Open Post: Hosted By The Spice Girls (Minus Posh)
Musicals on the West End in London are usually better than musicals on Broadway. First case in point: I paid 25 pounds to see Desperately Seeking the Musical, which used the songs of Blondie. It was a disaster. It was like watching shit dry on a strobe light and I'd pay 250 pounds to watch it again. Second case in point: Tonight on the West End, the Spice Girls musical Viva Forever! opened. Edina Monsoon wrote the book for Viva Forever! and it uses a bunch of Spice Girls songs to tell the story of a girl named Viva (HAHAHA) and her best friends "who get swept up in the obsession of today's TV celebrity culture." This needs to come to America now! But since I live in L.A. now, I'll be lucky if Viva Forever! comes to a community theater in Thousand Oaks in 2026.
Anyway, Viva Forever! opened tonight and Scary, Ginger, Baby and Sporty all posed on the red carpet together. Posh let the lessers of the group have their cute moment in front of the cameras before she showed up late and posed with her family and her fan instead.
I love how Posh looks like she just came from her office job and the other Spice Girls look like they've been waiting for this forever. Posh being underdressed is her way of letting you know that she doesn't give a shit shit (not that she does shit) and she's just there because the contract she signed told her she had to be.

Mel B looks great!
Jersey Strong
Poor old untalented Geri spice. Desperate for attention, she deliberately wears a huge fuck-off dress that drowns out the others and demands we all look at her.
------------------------------------------
"We must not look at Goblin men,
We must not buy their fruits,
Who knows upon what soil they fed,
Their hungry, thirsty roots"
Posh doesn't just look disinterested, she looks quite depressed.
Of course Posh is over that shit. She has four kids at home, a real business, and a hot ass man to tend to.
Ain't nobody got time for that!

Hoarders (the A&E version) is heavily edited, yes, but apparently they really try to help the subjects. I've read a few articles and forum entries that say this. The TLC version is just about having a friend or family member come to the house and judge the hoarder. A&E's version actually tries. And it has a worse success rate than Intervention.
I also really like Intervention. Monday nights are depressing tv nights.
Exploitation of mentally ill people for the sole purpose of entertainment is awful. Really the only benefit that I can see is getting the feeling that thank GD I'm not as fucked up as these people!

in regards to the tablets for a 2 year old. WTF. I bought my 2 year old a leapster and I thought he might be too rough with it. Wouldn't waste my money buying him a tablet. Might as well give him five $100 dollar bills and a pair of blunt scissors.
RIP Ravi Shankar
I am a HUGE Spice Girls fan (Spiceworld the movie is sooo ridiculously good!), but for some reason I love the fact that Posh is so mortified and over it. Cunt.
The Olsens being over Full House and all embarrassed though...fuck them trolls.

Apparently the nurse that killed herself left a suicide note. She must have been on the edge for a long time to decide to kill herself and write out a note to her family in less than 24 hours since that stupid prank.

Duh. They take days and days worth of footage. How else are they supposed to get it down to a half-hour show unless they strategically edit it? And the people in these situations are already extremely vulnerable: they don't have to be forced to appear dramatic about their lives.
- but no one is doubting that Kardasshole shit and real housewives from hell are all fake and scripted.
No goodnight for me, Dog? That's it. We're fighting.

Sans, your ex should probably read this.
"...Compulsive hoarding is likely to be included as a new mental disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders or DSM-5. DSM-5 is due to be published in 2013. I’m hoping this means more research and attention being devoted to treating compulsive hoarding. I also hope it means less people thinking hoarders are just lazy deadbeats who just need to throw a garage sale. There’s something about this being made “official” that gives me some hope.
Below are the proposed diagnostic criteria for Hoarding Disorder. All criteria A-F must be met to qualify for the diagnosis.
A. Persistent difficulty discarding or parting with possessions, regardless of their actual value.
B. This difficulty is due to a perceived need to save the items and distress associated with discarding them.
C. The symptoms result in the accumulation of possessions that congest and clutter active living areas and substantially compromise their intended use. If living areas are uncluttered, it is only because of the interventions of third parties (e.g., family members, cleaners, authorities).
D. The hoarding causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning (including maintaining a safe environment for self and others).
E. The hoarding is not attributable to another medical condition (e.g., brain injury, cerebrovascular disease, Prader-Willi Syndrome).
F. The hoarding is not better accounted for by the symptoms of another DSM-5 disorder (e.g., hoarding due to obsessions in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, decreased energy in Major Depressive Disorder, delusions in Schizophrenia or another Psychotic Disorder, cognitive deficits in Dementia, restricted interests in Autism Spectrum Disorder).

Oh for sure some of these are real but as you say often these "breakdowns and breakthrough" are edited by the produces. I mean they can edit and work with what they have to make it more dramatic, or perhaps make someone seem nicer or meaner than they really are if needed be. All these shows are about entertainment and really that's the bottom line. They don't think they actually care about these people, they want the best bang they can throw at you by working around with what they have.
------------------
I agree with you Wham. And I've also read how all of these shows are scripted to a degree, for instance, on The Hills, when one of those hos would go to "work", they'd record a sequence of walking in and out the building on the same day, and they simply change out of clothes on each take. There's a lot of editing too, to create story arcs, portray someone as the bad guy, and whatnot.
Does anyone remember when Wonky and Nicole got "reunited" on their show after they had a "fallout"? LOL.

Hoarders is real. Hundreds of thousands live like this in America but I don't know if it's the 3 million they say. Maybe at least a million. It's such a hidden issue that it's impossible to know.
What doesn't seem real to me in that show is that they always have the huge breakdown "5 hours" before all the people there have to go and then they all seem to have a breakthrough and the places looks ok (mostly) at the end of the 5 hours.
Also, none of these homes can be done in 48 hours. Why the timeline like that? Why not 5-7 days? It's for the urgency factor that viewers like.
They have gone back for "where are they now?" shows and true to form, most are still hoarding or showing signs of going back to it. The recidivism rate is 100% without therapy and those who didn't show up for it were back to filthy again so a lot of it rings true. They also have had some episodes where they ended up simply having to leave the person in the filth, very depressing.
So this is one of the shows that I know to be true, minus the timelines of getting things done - no way can all this happen in 48 hours. Hoarding and home inspections just don't work like that.
_______________________________________________
Sad but true. My ex-bf's parents were hoarders. Compared to the people on the show, they had a mild case of it....they didn't have vermin crawling around and mold accumulating on month-old dirty dishes in the sink, but they did save everything and everything. There were piles of stuff everywhere and their garage was literally crammed so full of junk you couldn't shut the door. Ex-BF was actually a hyper neat freak....he leaned obsessively in the other direction, probably from growing up in squalor.
Thing is they were nice people who didn't show any outward signs of mental illness, and they were also affluent...both had high paying stable jobs. So you just never know, I guess.
