Okay – so on my DIY blog, I had a WTF Friday going – but frankly every day with a toddler has you screaming WTF, so I thought it was WAY better suited to the Dish. So check back every Friday for the most ridiculous and inane celeb story of the week.
News broke this week that Kim Kardashian got engaged to her long time boyfriend (six months is a long time right???) Kris Humphries, an NBA player. How about a group ‘awwwww’. Listen, I have a weird affection for the Kardashian sisters. I think it’s the fact that there are three of them and a brother, just like my family, and I like to watch their interactions because honestly, celeb or not, family is family and I think it’s hilarious to watch.
ANYWAY. The engagement ring? It’s 20 CARATS. WTF?? What is the purpose of that? Why not get a two carat ring and feed a small African country for a year with the remainder? Okay maybe I’m jealous because my ring was under half a carat and I paid for it – but I digress. I think it’s just obnoxious. And who gets it when the marriage ends a year from now?
In other engagement news, Meg Ryan and John Mellencamp are getting married. I don’t understand why people insist on being married. They’re both past the age of having kids and they’ve both been married before so whyTF do you need to get married? Can’t you just live together?
But the actual ‘WTF’ on this story? Well – WTF happened to John Cougar? I used to have pictures in my locker of him and good god he was hot. Age has not been kind to my boy – hmmm maybe it’s the smoking buddy. Have you seen Springsteen lately?
Happy Weekend everybody!!!!!
haha, I adore Kim! She’s so rad! I believe she’s a great example for young people everywhere.
Can you even carry 20 carats around on your hand without some sort of cart under it for support? Yoiks. (mine is tiny, but I picked it and it works for me)
And I must say, you are assuming they will make it to the altar? *coughBennifercough*
Is he a cheater? I thought Meg was! Sorry about not getting my facts straight Jane! I’ll need to be a bit more diligent!
every time i see john mellencamp his head gets taller…wierd.
Jennifer, Quaid may age okay, but he’s still a cheater and heavy drinker. Not nice to be around.
As for the story re: the marriage of John: denied already by their reps. Typical National Enquirer poo. Sad to see so many sites take over gossip without checking facts these days.
yes- I used to love JC as well and he looks really unclean and unstable right now.
Meg could have aged really well – if she had let the clocks tick.
But Sara! I must disagree on the ‘I don’t understand why people insist on getting married when they are past the point of having children’
I may not invite you to my wedding
Ok I am single with no eye on anyone right now. But I love the idea of remarrying……..and there are no more eggs in my basket
*And I ^
Didn’t Khloe and Lamar get married after a month or something?
She hadn’t even met his kids when they got married?
I and imagine that the smoke hanging out of JCM’s mouth has a lot to do with his poor aging process. He looks very weathered and worn.
I really love the Kardashians too! I hope it works out…I mean, I got engaged after knowing my husband for less then 3 months (with a 0.7 carat ring, mind you) so there is potential for it to work out. But Kris Humphries seems nice, but so blah and kinda DUH. Considering the amount of basketball I watch with husband, I would know! He was a Raptor for a while so there’s totally a Toronto connection:)
And all this time I was thinking a Kardashian was a candy confection made from pistachios or something. Nevermind.
John’s hair is too hiiiiiiigh…
First, I love your optimism that the Kardashian union will last a year. You’re such a romantic, Sara!
I think John Cougar’s hot factor started to roll downhill around the time he added Mellencamp to the end of his name, and really picked up speed when he dropped the Cougar all together. By the looks of Meg Ryan lately (who used to be sooo adorable), she’s got a plastic surgeon on speed dial; maybe that’s what our Indiana rocker needs! (p.s. have you seen the ex-Mr.Ryan, Dennis Quaid lately…now he’s aging well!!)
