Bobby Trendy was too busy?
Did anyone else’s jaw hit the floor when Jennifer Lopez performed her freakin’ Fiat commercial during the AMAs? In a Kardashian-like move of money-grabbing chutzpah, an actual Fiat was unveiled on stage behind her, she got in and “drove” it in front of a green screen. Synergy has never been so crass. She should have just “driven” it to Kohl’s and outfitted her dancers in that crappy clothing line of hers while she was at it. Plugged two things at once. And don’t even get me started on those ridiculous Fiat commercials where she drives herself to the Bronx and acts like it’s the most normal thing in the world. J-Lo does not drive a white Fiat, she doesn’t think of the Bronx as her “playground,” and she doesn’t smile benevolently when poor people chase her car. I didn’t buy that Jenny-from-the-block crap 10 years ago, and I’m not buying it now. You know, I was sort of liking her after her American Idol stint, but now I’m getting irritated again. It’s like you give her a little of her early aughts fame back, and she slips right back into diva mode.
From BlindGossip: “Not all celebrities burst out of the closet. Some just peek out to see if it’s OK to tell the truth. Such is the case of this gay news personality. Even though he’s not an atheist, he has reported from plenty of foxholes. On his new show, he will actually mention his partner’s name on air for the first time. This will happen during one of his first few shows. If that action gets a good reception, he’ll start doing it more. Baby steps, people.”
Not to still be harping on Gaga’s annoying VMAs schtick three days later but…. Kelly Osborne tweeted : “I love Lady Gaga but I wish she would start giving credit where credit is due!” and linked to this video starring Annie Lennox in greaser drag at the 1984 Grammys. Tumblr blog TotallyNotKelsey got on the bandwagon, too, posting a picture of Garth Brooks as Chris Gains saying: “Lady Gaga, you look so pleased with yourself tonight, but someone already took the alter-ego game and flipped it on its head. In 1999. AND YOU CAN’T BEAT GARTH BROOKS AT HIS OWN GAME.” To which I might say: ZIGGY STARDUST, people. Bowie did the alter-ego thing before EVERYONE. Anyway, I think we can all just agree that Joe Calderone needs to go away.
