I'm sure it was inevitable, but... but... I just wasn't ready.

Hahahahahaahahah!

Oh, those girls should NOT be allowed to open their mouths in front of reporters - every time, they sound so stupid.

Oh, Destiny's Child. We hardly knew ye.

wow...I'm not tooo sad though; it didn't seem like they were breaking up indefinitly...

I only saw them once when they were just an opening act. 98' Boyz II Men concert...hehe

I'm sorry, but I'm glad. I'm tired of seeing them caterwaul in their clever little "matching" outfits on every single holiday special, telethon, and awards show produced in the last year. I bet Martha Stewart had to beat them away from her special last night with STICKS. They are not ashamed to sing a song that was played out six months ago or even last year. I feel like every time I turn around I'm being bombarded with Beyonce. Their bald-faced hunger for the spotlight turns me off.

How Kelly compared Destiny's Child to the Beatles? That shit ain't right. And you KNOW that's what Beyonce's daddy tells them, over and over again.

Beyonce will steal Justin Timberlake from Britney Spears in 2002. Mark my words, chitlins.

Britney will recover with her big Playboy centerfold and then Howard Stern will out her on a make-out session with Christina back in their early post-MMC days.

Christina will deny deny deny, and then do a psuedo lesbian scene in her next video. She will promptly disappear from the pop scene and reappear 6 months later in a rehab clinic.

Y'all, I was born for pop culture marketing. Someone. Hire. Me.

Okay, first of all? There was a Martha Stewart special?

And secondly... Aidan, watch your back, girlie.

Well I apologized. But dayam. I'm ready for that jelly... to be GONE.

Yes there was a Martha Christmas special last night! But it was kind of weird. She's taking on these huge hardware projects now -- she blew glass ornaments and hammered out Mexican luminarias. Like you can just do that at home. I mostly watched the InStyle Celebrity Homes special. When I die and go to heaven I will live in the Versace home on Lake Como. *sigh*

The moment last night when Martha leaned down and blew with all her might into the glass pipe as someone urged, "Blow, Martha!" ... I had to push away my dinner.

Beyonce will be our generation's Liza. I'm kind of excited about watching this.

Pamie, it was like a drunken frat party up in the glass-blowing place, that's for sure. She has a long hollow tube in her mouth, surrounded by several men imploring her to "blow, blow!"?? Whoa.

Then when the glass sculpture was complete, she says something like, "Not only is this glass art a beautiful sight, it is also very, very, amazing to look at." And it's pretty too!

-- Anonymous, December 05, 2001

I know. And her face all puffed up and red, looking like she's blowing like she's never blown before. And then when she had to yank the sculpture down with the tongs, and everyone was telling her to pull it gently, but she just kept yanking it, telling them she liked it long. Add that to the Charlotte Church singing and the David Cassidy Mervyn's commercial, I thought I was going to die.

What is funnier than a lesbian blowing glass? I don't know.

Destiny's Child - am I the only one that thinks Kelly is the only talented member of the group?

Who in the hell can tell whatwith Beyonce screamin' and jivin' all the time. I am sure the other two members are very talented, I just haven't ever seen Beyonce be quiet enough to tell.

Also is there a rule written down somewhere that states "Beyonce must always stand in the center and slightly to the front of any other girls who even attempt to act like full-fledged members of Destiny's Child?" Geesh, share the limelight a little!

Am I the only one who doesn't know who Kelly is?

I only know Beyonce...the way her Daddy likes it.

And I totally agree, it should have been called the Beyonce Three, or Beyonce and Her Backup Singers.

I know this isn't the Martha Stewart Christmas Special thread, but I couldn't resist.

Martha and I have a love/hate relationship. I think I've made that pretty clear. Still, I couldn't not watch last night.

But, y'all, I had to mute it and turn on the closed captioning. Martha's voice annoys me like a thong under a pair of hot pants. I wish it weren't so. But, it is.

Hee, PG. Another forum I visit calls it her "Martha-tone."

I read somewhere that she said she was often in the center because it brings more "balance" to the photograph. (Since she's so much lighter than the other 2.) Talk about a spin gone horribly wrong.

Has anyone seen Destiny's Child Revealed on E!? Supposedly they're not breaking up.

Also... from back ground noise:

They showed home videos of Destiny's Child performing in Beyonce's living room when they were nine.  And they looked like the same videos that me and my best friend Laney made when we were eleven, where we'd prop the camcorder on the stairs at an angle and then jump around in front of it doing our personal interpretations of what a Debbie Gibson video should look like.

The difference between Destiny's Child and me and Laney?  For one, my dad wasn't a sick fame-hungry pervert who, after watching the videos we'd made, decided to quit his job as a Xerox salesman, build a deck in the back yard and then invite all the neighborhood ten-year-old girls to spend the summer at a special dance camp under his supervision.

Really, that's the only difference I could come up with.
