Ah, the wonders of good lighting, makeup, and maybe even some photo editing software. Imagine having to wake up every day to the one on the left.
I’ll admit I watched the first ep of I Want to Work for Diddy. I watched that whole block of new shows on VH1 when it premiered and to put it mildly, I don’t watch any of those shows anymore. None of them were entertaining or different enough to keep my interest although New York visibly put some junk in her trunk. She’s still a horrid looking, everything’s-fake-as-fuck-on-her bitch though. I’d drill it but would tell absolutely no one!
Reality tv is turning the tv medium into that cesspool that was prophesied years ago. I don’t have a prob with the genre as there are some quality shows out there that I watch faithfully. I do have a prob with a lot of it being the same ol’, same ol’, rehashed, boring bullshit. 3 judges (nice guy, mean guy, hot bitch), voting people off, celebs whose lives and personalities are totally uninteresting, scripted events and dialogue, spinoffs, jacked ideas from overseas programming, and on and on and on. It’s just to the point of being fucking ridiculous and pathetic. Nothing new or innovative, just the same ol’ garbage ass bullshit.
What’s worse is people I refer to as ‘reality tv whores.’ No, not skanky, tramp stamped, porn star slut bitches you see on Rock of Love. Nope, not even people who are so simple-minded that reality tv is all they’re capable of being entertained by. I’m talking about those people who get their fame from appearing on reality shows. People like Marcus Foy, Omarosa, Shayne Lamas, and of course…Poprah. Her real name is Kimberly Kearney. Her original claim to fame was as a singer for the group Sweetbox. Their hit back in ’95 was “Booyah (Here we go).” That’s back when she was called Tempest. That’s also back when she was a lot thinner than she is now and I’m talkin’ a lot! She was actually pretty damn hot. Reading around, I’ve come to learn that she purposely gained weight so people in the entertainment industry (men) wouldn’t keep trying to wanna fuck her rather than treat her as a serious professional entertainer. Sounds far-fetched but I’ve heard this excuse before from other people and you know what? I believe her…
…to an extent. She’s a fat, loudmouth, black bitch with an attitude. Stereotypical black female. Dontcha just hate those? Call her a one hit wonder if you want since basically that’s what she was. She either fell off or bided her time for a comeback of a different sort. She came back alright…and brought about 100 pounds with her. Flavor of Love mania hit and she produced the “Flavor of Love Girls Tour” that featured some of your favorite (and least fave) idiot bitches from that show. She even did some work for BET on College Hill.
Then there was a radio singing competition called “Dig It or Dis It” and it was made into a tv show that seemingly only aired on the CW in Atlanta. She was the host of the show. It’s probable that the period after this show was when the extra pounds started becoming more and more visible. Kinda hard to miss actually.
Her biggest (no pun intended…ok, pun intended) claim to fame was an appearance as a contestant on the copycat ABC show Fat March. And when I say an appearance, that’s about all it was. Lazy ass bitch quit the damn show in the first ep. That’s why I say I believe her when she said she gained the weight on purpose “to an extent.” Being on this show is kind of a direct contradiction. At the same damn time, she quit. So she either wanted face time or she seriously wanted to lose weight but couldn’t hack it. And as we can all see now, she still can’t…or doesn’t want to. Whichever version she wants to go with. She even had a blog with a few posts dissing the show. Click here to read it. Whether the show was fake or not and had a shitty concept on how to lose weight, she was still on it for specific reasons. Only she knows what those are. I suppose she realized that gaining all that weight to look unattractive to men in the industry also meant looking that way to all men period and she wanted to know what dick felt like again but even chubby chasers stayed away.
Now she’s back again on I Want to Work for Diddy. She either had to go through the casting process with info via this site or she’s got connections and they just gave her a spot. Someone in her position has gotta know some people, right? You tellin’ me she showed up at a casting call and nobody knew who the fuck she was? With her credentials? Shit. She’s got a clothing line and shit: Fatabulous Clothing. Please. Gimme a fuckin’ break. Peep that damn site. Some of the joints is tight but a majority of that shit is just that: shit! Not a lot of selection either. I’d like to think that the site is updated regularly with new items but, to me, it don’t look like it. If it is, she shouldn’t be bragging about those slim pickins.
And some of the models on the site just look busted as fuck (aka ghetto). Obviously the white bitch is the best looking cuz she got the biggest rack. And she ain’t ugly at all either. She tight work. The black chick in the other black shirt on the homepage is second place in my book. Them other bitches? The one with the darkest skin gets third place. Those other two chicks? They’ll get it, but they ain’t nothin’ to be braggin’ to the homies about. Let me just say this: fat ain’t where it’s at. Ain’t nothin’ healthy about it and, in the long term, nothin’ attractive about it. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve tagged my fair share and will continue to do so as long as I’m still single. They gotta get that knock just like every other bitch, but that weight gotta come the fuck off if you expect me to keep your big ass as my one and only.
And the goodies don’t stop there. She’s the top dog or her own multimedia company called Hollywood South Productions. Along with her clothing line, she plugs it and has links to it on her online profiles. One interesting thing on that site is the link for the movie “Afta Party” created and written (as it says on the site) by her. Looks to be some cheeseball horror movie. The copyright date on that page is 2006 so one has to wonder if the idea has been scrapped or if it’s just taking a long time to finish. Being that it’s spelled ‘afta,’ you just know it’s some nigger ass movie. Plus, the word ‘bizarre’ is spelled ‘bazaar’ in the description. I can say with 100% confidence that that misspelling is a lot scarier than anything that may or may not appear in that movie. Did Diddy’s people even bother to check references and do a background check? If something like that was on my or your resume, we wouldn’t get a call back, now would we? Unless the employer missed it. Not saying much for Diddy’s people, is it?
But they still brought her into the fold regardless of if they knew who she was or not. She may be there legitimately or for entertainment value. Who knows. Big ass was on the chopping block the first week out. Walk around New York City? Her? Yeah right. Past experience has shown that idea was gonna fail miserably. Any surprise that they lost? Not to me. The show just had to have someone like her, didn’t it, for the drama and conflict aspect? Fucking Poprah. You all realize that name is just a gimmick, right? She’s trying to reinvent herself by branding herself with a memorable name. She even has a pitch for the damn thing. I don’t think she’ll win this competition because I don’t think she really wants to. An opportunity existed for face time and to network with major players in her chosen profession and she took it. And I can’t hate on that.
Why would someone who promotes her damn self so much wanna work for someone else and she has her own shit goin’ on? Think about that shit. The shit she wants to do is similar to what Diddy’s got goin’ on. Maybe she wants to be on the inside of something that’s already up so she can learn and take that knowledge so she can come up. Being that the ‘P’ in her moniker stand for ‘Puffy,’ which basically gives props to Diddy, I’d say that’s her true objective. She has a shelf life on this show. They wanna keep her around for ratings and then she’s history. That’s how I think it’ll end up. The show’s already wrapped, I’m sure, but I don’t see someone like her winning. If she does (and remember, this is on VH1), I can see the spinoff already: I Love Poprah. Nah. How bout Poprah of Love? Or My Fair Poprah? No? Strange Poprah? Ooh, I got it: Poprah Knows Best.
Yep, her name is Pooprah…I mean Poprah. Has her own website with a .net domain registration. Somebody in Pompano Beach (according to the whois info) must’ve had the same idea in mind since they own the .com domain. She either popped off at the mouth about her plans a long time ago and someone snatched it before her, she might’ve had a disagreement with that person and they’re bogarting it, or someone had something different in mind altogether and hasn’t done shit with it. If that’s the case, I’m sure she’s waiting for that expiration date to pass. .net is just so hard to remember, you know? You can catch her on MySpace as Poprah here. Nothing more than a copy and paste job from her official site (which has little content at the moment) and her VH1 profile (as a Famous VH1 Friend). Then there’s her regular MySpace profile here. Looks brand spanking new or abandoned to me since Tom is her only friend. Damn shame. The significance of it is that she actually has a video there that shows her when she was thin and hot, interviewing music celebs. Peep it here.
I think it’s pretty safe to say this show will not be the last we see of her. She’s hardcore self-promoting and it won’t end with this show. I find it extremely hard to believe that someone who’s been around music royalty in one fashion or another is on that show and Diddy nor his peeps have the first clue who she is. I just can’t believe that. I refuse to. She was talking all that shit about the fakeness of Fat March. I just have to believe there is a degree of fakeness, dare I say it…bitchassness on the production side of I Want To Work for Diddy. Either they’re in on it or she’s using them. Gotta be one of the two or both. I also believe with her new persona that the weight is slowly but surely gonna disappear. Not Star Jones disappear, but it’ll come off if she truly wants to be taken seriously. Just because Oprah is her idol doesn’t mean she has to look like her. If I saw a sloppy lookin’ bitch come walking into my place and wants to do biz with me, I’d tell her to turn the fuck around and squeeze back through the damn door you just came in from. You don’t even care about your damn self, why should I? Thyroid my ass!
