MTV Culture

I just turned on the telly (after a practice session of Blue Rondo, of course *angelic glare*) and caught a glimpse of MTV’s Punked, which essentially is “Celebrity Saboh*”
I caught Salma Hayek with friends (Penelope Cruz?) at a club. They go to the bathroom and see an unimaginably huge turd in the toilet bowl. They giggle and shriek and Salma flushes the toilet, causing it to overflow. The girls run back to their table, still laughing.
Meanwhile, another customer sees them and complains to the management, who then confront Hayek and friends, who are in denial. After a while, Salma is told she’s been Punkd. Penelope and friends were part of the act!
Then a Desperate Housewife got Punkd in a fake police hold-up. And an R&B artiste got falsely accused of sexually harassing an old white lady. He got Punkd.
Now they’re showing a dating game, DisMissed. A hunky guy dates 2 pretty girls who seem overly confident of their chances of being chosen by him. They seem happy slagging each other off, behind each other’s backs. Amusing.
It’s time to get back to practice.
*Saboh = Sabotage, as in, play a trick on someone.

    So, the new Harry Potter book is out. I liked the first book, but haven’t read any subsequent releases.

  • A wedding reunion

    H and A got married yesterday and we Bristolians had a great time at the dinner. I was really happy for the two of them, and H was moved to tears on a few occasions. I wondered if I too would ever experience such overpowering love for someone else. The ballroom was smaller than expected,…

  • The Devil Wears Prada

    We watched The Devil Wears Prada last night. It was as good as I had heard it would be. Anyone who’s ever had a demanding, political job can empathise with Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway), the new assistant to fashion editor Miranda Priestly (well-casted as Meryl Streep), the eponymous anti-heroine of the movie. While generally entertaining,…

    Dijon

    Today I met my family at the Charles de Gaulle airport and drove them to Chablis. There was a big accident on the A6 highway because all cars stopped moving for 30 minutes, and people got out of the cars to see what was happening down the road. Soon, a few ambulances and rescue vehicles…
