Gary has a new nightly ritual.
He watches the “Victoria Beckham: Coming to America” special every night. We have it on the TiVo.
I think he wants to convince himself it really is a series.
I was influenced by a snarky review in the New York Times, summarized here:
It tests the American market’s seemingly insatiable demand for rich, idiotic It girls, from Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan to Britney Spears and Nicole Richie. Mrs. Beckham comes to the genre armed with an entourage of stylists, huge sunglasses and her own version of Ms. Hilton’s trademark expression, “That’s hot.” Posh deems posh things “major.” But she totters, in the requisite leopard-print high heels — through well-trod territory.
If she can retain viewers past the first commercial break, then the results will be conclusive: Either there is a vast, media-controlling conspiracy afoot, or there is no such thing as celebrity ditz-fatigue.
Yet, Gary loves it. “She’s so cute!” He gushes. “Come on Ellen, you’d love her!” Why yes, if I were to give up my lesbian virginity, I am sure Posh Spice would be my pick to do the deflowering.
“Lookit! All she does is pout! It’s hysterical!”
Right. Major.
At least he’s having crushes on women now.

I’m sorry, but you need to parental-lock that channel out or hide the remote control. NOW. I know Tweety can be annoying, not another rich, empty-headed skank. Come back to Hardball, Gary. At least amongst the stupid stuff, there is an occasional gem over which to triumphantly pump your fist in the air.
Tell him what you want, what you really really want, is for him to stop watching that crap.
“At least he’s having crushes on women now.”I am not convinced this is an improvement.
Be grateful for small favors.
You mean he’s watching Posh again and again instead of squee-ing over the YouTube video of Beyonce tumbling down the stairs? What a guy.
Friend #3 – She is a little like a skinny Chris Matthew with huge breasts. Think about it. Accent, check. Blond pin styraight hair, check. Caroline – Shhhh. It’s 9:21 and he hasn’t watched it yet today.Sherri – True! He had a crush on Gloria Borger for a little while.Sue – You it’s like those questions they put to women such as “would you rather your husband be physically unfaithful or emotionally unfaithful?” He’s being emotionally unfaithful with Chris, but I think Posh has cast her physical spell on him.KC – Beyonce literally wiped out down the stairs? I’ll bet you there’s a song in there.
Ironically, when Beyonce collected herself, she asked the audience not to put her little tumble on YouTube.I saw the tumble from at least two different angles. On YouTube. Her fans sure luuuuuurrve her.
Friend #3- I just saw it on Best Week Ever. Did the lip-synch track really keep going on?
