So glad you wrote this,
and double glad I missed the last several episodes.
It just became a droning screed, and not a bit entertaining.
Didn't the lead actress play the wife in MINORITY REPORT? She looked so different as a brunette.
You are correct. I first decided to check out Cold Case after catching Kathryn Morris on Late Show with David Letterman. Unlike most of the actresses there for the first time, she wasn't a bit nervous or intimidated. I think she may have intimidated Dave a little bit.
Ha! I'd like to have seen that.
Bet she was a weeee bit more interesting
than Paris (uh...I dunno *giggle giggle*) Hilton
the other night on Letterman.
Thanks for the link. She was also the femme fatale
in PAYCHECK, taking full advantage of Ben's Afleck's
soon-to-be mooted memory.
Her acting skills are wasted on that glum Cold Case
character, IMO.
Everyone's more interesting than Paris Hilton. But she is smarter than she looks. She has to be. She's capitalizing on her dumb blonde image and raking in the cash -- all her own, not daddy's.
Although it's not a must-see for me, I have watched The Simple Life a few times, and have laughed myself sore. People who hate the show seem to be under the impression that it's real; I don't think it is. I think the show is part reverse Beverly Hillbillies, part Candid Camera, and part Punk'd. Heiresses Paris & Nicole, in the midst of trying to do things "real people" do, act as outrageously as possible, and the cameras show how everyone around them react.
I am laughing right now remembering how in the original series shot on an Arkansas farm, when the girls -- after getting fired from a dairy after trying to cover their wasting of fresh milk by filling out milk bottles with water -- returned to the family farm where they were living. They took off their dirty clothes, put on some bikinis, and headed for the hot tub. Upon seeing them there, the family patriarch, about to return to the fields, sarcastically said, "You girls mind if we work while you relax?" Paris & Nicole, simultaneously: "No."
I agree.
It takes a lot of work to stay that stunning.
She'll probably never 'out' her intelligence, tho,
any more than Norma Jean did.
I like your comment about this being her money she's earning
and not Daddy's.
Never saw The Simple Life.
Good review!
You did better than I. I found it too offensive way before you did. When the show began, I was excited, thought it was a great idea. But every single show was about political correctness -- showing stupid, bad people in the past being politically incorrect ("wrong") and showing how the star & her crew were so much more advanced. Heaven Forbid they just tell an interesting story!
Ping. Thanks for the FReepmail.
FYI. Thanks for the other thread.
