Jack & Jill Politics

Neither Wendy Williams or Tyra Banks have the caliber of Oprah. I used to hear Wendy's show in New York at work (earphones), so I follow her new syndicated daytime show. Frankly, both of these girls are happy with the B-listers.

Anyone want to agree that possibly the daytime talk show is on its last legs?

I just have to say that Oprah's eye makeup always looks amazing. Actually, her makeup artist does wonders.

But back to her show, I think she is making the right decision. She's done this for a nearly a quarter of a century. She will still be a media mogul and a powerful force.

I went to see Precious today. The acting by Monique and Gaby Sidibe? was very,
very good. The movie was depressing but I knew it would be. There were some touching moments, but it was a grim story, all in all.

did Monique do Oscar caliber work, IYO?

Something was off kilter about the movie. I don't know if it was the directing
or the screenplay, but it could have been a much better movie.

Yes she did. Her character seemed very natural. It didn't seem as though she was acting at all. I will always think of this role whenever I see her.

awww!!

that seemed definitely heartfelt.

We were talking at work about who would replace Oprah, and Tyra Banks name came up. I seriusly hope not. Tyra just seems so phoney to me on her show.
Maybe it's because Oprah has been doing this for so long, but Oprah, at the least< no matter what the tipic made it seem liek she really was listening and actually cared about each and every guest who came on her show.

Tyra is phony in general. She is too over the top. I loved it when she whined about the black girls not liking her in high school. They probably didn't like her because she was PHONY. Black people have a built-in PHONY DETECTOR. I was through with Tyra when she yelled at Tiffany with the Beer Weave for not buckdancing and crying when she got kicked off the show. I've always thought it was interesting how Tyra would insinuate Naomi Campbell always had a problem with the other black models yet you never heard of any other black model...or model in general...having problems with Naomi. And if they did have problems with her, they all kept their mouths shut about it. Maybe Naomi had a problem with Tyra because she's PHONY, not because she's black.

Somewhere, Iyanla Vanzant is kicking herself.

there's a sincerity to Oprah that made her the success at what she did. Tyra talks about going ' natural', making this big deal of it, and shows up with PERMED hair, and thinks that's enough? I can't make it through an episode of her show.

Is it sad that I like Wendy Williams show better? Weny at least ain't trying to be sometihng she ain't. She'll tell you in a minute that she loves to gossip, and she ain't shy about admitting it.
