EVENING NIGHTCAP: Meghan Trainor...'enuff said. Donald Fagen's 3-Word Answer. Temu Edward & Walmart Wallis Holiday Card.

 

 

 ► The answer to what happens when a loaf of bread is given a microphone is Meghan Trainor (30) whining that nobody warned her before she "went too far" with Botox or its side effects. She's on a "woe is me" media tour complaining Botox has resulted in her inability to move her cakehole to make facial expressions. Um, who wants to see that? Maybe her husband when he looks directly at her while taking a shit across from their his & her toilets at their home. Yes, they have bragged about having toilets across from each other so they can lovingly gaze at each other. Anyway, Meghan said she's had injections on her forehead in the past and recently underwent a "lip flip" and other stuff. Lip flip sounds like an obscene Italian gesture. She said: Read More

"Someone convinced me with my little lips that if you did a lip flip, you put filler right above your upper lip, that you could have a beautiful flip on your upper lip. It was not true," she said, explaining she had Botox before "a handful of times" on her forehead. I also got some [Botox] in my jaw because they say it can help you with clenching. I think the mixture of the two [caused] me not to smile. Nobody warned me." "I cannot smile anymore", she complained. "Everywhere I go, I cannot smile. My face hurts to smile, to even try."

BTW, despite the second rate results, side effects, and pain she's planning to keep riding the plastic gurney and is looking forward to getting her boobs done very soon.

Comment:  Lemme get this straight: she's unhappy with the results of Botox but keeps doing it.  Plus, to add to her train of stupidity, she's planning on getting a boob job. Does she really think it's going to make her more likeable or bankable as a singer/celeb? NOPE.  She will always be an annoying square of toilet paper stuck on the shoe of pop culture. She's on the express lane to earn  Karen status.

► Yacht rock has become an insulting term to describe a genre of 1970's rock music that includes musicians such as Doobie Brothers, Simon & Garfunkel, Hall & Oates, Loggins & Messina, and Steely Dan. The music tends to be a fusion of rock and jazz with sometimes complex instrumental arrangements (as in the case of Steely Dan's music).  In the old days, it was referred to as soft rock.  The term "yacht rock" was coined by Gen Z & Millennials because they like ruin everything by thinking they're being clever. Case in point: the trend of taking a perfectly good name like Mary and re-spelling it as Mayree. Or calling a slice of bread  "raw toast". Well, Donald Fagen, the co-founder of Steely Dan isn't having any of it. He's not a fan of term. For the Netflix documentary, "Yacht Rock", the director called him. When asked if he was willing to talk about Steely Dan's yacht rock music, Donald's three word response was: Go Fuck Yourself, and then hung up the phone. IMO, the perfect answer.  Read More

Comment:  Steely Dan has always been one of my favorite bands. If you're not familiar with them,  listen to their album, Aja.  It's a masterpiece, especially from an engineering standpoint. He and co-founder Walter Becker (RIP) created a unique sound and style of music. Or, if you want to listen to Donald's solo work, I recommend, The Nightfly. Had the director of the Netflix documentary spent 5 minutes Googling Donald Fagen, he would have discovered that he is a very private person who seldom grants interviews and detests bullshit. The director got what he deserved.

 

► Temu Edward and Walmart Wallis released their holiday card to a big yawn "meh" from the public. Based on the design, they must have used a 75% off coupon from Shutterfly for this level of blandness. The card features the duke and duchess of victimhood in photos showing off their faux royal charitable personas doing what they do best: nothing. There is so much wrong with the design of card: from the teeny-tiny font, slapping Archewell as a cheap attention grab for their failing venture, to the ridiculous photos from their fake royal trips abroad. Read More

Comment: The card reeks of a bad Hallmark Channel holiday movie. Maybe that's what they're were going for.  Since Netflix is about to kick them to the curb, I would not be shocked if they're sniffing around the Hallmark office for their next scheme.
