PING!

Entertainers, is there anything they don't know? - (with compliments to Homer J. Simpson)

[I still care]

On Brit last night they lampooned this.

They had her weeping and wailing on camera, and then had Larry cut in asking her to sing a song. It was so idiotic.

[Polybius]

Perhaps the initiative came from Celine's people. Which raises the question of why on earth the lady who gave us show tunes from the sinking of the Titanic really thought that we wanted to hear her opinions of the search and rescue policies of the United States government.

My brother-in-law is a Naval aviator in a search and rescue squadron.

Can I get him booked on Larry King so that America can hear his opinions on how Celine should sing?

[grellis]

The best people I have known have done their crying in private and perform their acts of charity behind the scenes -- often in complete anonymity.

So true...and yet

We weep for people we see on television whom we have never met, but cannot name the person who lives three doors away and have no idea of their pain, needs and fears.

so presumptive. A great read, nevertheless. It is not the celebrities and their riches that will put the lives of the Katrina survivors back together, incidentally. Money is great; money sure helps in a time of crisis. What will ultimately help these survivors back on their feet, however, is that nameless neighbor who will live a few doors away from them. We touch each other's lives far more intimately than we realize, certainly more than some damn chanteuse in Vegas

Donuts are proving to be of far greater utility and perspicacity than is Celine Dion, which is still not much of a compliment to glutenous, deep-fat fried rings of empty calories.

Vive le beignette!

Larry King isn't just lame. He's offensively lame.

[GMMAC]

"Entertainers, is there anything they don't know? - (with compliments to Homer J. Simpson)"

And to paraphrase Homer on msm 'news' coverage in general:
"mmmmm ... one-sided."

[Das Outsider]

It's absurdity with a French accent.

And that never happens.

I suggest we all take a trip to Celine's and go through her stuff. You know, since most of us have never touched expensive things like that. She has many cars, right? I've never touched a 2006 Dodge Charger. Has she got one of those? /sarcasm

It's insanity with a French accent.

[manwiththehands]

As a culture we have come to revere feelings rather than thought.

The "culture" of the LEFT. Succinctly, the difference between "Us" and "Them".

[onevoter]

I never quite understood how Celine climbed the ladder to fame, anyway. Her songs are dull, her personality is dull and now it seems we learn that her intellect is dull. Who in the world put this woman on the map?

[Army Air Corps]

I say "Go for it!"

Odds are that your brother-in-law can sing better than she anyway.

[clintonh8r]

Larry Zeiger.

[clintonh8r]

And what's the deal with all that hand gesturing around her face?

[TommyDale]

Her meltdown on Larry King Live was pitiful. She must have forgotten to take her medications.

[Das Outsider]

Her songs are dull, her personality is dull and now it seems we learn that her intellect is dull. Who in the world put this woman on the map?

[My Favorite Headache]

God entertainers suck

[nk_47]

Those wacky Canadians!

[aspiring.hillbilly]

What Vegas Hotel was it that gave this nitwit a $$$ multiyear contract? They need to be boycotted and freeped by email..
