Yikes: Madonna puts on a flowery conservative dress and reads her children’s book to raise money for her Kabala religion. She is trying to convert Britney Spears too with a red wrist ribbon and a smoochy-fest. I can’t look at her without thinking of a certain scene in a video by the roadside.
And speakin’ of nud-idity, Yoko Ono takes off her clothes for some social cause and statement…DOUBLE YIKES! As we often say in the summer in Berkeley, “Put it On, Put It (BACK) On!”
And Arnold is gonna convert his Hummer to hydrogen fuel cell…
And this is just from the flash page of my Browser home as I log on…
Ono wasn’t a cutie pie when she was younger, why does she think that takin’ everything off now will aid any cause or charity, it’s sending shivers up my spine as I write this just not trying to imagine what that scene will look like.
As for Madonna, did she give Britney the tongue on that kiss? Inquiring minds want to know. Madonna could read her Sex book to me if she wants – forget the kids
for lack of better words: I agree with Jerry
No really, I have long ago given up on understanding what in the world is going on in the minds of the rich and famous
I say it’s all this neohippyism that is at the root of the problem. Also Hollywood has corrupted the youth for so long that they are now the old and the old are being corrupted by a media machine gone mad. Ultimately, the love of money is the root of all evil, and it is that root which feeds the monster machine, which feeds the root of neohippyism.
Everyone makes fun of us in the South, but we at least don’t have that stuff going on here . . . If she lived here, Yoko would hopefully be arrested for indecent exposure, and if assaulting the eyes is a crime, she’s be down for that too. I don’t think anyone here knows what kabala is either. And we don’t care what fuel you run in your hummer.
I wasn’t sure what was up with that tongue-fest either, except perhaps publicity-grabbing. Madonna has always been into shocking folks, and Britney has to substitute something for talent . . .
It’s not really a strange world at all. More of the world has come out in broad daylight that use to be kepted in locked closets, and behind closed doors. It’s just for the first time in 70,000 years ago that we have a way of making it (the event) appear around the world in seconds. Which at one time, depending on the time period might take centuries, decades, months, days to reach someone else, or somewhere else, which then couldn’t be responded to in time to affect the outcome of the event or stop it.
The wierdness, the beauty, the ugliness, the joy of our world is always there, it’s just that we know about in seconds now rather than months, weeks, days etc.
A friend’s remark after seeing the “Two Virgins” album cover:
“Now I know what John sees in her. But I still don’t know why he wants it.”
To be fair, he wasn’t exactly the most preposessing physical specimen I’ve ever seen, either. And catty remarks aside, she was reasonably attractive back then - not Playboy-pretty, but far from avert-your-eyes ugly. It’s her self-important, pretentious “art” (and the self-congratulatory preening that goes with it) that would have driven me around the bend posthaste. But she made him happy, apparently. Tastes differ.
But I still think the best way to use her new “art” piece in a fundraiser would be as a threat - “if we don’t raise $XXXX by 8 PM, Yoko will take her clothes off!”
I’m not sure what a neo-hippy is, Walden, but as an old hippy, I’ll tell you that the love of money is definitely not part of the original hippy code.
I will agree, though, that the money grabbers are going to be the ruination of this world.
As far as who’s kissing who, or who’s taking of their clothes, or what car any of them are driving: I’m more worried about what leaders of government and industry are doing than what actors, pop singers and assorted hangers-on are up to.
My sister-in-law and her husband are self-identified hippies, but I’d term them neohippies. The movement seems to involve D.I.N.K.s and preppies who want to have “a cause.” I can’t imagine any self-respecting hippie of bygone years ever stepping into a Starbucks or a Sushi joint, but I’ve been wrong before, so … Ah well.
Yes, indeed. Bread and circuses, eh, Jim? If we have Madonna’s narcissism and the like to be blinkered with, just maybe we’ll forget to check out the big picture.
Here in our area we had a bunch of Grandma’s get together and they did a nude calendar for a charity. Had them on a local radio station to publicise it.
Burrrrrrrr…
I am staying OUT of the calender stores this Christmas.
