Questions for the Zeitgeist- April 29, 2006

1- With the "childbirth trifecta" of Gwyneth, TomKat and Brangelina, does anyone care that Brooke Shields and Paul Wall also had additions to their families? And being the media WHORE that she is, why didn’t Kimora Lee try to get knocked up 9 months ago so she could compete in the tabloids? Was she too busy trying to push “Fabulosity”?
















2- Are Amanda Lepore and “plastic surgery psycho” Jenny Lee this generation’s Jocelyn Wildenstein?













3- With the Whitney fiasco in full swing, does anyone care that Mike Tyson is also in rehab for HIS coke addiction? Also, is the monkey still on Rush Limbaugh’s back?

4- There are those of us who are struggling financially. Some of us are just plain broke. However, with gas prices up to $3 a gallon, with each penny costing the United States Mint 1.4 cents to produce (due to rising copper and zinc prices), and with not being able to snatch a decent pair of jeans for less than $200, how can ANYONE afford to be POOR anymore???




5- Swimsuit model May Andersen arrested for assaulting a flight attendant. Naomi possibly going to the clink for assaulting her assistants. Kate Moss a confirmed coke whore. Beverly Peele pulling stunts with other people’s credit cards. What’s next, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Yasmeen Ghauri and Helena Christiansen teaming up to rob Wachovia Bank (a la “Set it Off”)?…







6- Are Persia White and Tricky this generation’s Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz?


7- Considering the ongoing dissent amongst the ranks of this administration regarding its continuation and its initial necessity challenged by both major parties, is Iraq this generation’s Vietnam?

8- Is Kehinde Wiley this generation’s Jean-Michel Basquiat? With the release of the Basquiat sneaker, is Reebok pushing art history or capitalism?


9- Doesn’t Jennifer Lopez get major props for ramping up her fashion game by going from the famous Versace dress to genuine fucking couture in this month’s Bazaar?

10- Never mind Carmen San Diego, where in the F*&#K is BET's '106 & Park' alum FREE? OK, she hosts her own radio show on LA’s 100.3 The Beat, but why has she dropped off the social register? And where is her damn CD that’s been coming out for the last 2 years?








11- We ALL know that Vanessa Williams went on to great things after “the incident”…but where is Suzette Charles?



12- With 6 first-place victories in the last 7 races of the Boston Marathon, what the HELL are they feeding those Kenyan women?

13- They purport to be the leading American fashionistas. They urge the contestants to be “edgy” and “versatile”. SOOOOO...Why haven’t ‘America’s Next Top Model’ authorities Nigel Barker, Jay Manuel and Twiggy bothered to change their looks in AT LEAST the last THREE years? At the VERY least, Mr. Manuel’s bleached blond Bart Simpson look should have been shelved a LOOOOONG time ago (try 2 cycles ago! YAWN! SNORE!)…The English librarian effect that Twiggy rocks; the tailored blazer and unbuttoned stripped dress shirt that Nigel has pushed SINCE THE SHOW’S INCEPTION. Why are Tyra and the ever-opinionated Jay Alexander the only ones that put in the effort to give us something new from week to week? Yet you expect the chicks to give something different every week? C’mon: shouldn’t you bring it like u want it brought?





but I digress...
