9/16/2010 6:03:01 PM

9/16/2010 6:05:34 PM

I dunno, she is kinda cute. Just look at those puppy dog eyes

9/16/2010 6:07:18 PM

i never said she was uggo!

9/16/2010 6:09:44 PM

lol i wish it was aziz

but i think it is like american idol man? anoop or something

9/16/2010 6:25:10 PM

You knew it was going to be bad when she refers to her vagina as her "muffin" in the 1st paragraph of the 1st chapter of the book.

9/16/2010 6:27:39 PM

That is an awful, awful book. Or at least the first chapter is, anyway

9/16/2010 6:28:15 PM

god damn it

she won an Emmy and I can't find a job

9/16/2010 6:32:05 PM

she's way ahead of all of us on the EGOTing front

9/16/2010 6:34:17 PM

I can't wait to read about the time she partied with Alien Ant Farm

9/16/2010 6:38:02 PM

^^^ lol

and her book will prob get published and sell to raleigh ITB soccer moms who will laugh at all of her "jokes"

ugh

CELEBS ARE JUST LIKE US BUT AIRBRUSHED!

^ hahahahahaha

I want to know who the anonymous writer for RG is that called her out is, though.


I mean, fair is fair, her writing is awful.


But it takes a real fucking d-bag to hide behind a website or screenname and be that publicly brutal about someone. It's straight up Gronke shit.

9/16/2010 6:56:21 PM

whoever allowed Chelsea Handler to get famous enabled shit like this

9/16/2010 7:01:19 PM

^^ true.

and RG doesn't like anything. ever. reading it is usually a drag. i actually thought this was funny for once. even though its pretty cruel.

BUT if homegirl is going to publish a book, gotta get used to brutal. cause this shit sucks. and people will probably give it terrible reviews (at least, we can only hope). though not in the same tone as RG. i'm sure they'll be more PC.

^ that is what i was thinking the whole time i was reading chapter 1. chelsea handler is probably her role model. ugh. soooo bad. why, stupid women, WHYYYY are you making it like this for the rest of us.

OH SHIT!

She met Elmo AND Cookie Monster?

THAT IS FUCKING BADASS!!!!

the EXACT same thing I was thinking

9/16/2010 7:13:51 PM

her collage if famous people is made up of elmo, cookie monster, everybody loves raymond, anoop idol and a mexican rat

9/16/2010 7:17:25 PM

OK dude, you can fuck with Elmo. But you CANNOT fuck with Cookie Monster

Check Yo Self, bro

9/16/2010 7:19:07 PM

no worries she has tons of famous people stories:

Quote :

"Talked about jewelry with “American Idol” runner-up Adam Lambert Played Madden NFL '07 against Marshall Faulk and lost miserably Talked about “Flavor of Love” with Jerry Rice and Russell Simmons Flashed an Oscar winner Got schooled by Raymond’s mom Worked the words "White Puffy Coke Whore" into a job interview Waged war on Kid Rock Was one of the first to report on Robin Roberts' condition post-surgery Decided I didn’t want to LiveStrong with Lance Armstrong Was a Sweet Potato Queen for a Day Finally got to know Diddley - Bo diddley Wrote about Jamie-Lynn Spears' baby daddy Ate Goldfish with B.B. King Partied with Alien Ant Farm on their tour bus Almost got knocked out by a bottle meant for Eminem Nearly kicked in the head by Good Charlotte's Joel Madden Put Mardi Gras beads around Fuel’s Brett Scallion's neck during a show Sat on the stage minutes before Stone Temple Pilots started playing on it Got sweated on by STP’s Scott Weiland Made B.B. King laugh Went undercover as a jogger to get some info on an illegal cheerleading team. Got bear hugged by Morgan Freeman. Scored an exclusive interview with Jerry Rice days before he retired as a 49er Held a Super Bowl ring on my finger Dropped it like it was hot with Elmo"

nevermind this reads like something out of tigerbeat mag

I seriously have no idea who this broad is, nor why she is relevant. Nor do I care. But the chick met Cookie Monster, so she is cool with me.

and y'all wonder why I don't like hipsters.


Some smelly, unkempt, and unwashed bearded fuck has the audacity to sit behind a keyboard and spew vitriol on a blog about someone else, and not even once does he own up to who he is.

9/16/2010 7:37:16 PM

that ain't just a hipster thing

9/16/2010 7:38:12 PM

^^ you guys have something in common. because RG HATES hipsters too!!!

haha.

^ that is the truth. that is like, half the point/appeal of ALL blogs. and the internet. and freaking tww (well, for some of the twwers, anyway...not us, cause we are way better/cooler ) besides most hipsters i know will be happy to get in your face and snobbishly tell you why they don't like you or what you are doing wrong.

but i don't want this thread to turn into another arguing over hipsters thread. so. lets just focus on the beauty of this artwork ("this" being the memoir, not RG. clearly.)

She needs notes.

A lot of notes.

From unbiased people.

Not her mom.


Seriously, if she had any outside input, I bet it would be a whole lot better. Not good but better.

Also, I think a lot of what is turning people off is actually her trying to make fun of herself (like the list of things she's done). At least I hope that's the case.

9/16/2010 10:15:21 PM

getting excited about touching a rapper's hand is lame, too.

9/16/2010 10:22:31 PM

"shoved up my muffin" is crazy distasteful
actually telling me about her IUD is crazy distasteful

with that said I think an IUD could have solved some problems in my life

but it still made my skin crawl to read about it (not cause I'm sensitive about the snizz - just cause I'm sensitive)

also her punctuation is kind of inconsistent which annoys me

9/17/2010 1:17:36 AM

WAT?

My English degree and Emily Post-like sensibilities are crying right now.

9/17/2010 1:24:21 AM

^WAT?

You care about etiquette?

9/17/2010 1:34:29 AM

propriety, sure.

At all.

9/17/2010 1:43:24 AM

I never got an English degree - never even went to school for one

I changed majors, actually

from World Literature to Literature
but I did the Women's Studies from day one

hahaha i know.

and maybe i need to change my view. i didn't think she was making fun of herself with the list. maybe if i look at it like THAT i can like it 1% more than i already did (which was 0). i see her as someone that actually takes herself seriously...mostly because i took the WRAL bio and her memoir (and the fact that it is called a fucking memoir, i mean who the fuck are you, really) as a whole.

but perhaps i have been viewing it wrong this entire time.

9/17/2010 3:40:03 AM

I can beat my dick to anything that involves Ray Ramano or Elmo.

Both?

Fuck yeah.

9/17/2010 4:00:19 AM

What exactly is Raleigh Gawker? I've never seen it before. Is it supposed to just troll like quasi local celebrities?

[Edited on September 17, 2010 at 9:22 AM. Reason : what an odd site. i guess it's funny but I disagree with pretty much everything on there.]

9/17/2010 9:18:17 AM

Holy shit, that's bad writing.

Speaking of holy shit, I hope some random blog doesn't decide to tear me apart because of my general lameness.

9/17/2010 10:43:47 AM

i know. bashing someone because of lameness is kind of equally as lame. especially when that is pretty much all the blog does.

but whatev. that is what blogs are for.

and memoirs are for telling really sweet stories about muffins.

I fully expected to see nudes of her by now, cmon guys, its been three days

9/19/2010 9:48:35 PM

tww was not that into this. i expected meaner comments. instead everyone was just mad about raleigh gawker.

i think maybe the first chapter of a memoir was too much for tww's attention span.

9/19/2010 10:33:09 PM

do you know her personally?

9/19/2010 10:39:17 PM

uh no.
