i Ain't One to Gossip But ...

Wow, this bitch … this past week embattled “Housewife” Erika Jayne seemed to compare herself to Jesus Christ over the public scrutiny she’s faced for her ongoing legal troubles in which she looks like a con artist stealing money from widows and orphans.

A “fan” of the grifter posted a message to social media implying that being slammed in the court of public opinion is the same as Jesus being crucified on the cross:

And Erika Jayne liked being compared to Jesus until people started coming for her:

“Erika Jayne comparing herself to Christ is … absolutely insane.  This woman has lost her damn mind.”

“Erika Jayne is pulling a Vicki Gunvalson comparing her own (self imposed) drama to the crucifixion of Christ….. Girl PUHLEASEEEEEEE”

And because Erika is a vindictive child she battled back with this:

Oh Erika, you aren’t anything near Christ-like. You stayed married for over twenty years to a man who paid for your every whim, like being an aging pop star, and when he slipped some $25 million in your LLC bank account, that you knew wasn’t yours, you spent it willingly.

And you only left your husband minutes before the scandal broke that he was stealing from victims of an airplane crash.

Again, not Christ-like.

There’s a simple rule about comedy: don’t try it unless you know you’re funny. Amirite, Barbara Corcoran?

Corcoran is feeling the heat after a body shaming “joke” about Whoopi Goldberg on the View. It happened last week when Corcoran, a Shark Tank judge visited the show with Good American CEO and founder Emma Grede, who is set to become the first Black, female guest shark on Shark Tank. During their conversation, The View co-host Sunny Hostin raved about Good American‘s size-inclusive jeans, and Whoopi Goldberg, a comedian, made a joke, saying:

“Will they fit this COVID [butt]?”

Barbara responded with:

“When you get finished with those jeans, and decide you don’t like them, give them to me. I’m gonna make two pairs.” 

The camera then panned to Whoopi, who looked both shocked and unamused, while co-host, and No Fucks Left To Give, Ana Navarro jumped in to defend her and threw a jab at the floral-print dress Barbara was wearing.

“Whoopi, let me just tell you something. Both Sara Haines and Jill Biden wore [Corcoran’s] dress already, on TV.” 

Lessons learned:

Barbara Corcoran should leave the so-called comedy to the comedians.

Fat-shaming anyone, even a comedian, is not a joke.

Ana Navarro will always have your back.

After the film adaptation of his original production of Cats flopped in theaters in 2019, receiving a litter of scathing reviews, Andrew Lloyd Webber got a therapy dog:

“I saw [Cats], and I just thought, ‘Oh, God, no!’ It was the first time in my 70-odd years on this planet that I went out and bought a dog. So the one good thing to come out of it is my little Havanese puppy.”

I didn’t see Cats because I’m trying to cut out cheese, but I heard a lot of people needed therapy after watching the film.

Sidenote—and this slays me: after spending the entire lockdown together, Lloyd Webber petitioned to have the dog allowed on a plane, and when the airline asked if he could “prove” that he needed the dog, Lloyd said:

“Yes, just see what Hollywood did to my musical Cats."

To which they responded with:

“No doctor’s report required.”

Snap.

Katie Couric really has nothing new going on, so she wrote a book, Going There, in which she trashes just about everyone.

She says Prince Harry reeked of alcohol and cigarettes when she met him at a polo match decades ago during his hard partying days.

She sang a stupid song to the Martha Stewart and when she didn’t laugh, Katie dubber her a humorless C U Next Tuesday.

She writes about a 2010 dinner at Jeffrey Epstein’s house with Prince Andrew, Chelsea Handler, Woody Allen and Soon-Yi Previn, George Stephanopoulos and Charlie Rose, and says her seventeen years younger boyfriend, remarked how young the women were who took their coats, and says:

“I couldn’t imagine what Epstein and Andrew were up to, apart from trying to cultivate friends in the media. Which, in retrospect, they must have figured they’d need when the pedophilia charges started rolling in.”]

Um, Katie, in 2010, before you accepted his invite, Epstein had already been convicted and served time for procuring a child for prostitution, so your now faux outrage doesn’t fit.

Couric, who covered for Today co-host Deborah Norville in 1991 when Norville took maternity leave, says she got Norville’s job because Norville was “too pretty” at a time in the morning when people were still getting ready for the day.

Norville was too pretty? How feminist of you, Katie.

Katie saw Today as her “turf” and kept an eye on any woman who was “younger and cuter” like Ashleigh Banfield whose “father was telling anyone who’d listen that she was going to replace me.”

Banfield has already hit back at the lie, saying that at the time she was reporting from a war zone in Afghanistan and her father made a comment that he’d like to have NBC give Ashleigh a desk job, and to Katie that was an assault.

Other targets in Katie’s book include Joan Rivers, possibly because Joan saw through her and hated her; she says she once went on a date with Michael Jackson and said he had a hand like a dead fish; she slams  Neil Simon, whom she also dated, because he was ALLEGEDLY too old, or too turned off, to fuck; she says Larry King once came at her tongue-first and tried to jump her bones.

And she especially loathed her rival Diane Sawyer as the two battled to be the top star in morning TV news and told her bosses:

"That woman must be stopped."

Couric says she and Sawyer battled over interviews and talks about the time Katie got an exclusive with two teens who had been abducted because her team pointed out that she was a widowed mother of two girls, while Sawyer was just a stepmother. 

And then she has the balls to say that Sawyer’s interview with the late Whitney Houston was exploitative, and that Sawyer used Houston's personal troubles to get good sound bites. 

But, and this is rich, she actually texted “I love you and care about you deeply” to serial predator Matt Lauer after he was fired for sexual harassment.

Tying it all up, Katie Couric hates women who are younger and prettier, funnier, more talented, but dines with child rapists and loves sexual predators.

Little Miss Perky is also quite a bitch, apparently.

  1. I heard the film Cats was rubbish but never saw it. I was, however, given free tickets to see it in 1989 in Pittsburgh, the night before the movers were coming to pack us up for our move back to Switzerland. I should have stayed home packing because I HATED that muscial!

  2. Is that pic of Katie Couric a VERY old one or has she had way, way too much plastic surgery?

    Webber has nothing to brag about because Cats was not the great musical he thinks it is.

    @Helen
    That's the photo for the cover of her book so it must be new and retouched or her face has been rebuilt.

  4. Erika who?

    Barbara who? You can bet she takes that bias everywhere she goes.

    Doesn't AL Webber look like a bad Dickens character?

    Oh, and Katie should have titled her book "Who Cares?"

  5. Damn! Couric is the REAL CU Next Tuesday!

    I love these Saturday morning posts, Bob. I'm not sure if I've ever told you that, but they're a lot of fun and I look forward to them.

    Katie's thirsty for attention.

    @Jennifer
    Yes, she is.
    Glad you enjoy a little snark, I do, too!

  8. I just now saw the Whoppi story, When I saw her I must admit I was shocked how big she got...are we sure Barbara Wawa and Megan McCain actually left the show????

  9. A few thoughts from Victor's desk:

    *Barbra C. is rich as hell. She founded a very successful real estate company and the rest is history. She is snatched within an inch of her life. Trust me if she was at a dinner party and said that to Whoppie, Whoppie would have had a first-class beat down. Whoppie does not suffer fools lightly. Leave the comedy to those who can pull it off. Eat a burger lady.

    *The only good thing from the ORIGNAL Cats is Betty Buckley. What a beautiful voice. Saw her in an intimate show at Caravan of Dreams in Ft. Worth, Texas. Front row seats. We talked during the performance. The music stand was in my view and she agreed to move it IF I would hold her music if she forgot a line or two. Deal! The show was great and towards the end, she said something to the effect of everyone is expecting her to sing this song so here goes. She went into singing Mermory.

    *Katie is what we would call a "mean girl." I have worked in corporate for years and I have seen this type of behaviour all too often. To succeed as a woman, one does not have to act like men, i.e. an ass. It is just not a pretty look on ANYONE. Treat everyone with kindness and respect. A little competition is good. Maybe you need to up your game.

    Have a great weekend dear.

    Regular as clockwork!

    @Maddie
    You are bad, and I am loving it!

    @Victor
    Corcoran should stick to her lane, which isn’t comedy.
    I agree about Buckley, she’s one of my favorites. Her Sunset Blvd was epic.
    I was shocked by Katie’s actions toward other women and the fact that she admits it.

  11. Why is Barbara Corcoran even on television? She's a Realtor!

    In all fairness to Katy Couric, from what I've heard about Martha Stewart, she IS fairly humorless.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Wow... who knew Katie C. was such a two-faced b*tch? I mean, besides everyone...

    Andrew L W - That B*tch owes me a dog! For I actually feel that way about all his so-called 'muzzicals.' Except Evita and JC Superstar... of course, he didn't write those alone.

    You'd think that a woman would know better? So what does that make Corcoran? Clearly she's been living among the sharks to long. Maybe that's why she tanked?

    Erika Jayne! She has Kanye Fever. Remember when Kanye thought he WAS Jesus? Yazzz! Oh, that was juicy month an a half. Let's hope Erika recovers much quicker. I hear there's a Russian brothel with a bed reserved just for her use!

    Thanks for the dirt, dear. Kizzes.

    I guess she's on a show called Shark Tank, too, but she doesn't do funny, and should never do funny.
    I will say that I think Martha has changed since prison; she is rather funny now. I just don't know why Couric would dish SO many people, well, except for her sexual predator friend Lauer.

    @upton
    That perky shiz was all a façade, She's a horrible person.
    Yes, I find it funny he says the movie Cats was so horrible when the show Cats was, and is, along running joke.
    Corcoran. Whoopi isn't telling her how to sell real estate so she should stay the eff out of the comedy club. Bitch ain't funny.
    I think Erika knew what was happening and got out. I mean, she dumped her husband almost as soon as he dropped $25 million into her business bank account.
