Hey, I could have called him a "Fluffer Nutter" but then I would have had to explain marshmellow whip to the masses. :-)

LOL Woofy!! I'm not sure I ever actually ate any of that stuff. Just the sight of it grossed me out.

Fluffer COULD have an off off off Broadway show if he wants. Lots of people do - they just pay for it themselves and it usually runs a day or two. I was all excited when one of my friends told me he was in a show and then he told me it really wasn't anything, since anyone can do it.

I had to laugh at Teenage Jordan's Mom's reaction to the lack of professionalism in the movie set.

Honey, your daughter was getting paid $50 for the day, and the movie starred Heidi Fleiss. Just what did you expect?

And the language that came out of her mouth! No wonder Jordan is the way she is. Heck, I didn't hear my mother swear until I was well into my 20's, and then she begrudgingly said the word damn to one of my idiot brothers' wives.

I was also struck by the hypocrisy of Emily Tye's mom complaining that the negative attention of the mother who didn't want to be filmed by the TV cameras might affect Emily's chances. Hmmm, didn't seem to be a problem before when the cameras would make the judges notice her more...

And why was Jordan's mom so upset with what Heidi said about her daughter? She is a smart a**! Jordan knows it. And honestly, it is just too painful to watch Mr.(Ms.) Nutter's total lack of regard for anyone else's feelings in his family.

Tish - From what I've picked up from the thread, many folks think he's gay and his marriage is one of convenience - with a slew of kids just to prove he's not. I sometimes catch this daytime soap and when Mr. Nutter did his audition, I was struck by how much they sound the same. I don't like the guy on the show, btw. LOL

I think the "fall out" show after the finale next week ought to be really interesting. I can't believe Jordan's mother has only been married six mo. and she's not living w/her husband. Sheesh.. not a great way to start a marriage! They're making it look like she moves back to him, but who knows w/previews.

I think Shane is in for some big disappointments. His mom gets on my nerves.

I didn't see all of this show, but from what I've seen, there's only one parent/child relationship which seems healthy - is young Jordan and her mom.

Hmmm.. don't you think they could have found enough showbiz moms & dads that they could have cast someone without the same name? LOL

I think I may be the only one who found the Fluffernutter comment amusing on a whole different level. Occasionally actors for "erotic films" need help in getting themselves adequately *ahem* prepared for the shoot (so to speak). Some prefer the help of another person in this *ahem* preparation, and that person is called a fluffer.

Oh, just caught the Mr. (Ms.) Nutter comment. I assumed that meant his wife is equally unconcerned about anyone else's feelings; after all, he couldn't have moved them all two New York without her consent.

Mr. Nutter just goes right through me! His poor daughter. She tried so hard to get him to listen and when he said "I'm hearing you" and she said I dont think you are - I'm thinking, you know nothing's going to change - he's still going to make her go to auditions. How can that mother sit there and not do anything??? All those kids are miserable! What a whacked out family!

The older Jordan - man, that girl needs some counseling. I think she's jealous of her younger sister and has some serious issues going on. I hate to say it, but she is a smart**s - but someone said it before - with the mother cursing and freaking out, you can kinda see where she gets that from.

Poor Shane! When his mother thought he was going to be performing in the stadium - with it full - in front of thousands of people!!! And then to be in the little county fair! The only people in the audience too looked like the girls parents and that was it. I can just remember her telling the girls parents, "Now you need to be prepared because everyone will becoming up asking for autographs" - did the goats come up and ask for an autograph - they probably just ate the paper instead! That poor mom - talk about putting your son on a pedastol (however you spell it)

The Little Jordan - I think that seems like a healthy relationship with her and her mom - that one doesnt bother me that much. Maybe all the other trama makes that look good.

As for little Emily - that mother - UGG! All I can remember is when she woke that baby up and told her to get ready and when she didnt want to - she held her up to the mirror and said, "Is that a pretty girl, I dont think so" - talk about having issues on beauty when Emily grows up! How do you tell a beautiful child she's not pretty? And the "Act like a 4 year old" thing? And taking advantage of grandma - dishing out the cash for this stuff - I agree, pagaents shouldn't be for children under the age of 10 when they dont know any better to make decisions for themselves.

But, you know what - I love this show! How screwed up is that? I'm going to miss it when its gone. I'm anxious for the finale next week. And I'm so mad I missed the Oprah show! Dang - where's reruns when you need them!

Kellsma,
It was on today at 3:30 pm eastern time. I missed it last night also. I can't remember the exact times it is repeated, but if you go to the Bravo website and click on show, there is a link at the top that says "schedule" it will tell you what times it is going to be shown again. I saw last night that it would be repeated several times before the next show, the finale on Tuesday, May 18th.

In answer about Shane.

Mom thought he was going to be singin in the large stadium at the fair, but instead he was out on the grounds outside the stadium, under a tent. Small crowd. Good thing though since he is sooooooo bad. He also did an acting audition yesterday, the acting coach said he has no acting ability. I agree.

Nutter dad... grrr... what can I say. Not only is he a bad actor... when the daughter and Nutter mom finally started to talk about the daughter missing home (Vermont), Nutter dad says to camera "Yeah, I was really torn up". He might have rolled his eyes. Then later he said something to his daughter after she complained about all of them having to live in that tiny apartment, "why do you a 16-year old need your privacy?" Hello!

When Pageant mom, Pageant grandma and Emily were shooed off by the checking-in people at one of the pageants - Pageant mom said something about the checking-in people not wanting to be on film. Ummm, ya think? They probably know what kind of reaction most viewers outside their bizarre little world have when they see something about these kiddie pageants - ick.

Teenage Jordan and mom sit there looking all solemn and serious while Heidi Fleiss gives her "acting" advice - lol.

Did you notice one of the Nutter boys and an older woman mugging in the background for the camera during the daughter's heartfelt talk?
The whole scene with Heidi was surreal. I thought the mom was crying because of the way Heidi talked to the daughter, not what Heidi said about Jordan. If some broad told my daughter those things she would have heard from me!

Does anyone else think the younger sister of the "Big Jordan" is absolutely adorable? She's really photogenic. I think THAT is the kid in the family who could really have a career!

<< Some prefer the help of another person in this *ahem* preparation, and that person is called a fluffer.>>

ROFL - I never heard that before. Thanks for the laugh Prisonerno6!!

Poor little Emile and Shane's mothers give me the absolute creeps. I need to catch these shows again, since I've missed a lot, esp. all the the "nutter stuff!" lol

I just can't believe Shane's mother, and her superiority complex. Her "we're experienced professionals" comments are just....well I don't even know what to say about it.

First of all, an experienced professional would know exactly where this performance was going to be held, including the set up of the stage and all that. Second, that "choreographed" routine was as amature as I've ever seen. Even my niece's recent production (elementary school) of The Wizard of Oz was more professional than that. Actually, my niece's school did an awesome job of it, probably better than many high schools!

I saw on the "flip book" bio they showed on Shane today he was on Barney. Ugh! Back when I had to watch that show with my niece, I remember a little blond boy who you could just tell was a horrid little brat. I wonder if that was Shane! Funny, Barney isn't listed on his bio on IMDB. In fact, Raven also isn't listed on little Jordan's bio on IMDB either.

The Ten Worst Movies of All Time
Sun, May 9, 2004
Just when you’ve decided to stop watching reality TV and lose a few pounds, there’s a sale on Hostess Twinkies and Showbiz Moms and Dads is on Bravo. Showbiz Moms and Dads (SBM&D), a heartwarming tale of 12 children (7 of which are in one family) and how their parents are trying to make them famous. The kids, Jordan B., Jordan M., Shane, Emily and The Nutter family children, are being forced to be famous by their deranged mothers and fathers. Each Story is different and each one more disturbing than the rest.

Jordan Moseley, this 8-year-old cutie is going places. Jordan has been on That’s So Raven, the less then exciting Disney sitcom. Her agent and mother, Kimberly Stephens, was a former M.C. Hammer dancer (as every 4 out of ten women at age 30-35 was) and knows her away around the business. The two have a best friend type relationship. Jordan and Kimberly are almost boring how unshowbiz-mom-pushing-kid-like they are. I’m hoping that Jordan will get caught doing drugs or her mom will kill someone. The only halfway bad thing that has happened to them is that Jordan has to take ballet and doesn’t want to.

Jordan Barren, this 14-year-old girl is a who is damn ugly. She’s been turned away from agents for her pimples and less than appealing overall look. People like her voice but she refuses to do voiceover work. She constantly criticizes her mother-including her sandwiches. Her mother, Tiffany (age 33), had Jordan when she was 19 and has regretted it ever since. Tiffany recently got married (for the first time) and her husband lives in Colorado while she and her kids live in L.A. She is forgetful and always gets lost. Tiffany’s life seems to be run by her daughter who has been keeping her from her husband. Tiffany’s other daughter, Samantha (age 9), is starving for attention and gleefully told her mother she got every question wrong on her quiz at school. Jordan has a small (unpaid) part in a Heidy Fleiss movie next episode so it may get interesting.

Shane Klingensmith (A.K.A. Shane K), the 13-year-old Aaron Carter wannabe is a terrible singer, with no rhythm and no sense of style. First episode he was wearing a mock turtleneck sweater and a bulky silver chain. He recruited 2 of his classmates to be his back-up dancers. One, an Annie with a bad haircut look alike, was a foot shorter than Shane and the other a foot taller. His mother, Debbie, is a former dance teacher and thinks her kid has talent. She blames his bad singing on his voice changing, I blame it on the kid being a bad singer. Shane’s agent thinks he has talent and thinks he should be a model, which proves everyone from Kissimmee, FL is insane.


The Nutters (which means gatherer of nuts which Duncan had to inform us) is everyone’s favorite stupid family moved three years ago from a roomy Vermont home to a 2 bedroom New York apartment to pursue acting careers. The 7 kids, Duncan Jr. (age 17), Grace (age 16), Aaron (age 13), Ellie (age 12), Emma (age 10), Isaiah (age 9), Forrest (age 7), all hate living in New York and seem to be trying to sabotage their own auditions. Their father, Duncan, is a former drama teacher and is pushing his kids to be actors. Duncan is clearly gay, loves theater, getting his hair tinted, shopping at Macys. Duncan seems to have spawned 7 kids to seem less gay but no ones falling for it. Their mother, Cynthia, hates acting along with the kids. Aaron is the only child to get a job, he’s in the traveling production in The Full Monty, but is less than enthusiastic about it. Duncan (A.K.A Fluffer Nutter) is throwing away his only (and undeserved) chance at his family’s fame because a contract he looked at had a few typos. Duncan is psycho dad and he’ll be fun to watch.

Emily Tye, the 4-year-old pageant queen who supposedly “loves doing pageants.” Her mother, Debbie, entered her in a pageant when she was 1 and since then she has been dressing her up as a prosti-tot to be in pageants. After a 48 crown winning streak, the family is having a hard time getting used to losing. We watch Emily get a spray on tan, have pageant boot camp, and compete in pageants. Toothless Grandma Tye says they spend $20,000 on pageants a year. Emily always cries about doing pageants and her mother insists she loves it. Her mother spent 500 dollars on one dress for the “Natural Girls” Pageant, which by the way was the same as the rest of them.

Five stories, 12 kids who are going to grow up and kill themselves. You can’t watch but you must. Who doesn’t love watch kids cry as their parents tell them to suck it up. But of course it’s on the kids’ best interest

Thanks for the article Texannie, not only is it on the mark but I see the writer "borrowed" my Fluffer Nutter nickname. :-)

Nutter has delusions of adequacy! He's a terrible father and his wife just smiles adoringly at him as if he is/was her last hope for marriage and family. I would have paid "big bucks" for her to turn to him and say: "Let the kids be kids ... we're going home to Vermont. You stay here and take tickets for THE PRODUCERS, but the kids and I are outta here!!!!"
