DVR'd Oprah interviewing the cast of Hairspray, trying to figure out if its worthy of my relatively short summer nust-see movie list (Transformers and Knocked Up). Nikki Blonksy, who plays Tracy Turnblad, seems like a sweetheart and I felt wet warm water (tear? pshaw!) around my eyes as they showed how she went from selling ice cream to her first and probably only starring role. Prove me wrong Hollywood. Heh! While that warmed the cockles of my cold heart. The rest of show was a bit annoying. Oprah was neck deep into John Travolta's backside with all the ass kissing. And that audience with all that shrieking. Shut the fuck up, you sheep.*
*In the words of Mary J. Blige from the song PMS, "Today I'm not feeling pretty. See I'm feeling quite ugly. Having one of those days, where I can't even make up my mind. So do look at me. My lower back is aching and my clothes don't fit. Ain't that a bitch." Feeling kinda bitchy today. Think my IMS is flaring up!
Of course, now I'm sort regretting giving my hard cover copy to my friend, Minerva Jane. Because if I want to read it again (although I highly doubt it. Going on that journey once was more than enough.), I may have to buy a copy emblazoned with the big O. Thanks to my Mama, I was a fan of reading long before Oprah started her little club. I don't want anybody to think Oprah's compelling me to do anything. Especially considering, she had a hand in making this The Secret nonsense such a success.
