EVENING NIGHTCAP: JoJo Replaces Nigel. Lana Fails At Sexy (but nails it for tacky). Richard Marx Humiliates A Jerk.

 

 

 

► Jo Jo Siwa, America's favorite pony tail aficionado and nemesis of Cameron Bure, is replacing Nigel Lythgoe as  judge on "So You Think You Can Dance".  Nigel has been accused of being a shitbag and is facing allegations of sexual assault and using his position as producer to behave like a wanker.  Paula Abdul is one of the accusers.  Anyway, JoJo has previously appeared as a judge with mixed results. Fans of the show are divided about having her. The naysers are calling her "loud and annoying", and others saying, "yea, she's loud but she knows her stuff".  Read More

Comment:  The only reason I'm familiar with this show is because I occasionally see clips while surfing the internet. JoJo doesn't bother me. Having her as a judge on a dance competition makes sense, I guess. She's been dancing since he was a kid. I do her like for calling out Cameron Bure for being "the rudest person she's ever met" since Cameron thinks her farts don't stink. 

► Lana Del Yawn Rey's recent Valentine's Day campaign for the K-Trash SKIMS brand racked up $13.7 million in media value exposure for brand. Lana's IG post alone earned $4 million in value for SKANKS SKIMS. The V-D campaign featured Lana is various poses including one where she's looking like trampy flamenco dancer who got shanked by Cupid's arrow on her way to a Catholic evening mass. Read More

Comment: What perfect timing for Lana to be a huckstering this trash.  Just in time for her appearance at Coochella Coachella in April since she's one of the headline acts. Lana is a total dud when it comes to pulling off sexy. She has the appeal of an acne patch. BTW, what's with the  "underage /young Lolita seductress" imagery in the 2nd photo with the cats? Didn't the photographer get the memo that this outdated crap is tacky AF? The photographer was a woman and you'd think she would know better. Anyway, the expressions of the cats says it all.

►Richard Marx, the 1980's crooner who had one of the best mullets of the era, gave a rude audience member a lesson in manners. At a recent concert in Port Chester, NY, Richard started singing an acoustic version of "Angela". A woman in the audience interrupted his performance by talking loudly and misbehaving. Richard kept his cool and continued the performance. When he was done singing, he didn't hold back his feelings about the woman acting like a jackass by saying this to her: Read More

"I’m genuinely curious who raised you to think that anything you could yell out was more important than what we were doing," the rocker said slowly, to rapturous applause from the audience. "Learn some f***ing manners, lady," he said.

Comment: I applaud Richard for doing this. The decline of manners and common courteous has resulted in people acting like entitled jerks in public. Behaving badly has become rampant. It's time for aholes who behave in a disrespectful, assholey manner to be called-out, publicly shamed, and put in their place. Well done Richard, well done.
