My goodness this show is BRUTAL. Our "beloved" ex-teen idols must face a focus group of ladies in the second episode of VH1's new celebreality nightmare Confessions of a Teen Idol, and it is a bit harshies to watch them talk about how Billy Hufsey has chia hair and that Adrian Zmed looks good for "someone pushing 60" (he's 54).They were hardest on the dude from Baywatch (whichever one is 27 but looks 40 and played David Hasselhoff's son), but he seems like one of the biggest jerks of the bunch so whatevs. In fact, both Baywatch dudes seem a bit douchey (the other one is named David Chokeme or something).
The guys are PO'ed and do a lot of grumbling about how "it's about what's inside!" Yeah, right, dudes. What planet do you live on?
Anyhoodle, the big winner of the focus group agony is Christopher Atkins, who is also the most sympathetic of the lot. They liken him to Robert Redford and seem thrilled to watch clips of The Blue Lagoon.
Next up is a reality check from Jen Rade, celebrity stylist to Angelina Jolie and others. She tells Baywatch Douche #1 (okay, his name is Jeremy Jackson) that his hair is Fabio-esque and seems appalled by Adrian Zmed's entire outfit. Good Lord, Jamie Walters CAN NOT BE THIS CLUELESS! You do not go from talking to angels to putting on a flannel shirt and saying "this is dressy!" She rips Eric Nies to shreds and he replies, "This is who I am." I'm sorry. Apparently I am the only person on Earth who doesn't know who Eric Nies is. I hated The Real World from Day 1 and never saw The Grind. So sue me!
The guys go shopping at Lisa Kline, and I have to admit that Nies' resistance to all things trendy actually made me laugh. Not out loud or anything but totally on the inside.
I'm not even going to discuss their spa and salon visit... Eeeee.
Makeovers done, Rade inspects the lads and tells Jackson that he went from "porn star to pop star." I'm a little disturbed that they all came back wearing Converse as if somehow Chucks are the new fountain of youth.
This is an epic journey we're on, friends. It's you, me and Jamie Walters' new jeans. We're all gonna make it. We'll all be in the spotlight again.
Okay, i guess everyones entitled to their oppinion.
ReplyDeletebut they baywatch guys are the best ones on there.
&you didnt even know Jeremy Jacksons name. pathetic.
Jeremy Jackson is the "27 year old who looks 40"
&You spelled David's name wrong.
David Chokachi. not Chokeme or whatever you said.
&id way rather watch Jeremy than Christopher.
