Sagging stars go for sleazy 'Nip/Tuck' (ewwww!)

So what do you do if you're an old and washed-up, or not-so-old, but increasingly forgotten actor anxious to regain the spotlight of celebrity? As a rule, you look to associate yourself with a project that might jump-start your career. It is nice to be asked to participate in a project popular with the public. You jump at the chance for a supporting role in a Steven Spielberg movie. It's even better when the show is the rage of Hollywood itself and generating the all-important "buzz" among Tinseltown's sycophantic critics. If you're desperate enough, you'll latch on to this project, no matter how distasteful it is.

"Joan Rivers has made appearances as a character requiring face-lifts, and last year appeared as herself, offering a testimonial (including a demonstration) for a semen-based facial cream."

How do they... why would they... Oh, never mind.

Revolting. I wish I hadn't read Brent's article--way more than I want to know. If these actors don't have any morals, I wonder if they have any personal standards. "Anything for money," maybe.

Well at least she hasn't stooped down to Steve Martin's level and selling Penis Cream.

"Steve Martin's All-Natural Penis Beauty Cream.. New Formula. You know it's safe. Why? Because it's tested on animals. And, if you order by mail, don't worry - it's shipped in a plain brown wrapper with the words "Not Penis Cream" stamped all over it in big red letters. So pick up a jar today, and remember, it's the only cream with a picture of my penis on it!"

Turn off the tube. It's the tool that the corrupt and perverted enemy uses to corrupt and pervert others. Misery loves company.

The only thing Steve Martin has ever done that *I've* found even slightly amusing is some of his early Saturday Night Live stuff.

Never cared much for his stand up, but I really liked "LA Story"

The only thing that he ever did that I found remotely amusing was "King Tut". I can't stand comedians,generally speaking,anyway. Robin Williams,Jerry Lewis-blech.

That would be Ellen DeGenerate.

"There's the morgue worker who saves his dead sister's head to assemble, along with assorted other female body parts, a Frankenstein-like monster with which to have sex. There is the rapist who rapes both women and men (the star gets it anally) and then slashes their faces.

There's the surgeon who, we learn, was born without proper male genitals, has a sister who, like he, is also deformed and was also the product of an incestuous relationship, and so he has an incestuous relationship with her. The main surgeons are more normal. If they're not visiting prostitutes for threesomes, these adults go to college parties to have college girls perform oral sex on them.




Yuck!

I stand corrected. I knew someone had their head up Ann's skirt.

In addition to this show being gory and vulgar, it is also relentlessly depressing. That's one reason i watched a few episodes the first season and then gave up on it. Not only were the plots absurd, but everyone in the show lives a very sad and desperate life. Who needs to see that. I guess the only good thing about it is our own lives seem much more normal and happy compared to the nut job characters on this "entertainment" show.

I saw previes for the upcoming season of a show called "Interventions". It was so sick I swore it was a Comedy Central spoof. But it (apparently) is REAL! I couldn't imagine watching that slop in a million years.
