOCKED in a BOX!!
And so all week I waited anxiously for Part 2 and guess what?
It sucked.
This unbelievable series that has a way to make you believe that what is going on is true had the lamest.. most UNbelievable unbelievable episode that left me saying, “.. you’re fucking kidding me, right???”
So let me ask all you Dr. Who fans out there…
Did you have the same reaction as me or am I just a sill girl who likes looking at cute English guys??
