What's Your Take On ...

...Gwyneth's Website, Goop.com being slammed? I don't understand the big deal. If you don't like somebody's website/blog, go somewhere else. There's plenty of them - find one you'll like.

Stop hating on her for having a good life and wanting to share.

Rick Santelli

After his televised, well-publicized rant last week, Rick Santelli says he and his wife feel threatened because Press Secretary Robert Gibbs responded:

I’ve watched Mr. Santelli on cable the past 24 hours or so. I’m not entirely sure where Mr. Santelli lives or in what house he lives, but the American people are struggling every day to meet their mortgages, stay in their jobs, pay their bills, send their kids to school.

Where is the threat? Mr. Santelli, no disrespect to your wife, who I am sure is as lovely as you, but did you have the nerve to think you can call out the President of the United States the way you did and receive no response? In your tirade, you asked if President Obama was listening. Well, he was. The next time you decide to make a bold move, you should have the fortitude to see it all the way through and not whine when you receive a response like you're five and somebody's picking on you.

And no, I am not threatening you. You cheeky punk.

Doesn't he look fabulous? Of course, Mr. Rue's journey was not without controversy, but attention is attention. Isn't that right, Mr. Rue?

Kathy Griffin - Award Winning Sleaze

I have never, ever liked Kathy Griffin. Initially, it was just because I didn't find her funny. At all. The sound of her voice is more annoying to me than that of a chainsaw. She must know she isn't funny, because her obnoxious, offensive behavior serves as a distraction to her lack of talent. She goes around offending people, desperate to keep the fire going. I remember reading about an incident where she made a drug reference to Dakota Fanning when Fanning was very young, drawing the ire of Steven Spielberg. Then there was the time she called Pink the b-word. I wish Pink would have kicked her ugly a-word. When she had that botched cosmetic surgery and was crying and talking about her horrible ordeal, she got no sympathy from me. I watched her for about a minute and changed the channel, but not before noting she was still just as ugly as she was before she had surgery. Anyway, what Griffin does must work for her on some level, somebody somewhere is watching her.

This is what she said, upon winning an Emmy in 2007(sent to me by Mrs. Jovial):

"A lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this award. I want you to know that no one had less to do with this award than Jesus," an exultant Griffin said, holding up her statuette. "Suck it, Jesus. This award is my god now."

Asked about her speech backstage a short time later, an unrepentant Griffin added, "I hope I offended some people. I didn't want to win the Emmy for nothing."

I believe Kathy Griffin is as ugly on the inside as she is on the outside, and that's saying something. She has no sense of character, no integrity. She is small in mind and in spirit. Her behavior is that of a very, very unhappy person. Think about it - what happy person do you know behaves the way she does? If she didn't want to thank Jesus, then so be it. Why use her limited acceptance speech time to specify who she doesn't want to thank?

Her words and intentional ugliness will come back to haunt her. Let's see how that statuette will see her through it.

Chris Brown and Rihanna

"Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired. I am seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones and I am committed, with God's help, to emerging a better person."

So he goes ape sh!t on his girlfriend, beats her up, bites her, runs and hides from the police like a little punk, and this is what he has to say? It would have been better if he had kept his mouth shut. Let's break it down:

"Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired" sounds like he's referring to an unfortunate incident in which he had no involvement.

"I am seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones and I am committed, with God's help, to emerging a better person." This means he's hiding out with his Mommy, chilling for a minute while his boys stop by. Is he truly seeking God's help, or is somebody else's pastor stopping by because it looks good?

If he is truly sorry and remorseful he will hold himself accountable, and be sincere in his quest to make this right. That is not what's happening here.

I'm calling it. Perhaps his 'people' will try to persuade Rihanna to issue a statement of her own to take some of the heat off of him. After some time, probably after he thinks everyone has calmed down, he's going to issue another statement, equal to this one in insincerity. After that, all in the World of Chris Brown will be right again. He will continue to sing, people will continue to buy his music, and he will continue beat up on girls.

I believe this incident is just the beginning with Chris Brown. He has let us all know who he really is, not just by what he did, but by his response to what he did. Rihanna may be only the first victim of Chris Brown and he will get worse. Yes, there are two sides to every story, but only one person got the stuff beaten out of her, the police were only called on one person, that person was gone when the police arrived. I know it's still unfolding and he can turn things around, but he is not off to a good start. Showing accountability would take some character, something he's sorely lacking.

And yes, I know he's 19, but think about it. What kind of damage will he be doing at 25, 30, 40?

I pray Rihanna makes a recovery from everything she lost on that fateful night in question. I pray I am wrong about Chris Brown.

I'd like to know what you think about this situation.

To be continued.
