Amy is stone sober!
Tonya and Chiara are modest.
Josh is serene.
Gerry hardly talks at all and is trim and toned.
Eric is Einstein
Lisa has a low voice.
Lori has an enchanting accent.
Roddy isn't manipulative.
Marcellas isn't the least bit emotional.
Tohya's a devited nin,


I just watched the first Anna Nicole Show on E!

Such an embarrassment... possibly the most painful thing I've seen on tv. Ever.

I couldn't even bring myself to give it a chance. After months of promos for that show, I couldn't bear it.

Besides....that woman's voice make me want to crawl out of my skin.

It was FAR worse than any of the promos.. worse than a train wreck. worse than josh not shutting up.

She's stuffed into and falling out of her clothes, she's clearly stoned, she falls down any number of times, she whispers to the camera that she wants to go home and masturbate, announces she hasn't had sex in two years, looking for a house to rent she leaps on someone's bed and simulates sex, one needs subtitles to understand her (Ozzy is clear as a bell in comparison).

She's an idiot, she whines and whimpers.

And it is only a half hour show.

She makes every houseguest ever seem.. balanced, healthy, clear headed..

Just appalling.

i thought nun, too.

i saw bits of the anna show and found it way too sad. for example: i love the osbournes cause i can laugh with them; but, this show you have to laugh at her. aghhh... her poor son. and, i love this show cause i get to gossip and plot without hurting anyone.

our HGs are so intellectual compared to that...

I thought the show was GOD-AWFUL!

It will never be seen on my tv ever again. The editing was bad, she was bad, I felt embarassed just watching it. Completely opposite of The Osbournes, a show done right.

So glad to see I wasn't the only one who thought it stunk.

Good lord, that was the worst show ever. The expression "train wreck" also crossed my mind, as well as "horrified fascination". To compare it favorably to The Osbournes, as I saw in some pre-show reviews, is an insult. Did her late husband's son (you know, the whole court thing) bribe someone to produce this horrid, unflattering portrayal of her life? I was floored by her choice of clothing when she went on her first round of house hunting. Even the theme song was irritating. I generally try to not post negative comments and can find something positive to say about all the shows I watch, but this time I find it impossible. Well, ok, she does have a cute dog.

Yep, compared to Anna Nicole, the hamsters are angelic and normal.

I would be curious to see this Anna Nicole show you talk about. Could you inform me what is the schedule (day and hour) of this show please?

The channel is "E"? Does it mean "Entertainment" channel?

Oups, I come here again to add it to my post. Gab reply to Truly during I wrote my post myself. :)
You said Tuesday is the schedule Gab? Could you confirm please, you or somebody else? Thank you.

I wonder if there's a thread created for Anna's new show. I thought it was awful, but then also funny.

It was incredibly sad, especially for her son. I hope her lawsuit money comes through soon and she can ditch this gig. She doesn't even seem self-aware enough to realize what she is subjecting herself to. I read somewhere that she is hoping to get acting gigs out of this exposure, but so far, she can't even play herself successfully.

Thanks Duncan. I'm not sure if I have this channel at home but I will check for it. If I don't have, with everything posters here said about it, maybe I will be almost happy to don't see that. But I will try to check.

Very off topic but..

Did anyone truly torture themselves, as I did, and watch the life story of Anna Nicole that E! showed prior to her show? It kinda explained (to me, anyway), how she came to be what she is now. Sad to watch but my impression was that she thinks she is living her ultimate fantasy life - the sad part is her son. The saddest part will be when the invitations stop coming, her entourage leaves and she has noone to turn to since she has alienated herself from her family.

It was like watching a Jerry Springer guest who won the lotto.

I made the mistake of checking out one scene on the RealOne homepage.. (apparently "outtakes" or something like that).. Those few seconds (I had to close realplayer to preserve my sanity) made me VERY relieved I do not have E!.. I do feel sorry for her though, to think that she thinks people are going to watch this for any other reason than to laugh at her, but that even that is too painful.. Oh well, I guess at least she has all the money she needs from her old (and now deceased) husband..

I know Ozzy was "interesting" because he was such a wreck, but I think the appeal there was the true insanity of a "heavy metal legend" living a normal family life.. However, in the case of Anna Nicole and (shudder) Liza Minelli.. We have fading celebrating *trying* to act "normal", which I think are recipies for disaster.. (to be honest, I haven't seen anything about the Liza show, but I just can't fathom it being bearable)..

Now, if they wanted to make a "reality" show about someone that people might watch, chose someone like Alice Cooper (I know, similar to Ozzy, but another classic case of bizarre parallell lives), Arnold Schwarzenegger doing T3 while considering running for Governor or Ben Affleck and Matt Damon (given their history of creative ideas like Good Will Hunting and Project Greenlight, their "parallell celebrity status" with Bourne Identy and Sum of All fear, their "irreverent side" like playing themselves playing actors in "Jay and Silent Bob" or even their respective "outside interests" like Jennifer Lopez).. Of course, none of these people would probably willingly do this, but it would be good television....

Excellent points here to ponder, Espen.

Do we really need more than The Osborne's? They are enough to both amuse me and make me feel like the most normal person on the planet. Why is it if one show works rather than any producer coming up with any new, creative idea they have to do 2000 ripoffs that always pale in comparison?

I think Anna Nicole's attorney, Howard Stern is the puppetmaster here. He goes to all of her interviews and runs the show. When she did a group interview last month, the reporter in my paper said it was just embarrassing and that asking any real questions would be like hurting a child.

The really sad thing is that Anna thinks that this "show" will convince people that she's a serious actress.

But I really DO appreciate the hamsters in the house more now.

Any money from Anna's dead ancient husband will be held up in appeals court for years.

I agree that The Osbournes is enough. Sufficient.
I don't want Liza or Anna or P. Diddy or Cybill Shepard.

And compared to Anna, Tonya could also be a nun or a nin or a mom... :)

Okay...how about for the next "big twist" in BB3 they introduce Anna Nicole Smith as resident house mother??? LOL

Now that might be some interesting tv, SanFran! But only if she didn't drag Howard K. Stern along with her.

That was the god-awfullest show I've ever seen. And if that was the BEST of what was filmed, imagine what was left on the cutting room floor! At least the Osbourne's are entertaining. I didn't laugh even once. Can't say that I reached the point of feeling sorry for her. When she was humping the pillows all I could do was shake my head. I won't watch it again, not because I found it offensive, but because it's of no entertainment value whatsoever. Wonder if E cancels shows due to small audiences like the networks do. If so it won't last long. Thank goodness.

Ya know, that really was the worst half hour of television I have ever watched--it made Pink Lady and Jeff or Cop Rock look Pulitzer-worthy. I don't know if her comments about her farting dog, her jokes about being in a porno, or her fears as she approached the gate of the house she looked at disturbed me most, but when you put them all together, you realize you have become the creepiest voyeur of the sickest pseuo-celeb to emerge since Leona Helmsley.

Now I think I need to go loofa myself until my skin is raw.

Gabmeister & Duncan - Thanks for the heads up. I don't get the E! channel here, but I do get a station called 'Star' that normally carries all the 'E!' programs. Like the one someone mentioned about Anna Nicole Smith's life story...I seen that here (Montreal) before. So I'm gonna go check my on-screen programming and see if they might carry it again. Thanks! :)
