Our hero Amanda Lorber, star of MTV's surprisingly almost-completely-awesome The Paper has written an open letter taking on one of her critics: Alexandria Symonds, who penned this outrageous micharacterization of Lorbie for Columbia University's "The Eye."
Here's the highlight:
OMG, how I love that "(national television)" bit. The rest can be found here.I'm not saying I don't have enemies, obviously I do. You seem to be one of them, but as I write now, I'm starting to see where it's coming from. It's a different kind of jealousy. The type spewed from young women who resent teenage girls that get their names out there. You,
Ms. Symonds, are obviously a fundamentally bitter woman. You degrade the work ethic and academic values of a 17-year-old in order to cure your self-consciousness and upset at perhaps never being recognized for your work when you're through with "The Specator." In fact, if my staff hadn't been excitedly 'googling' every article written about our (national television) show, I would never had come across your disgusting piece.You should be ashamed, sincerely (and I do mean that), Amanda Lorber
postscript: I might have been "too young to subject" myself to doing this television show, but apparently, I'm not too young to be disparaged and intensely criticized by you.
Did you know that the Bratz Babes got preggers and made some Babyz? And that those Bratz' Babies are just as into clothes, makeup, boys, slutty pop songs, and just generally looking "hotter than hot?" as their slut moms? Or that these Bratz Babyz went on to squeeze out a line of Bratz Babyz' Babyz, called Itzy Bitzy Bratz?
I didn't.
(Wait until about 0:30; the BABYZ don't appear until then)
It's about a notoriously well-endowed sadsack gym coach who in middle-age discovers his SINGLET SNAKE is the key to a later life renaissance!
Does he become a gigolo? A porn star? The fact that he is a gym coach suggests maybe something a bit sportier...perhaps a professional penis rope jumper?
Usually a requirement for these kind of jobs is a semi-positive relationship with the law. Check and check. Pirro sure knows a lot about the legal system. The former Westchester District Attorney has been under state and federal criminal investigation for hiring former New York City police commissioner Bernard Kerik (remember him?) to arrange an illegal recording of her husband, who she suspected of adultery. Oops. But that was just one lapse, right?
In the 1990s, Al Pirro cheated on Jeanine and fathered a child out of wedlock! But to Jeanine, nothing says I'm sorry like tax evasion and a boatload of really expensive gifts. Al was convicted of income tax fraud in 2000 and spent 11 months behind bars. Jeanine, who was serving as DA at the time, signed those illegal taxes too even though she was let off the hook. Here are some details from New York magazine:
Though she co-signed several of the couple's joint tax returns, she has offered no explanations. Not about the Mercedes, which she drives each day past the $40,000 electronic gates of her $1.7 million Harrison home -- gates Al claimed as a business deduction -- or about the deductions of a $3,700 backyard awning; $10,000 in furnishings for a West Palm Beach vacation home; another Mercedes, for Jeanine's mother; cruise tickets; stereos; fine wines; cigars; toys; and even salaries for workers who baby-sat the Pirro children, picked up the dry cleaning, and took the family's pot-bellied pigs to the vet.
I, for one, can't wait to see Jeanine's "fresh" face again every weekday!
In case the last post made you ask, "What stars besides Fergalicious/The Dutchess were on the Trashy Mickey Mouse Club?"
If you don't want to watch the entire 8 minute video, I have done it for you and here is the answer:
1) Fergalicious/The Dutchess
2) MARTIKA
3) Eric Balfour (BEWARE: Link "Dangerous For Work!")
4) J-LoHe
5) Some others of questionable fame
This is not as good a track record as the real Mickey Mouse Club. On the other hand, do they perform STEVIE NICKS on the Mickey Mouse Club?!
