But I am ADDICTED to that reality show Blow Out – about the hotshot alpha male hairdresser. I find him FASCINATING. I just … God. I am succumbing. What am I saying … I HAVE succumbed. It’s over. I’m in. I’m hooked.

Don’t forget Bobby Brown and Whitney’s reality show..think that debuts this week.
Oh, I know. I will have to check that out.
But Bobby Brown is a squat pathetic sweaty hobbit.
This Jonathan guy is AWESOME. A fascinating individual. Like Warren Beatty in Shampoo.
Um.
Did you hear about that? The..um… constipation scene? In the Bobby & Whitney show?
Here it is (from popbitch.com)
Being Bobby Brown, starts end June:
The couple’s drugged-up ghetto lifestyle in full glare. One episode has Bobby describing how he helped his wife with her constipation, by inserting his fingers to massage it out.
Whitney says, “When I told my girlfriends about it, they said ‘That’s real love, baby. That’s real black love.'” Bobby then holds up four fingers and wiggles them in front of the camera.
I’m with you sheila,
I can’t turn away from Jonathan…SO movie star hair dresser…SO “I AM Jonathan!”, and at the drop of a hat…the tears…the sentimentality…
Combine his hungry naked ambition with his non-stop mirror crazed narcisissm, his cast of alternately uber groovy and beaten down underlings…
Well, I don’t get any work done when they run the marathons!
No way! Is there really going to be a Bobby and Whitney show?!?! I dont think I’ll be able to sleep tonite!
bill – exactly! when he gets all choked up – but he’s such a tough guy – and how he talks: “Hey, man, I just want to do hair … okay? That’s what I’m about.” And how he calls cute women “nuggets” … I just cannot get enough.
RTG –
I’m sorry, but that is so nasty. NASTY. Also, what’s with the racial comment: “That’s real black love.”
Uh … it is?
Yeah. It’s wrong on many, many levels.
yes…the ‘man’ thing…hey, man…hey nugget, as in “hey, (man, nugget) I can’t remember your name…”
I didn’t get a chance to see how Jonathan’s weird mano-o-mano feud with the angry wired beady-eyed product design guy concluded yet…but hey, man (nugget)…I gotta catch up soon…
Also love his tearing up when he tells the “rags to jonathan” success story…
bill – exactly!! “nuggets”. hahaha
He ended up throwing the piss-ant wirey angry guy out of his salon, and then punching a wall. I loved how he bitch-slapped him, and said, “You do not talk to me in that tone.” He called the dude on his attitude – but he was upset about it. Hole-in-the-wall upset.
But then he went home, crawled into bed, and his girlfriend-nugget brought him soup, and he got to relax.
Bro, seriously.
I love how he calls people “bro”. I love how he jerks people around knowing and kind of revels in his ability to take them back up, e.g. NOT taking Kimberly to New York which depressed her so much that she slept all day and contemplated leaving, but then he takes her to a photo shoot so that her most excellent blow drying techniques will be seen all over. Well, in a magazine I’ve never heard of anyway. I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen to Edward – will he finally learn to make straight cuts to the floor in order to master Jonathan’s signature long layered cut, or will he end up sobbing in the fetal position in the alley? And just when I’m sipping from the hatorade and curling my lip he takes me along to therapy where he exhibits a level of self awareness I didn’t know he had by saying that he doesn’t know if it’s him or bottle boy that has the bad attitude.
But, bro, seriously? Bottle boy was so totally passive aggressive. If you won’t meet at my office where I can show you lots of bottles then I’m only bringing one and I’m going to stay here until you see that this is the best bottle.
Okay, clearly I’ve gone completely around the bend, but then this show got me in it’s clutches last year. And is it just me or are his legs really really short in relation to his torso?
Oh my god, is there more, is there a second season?
I’m just trying to reconcile “alpha male” with “hairdresser”.
bill – yeah, you’ve gotta see it. This dude is tough, no bull shit, he cuts right to the heart of stuff – takes no prisoners – loves women – and he’s an awesome hairdresser.
I’m telling you – he’s Warren Beatty in Shampoo, except perhaps a little bit more evolved.
He’s really fascinating, and I would LOVE to get his famous “long-layer haircut”. They look incredible.
Carrie – I believe yes, we are now on the second season. Not sure, though – I just got hooked on it recently.
Ohhh, gad I am sad but can’t wait til it makes it over here. You are onto something with the Shampoo reference – see here:
