Top 5 Hot Messes of Summer 2008


I'm taking a break from the dating chatter to talk about other things. You've already heard about some of my favorite things, now I'm going to talk about some of my not-so-favorite things. Actually a couple of them left me quite speechless:

5. Hancock: Black people have waited for yeeears to get their own superhero, and when we finally do, who is it? A foul-mouthed alcoholic. Thanks Hollywood! (P.S. I still love Will Smith!)

4. "Busted/Bust It Baby" song by Plies and Ne-Yo: The first line of the song says it all: "If I wasn't married to the streets, girl it'd be you." How romantic. Men take note, THAT'S a real prince who knows how a woman should be treated!

3. Every VH1 show, except Best Week Ever and I Love The 70's/80's/90's. Flava of Love, I Love New York, and their latest gem For The Love of $ is just too much for me to bear. If I had kids, I'd block that channel.

2. Jamie Foxx's new reality show, From G's to Gents. Dude, seriously...WTF are you doing?! You only get one poor career choice post-Oscar win. That fighter jet shit came reeeeeeeeally close to your one. This reality show is like three on it's own! *sigh* How'd you go from Ray to this?

Honorary Mention: Method Man's fake Jamaican accent in The Wackness. Think Taye Diggs' in How Stella Got Her Groove Back...but 10 times worse.

1. Amy Winehouse: you say tortured artist, I say talented crackhead. From spitting on her fans to that racist song she secretly recorded to her unprovoked tirade about Kanye (yes, we know he whines like a little girl sometimes, but still), Amy is well on her way to becoming the Hot Mess of 2008.

And the summer is only halfway done!

What's your "Hot Mess" of the summer?

I second you on Amy, what's with her hair, don't you secretly want to hold her down and give it a wash??

and I am SO tired of fake accents--I wonder if people from Khazakstan cringe every time they hear Borat's accent in English?

Hey Girl,

This is my 1st time coming thru. I have no list of hot messes yet. But I dig yours!

As much as I can't stand reality shows, I found myself watching "I Love Money" on Sunday night. It's ridiculously hilarious!

LOL @ Stephanie's menage a cinq. You're right. That whole situation is a hot mess.

@CP & Janel: If her hair and her makeup are the two worse things yawl can find about her, then I dunno what else to say. LOL.

Owen, surely you jest. Why is it hardcore when she does it, but when Whitney Houston (one of the greatest singers ever) did it, she was a crackhead? These double-standards, I tell ya.

Hey MKIA: Welcome...say it ain't so about I Love $. Oh dear and good grief. LOL.

@Jameil...it annoys me too, but I can't help singing it. And I still love Ne-Yo. Does that make me a bad person? LOL.
