Several years ago, I wrote a column praising a sweet and talented Welsh girl named Charlotte Church. A singer of arias and sacred songs, she possessed an uncommon sense of modesty and decorum in the skin-baring age of Britney Spears. Charlotte had the face and voice of an angel. Her signature piece was "Pie Jesu" (Blessed Jesus). Her favorite keepsake was a rosary blessed by the pope.
Or so she said at the time. Now, alas, the once-charming Charlotte is the new face of skankdom. And you won't believe what she's saying about the pope.
The 20-year-old entertainer has rebelled against the wholesome image that brought her fame, fortune and worldwide respect as a rare role model for young girls. She has traded in "Pie Jesu" for "Crazy Chick" a lousy pop anthem even Ashlee Simpson wouldn't be caught performing. Charlotte's gone from pure-hearted to pure crap. These days, she drinks, she smokes, she curses, she fights, she parties, and she tries very, very hard to shock and offend like a trashier Lindsay Lohan, only with better pipes.
Charlotte has a new talk show in England, where she plays a profanity-spewing hostess who is part Rosie O'Donnell, part Keith Olbermann (she has bashed President Bush as "clueless" and a "twat") and completely unhinged. The pilot episode featured Charlotte calling Pope Benedict XVI a Nazi, dressing as a nun and pretending to hallucinate while eating communion wafers imprinted with smiley faces (symbolizing the drug Ecstasy). The Catholic News Service reported last month that the pilot also showed Church smashing a statue of the Virgin Mary to reveal a can of fortified wine. To top off her anti-Catholic snit, she stuck chewing gum on a statue of the child Jesus.

It's the show business -- with the emphasis on "business."
She really is self-absorbed filth.
My reaction as well....
God loves the hot and the cold. This chick has totally cratered. The good news is that she's young and stupid. There's still time for her to make amends... I pray that she comes to her senses and receives grace, for the sake of her soul.

Fear not, she will no doubt return to God by age thirty just as the bad girl image plays itself out. You can be the first in line for her CD of religious songs.
Not to mention she's a moonbat leftist.
Hollywood has destroyed free will! These actors, musicians and writers have no choice but to succumb to the evil empire of Southern California!
Rituals are involved as the high priests of studio development dance naked atop the Hollywood sign to the hypnotic beating of drums as they chant ancient verse to control the souls of innocent ingenues!
It is all about "appealing to her audience of fellow skanks." Think Madonna.
What a ho.
I'll never buy her music.
This is terrible. I considered her to be the female equivalent to Josh Groban.
Well how are we supposed to find ya?
Hope this chick enjoys her 15 minutes, because fat and ugly isn't far away for her (and ugly already has a foothold).
That said, if only we could genetically engineer "good girl in public, real bad girl in private," we'd be onto something.
What sweet Charlotte will soon find out is that being a skank doesn't sell. After the shock value of doing what she is doing runs out she will find any legitimate jobs for her singing talent lacking. After a likely show all photo shoot in some skin magazine she will be dropped from the media eye except for the sleaziest tabloids. Too bad for such a vocal talent.
"Problem is that there are so many feminazis now that asking a girl out is to risk being assaulted or attacked legally."
Hey, so you gotta wade through a little MANURE (i.e. feminazis) to get to the roses. Worth the effort. It will make you REALLY appreciate a good one when you find her!
ha
NOT TO DEFEND HER ABHORRENT BEHAVIOR, BUT
who among us did not do STUPID things at that age?!
Hopefully she will live long enough to "grow up."
Don't tell Paris.
