But the horror of racism, I figure, is only trite if it doesn't happen to you or Hollywood doesn't want to really alienate the audience by showing more than a hint of it. All in all, her life was very complicated...and a good written biography gives a better feel for the possible "whys." The movie was prettied up and scrubbed of nuance, pretty much.<BR/>As to possible explanations for copping a feel in front of the cameras? I'd like to read that book that explains that one because... oh hell. Really, you're completely right. She didn't get fat - so the rest is all entertainment.<BR/>Great entry, as usual.LJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03238060965921536507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-1147879217281938862006-05-17T10:20:00.000-05:002006-05-17T10:20:00.000-05:00o.g.

It was like she was weighing it or something.<BR/><BR/>Didn't Michael Jackson then do that "Dirty Diana" song? Was that about her??????

So great to see you in here - I was just thinking of you this morning, and looking forward to more reviews from you. <BR/>Yes, she's still bonkers, apparently, bless her heart. Yeah, she DID go nuts in England last time she was there, didn't she? Maybe English society doesn't play the Emperor's New Clothes as well as we do over here...<BR/><BR/>nongirlfriend - teeheehee -yup, she's always seemed a picture of manic desperation, yah?<BR/><BR/>barbara - you said it - in the currency of Hollywood, she will continue to captivate so long as she maintains a cadaverously stylish figure i.e., like a bin-liner full of plastic hangers.<BR/><BR/>nugget - I never saw Mahogany - sounds scary if it's a tossup with LSTB. *L* @ Whitney's fake chompers. Bitch ain't got perfect pitch, neither!<BR/><BR/>turboslut - well, at 8 tender years of age, you are to be expected to be captivated by some uber-weirdness, darling.

I was mesmerized. Well, at 8, it really doesn't take much. I can't say I am a big fan now though. I think she is a bit insane.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12116836434516282217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-1147806219474888832006-05-16T14:03:00.000-05:002006-05-16T14:03:00.000-05:00I am not sure which I liked better: Lady Sings the...I am not sure which I liked better: Lady Sings the Blues or Mohogany. <BR/><BR/>Public meltdowns go with the territory though, and are great for publicity! Any publicity is better than none. But it's all tripe, yanno. None of it is actual NEWS. Its sole purpose is to deflect our attention from other, more pressing issues. <BR/><BR/>For instance... who really gives a rat's ass if Whitney Houston's teeth are fake?Mavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06159539883712835177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-1147803701056546192006-05-16T13:21:00.000-05:002006-05-16T13:21:00.000-05:00"Born Bonkers: the Diane Ross" story.
