Fox News Anchor Apologizes For Making Fun Of Kelly Clarkson's Weight


Katie Hopkins a*journalist* and *TV personality* said some nasty things about Ms. Clarkson. (And she was NOT apologetic when she was called on her comments.)

And now, Chris Wallace chimes in?

Also, on the show The Last Man On Earth writer, comedian and actress Kristen Schaal has had to endure comments from people posting about her appearance.

I know people in public have to put up with this crud but...why?

Peace.

Katie Hopkins is an odious cretin who has made a career out of making objectionable comments on pretty much every topic under the sun. She's basically an oxygen thief and anything she says should be ignored. She'll never apologize, and will actually attack anyone who asks or expects her to. IIRC she's only famous for being booted off The Apprentice (UK) and being a gob on a stick.
If I had my way she'd be involuntarily included on the one-way mission to Mars...and I'd make sure her pod malfunctioned upon landing so she couldn't give any Martian microbes a hard time.
Just the fact that Britain could produce anyone like her shames us all. :down:

Don't feel bad. We have Nancy Grace and Ann Coulter and Giuliana Rancic. Oh, and Rush Limbaugh, and Glenn Beck, and Michael Reagan, and...

Please, yes. STHU if you want to be ugly. No one needs it.

Once, on a local radio station, a female radio personality called Aretha Franklin a "cow" and wondered why anyone would pay to see her these days. Yes. I nearly drove off the road. This is has been many years ago, but I fired off a letter to her.

Then, same radio gal, blew the ending of The Sixth Sense for all the listeners.

Then she went away.

But you say true, Sig. No one needs to hear that. No one ever at all.

Peace, darlin'

Oh, she's not alone, she's just the most vocal/notorious. A number of media types are, or have become, the same way. They may or may not have taken their cue from various idiots on Fox News, CNN, wherever, but hiding behind the ignorance or stupidity of others and saying 'it's a journalistic trend/what the audience expects' is no excuse.
Maybe we can stick them all on the same mission and make sure it has no chance of getting there...

Those hacks making fun of Kelly Clarkson only WISH they had half of her success, popularity and paycheck.

I know this isn't what you're after, but my favorite line about not saying anything nice...

Hi!

Have mercy.

My BFF had The Sixth Sense ruined. From what I understand, a co-worker asked him if he had seen the movie yet. My BFF replied, "No. I'm going to watch it this weekend."

The son-of-a-motherless-goat said

Bruce Willis was dead all along.

:evil:

Peace to you, dear Holly.

Hi, sir!

You made me laugh. (I even snorted once while laughing.)

Starting with "odious cretin," that is the River of Pejoration that flows with gold. Nicely done!

Reminiscent of a "Happy Days" episode. Mr. and Mrs. C were going to see a movie. "Which movie?" the teenager asks. "Psycho," they answer. And the overripe human pimple then says
"You'll love it! Tony Perkins is his own mother!"

Hi, ma'am.

I love Steel Magnolias! And, yes I understand. I had a neighbor who was sweet as sugar and she would say, "Sigs, (Hold on. I have to translate what she said from Spanish to English.) Have any dish? I have some gossip. We can trade!"

Have mercy.
