Where have all the good girls gone?

[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.

Disgusting, hideous tramp.

Where have all the good girls gone?

I don't know, but be sure to let me know if you find where they went.

[StarCMC]

Disgusting.

[Arm_Bears]

Well, I married one of them.

[E Rocc]

She's probably just overcompensating for her previous image, and suffering a very early outbreak of "Pat Boone Syndrome".

[Old Student]

To quote my wife about old friends who aren't friends anymore, "Remember them as they were, and let them go."

[MaryFromMichigan]

Sad to read that.

[sunvalley]

Hey! The good girls are still out here. We're just harder to find. We tend to be quieter, show less skin, and you typically can't find us at bars. We get overlooked because the skanks get all the attention.

[zendari]

Truth is sex sells.

[NYer]

Catholic Ping - Please freepmail me if you want on/off this list

[petro45acp]

Sad, maybe, but good-bad-or-indifferent, just another human doing human things.

[freedumb2003]

This is so sad.

Church was so anglic in voice and comportment.

Well, you never know.

[Mike Bates]

We're just harder to find.

But worth the effort.

[ichabod1]

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

[Fury]

Mrs. Fury and I just celebrated our two-year anniversery. I thank God every day for her.

[Chewie84]

That is revolting, that she could have made such a horrible turn from God.

Indeed, good role models for girls are becoming harder and harder to find nowadays.

[xzins]

She has an agent and a media adviser.

The intent is to get attention, stay on top, and get the money to flow in.

[tkathy]

The good girls all went the same place all the good boys went.

[JamesP81]

Hey! The good girls are still out here. We're just harder to find.

Problem is that there are so many feminazis now that asking a girl out is to risk being assaulted or attacked legally.

BTW, in your profile I see that you're from Northern KY. I'm from the Western end of the state, but I have some friends from the Cincinatti, Louisville, and E-Town areas.

[durasell]

It's the show business -- with the emphasis on "business."

[wideawake]

Besides the disgusting anti-Catholic bigotry, I'm glad the article also mentions her repulsive comments mocking New Yorkers about 9/11 and tearing down the heroic FDNY responders from 9/11.

She really is self-absorbed filth.

[Joe 6-pack]

"Sad to read that."

My reaction as well....

[Rutles4Ever]

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.

[durasell]

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.

[TonyRo76]

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

Not true! My lovely lady and I found e/o at a holiday party, quite by accident Divine intervention, actually ;)

Neither one of us goes to bars. I've hated those places ever since I was old enough to get in legally.

[RockinRight]

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.

Not to mention she's a moonbat leftist.

[DaveLoneRanger]

Just dang. I remember the commercials for her album, and thinking she looked rather wholesome. But Hollywood/culture quickly perverts these innocent stars into contorted hoodlums.

Hollywood took the cute little Princess Diaries girl, the one who had considered becoming a nun, and in a few years, she was going nude for Brokeback Mountain. (WHICH I ONLY KNOW THROUGH READING REVIEWS, I SHOULD STRESS.)

Just disgusting. *Shakes head sadly*

[DaveLoneRanger]

Rub it in, you lucky dog.

[durasell]

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!

[Dominick]

Yep, gone trampy!

[Muzzle_em]

It is all about "appealing to her audience of fellow skanks." Think Madonna.
What a ho.
I'll never buy her music.

[mom4kittys]

This is terrible. I considered her to be the female equivalent to Josh Groban.

[Antoninus]

Well, I married one of them.

Me too. They don't tend to stay on the market long...

[Toby06]

Well how are we supposed to find ya?

[Larry Lucido]

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.

[The Great RJ]

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.

[Muzzle_em]

"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

[Muzzle_em]

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."

[Mike Bates]

What sweet Charlotte will soon find out is that being a skank doesn't sell.

Don't tell Paris.

[Larry Lucido]

Hey, and she's a Kentucky woman, Toby. You know what Neil Diamond said about them. :-)

[Antoninus]

That is revolting, that she could have made such a horrible turn from God.

She was a target of the Enemy the second she released that CD of religious songs. Given her youth, she was apparently an easy target. Pray for her.

[ichabod1]

Divine intervention

That's it. If the Divine Intervention is there it will happen. If it isn't, well the relationship probably won't work out anyway.

[sunvalley]

All men say that want a nice girl, one who hasn't slept around, has great values, etc. but I don't believe it. Most men will gravitate directly to the loud, half-dressed gals because they are more "fun". I don't think men (in general) want a nice girl; they want to have a good time.

[Antoninus]

Hollywood has destroyed free will!

No, Hollyweird simply uses the age-old trap which has ensnared countless adolescents. Get them addicted to physical pleasure at a young age.

[texaslil]

"...good girl in public, real bad girl in private,..."

FYI that's what most of us girls were taught long ago by our wise mothers: "Be a lady in the parlor, Betty Crocker in the kitchen, and a 'very, very bad girl' in the bedroom." Works for most of us.

[sunvalley]

I'm not sure how or where to meet someone! Any suggestions? If you don't hang out at bars, and you don't have mutual friends, it just might be impossible!

[TonyRo76]

Wise words, my FRiend!

The difficult thing is having the patience to wait for God to act.

That wasn't fun...but now I see it was so well worth it  :)

[wallcrawlr]

the once-charming Charlotte is the new face of skankdom

am I the only one thats happy about this...

[Larry Lucido]

Yep.

Julia Child reportedly referred to the 3 F's that make a good marriage. Two were food and flattery.
