Who Will Show Their Ass ...

And Who Will Make An Ass Out Of Themselves?

[silent_jonny]

Yes, you said the same thing last week on the CMA Awards thread.

[Wolfstar]

OK, so who's the dippy broad with the message T-shirt? Jessica Simpson doesn't look to bad. The low-cut backs are the fashion these days. Better than fronts cut that low, in my opinion.

[Wolfstar]

What/who is that creature you posted at the top of the thread?

[silent_jonny]

That would be foreign policy expert Sheryl Crow :)

[silent_jonny]

LOL--that's burnt-out rocker Billy Idol :)

[Wolfstar]

Yes, you said the same thing last week on the CMA Awards thread.

I guess saganite likes to come on these threads for a nap, LOL!

[Wolfstar]

That would be foreign policy expert Sheryl Crow.

Ah. So that's what Sheryl Crow looks like. Shows you how much I pay attention to most of these people.

[silent_jonny]

And he or she is always one of the first to post, too :)

[saganite]

Whoa! You've got a good memory! But I meant it then and I mean it now.

I'm just not interested in what Nashville is putting out these days and I'm even less interested in pop music.

[Wolfstar]

LOL--that's burnt-out rocker Billy Idol

Well, speaking as a woman, Billy isn't much to look at. He should button up his shirt.

[silent_jonny]

And there's Crow in the audience :)

[WestCoastGal]

The one in the orange outfit should think about wearing a bra next time.

[silent_jonny]

You remember what we were taught as kids: Don't make that face--it might freeze like that.

Looks like Billy's did :)

[Wolfstar]

I'm just not interested in what Nashville is putting out these days and I'm even less interested in pop music.

That's OK. Whatever floats your boat. But why bother coming on the thread at all, then?

[silent_jonny]

wearing a bra next time.

Oh well let's not go crazy :)

[Wolfstar]

The one in the orange outfit should think about wearing a bra next time.

I guess we should be grateful she's got her back turned to us instead of her front.

[Wolfstar]

Looks like Billy's did

LOL!

[silent_jonny]

instead of her front.

Google has plenty more pics of her :)

[WestCoastGal]

LOL

I can only imagine what the rest of the front looks like.

:::Ewwwww:::

[Wolfstar]

Since saganite brought up Nashville, Carrie's CD did really good her first week. Too bad she couldn't beat out that skank Madonna.

[saganite]

Why, to express my first amendment rights. Why do you resent my presence on this thread?

[silent_jonny]

What country is Shakira from? She sounds like she has three different accents.

[silent_jonny]

Speaking of fronts: Mariah Carey :)

[silent_jonny]

Madonna ain't what she was in the 80s and early 90s. I think she'll start to drop pretty soon.

[Wolfstar]

I can only imagine what the rest of the front looks like.

I want to see some hunky (hetero) guys. If Tim McGraw shows up, he'll do fine.

This being a holiday week, I'm able to post online at the office for a short while today. I'll be leaving soon (it's 5:15pm here) and will get back on the thread when I get home.

The AMA show doesn't start until 8:00pm so I can find out the results here long before the show is on here.

[Wolfstar]

Why, to express my first amendment rights. Why do you resent my presence on this thread?

Heck no. It was just a friendly question. As long as Jonny doesn't mind, You're perfectly welcome to come here, camp out awhile and take a nap. ;-)

Truth be told, I can't stand many of today's musical artists myself, although there are some I do like.

[Palladin]

...and who will be the Best Undressed nominee?

[Wolfstar]

What country is Shakira from? She sounds like she has three different accents.

I think the proper question in today's music world is, "What 'hood is she from."

Actually, I think she's Latino, but I don't know her country of origin.

[Wolfstar]

Speaking of fronts: Mariah Carey

Has she shown up on the red carpet? (Or whatever color it is for the AMA's.)

[saganite]

OK. That's fine.

I like threads like this because it gives me an opportunity to express my contempt for pop culture. I really can't find any redeeming qualities in modern music.

[Wolfstar]

Madonna ain't what she was in the 80s and early 90s. I think she'll start to drop pretty soon.

I think so too, but Reba McIntire just released a new compilation of her #1 hits today. So it will be interesting to see next week's charts. Actually, I've sort of gotten into this thing of watching the charts more than I have of most of the music these people sing. I think it's because I've always been a sports fan. [snicker]

[rintense]

Oh look! It's Tom Cruise's secret lover! Rob Thomas!

[Wolfstar]

I like threads like this because it gives me an opportunity to express my contempt for pop culture. I really can't find any redeeming qualities in modern music.

I'll bet you and I largely agree about pop culture these days, although I find there are some songs and singers I enjoy quite a bit. Got to pick and choose carefully, though.

[Wolfstar]

Oh look! It's Tom Cruise's secret lover! Rob Thomas!

Hi rintense. Good to "see" you.

Re Cruise and Thomas, LOL! Cruise does seem to work very hard at convincing the world he's straight.

[Hildy]

That's a crappy outfit Jessicas wearing...Just horrible...but I think she's a horrible performer and model for young girls.

[saganite]

Yeah, I pick and choose carefully but I find the singers I like aren't normally in the front rank of pop culture. Guess I'm just not hip!

[silent_jonny]

Is FR slow for anyone else? I couldn't refresh the page for several minutes.

Has she shown up on the red carpet?

Mariah won the first award--and what a dress she wore! She said she had to be sewn into it :)

[Wolfstar]

Well, Jonny. Thanks for the thread. I'll catch up in about an hour and a half, shortly after I get home from the office.

BTW, I signed up for DSL service today. So as soon as the new PC is set up and the DSL service is installed, I'll be good to go again. The old beast can then retire to a well-deserved rest.

[Hildy]

I was just at a dentist office and read an interview with Madonna in Ladies Home Journal. It was about marriage and I've got to tell you, the things she said were, (Oh God, I hate to say this,) beautiful. About what marriage is really about and the meaning of it all. She admitted her marriage to Penn was not about any of the important things and that she was selfish and would have no compromise. It was surprising. I still hate her though.

[silent_jonny]

Well, if Madonna's last album is any example ... She struck a Che Guevera pose on the cover. It quickly tanked.

[silent_jonny]

Is Rob a poofter?

[silent_jonny]

I just Googled for more Jessica Simpson pics--apprantly she has trouble staying in her dress :)
Google

[silent_jonny]

Madonna was on Letterman a few weeks ago and she said some surprisingly conservative things about raising children--but she's still an egomaniac.

[rintense]

The rumor has been around for the past year, but...

It seems Mrs. Rob Thomas stumbled on her hubby and Tom Cruise having 'relations'. She threatened to go to the press, but Cruise's people paid her a hefty sum to keep quiet. In the meantime, to quell any rumors that may leak, Cruise's people needed another woman to make Tom look straight. Flavor of the month: Katie Holmes.

[silent_jonny]

Jeremy Piven: "I feel about as musical as George Bush in a Gospel tent." Crickets. He taps the mic. "Is this thing on."

Yes, you're just not funny.

[silent_jonny]

Whoa--I hadn't heard that. I'm not surprised though (yuck)

In related news, I think Cruise is losing his mind.

[silent_jonny]

This Gwen Stefani rap is giving me a headache ...
