My Plane leaves in 18 hours
For my second week of vacation I will be visiting my mom in San Diego. I will be spending quality time with family members and old friends.
Happy Thanksgiving to all.
Snarkie’s rambling rants . . . .
TLC’s vendetta against Jon Gosselin: It’s transparent and pathetic. To get a bitter woman to use her hatred against her estranged-spouse and broadcast this on TV for wonderful “memories” for those kids is a form of abuse. Someday, TLC, Those kids will sue your fucking asses off. It won’t be TLC/Discovery/OWN . . . It’ll all belong to The Gosselin children with the help of A Minor Consideration. Oprah Winfrey is teaming with a company that will drain her legal budget to try and destroy Jon Gosselin. THEY WANT TO FILM THOSE KIDS and it really doesn’t matter who, what, where, why or HOW that happens. It will happen.
Nip/Tuck: Not good this season. I usually stick with shows even when they falter. However, I’ve forgotten to watch, fallen asleep and also just been geeking on my Crackberry during the show.
FoxNews: They are using clips from the 2008 presidential election to show how many people are showing up at Sara Palin’s book signings. They did this with other footage and Jon Stewart nailed them. Now they do it again?? “This footage just in . . .” and they show a crowd with signs that say “McCain/Palin 2008″.
Foxnewsisnotnews . . . . . We all know that, right??
Kate plus problems create annoying TV
It’s unavoidable. Kate Gosselin’s marriage problems, parenting problems, personal problems and the list goes on and on.
Many of the headlines online and in the magazine racks have something to do with the famous mother from the TLC show “Jon and Kate Plus 8.”
I, for one, am sick of it and have come up with three reasons why America should move on with their lives and stop giving the bossy Kate the attention she desires.
The Publicity
Simply put, no one cares. The personal lives of the stars of “Jon and Kate Plus 8” rank far below money concerns, fear of the H1N1 epidemic and other issues facing the American public. The interests of the people who read the news and magazine articles or watch the TV specials don’t span past their crave for knowledge of today’s latest drama. The publicity these children have received since birth cannot be emotionally or psychologically healthy for them. Only time will reveal the scarring these years of non-stop coverage have affected them. Growing up is hard enough, and living in a large family under constant public scrutiny only make it worse. For most of America, divorce is a private matter that is best dealt with between the parties involved. Once it becomes national news, the chances of the progress turning nasty increase exponentially.
The Appearance
Okay, I get it. You have short hair with bangs that costs more than I make a year to get styled. Unfortunately, this has led to a phenomenon among other suburban moms who automatically assume that they can automatically pull of “Kate’s Look.” As much as Gosselin wants to appear like a normal mom who deals with the same problems other moms do, spending hefty amounts of money on a haircut, fake tan and cute heels, is not the way to go about this. Treating yourself is something all women like to do, but Kate takes it one step too far. Look at the family’s TLC peers, the Duggars. They currently have 18 children, with number 19 on the way. At no point in their show “18 Kids and Counting” does appearance ever seem to be high on any of the 20 Duggars’ list of priorities.
The Parenting Techniques
I am not a parent and I don’t know what that role entails. Obviously it is a stressful, yet important job that frequently does not get appreciated. However, I do know that some of the most important components of a good technique of raising children are compassion, unconditional love and attention. Although every second of Kate’s life is not taped, enough is shown the public to allow us to consider where her priorities are. Most of the issues Kate talks about are her personal problems, her problems raising the eight kids, how Jon took money out of a joint banking accounting and other issues of that sort. Concerns over the damage the divorce and the show have been quite publicized, but Kate continues to allow her family’s private business to be filmed. I understand that Kate has her hands full and cannot manage to hold another job other than a full-time mom, that much is obvious, but relying on the money TLC pays to have the show exist does not sound very wise. Kate has the option to weigh money and popularity against her children’s happiness and psychological wellbeing, sadly she seems to have made the choice that benefits her, not her kids, the most.

Prisoner: I Impregnated Kate G. & Octomom
Posted Nov 7th 2009 9:30AM by TMZ Staff
An Indiana prisoner claims his swimmers are responsible for Kate Gosselin’s eight AND Octomom Nadya Suleman’s latest litter … and now he wants his supposed spawn to come live with him in lockdown.
In the most entertaining handwritten court papers you’ll ever read, Jonathan Lee Riches — who has filed many lawsuits against celebs in the past — wants custody of the Gosselin kids, the Suleman kids, John Edwards’ love child, all the kids on “ABC’s ‘All My Children’” and Bristol Palin’s child “which Bristol kidnapped from Linda Tripp.”In the awesome papers, filed in Illinois, Riches claims he met Kate “at a Harrisburg Long John Silvers over octopuss” — and when Kate went to a fertility clinic in 2002, his “sperm was added to the mix.”
More awesome lines included in the papers:
– “TLC stands for Torturing Little Children.”
– “Jon Gosselin is really a woman on steroids.”
– “I sued Black History Month.”
There’s much more awesomeness to be had … JUST READ THE PAPERS.

New Petition! FREE THE GOSSELIN 8
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/free-the-gosselin-8
This was tried a few months ago and for some reason the petition was “closed.”
Let’s hope we can make a difference this time. The children are too important to ignore. Their well-being is not a joke or a tool to use for ratings. The didn’t sign a contract to be employees and, as far as we know, they are not getting paid.

Billy Jack has words for Jon and Kate
“Jon and Kate, I want you to know… that I try. When fans tell me that I’m supposed to stop hating, and be passive and nonviolent like they are, I try. I really try. Though when I see these kids… of such beautiful spirit… so degraded… so exploited. . . and this little girl… that we all love… spanked like a naughty monkey … this little girl, who is so special to us we call her “God’s little gift of sunshine”… and I think of the number of years that she’s going to have to carry in her memory… the savagery of this idiotic moment of yours… I just go BERSERK!”
I still have this album
Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
There won’t be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after….
One tin soldier rides away.
One kid slammed in print . . .7 more to go
What a wonderful momento for Mady’s scrapbook! As parents, it is our job to protect our children.
Guess what, ALL CHILDREN HAVE MINDS OF THEIR OWN! This pisses me off. Cara has her own mind she’s just not vocal. All 6 kids each have a different mind too. It’s a shame they are treated as an individual entity.
Tonight Mady is happily and innocently at the Jonas Brothers concert. I hope somehow this page is kept away from her. However, I know better. What a great way to start the school year.
I’m really not an “I told you so” type of person. When I watched a supposed vow renewal last year, I knew this show was fake. Unfortunately, the kids are real and so are their feelings. Parent are too busy getting laid or playing martyr to actually notice if the kids need attention. The spare crew member gives more individual attention than their own parents. Evil Uncle Kevin called each kid by their name and knew all the different personalities, and enjoyed them!
Kate is their mother. For some reason that means she owns them. Slavery was abolished in this country. You cannot buy or sell people. However. if you give birth to them it’s fair game.
From Gypsy Rose Lee and Jackie Coogan, to Brook Sheilds and Mucaulay Culkin, parents have been exploiting their offspring in Hollywood for over 100 years. We also have the Exploiting Joes. Joe Jackson and Joe Simpson. Now Jon Gosselin is hanging out with Michael Lohan and Kate and the kids are still filming. The show must go on.
The Best Photographer’s Portfolio I have EVER seen!!
http://www.dblanks.com/
Real Housewives of Atlanta was very boring last night. However, we were introduced to this awesome photographer and I’m in love. His pictures are worth spending the time to adore. I’m usually not one to look at glamor shots but I couldn’t get enough of this guy last night.
He’s brilliant.

Stacy Conradt The Quick 10: Nine Women Who Inspired Beatles Songs (and one song not inspired by a woman)
http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/32747
by Stacy Conradt – August 25, 2009 – 3:30 PM
I’m going through a serious Fab Four phase at the moment, I think because of the eminent release of The Beatles: Rock Band (09.09.09, people, it’s just around the corner!!). When I was younger I was fanatical, bordering on obsessive, but I think it’s tempered nicely over the years… although it does rear its ugly head every now and then. I’ll forgive them for not having a song about Stacy (not many bands do), but I will admit to being slightly envious of the nine girls below… and the one girl who doesn’t really exist.
1. Prudence of “Dear Prudence” from the White Album is about Mia Farrow’s sister (pictured). The sisters were in India studying under Maharishi Mahesh Yogi at the same time the Beatles were in the late ‘60s, and Prudence was very focused on meditation and stayed in her room alone a lot. This was John’s musical plea to get her to come out and join the group.
2. Lucy of “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” from Sgt. Pepper was a real person. The song was not about drugs, as was (and still is) rumored at the time. Years later, when John admitted that other songs were, in fact, about drugs, he maintained that Lucy was based on a drawing his son Julian had done of his classmate, soaring through a bejeweled sky.
3. Sadie, another White Album gal, wasn’t actually a gal at all. “Sexy Sadie” was about Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, whom the Beatles had had a falling out with. They were under the impression that the holy man had made a pass at Mia Farrow and other girls studying with him and were convinced that he “made a fool of everyone” who had some to learn from him. Most of the group, including Mia Farrow, later said Maharishi’s actions had been misinterpreted and they were sorry to have doubted him.
4. Martha is another one who wasn’t really a girl – at least, not a human girl, although she was utterly devoted to Paul McCartney. “Martha My Dear” was named for his beloved English Sheepdog. He has since admitted that the title may have borne Martha’s name, but the lyrics were “probably” about his ex-fiancee Jane Asher.
5. Eleanor Rigby, the haunting girl from Revolver, has a couple of different stories. The song was almost “Daisy Hawkins,” but McCartney decided that it didn’t quite flow and began searching for a more suitable name. The Beatles had just starred in Help! with Eleanor Bron, and McCartney later said her name was probably rattling around in his subconscious when he chose Rigby’s identity. The surname part of it came from a shop called Rigby – McCartney said he felt it was a very ordinary name, but rather special all at the same time. He put the two together, and sad Eleanor Rigby was born. However, there’s rumor of an Eleanor Rigby who actually lived in Woolton, England, where John and Paul used to hang out back in the early days. That’s her gravestone in the picture. “It’s possible that I saw it and subconsciously remembered it,” McCartney later said.
6. Pam of Abbey Road’s “Polythene Pam” was a fan from the Cavern Club days, but her name was Pat. By her own admission, she used to tie polythene (Polyethylene, the stuff shopping bags are made of) into knots and eat it. So… that’s weird. But even stranger is John’s later admission that some of the song was based on a girl named Stephanie who was dating poet Royston Ellis in 1963. She liked to dress in polythene for kinky sex purposes, although John said he may have stretched the truth a little bit. “She didn’t wear jackboots and kilts,” he said. “I just sort of elaborated. Perverted sex in a polythene bag. Just looking for something to write about.”
7. “Julia,” on the surface, was about John’s mother who was hit by a car and killed when he was just 17. But it’s also about Yoko Ono, whose first name means “Ocean child” in Japanese. Lennon had a lot of mother (and parent) issues, so it’s not surprising that he tangled up mother and wife all in one song.
8. Rita from “Lovely Rita,” another Sgt. Pepper tune, has no cryptic meaning – it’s really about meter maids. After the song came out, a woman who did actually issue violations said she gave McCartney a ticket when he was parked at Abbey Road Studios. Her name was Meta Davies, and he came out just as she was placing the ticket on his car. According to Davies, he looked at her signature on the ticket and asked if her name was really Meta, apparently finding “Meta” and “meter” to be rather lyrical. But McCartney says nay. “’Wow, that woman gave me a ticket, I’ll write a song about her’ – never happened like that,” he commented. Rather, he said, he was amused by the American term “meter maid” and found that “Rita” rolled off the tongue nicely when coupled with the phrase.
9. Melanie Coe isn’t mentioned by name in Sgt. Pepper’s “She’s Leaving Home,” but she inspired it just the same. Paul had seen a headline in The Daily Mail about a 17-year-old girl who had run away from home, leaving her parents with no clue as to why she had left. She says he got most of the details right, except that she didn’t met “a man from the motor trade,” but a casino worker; she also split in the afternoon and not the morning.
10. “Michelle” from Rubber Soul isn’t really about anyone in particular, and was in fact just a little song Paul messed around with before the Liverpudlian lads were famous. He had been at a party where he felt some art school guys were being pretentious with their French singing and goatees and decided to make up a song to mock them. It included a lot of faux-French and groaning noises. During the Rubber Soul sessions, John asked Paul if he remembered the little faux-French ditty and encouraged him to make it a real song.

TV Ad Is Gross, But We Smell Money
MSNBC pulled the Aspray ad, but it has found a home on YouTube. (Courtesy Adam Jay Geisinger)
Once upon a time in this great land, there was a roofing contractor. His name was Adam. He lived on Long Island.
It came to pass that Adam had an idea for a personal grooming product (on the way to the gym, natch), and because this is America, where anybody can do anything, Adam begot something so completely and wonderfully absurd that he took to the airwaves to advertise it himself.
And so there came to be Doc Bottoms Aspray, billing itself as the first “All Over” deodorant.
The resulting two-minute infomercial, featuring wildly enthusiastic Adam Jay Geisinger as pitchman, is so cheerfully mortifying, such a big fat spritz over the line of good taste, that it reaches its own level of art. Or something.
It showcases green gases emerging from various body “odor zones,” a construction worker musing that “I got odor in special places,” people spraying their “privates” and Geisinger shouting the unforgettable tag line: “NO BACTERIA, NO STINK!”
Think of a blond and beardless Billy Mays, as directed by Ed Wood.
MSNBC says it aired the ad once a couple of weeks ago, in the television graveyard of 2 a.m. to 5 a.m. The channel pulled the spot immediately.
“The first time it aired was the last time it aired,” says Jeremy Gaines, an MSNBC spokesman, noting the demo the network was given did not match the full ad. (Geisinger counters that the ad aired more than once, and may air yet again. “I pay for it, so I have the logs to prove it.”)
Even by the Wild West standards of infomercial-dom, Doc Bottoms is being greeted with awe.
“I just couldn’t believe it was real,” says Remy Stern, author of “But Wait . . . There’s More!,” a history of the infomercial biz. “I’d put it right up there near the top of the all-time most ridiculous ads.”
And he means the bigs, the Hall of Fame, the Infomercial Unforgettables.
Hallowed icons like “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!” The HeadOn commercial, about a topical analgesic you rub on your forehead, though all the ad ever really said was “HeadOn! Apply directly to the forehead!” over and over and over again until you threw a large rock through the television. And the jaw-dropping ad for the Tiddy Bear, a teddy bear that clips onto seat belts, featuring a saleswoman who appeared to have a monstrous black eye.
Have we mentioned that, in the Doc Bottoms ad, Adam says you can “Aspray your butt”? Did we say that when we asked a Post researcher to help track down the company, she replied, “This is the most degrading thing I’ve ever done for money”?
And here he is, in his first media interview, Adam Jay Geisinger, square jaw, good looks and all, though of course we couldn’t see the good looks because he was talking on the phone.
“How am I doing so far?” he asks, about three questions in. “I gotta admit, I’m a little nervous.”
He’s doing fine. Seems like a nice guy. He’s 38 years old, married to a Wendi Rogers, who was a stalwart on infomercials in the 1990s with beauty products. He’s explaining the genesis of Aspray. He thought of such a product in his truck about two years ago, because, “Frankly, I needed it.”
A contractor who sells roofing, siding and other outdoor building materials, he works up a working man’s sweat during the day. Afterward, he likes to go to the gym, without stopping by home first for a quick shower. The result, he said, was that “the funk was building up.”
“Now, I’m not a dirty person. I’m not someone who doesn’t shower or who has a weird, smelly disease.”
He looked for an antibacterial product that could be sprayed all over the body, didn’t find much, worked with his wife and a “team” that developed a product without alcohol, aerosols or other irritants. It’s designed to stop odors before they start, not just mask them, he says. The product is licensed and everything.
He swears business is fab, never mind those prudes at MSNBC. He slapped it on YouTube, and it’s garnered more than a quarter-million hits in two weeks.
“We’ve created a monster,” he says. “The reaction from the public has been unbelievable.”
According to the product’s Web site, $14.99 plus $7.95 shipping and handling brings you a bottle described as “full size,” plus a pen-shaped “pocket shot” of Aspray.
People are actually buying?
“Absolutely buying,” he says. “We knew there had to be humor to get the message across. It may be controversial, but if it wasn’t, I don’t think you’d be talking to me.”
In the sell-now-or-die direct-marketing business, where only one in 30 products makes money, there’s a reason people make “bottom-feeder” ads like this, says Sam Catanese, president of the Infomercial Monitoring Service Corp., a Philadelphia-based outfit that chronicles the comings and goings of infomercials.
“They work,” he says. “Campy stuff works, goofy stuff works. . . . If it’s like, ‘Uh-oh, oh no they didn’t!’ and it stops you in your tracks, then they’ve gotten your attention.”
That’s key, because the shelf life for these products can be two weeks or less, he says.
“If you keep seeing a goofy ad, it’s because somebody’s buying it.”
Aspray may or may not live on as product. But the ad is history.

Why I haven’t been blogging . . . . .
While most are spending time watching the new Fall Season of TV Shows . . . this Snark has been on the phone with a new/old friend. Hours and hours a day . . . until our phones die!
My life may be changing drastically in the next year. This is a great thing and I’m very happy.
I have opinions on Mackenzie Phillips that I hope to write about soon. I’ve seriously been too busy having a life to watch TV or blog. This is a good thing.
Vanity Fair Article: The Unreal Rise of Jon and Kate Gosselin
Tabloid Spiral
The Unreal Rise of Jon and Kate Gosselin
How did two average parents from rural Pennsylvania with an outsize brood rise to such dizzying heights of stardom and tabloid infamy? The author peers behind the curtain of the biggest celebrity story of the year.
By Nancy Jo Sales
WEB EXCLUSIVE October 19, 2009
‘Nobu, Nobu, I want Nobu!” Kate Gosselin wants to go to Nobu. She’s got a night away from her eight kids—also her co-stars on the hit reality series Jon & Kate Plus Eight—and a reporter is offering to take her out on the town. “I want sushi!” Kate says, leaning back in an armchair in her suite at the Essex House hotel overlooking Central Park, checking her BlackBerry, popping gum.
But Laurie Goldberg, senior vice president of communications at the Learning Channel, which airs Jon & Kate, doesn’t think Nobu’s such a great idea. Kate cried on the Today show this morning, answering questions about why she’s still wearing her wedding ring (“for them,” she said of her children, sniffling), and this afternoon she told People, “I am so emotionally spent” (from her husband’s behavior, which has included philandering with the daughter of the plastic surgeon who gave Kate her tummy tuck), and so it might not look good for her to be out enjoying herself at a hot spot.
“You’re like a prisoner,” Kate says of her newfound fame, annoyed.
Kate, who in the first season of Jon & Kate, two years ago, appeared on-screen as a dowdy, sweatpants-wearing mama hen, is now looking very much the celebrity—from her tanned, trained body to her curiously asymmetrical blond hairdo, now so iconic as to be the model for a popular Halloween wig.
Her phone rings. “Oh, it’s Kelly”—Ripa, of Live with Regis and Kelly—Kate says, holding up a French-manicured finger, signaling for us all to be silent. She’s going on the show tomorrow morning. She and Kelly gab. “Hiya!”
It’s early August, and Kate, who is 34, has come to New York to do battle—media battle. She and her estranged husband, Jon, are churning around at the center of a multi-media tsunami focused on their split and impending divorce. They are the subject of gossipy talk-show talk—a frequent “Hot Topic” on The View—and the target of thousands of disapproving blogs (GosselinsWithoutPity being the most insane).

Chelsea Handler in Playboy!
Sneak Peek
Today 1:52 PM PDT by Chelsea Handler
The December issue of Playboy is soon to be released. I mention this because I’m on the cover. I’m also elsewhere in the magazine so if you were going to judge the magazine by its cover, go right ahead. I didn’t eat anything but grapefruit and turkey for a few weeks to prepare for the shoot, so feel free to compliment me if you think you see a rib sticking out. I brought a few of the perverts that work for me along for the shoot. They shot a “Holiday Christmas Party” scene and those guys were more than happy to hang out and look at the other women’s boobs while Chuy and I worked hard on perfecting our poses. I can’t give away what you will and won’t see, although some of what you won’t see I have definitely given away. Think of it as my Christmas gift to the world…even though I’m Jewish and not a big fan of the world. Anyway, I hope you buy a copy, show it to your friends who are 18 and over, and don’t ask me about airbrushing. L’Shanah Tovah.H
Cliche-Fest Bingo! Kate “Breaks her Silence (yeah, as if she was ever silent) for OUR entertainment!
Kate Gosselin interview bingo: Get ready for another cliche-fest
by Margaret Lyons
Tonight, Kate Gosselin will reveal all when she does a nothing’s-off-limits episode! Wait, wasn’t that last week? Uh, sort of: Last week, Kate answered viewers’ questions, but we didn’t dig deep enough, apparently, and now the Today show’s Natalie Morales takes a turn.
I’ve seen enough Kate Gosselin interviews in the last few months to last a lifetime know that Kate’s a robotic interviewee; she sticks to her talking points like she’s a political operative. So I’ve made you this handy Bingo card, which you can print (or remix here) to make tonight’s interview more enjoyable. Remember, if something actually revealing or new-sounding happens, everybody drink.
World events, my events and what is “really” important to others
Today people were murdered by a military psychiatrist.
Babies and little girls being kidnapped, raped and killed. Sometimes by women or their own mother!
Wars in both Iraq and Afghanistan are taking lives every single day. I do not see and end in site for this war. 
My mother is bedridden for 2 months because her insurance will not cover the surgeon that has experience doing the surgery she needs. They say their surgeon could do it because she’s “seen a few performed in medical school.” Now my mom needs to go on medicare since her high-priced private insurance won’t pay. That doesn’t kick in until January. She’s in bed.
Americans are losing their homes, jobs and insurance at alarming rates and there is no end in site.
My friends in Maine had planned to marry but their neighbors decided not to allow it. They feel it will hurt their marriage if Bryan and Craig have a legal union. Bigoted assholes.
Gangs are shooting children who are trick or treating because they “thought” they were from a rival gang.
A man who was a convicted sex offender kept a child for 18 years and made her have 2 children.
Another man, also a convicted sex offender, has been discovered to have numerous bodies buried on his property.
My good friend lost close friends in a fire a year ago this week. Three little children were killed in that fire.
One of my best friends lost her fiance 3 months ago. He was 47 and just “died.” Now his relatives are mad at her because she’s not giving them the money he left for her to live on. They were close as family and now they are enemies fighting over money and “things.” He’s still dead. They now might move his body because he is buried next to her father and she will eventually be buried on top. They couldn’t pay for a funeral but they are willing to exhume a body to “make a point?” People suck.
BUT over on another site, some people are so concerned because I have email contact with Hailey Glassman. Yes, This is what is big news and an important topic for these yahoos to talk about all day long. How dare I?? I’m hurting the kids!! I showed kindness to a person I felt empathy for. Shame on me. I do not support her recent media tour but it’s also none of my business what she does. I think she is a nice person and whoever has a problem with that can kiss my ass. Also, it’s really creepy to me to be followed all over the internet. So I post on other sites. Big whip. I have a twitter account. OMG, I’m a criminal. I also have a FACEBOOK account under this name and my birthname. I guess I’m my own sock puppet because the RDoK will call my home if they get my number. It’s happen to others when their legal names were discovered so forgive me for not always using my actual name when I post on message boards.
