Where have all the good girls gone?
Jewish World Review ^ | 9/27/2006 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 09/27/2006 5:54:26 AM PDT by Mike Bates

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.

Durasell's Rules to Live By #84: Never trust a guy who hasn't proved himself to himself, whether by growing up in a tough neighborhood, military service, or physically demanding/dangerous job. Beware the man who has gone from college to three-bedroom, three-bath colonial.

I'd add growing up in a rough home to this list too.

Okay.

I don't know what it is -- but there's something (politically incorrect word ahead) inferior about guys who have never tested themselves or been tested.

Okay, let the flaming begin. I can take it...

Nope, no flaming today. I happen to agree with your assessment.

I'll wait for the others to chime in. The responses will inevitably start with "Just because..."

Anyway, I'm off to work. Take care!

No flames ... I think your list of ways to "prove yourself to yourself" might be a bit incomplete, but the basic concept is sound. I know a few folks with XY chromosomes who've basically had everything handed to them since Day One ... they have no accomplishments for which they had to struggle, no "I made that" or "Been there, done that" experience. I just can't relate to them ... they're like some sort of alien species.

"Overstatement and uncalled for. She's 20. What were you doing when you were 20."

No, your comment is uncalled for. I was having fun when I was 20 but I wasn't doing the equivalent of pissing on religion. Charlotte Church is a tramp because she is acting out frustration on the girl she once was -- a sweet faithful girl who was an inspiration to traditionally-minded people.

You sound like one of the d-ckheads who thinks that an adult who steals beer is only "guilty of being 18." Bravo Sierra. That's only pop pyschobabble. Theft is theft. And boorish, trampy behavior is boorish, trampy behavior.

If I was Charlotte Church's father I would slap her and tell her to get her butt out of town until she begged forgiveness from the people she offended.

Those of us who don't go to bars just can't find each other.

So the ALGERIAN said,"bed girls,not marriage girls"?
You can bet when this Algerian Islamist gets married,his property-oops,I mean wife-will be treated marvelously and he will be faithful to her forevermore.
Sarcasm/obviously.

Charlotte Church is a traitor to true art. The fact that she's turned into an unpopular skank is just desserts.

A truly"alternative"band in the Eighties would have played covers of old Lettermen,Carpenters and Castells songs!
That would have pissed the punks,headbangers AND hip hop heads off!

Odd thing is she always struck me as a spoiled brat. Too synthetic.

A kid at a really notorious ghetto high school said something to me several years ago about meeting women that I wish I had known about thirty years ago-
"Just go talk to those females LIKE YOU ALREADY KNOW THEM"
I do that now.It usually gets a positive response.

Sounds like her hormones kicked in. Soon as Miss Sweet and Innocent discovered boys, The Skank was soon to follow.

"I think creepy stalker vibes might be in the eye of the beholder. Besides, girls might appreciate someone a little more...aesthetic in appearance to ask them out. As I'm ordinary looking, I'm not sure if it would be taken as a compliment."

What used to work for me is drooling, with my hair dishevelled, driving a beat up Chevy, slowing down as they walk down the sidewalk and saying in a Peter Lorre like voice, " Ride? Ride? You want ride with me?". Worked like a charm.
