Recap: Teen Mom Season 2 (so far)

Disclaimer: I really shouldn't write posts at 4:30am when I've had too much coffee!

So with nothing to do for the last few hours I caught up on all the TM2 episodes and all I got to say is:

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

These people need reality CHECKS not reality SHOWS .. and by "checks" I don't mean the ones you can cash at the bank.

Let's start with the ultimate spoiled barbie CHELSEA:

We already know that her baby's daddy is a ballon know... calling the baby "a mistake" .. telling her she's fat and has stretch marks .. blah blah blah. We also know that for some still-unexplained reason, her father agreed to pay her rent and costs of living to move into a house with her best friend Megan WITH the stipulation that she stays in school.

Um... yea...

Because EVERY 18 year old with a baby is going to focus on her school work when she's living by herself with her best friend and only has nothing else to worry about but school.

Great parenting decision there, dad!

So you know what happens.. Life-size barbie ISN'T doing her school work AND falls back under the charms of the balloon-know daddy. Oh! But he's changed! Oh! He needs a place to stay wants to be in his baby's life! Oh! He still wants to be on an MTV show LOVES her!

What does she do? Moves him in, of course.. and because, you know, she's mature enough to know that she has daddy wrapped around her little finger that she doesn't want him to know because he may just cut off her funding. Yea.. like that's going to happen.

Because what does daddy say when he DOES find out that the balloon knot moved in? Does he go off the deep end? Does he tell her to pack her shit and get her ass home? Does he tell her that the United Bank of Dad is closing and there will be no stimulus money to bail her out?

Nope.

He tells her that Balloon Knot is going to have to pitch in on the bills. Tough stuff you do there, dad!

We all know how this is going to play out .. but at this point, she's made her own bed. Let's just hope she doesn't get sperminated again when she lays in it.

One other thing:

Did anybody else find it weird when Megan called Aubree ".. our baby?" .. hmmm.

Ok.. so moving on to LEAH,  her cutie-patootie baby daddy COREY and their twins.

You know the story.. Leah busted up with her long term boyfriend.. hooked up with Corey and within a month or so was pregnant with twins. She cheated on Corey.. He wanted her back.. She didn't want him back.. He cheated on her.. She wanted him back.. He didn't want her back.. and so on and so on. But faced with the fact that there may be something seriously wrong, medically, with one of their babies they got back together and fast tracked their relationship by moving in together like.. 10 minutes after they decided to rekindle.

It may not sound like it.. but I really like these two. Or maybe I just really like Corey and the fact that he's not shying away from being a father. Or maybe I just like their accents. Who the hell knows at this point.

Leah had been living in a trailer with the girls before getting back together with Corey. A fairly nice trailer. I've seen some that were WAY nicer then my house. This wasn't one of them but it was more nice then not. But when they decide to move in together, Corey suggests they get a new place closer to his job.. which meant 45 minutes further from Leah's family and friends.

And can I ask exactly where do they live? I've been trying to rent a new place for the last five months with no luck and here they go looking at a place and the landlady shoves a lease at them and says SIGN HERE!! SIGN HERE!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SIGN HERE!! Really, is it that easy where they live?

On second thought, I take all that back. The trailer they moved into was worse then a dump. Calling it "white trash" would be a HUGE compliment. No wonder the landlady was all ready with the paper work and no credit checks or reference calling.

It really is a shame but look, you have to do what you have to do.. I just don't understand why they couldn't move onto Corey's father's phat property?

And you know.. now Leah is starting to feel caged and she wants to go to nursing school but isn't going to be able to and sounds like she's starting to resent Corey because she does nothing but take care of the babies 24/7 and hearing her mom say that that's what she's suppose to do because Corey is the one providing for the family .. blah blah blah.. You're a momma, Leah. You have no life.. and will have no life until the girls get into school full time. Just accept, girlfriend... and continue to keep that flat iron away from your left side bangs! You're doing good!

There's nothing new regarding the baby's medical issues. She's too young for an MRI just yet.

All righty then.. moving right along to season problem child JANELLE

Ooohhh.. where to begin.. where to begin..

So we know that Janelle was Wild Child Extraordinaire.. never met a party.. bottle or bud that she didn't like. Or man, apparently because now questions have surfaced regarding who actually is the father of her baby Jace. We know that the alleged father is completely out of the picture but send child support.. we know that Janelle gave up custody to her fucking lunatic of a mother temporarily.. and we know that she hooked up with a new boyfriend Keiffer that she subsequently got arrested with not too long ago.

After watching four or five episodes in a row, let me tell you something.. Janelle is the way Janelle is because of her mother. I'm sorry.. I know people make their own choices in life but honestly, I think I would have cold cocked that weird talking mofo a long time ago.

This kid just can't do anything right .. and so she does everything wrong. Her mother CONSTANTLY berates her and tries to control her and yells at her and puts her down at every opportunity. It was hard to watch and I really did feel for her when she broke down after her mother's boyfriend started doing the same thing to her. In tears she told him that her mother never told her she loves her.. never hugs her.. and even though Keiffer was absolutely right when he said that sometimes Janelle brings it on herself, this is a lost, broken girl.

I hope she gets her shit together.. and once she does, I hope she gets Jace back and tells her << insert the worst dirogatory word you can think of here >> mother where to stick it.

Last but certainly not least :: I saved my favorite for last :: is KAILYN

This girl is stuck between a rock and hard place. Like Janelle, she's broken and lost. Unlike Janelle, this girl is a survivor. I just don't think she knows it yet.

Kailyn has a mother who's more interested in her man-of-the-moment then her daughter and grandson. There also must be some drug/alcohol/domestic abuse thing going on because she's repeatedly said that her mother's place isn't safe for baby Isaac. Her father lives down south and doesn't want nothing to do with her. I'm sure if pressed, he'd want to do a DNA test because Kailyn's mother seems like the type where there will always be a question of DNA ..

At any rate.. she hooks up with the King of the Douchebags :: I refuse to say his name :: a his apparently semi-affluent parents agree to have Kailyn live with them. Everybody in that house seemed to treat her like the ugly step sister. It seemed like she always had to walk on eggshells because they held the power to make her homeless and take her kid.

When the Douchebag King didn't want to deal with her anymore and broke up with her.. she was moved to the basement. Feeling alone.. she welcomed the attention of a male co-worker. A simple minded boy but none the less, someone who I guess made her feel good about herself and gave her the chance to get out of the basement and away from the cold glares of the Puppet Masters.

But they all found out about it and jumped on the poor girl's shit and basically said without saying the words that if she wanted a boyfriend, she can go live with him.. that under THEIR roof, she was their prisoner. Of course, she told the dude she couldn't see him anymore.

Then the Douchbag King wanted her back.. of course he did. You always want what you didn't want but somebody else does.. but then things started going haywire with the Puppet Masters and the Douchbag King got kicked out.

Which means that Kailyn got kicked out.

He took the baby to another state to stay with an aunt and told Kailyn that they would move there. She doesn't want to.. her job and her school are both local. He starts jumping down her throat about being selfish and only wanting what she wants.

Listen DOUCHEBAG: YOU have a job... SHE has a job.. BOTH jobs are local. You NEED jobs to afford an apartment .. WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU MOVE TO ANOTHER STATE WHERE YOU DIDN'T HAVE A JOB??

After meeting up at a diner to discuss what they needed to do, Kailyn knows that moving in with the King of Douchebags may be a little easier financially.. but isn't going to be good for the baby because of the way they fight.

Like I said.. this girl is a survivor. It's going to be tough on her but she'll end up on her feet.

Review: The Resident

Ok..

I don't think I EVER used the word "creepy" so much in 91 minutes in my life.

I don't think I ever had chills running up my spine so much in 91 minutes.

AND ...

I don't think my chin was on my knees so much in 91 minutes.

How the HELL did I miss this movie??

Hilary Swank plays Juliette, an ER doctor who moves into an apartment building after she finds out the love of her life cheated on her.

Jeffery Dean Morgan :: who's all hot butter-scotchy :: portrays her landlord Max.

So here's Juliette with a job she loves... a too-awesome apartment that's too cheap for NYC.. and a hunky landlord with the weird grandfather.

Oh.. did I mention the weird grandfather?

Anyway.. what more could a girl want, right?

You know that saying about things being too good to be true usually aren't? Well, I'm going to guess that Juliette skipped that message because her Romeo :: come on, you knew that was coming! :: is this creepy guy who does creepy, creepy things.

Sooooo creepy that I told Tim that if I ever had to live in an apartment it would be ONE BIG ROOM with lights on 24/7..

And honestly, it's one of those creepy movies that is on point.. there wasn't one scene where I was like, ".. Oh! Come on! How the hell DIDN'T you notice that???? " It's well written.. well acted... and was exactly what it set out to be.

If you like creepy movies that stick with you.. you'll love this one.

So grab the DVD... pop a bag of microwave popcorn.. and grab a pillow or blanket to grip on to. THEN let me know what you think!

Recap: Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Reunion

Oh man.

Ok.

First off, Part 1 of the reunion was screwed up by my cable provider so I just combined the post after watching Part II.

And just let me state AGAIN that I want to be Lisa Vanderpump when I grow up..

Does she not ooze class? Does she not ooze charm and wit and the right amount of sarcasm?

There were two questions that I hoped the reunion would answer. One was.. One wasn't:

WHAT HAPPENED WITH CEDRIC?


If you watched the show, you already know that Cedric was Lisa and Ken's "permanent" mooch house guest. As the story goes, they opened the door to their fortune lives to him a long time ago but felt that after bringing him to the states.. giving him free room, board and every thing else, it was time for this 30-something year old man to move out.

Cedric didn't necessarily see it that way.. but after the season ended, he packed his bags. Well, he packed Ken's bags with his stuff.. and left. But you know, you can't live that lifestyle, lose it and be a happy camper so Cedric went on a smear campaign even going as far as meeting with Ken and Lisa demanding a pay off or he'll go to the trash rags.

What struck me is that these are decent, genuinely giving people in the truest sense of the word. You could feel their hurt and didn't try to hide the fact that they got hoodwinked by a fuzzy dude who wears a neon green and purple banana hammock.

While I comment Ken for wanting to punch Cedric for the hurtful things he said, I can't imagine him squashing a bug let alone going mano y mano with Cedric. Of course, I think Cedric is too much of a sissy to get into a physical altercation either .. kind of reminds me of the Bridget Jone's Diary scene where Colin Firth and Hugh Grant "try" and fight ..

THE KYLE AND KIM FIGHT

I'm only going to say this...

While I respect that fact that some things are private.. you can't have your life played out on a reality television show and then lock your lips about it. It just isn't fair, dammit!!

So what did we get?

"I love my sister" ... " I wish it never happened " ... " I'm not going to talk about it " ... " I don't have a problem with brushing my teeth with JD alcohol " ...  " I love my sister " ...

BORING!!

I wanted to know just what house did Kyle steal from Kim? Just how did Mauricio support Kim? What happened with the rehab??

The fact that they are sisters and have a long history made this more compelling so keeping mum about it was screwed.

Other then that, the reunion was pretty unspectacular.

Adrienne had very little to contribute other then the fact that she has had fillers, botox and a prenup. Then again, she really wasn't involved in much during the season so other then wearing the same blingy bling shoes that she wore the night of Taylor's infamous party, she was just decoration.

Taylor.. well, really.. who cares? Considering that she's not the brightest crayon in the box, you'd think she would know how to play stupid a lot better then she did when Kim called her out on the whole throwing down some Oklahoma remark. Kudos to Kim though, she backed Taylor up in a corner and hit that hot spot. If her lips weren't plastic, I'm sure we would have seen them quiver!

And then we have Camille. No so much a feeder fish anymore, huh?

I was actually impressed with her .. she didn't play victim quite as much as I thought she would and was kind of impressed that she owned her faux pas' .. I really think her issue is that she can't get what's in her brain out of her mouth and everything gets all twisted .

In other randomness:

  • Loved how Lisa seemed to be crushing on Handsome Nick
  • Andy Cohen putting Adrienne on the spot regarding fixing Kim up with her "available" brothers
  • Could just sit all night and swoon over Mauricio
  • Laughed when Russell said he wouldn't be able to keep up with a 20 year old
  • Really think Dr. Paul needs his own show!


And so I wait for their next season .. I really do think this is the best of the franchise!

P!nk: Fucking Perfect

Make sure that everyone important in your life listens to this song..
