Spewing Venom

Spewing venom does not grow flowers. 
Before I head out on my trip tomorrow, I wanted to talk about this...
Does anyone remember this night?
The above photo was taken the night of the Miss USA pageant. I normally don't watch them but for some reason I managed to catch it. I saw the above events unfold. Did you see it?
That's Miss California, Carrie Prejean. She received her judges question from Perez Hilton (who btw I wouldn't call him an expert on judging beauty), the question was "Do you think America should legalize gay marriage?" No matter what your opinion may be (I don't want to know) she answered what she personally thought. That was her right and opinion... She didn't win. 

Que the next day, major backlash. Things came out about her mother possibly being in a same sex relationship, a few months later unclothed photos appeared of her. Then recently a sex tape comes out, etc etc She's no longer affiliated with the Miss USA program. Now somewhere in this time she wrote a book. Yes, you read that right. She wrote a book. 

Earlier this week she was on The View. Seeing as how I now watch it most mornings before work I saw the episode. From the moment this girl came out on stage she was nothing but hostile. The women were trying to be nice and she would bounce back with major venom spewing out of her mouth. Even Whoppi commented on it a day later!  Then last night this very awkward incident happened....

Did you see it? It was VERY bizarre. She's on Larry King Live, she basically just wants to plug her "book". He wants to ask her questions. She basically refuses to answer questions and take viewer calls. Starts calling LK's behavior inappropriate, takes off the mic and just sits there. She literally just. sat. there. Um...awkward. 

I'm really hoping her 15 mins of fame are over very, very soon.

I weep for these children...

About a week ago, I was sitting at home on a Tuesday evening with nothing to do. I had already watched my usual shows being: Dancing with the Stars and American Idol. So it was 10pm and I was roaming the channels. I came across a show on TLC called Toddlers & Tiaras

First of all...Oh.My.God! It was like a bad car wreck you just couldn't look away from. I couldn't stop watching. I felt horrible for some of these kids. CLEARLY some of them did NOT want to be there. It was clear the mothers had a major hand in their children being there. 
I have no problem with the natural girl pageants. However..the "glitz" pageants...NO! This is where they have them wear fake hair pieces, false eye lashes, fake teeth, spray tans. Who spray tans a 5 year old?!?!?! 
These moms need mental help. I can tell most of them were overweight kids who never did pageants and clearly wanted to. 
Now, don't get me wrong I have no problem with pageants but there's always a line and in this show it was clearly getting crossed.
