EVENING NIGHTCAP: Lori Loughlin & Larry David Are Clueless. Napkincore Fashion Trend. JLo Flops.

 

 

► Jennifer Lopez Noa-Judd-Anthony-Almost Rodriguez-Affeck is not having a good start to 2024. Her new album, "This Is Me...Now" is a flop critically and commercially (it debuted #38 on Billboard last month and sales are circling the drain). BTW I heard a sample. It sounds like a  novella about her relationship with Affleck. To promote and support it, she also self-funded 2 films: This Is Me...A Love Story and The Greatest Love Story Never Told. Both were panned by critics; and the public was left rolling their eyeballs and yawning. Add to all this: it was announced yesterday that 7 dates on her tour have been cancelled without an explanation, in addition to 2 other dates mysteriously disappearing from the calendar. Concert promoters are citing "logistical issues" as the reason. Ticketmaster is blaming the event organizer. Others suspect the public is tired and bored with her. Who knows. Read More

Comment:  Her new album consists of 13 songs about her relationship with Affleck from 20 years ago that was rekindled into a marriage 2 years ago. Who wants to listen to that crap. Add to that the fact that JLo is not a good singer and has no musical talent (i.e. playing an instrument). That leaves little to offer to an audience. She is the perfect example of how the right packaging and marketing can sell just about anything including mediocre talent.

► On the 5th anniversary of the college admission scandal, Lori Loughlin (who was one of the celebs involved), made an appearance on the series finale of Curb Your Enthusiasm. In the episode, Lori parodies herself and the scandal that resulted in her and husband Mossimo Giannauli serving prison time at Club Fed (aka federal prison for rich people). Producers had this to say about the episode: Read More

"The setup was that Loughlin, who loves to play golf, was being black-balled from L.A. country clubs due to her role in the 2019 scandal. So Loughlin needs a sponsor, and who better than Larry — someone who has gotten so many second chances himself? “You know I’m a champion of the underdog,” he says."

Comment: Lori will always be a smug, entitled cockroach who hasn't shown remorse for her actions. While I'm at it, neither has her beef jerky looking husband or their 2 moon face daughters who were willing accomplices in cheating their way into college. It infuriates me when I hear about this scandal. My parents didn't have a lot of money. I worked my ass off to get good grades. Plus I started working when I was 12 to save money to attend college. I think its tacky AF that she and Larry David are making light of it. Shows how clueless they are. They can piss off. 

 

► During this year's award season, fashionistas noticed celebs dressing like a dining room table at a Howard Johnson. The trend is being called "Napkincore". It's defined as attire that takes cues from table linens and folded napkins. I know...it's stupid. Celebs including Emma Stone, Greta Lee, and Kat Graham are some of the many who are embracing nana's table linen attire. Some are saying the Napkincore trend is resurrecting the scarf-top trend of the 1990s. Read More

Comment: What a stupid trend. Let's hope it disappears faster than Kim Zolciak with a $20 bill at a casino.
