Really?! REALLY?! Carrie Prejean vs. Larry King, Lindsay Lohan vs. Michael Lohan and "Bad Romance" with Lady Gaga (Episode 27)

In this week's episode, Michelle covers Carrie Prejean being all smiles as she faces off with Larry King, and Michael Lohan missing the gene to be a positive role model and father to Lindsay.

And the week wouldn't be complete without the Really?! REALLY?! question: What are your thoughts on Lady Gaga's new video for "Bad Romance"?

Learn out more about Michelle at MySpace.com/anythingsarcastic, follow her on Twitter and check back next Friday for another episode of Really?! REALLY?!

weird finger moment*

I don't think you do the whole really, really thing correctly though the really, really topics you brought up are really, really worthy. 

 

The Michael Lohan tapes get worst when you hear the ones where he recorded Dina Lohan Lindsay's mother. Michael always claims to have this great source in which he gets all his "facts" from about his daughter and now we know that his source is non other then Dina Lohan. This woman has been feeding him bullshit for years and years and I wonder if this is part to the reason why he is so crazy when it comes to "helping" his daughter? It's all sad. Poor Lindsay, I mean how do you or anyone deal when with all this?  I only wish that Lindsay realizes that her Mother is too part of the evil that she needs to cut from her life.

Really? REALLY?

Seth and Amy's original "REALLY?" Segments were much better in the sense that they weren't REALLY... REALLY rants, so much as super witty one liners

More to the effect of: Really Carrie? Really? you didn't think Larry King would throw a couple of hard to answer questions about the not so intelligent shit you seem to think you have to say? Really? REALLY? hmmm

mildlypeeledpotatoes's picture

i know! like, the topics are

i know! like, the topics are actually interesting, usually, but she always sounds as though she is whining, protesting all the time....the whole voice intonation and "really really" thing.... i swear some times i see she's posted a new blog but if i'm tired i don't even listen because i don't want to hear someone in a complaining mode...... and it's a pity because the topics are generally cool....

Everything she just said, about the Lohan sitch.

Totally agree,

When I saw the clip of Carrie at LK, I just sat there like, what the hell is up with that girl? And the LiLo thing with her dad, I mean, if my dad did this to me I probably would never talk to him ever again, so big props to her for, atleast trying, to be calm about it.. I saw Bad Romance just yesterday, and the only thing running throug my head from start to finnish, was that she's starting to resemble me of Madonna.. Our-time Madonna.. Anyone else feeling the same way? hehe..
mildlypeeledpotatoes's picture

yes! i think that if lady

yes! i think that if lady gaga doesn't overdo the "grotest-like" thing of her whole stage persona, she could well become the new madonna and entertain us for a decade... more, she has the possibility of becoming bigger than madonna since, let's face it, she sings better that madonna and overall has better music qualities.... does madonna even play an instrument or write her own stuff? LADY GAGA RULEZ
lizrem's picture

Yes, xactly,

Her voice is incredibly strong! Ever heard her live and uncencored? Wow, she's just, wow, I mean, who can stand on 6 inch heels on top of a piano bench, bending down to play Pokerface acoustically aaand singing live at the sime time?? When I saw that I was just in awe... And the fact that we don't get the Bad Romance vid, and keep on watching it, only works in her benefit, "all" pr is "good" pr they say ;) haha

shizzzz

i want to see that

lady gaga

im beginning to love her.  i love the video, especially when she's on fire.  i also think its the best ive seen her look.

 

that larry king clip, the way the holds the book up to the camera made me want to vomit.  from what ive seen on the internet she's been hawking her tat around everywhere. the ooberman clip really made me laugh.  and on the view when they said all of the scandal was the best thing ever to happen to her and she agreed.

 

michael lohan is such a douche id rather not even talk about him, i mean so is carrie prejean but atleast we can laugh at her

MissPussyKatz's picture

I agree about Gaga...She

I agree about Gaga...She doesn't usually look all that pretty but I think she looks way better in this video, especially at the end...But I think its probably all down to her make-up

Lady Gaga

So I just watched this video and I have no idea what it’s about either... I mean it’s intriguing but at the same time I think it gratuitous. It’s pretty awesome how unique and weird it is.  

I dig it. I just don’t get it

GaGa

 Not a fan of her music, really but strangely I love her videos - or the performance on VMA's. I absolutely adore this video, it's so weird, it's good... :o))

+++libraries gave us power+++

Lady Gaga

Bad romance seems to me like a mix between Panth laberynth and Michaels Jackson Triller hahahaha.

About LiLo just Sad, reallly really sad, porr girl.

Carrie, Nothing sorprises me about her anymore

Suzzie's picture

Agreed

I just saw your comment, completly agree with the 'Thriller' thing!
uttercrap...'s picture

Lady GaGa

i adore this woman. just when you think she's done the best thing she could possibly do. she manages to top it. she is just pure genius. LOVELOVELOVE.
 
 
Suzzie's picture

Lady Gaga...again

I watched the video, and I agree with everyone else, no freaking idea what its about, but the dancing when she in the others reminded me of 'Thriller' by Micheal Jackson and the groups of dancers had a definate 'West Side Story' feel, at lest to me, but no clue as to what the actual video is about! haha I don't know if I like it yet, but I'm sure with a few more watches/listens I'll have it as a guilty pleasure along with a lot of her first album haha

As for Lindsay Lohan, I am fairly neutral about her, but what her dad did was horrible! I didn't know this happened before this vlog (cos I am that outta the loop haha) but that is disgraceful! She might not be so messed up if her dad (at lest) wasn't so screwy!! I can't believe that! Not cool!

Gaga

I saw the "Bad Romance" video the other day and I love love love Lady Gaga and her music its soo damn catchy... Her videos are always soo strange and weird but do you really expect anything less from her? I don't really understand what the video is about but I can't stop watching it. Its just soo different that it makes it so entertaining to watch. She is an amazing artist and performer and not to  mention I think she's beautiful and extremely talented. Can't wait to see her in concert in January!!

 

I'm not the biggest LiLo fan but thats really messed up for her own Dad to do that to her I feel terrible for her thats like the ultimate low blow

strict machine's picture

so so catchy

i have that song in my head right now and it wont leave.  oh you lucky thing seing her in concert.  squeeeeee!

RR?

Carrie scares the crap out of me. She's always smiling and it makes me think of Chucky. It's a doll and yet it kills.... I feel that she's just gonna get a butcher knife and cut the shit out of someone all while smiling. Those people scare the hell out of me.

I've always felt bad for Lindsey. There's so much pressure on her and now that you see what kind of parents she has it kinda makes sense that she's been doing what she's been doing. I just wanna hug her and somehow help her. I feel bad that she's going through stuff like that. What her dad has done is way beyond horrible. A parent should be the one person you should be able to trust with your life, they should never do something like that. They're supposed to take away your hurt, not create more of it.

I like Lady Gaga's video, but then again, I also like Marlyn Manson's "Coma White" video. 

Anonymous's picture

i thought the same thing

Lmaoo I totally can see Carrie as the Chucky doll, we should be afraid very afraid (insert evil laugh here)

It made sense in my head...i plead temporary insanity.

PlayingWithFire's picture

I don't

Pfft, I don't plead temporary nor permanent insanity. CP is a wack job.

first off i think you are

first off i think you are hilarious!  

and with lady gaga, the video is just so interesting and weird that i love it.  it makes me want to know what the hell goes through her mind!

lady gaga

Seriously, Lady Gaga, Never had a clue what she was thinking. She has good music.. but her style. ? Come on, can you say weird?
Sorry to all the fans. I like her music but just don't get de person.

anyways... about the rest of the video. I think Lindsay's dad should not even be qualified as a ''dad''.

Have a great week

Gaga Vs. Manson

Gaga is a glam pop singer, just like Marilyn Manson who is a glam rock singer. You were right by comparing these two, each uses glam performance adjusted to his own musical genre, their purpose is to be noticed and to make you wonder. From your response Gaga did a pretty good job. Go Gaga! :)

Shiranova's picture

Oh, one more thing

Speaking of weird videos..Aqua's new video is beautiful but kind of answers this definition :)

And the weirdest music video ever made in Israel (and maybe the world  - watch from 2:13)

That's all for today :)

JUST LOVED THE IMAGERY

I love the Lady Gaga video. I guess the only thing I got out of it though was, that she was bought and sold to the man and then she set him ablaze.
MissPussyKatz's picture

Lady Gaga

I just found myself slowly backing away from my computer with my hand over my mouth whilst I watched that video...I kind of like it though, it's clearly a piss take of her "Romance" with fame because I swear at one point she pulled up her skirt and nearly flashed which instantly reminded me of the recent rumours and of course the ending (When I found my self literally shouting "Whoa! Jesus Christ")...This video has kinda made me respect her more...I have never been a big fan of Gaga till more recently

But my god was that a weird video...I kind of want to watch it again its gross and yet fascinating...The person who created that video is a genius =P

It's basically set in the future in a russian bathhouse where the gangsters are bidding on Lady Gaga.

gaga

Lady gaga is just great..she knows that in order to stick around she has to be outrageous. i love her. her music is great, her wardrobe is interesting and keeps people talking and thats what she wants. she knows how to put on a show for sure.

Im with ya

Ok, so this if my first response to Really?! Really!? The first one i got to see was last weeks. Brillant btw. If I get time, ill comment on that one. I am so behind, so ive missed a lot of the Carrie comments but yea, totally freaky. I am guessing she just sat there because whoever she was talking to suggested she take off the mic and do that? Supposedly, after the break, she put back on the mic. She said that it was agreed she wouldnt take any questions from callers. Hummmmmmm. Her whole demeanor is just freaky to me (apart from the fact that I am just tired of seeing her in the news). The more visibility she gets in the public eye, the more she is attached to situations and behaviors that are getting her into trouble. Ok, ive seen this Lady Gaga clip A LOT. I didnt know what to think of the video (so much so I had to go look at all her other video clips just to see how much it deviated from them). I am so with you in that, the video gets in your head! I know there is a transformation going on in the beginning of the video but seriously, what the heck is up with the fingers?! I dont understand that one.
youngbridge's picture

as far as i'm concerned,

as far as i'm concerned, being disturbed and intrigued by a music video at the same time means it's a pretty good music video. 
sarah's picture

lady gaga vid i was.nt sure

lady gaga vid i was.nt sure about it love her music tho. i'm genrally not 1 4 music vids so very few hold my attention, however hers did because it so strange but in a good way. As for lindsay's dad well he needs some lessons on how to be a good parent, there are plenty of other ways, to shock lindsay into getting help other then publicly betraying her. At the end of the day if she can't trust her parents who can she trust.

Have a wondrful week

eqality for all not much to ask for !!

Hot??? WTF?!

The only logical response to someone considering that ugly copy of a barbie doll "hot" is:

Really?! REALLY?!?


P.S. That video is hilarious! A gag order, hahaha...

Diotima's picture

"Imagine if Stanley Kubrick

"Imagine if Stanley Kubrick made a music video. It would be Bad Romance".

I agree, good observation:).

DocCovington's picture

bad, just bad

Bad romance, bad video

Lady Gaga's music is a cheap copy of Euro techno trash. I like her songs when she performs them acoustic, and I don't get why they have to transform that beautiful music into electronic trash, seriously.

I guess her videos try to live up to her stage name ... they really are gaga. ;)

 

P.S. Stanley Kubrick's symbolism at least makes sense (even if you don't like his style). I can't say the same about LG's videos.

Why did Carrie Prejean

Why did Carrie Prejean attend Larry King's show if she won't answer any question in the interview? I guess she's being so miffed recently. You see, there's a literary tradition dating back over 3,000 years, called satire –where a public figure, having labored to become a public figure, gets mocked for anything and everything.  How it works is that if you become a public figure, you're a target, period, and complaining about the side effects of what you worked so hard for is being childish.  So when she went on Larry King to whine about her image and coverage, sympathy is a hard ask.  Honestly, who among us wouldn't look into putting money, even if it means payday lending, to get Carrie Prejean blocked from the airwaves from now on?
