In this week’s compilation of pop culture crap, 30 Rock does Real Housewives, American Idol takes censorship too far, and Marlee Matlin teaches us about attitude.
1.) “‘My Single Is Dropping’ is dropping.”
This week, 30 Rock spoofed the Real Housewives franchise with Tracy’s wife Angie’s reality show Queen of Jordan. Including a bunch of different elements from the different Housewives cities, it was spot-on with drink-throwing, table flipping, a psychic smoking a fake cigarette, a recurring argument revolving around whether or not someone said something, Angie recording a single (“My Single Is Dropping”), and a gay male best friend/hairdresser/party-planner.
2.) Speaking of Housewives…
This chick is joking about her toddlers being overachievers because they have good “scribbles,” right? Right!? I mean, normally, I would think that someone would be joking about something like this, but this one has actually previously said something to the effect that she believes that God made her beautiful to help with God’s plan—giving no credit to her plastic surgeon.
3.) Censoring gone wild.
This week, American Idol bleeped out “Shih Tzu”—as in the dog breed, and not a zoo where people poop.
