I thought I was in the clear

I thought I was safe.

I thought I was home-free.

Apparently not.

And now I think I'm going to be sick.

"MENNIFER??????" That doesn't even make SENSE. I mean, anyone who has read me for any amount of time, knows my feelings about Bennifer (I'm having flashbacks of horror just writing that stupid word) - however, the pun at least was based on something. You know: Ben, Jen ... Meld the words together? Bennifer.

But Marc, Jen ... somehow equals MENNIFER?

grrrrr

I am so sick of that bitch. I'm sorry. I liked her in Out of Sight and she has SO out-stayed her welcome in my book.

I have a lot of thoughts about why I think she is, in actuality, legitimately insane with a host of psychological issues ... but I won't bore you with all of that.

It's a wonder they haven't gone for the name blend Jerk instead of Mennifer. No? :-)

Mrs. Mennifer?

Well, since they like to call each other "Lola" and "Papi," maybe it could be something like "Pola" or "Lapi" or whatever?

I prefer the more traditional nicknames and intend to stick to "annoying, over-exposed fucks."

Any guy who would submit to HAVING to have his name blend with hers (even if it MAKES NO SENSE) deserves what he gets.

May-lo?

Merciless, Emily, but right on the mark.

"May-lo?" Hmmm..

"Mrs. Mennifer" is pretty freakin' funny, if you think about it.

You know, with all this name melding (I just read that Mr. Brittany Spears goes by the moniker "K. Fed"), I think I'm going to start demanding that everyone refer to me as E-Jo.

Posted by: Emily at February 24, 2005 6:18 PM

Or E-Jit..

*wanders off again*

Sounds like a rap name, Emily.

"E-Jo, winner of 5 Grammys last year for best new rap hip-hop artist..."

Posted by: red at February 24, 2005 6:23 PM

Hey, Pete...hold still, will ya?

*}smack{*

Thanks. I feel better now.

Posted by: Emily at February 24, 2005 6:25 PM

Did I type that out loud, Emily?

Me Bad.

Too bad Mark doesn't have an SM fetish; then they could be J-Lo and Cool Whip.

"Mennifer" sounds like she's had a big operation.

you know, the one. The Gender Reassignment surgery. A/k/a the "addadicktome" operation.


(Well, ok, she did get one added to her but not in the way the operation typically goes.)

The best form of not caring is ignoring. Skip the article; flip the channel; change the station; don't patronize their movies or CDs. Old fashioned shunning was a marvelous tool.

bachbone:

Absolutely not.

First of all, there is much that is incorrect in your assumption. I do not watch her movies. I do not buy her CDs. I groaned out loud when I saw a huge neon sign over Macy's, announcing her fashion line. I do not buy her clothes. I ACTIVELY try to avoid J Lo. And yet ... she seems to INSIST that she always be in my face. She has not learned the art of disappearing (one of the best things an over exposed actor can learn). She thinks she needs to be on every cover every month ... and if she's not?? If her latest relationship ISN'T on every cover, she doubts her existence, her whole role on this planet.

So. You assume that I succumb willingly to the onslaught. I do not.

I cannot avoid seeing her smiling mug on every damn magazine cover ... It would be impossible to avoid her.

Lastly: you don't get me yet. I don't know if you read me a lot or what, but if I did what you said? If I took your advice? I would then deprive myself of one of my greatest enjoyments: being annoyed at J-Lo and then writing rants about it.

Please don't ask me to give it up.

J-No is a scab. And she must be picked.

Posted by: Lisa at February 25, 2005 10:43 AM

J-No. hahaha

I should make signs and picket outside of Macy's.

"J-LO? HELL, NO."

Posted by: red at February 25, 2005 10:45 AM

J Lo does have some strong competition, though. Hilary Duff, Lindsay Lohan - the entertainment world seems to be chock-full of annoyingly omnipresent, less than stunningly talented personalities these days...

Posted by: MikeR at February 25, 2005 11:28 AM

Oh yeah, kudos to Lisa for Mrs. Mennifer.

Posted by: MikeR at February 25, 2005 11:35 AM

While I can't vouch for Lindsay Lohan's horrible-ness as a singer, I can say that she was absolutely adorable and lovable in Mean Girls. I call myself a Lohan convert proudly.

Posted by: red at February 25, 2005 11:38 AM

She was just precious in The Parent Trap, too. I remember seeing that movie and thinking she was going to be big someday. And not just her boobs.

Posted by: Lisa at February 25, 2005 12:14 PM

Mennifer sounds like the name of an exciting new one-hit wonder transsexual band.

(Sarcastic George Carlin DJ voice)

"...and now screaming to the top of the charts, it's Mennifer with the second cut off of their only album in their career...'Maybe you will!'...."
