I don't watch pageants of any sort, it's just not my thing. Not so long ago I watched a documentary called "Painted Babies" about childrens pageants and let me just say this, it was VILE what they did to those little girls.
Heather Mills might be qualified to judge a limp dick contest. As for pagents, never cared one way or the other. Adults can do as they choose. I do not agree with pagents for children because the parents are sick, sick, sick for the most part.
I am with both Leighann and Lu on this child pagent thing... After jon Benet Ramsey was killed I learned about the sickening world of child pagents... what a screwed up deal that is
I think it is a wonderful idea to have Heather Mills host the Miss USA pageant! In fact lets take it a step further. If one of the contestants fouls up, which they usually do often, Heather will take off her leg and throw it at them and yell 'Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!'. Or how about you place a huge metal symbol behind her and she can bang it will her appendage when things go wrong ala The Gong Show. huh? huh? good ideas? Too over the top? Ok maybe the leg thingy is in bad taste. She can instead just throw a glass of of water at them. Espicially if one of them sings 'Just Another Silly Love Song'.
Vin, if you think that is innapropriate you should have seen the comment I made first before I deleted it for being classless. Yeah I had to censor myself.
I didn't even realize they were still holding Ms. America. Which one did they get rid of? Anyway, I am not a pageant person. I have not moral opposition to them - I just think they are ultra-boring and I'd rather watch a baseball game or go out drinking with my friends.
We better be careful... Heather is liable to try and sue us...and then dump a glass of water on us in court if she isn't geting her way... (did ya'll hear about that?)
That chick is unstable... and I don't just mean wobbly on her leg.
Classless?? Who me? I was going to call her Ahad as she walks with a pirate leg and she was trying to harpoon the whale of Paul McCartney's assets. Now THAT would have been classless.
It's a perfect gig for her - since all the contestants these days seem to be sobbing about their problems with drinking, and drug addictions. They can all whine together.
Shane Minoaka Stant (born 15 April 1971) is an American convict. He was hired by Tonya Harding's ex-husband Jeff Gillooly and friend Shawn Eckhardt to assault Nancy Kerrigan in the weeks before the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway.
On January 6, 1994, Kerrigan had finished a practice session at Cobo Arena in Detroit during the U.S. Figure Skating Championships. When she stopped to talk to a news reporter, Stant crouched down, struck her on the knee with a retractable metal baton, and ran away. The exit door was locked, so he escaped by breaking through an acrylic glass door. He jumped into Derrick B. Smith's getaway car. He, along with Shawn Eckhardt and Derrick Smith, were arrested and sentenced to four years in prison. Stant served 14 months before being released.
On December 1, 2005, a judge in Multnomah County, Oregon denied a petition by Stant to have his conviction in the Kerrigan attack expunged. Stant had petitioned to have his record cleared because he wanted to apply for the Navy SEALs, who will not accept anyone with a felony conviction. The petition was odd, as one must be under 28 years of age to qualify for SEAL training, while Stant was 34 at the time of his petition. Kerrigan wrote a letter to the court to oppose the petition because she felt it could send a message that a crime like Stant's could be "swept under the rug".
Jeff Gilooly changed his name to Jeff Stone a few years ago and got sued by some guy whose real name is Jeff Stone for defemation of the name Stone... (True Story)

Ha! He picked the wrong name.. he doesn't have stones.
If you have a chance to get to see a preliminary to Miss Illinois or any other pageant it is clear that these girls are very talented and intelligent. Many of them win scholarships to college and get masters (ex. miss Illinois won $50k for college) There are parents or people that ten dot go very overboard with it too! I would have to say that she would be very experienced as a judge.
Wow! Who would have thought there'd be so much banter about this. I'm amused that the only men chiming in are Doc and TMC. Come on guys...don't you have any opinions?
I wish I had been at my computer this afternoon to reply to comments earlier but alas, my job required me to be elsewhere. I've enjoyed reading it all though.
Personally, I don't agree with child pageants but I'm all for the adult (or mostly adult) version. As runningwildkids said: they are very smart and get great scholarships. Plus they get to speak on behalf of many charities.
Running Wild w/youguns - Welcome... I agree that the contestants work hard in these pagents it's their choice of judges that I question... (and occasionally the contestents like Miss Teen SC last year... "umm Like The Iraq such as and so forth" )

Doc: I have a post I am working on Called you had me at hello!!! GMTA?
Anyway Doc and Mt Cat, Forgive me! But I cannot stand that Biotch!
She needs to just hide out and never be seen ever again.. I should not have this much Hate in my heart but she just a nasty lil Biotch!! Okay back to being Innocent!
Anndi - If Heather is using that leg to her advantage she should get an endorsement contract with a pesticide company. I can see it now: "I use Raid defogger to keep the termites away"
They have no teeth so if it runs out of termites, she finds other ways to keep it busy. - If I am reading this correctly then this may be the sickest post ever on YJKOBT (Mt. Cat's posts not included)
If Mt. Cat could shove chocolate cake through the internet servers all across the United States would crash due to an overwhelming demand on high-speed services.
Ummmm...I am uncomfortable with you living in Kannapolis, lol!! I keep waiting for someone that knows me or my husband to "out" me...he has no idea that I blog or call him DB behind his back...awkward!

Welcome Miss Mary. Do we know you? It's hard to believe there is someone else from K-town out there. Not that no ones else blogs, just that they would admit to being from Kannapolis!

[Image]Well, everybody's favorite token 'Dancing with the Stars' contestant has scored a new gig! After her recent public and trash-talken divorce from Paul McCartney, Mills will be one of the judges for the Miss USA pageant, on this Fri. [Image] I have to admit...sometimes I am such a girl. I LOVE pageants! I love all the fancy dresses and silly dance routines. I know all the arguments against them: beauty not brains, scantily clad bodies on parade, yada-yada-yada! Who cares! Sometimes a little girl just needs to dream! (And little boys can fantasize)
So, dear readers, give me your thoughts? Is Heather really qualified to judge? Do you think pageants are fair, or silly, or fun, or whatever adjective you choose? -As American as Apple Pie

Of course she's friggin qualified!!!! Pageants are fake and so is her leg!

The guy who whacked Nancy on the leg was Shane Stant... Trust me on this one... Gilooly was just a patsy.

Doc, I read your comment as "Gilooly was just a PASTY"
I was about to start a list of BETTER things to use for pasties!
April 9, 2008 at 1:41 PM
Lookit Mt Cat being all resourceful with Wiki :p
April 9, 2008 at 1:42 PM
I know it was Shane.. but seriously, Gilooly is a far funnier name... plus he has that mustache.
April 9, 2008 at 1:43 PM
I wonder if Heather Mills' dancing partner ever got splinters or "road rash"
April 9, 2008 at 1:44 PM
Leighann, ewww at the thought of Gilooly any where near my boobies...

Maybe Heather could enter her leg in the pagent. I wonder how it would look in a bathing suit and pump.
April 9, 2008 at 1:50 PM
I bet she'd win the knobby-est knee competition!
April 9, 2008 at 1:53 PM
There is no chance the judges would be stumped on that one.

Jeff Gilooly changed his name to Jeff Stone a few years ago and got sued by some guy whose real name is Jeff Stone for defemation of the name Stone... (True Story)

Ok Lu... you got the Diet Pepsi spew award on that one... HOLY CRAP THAT IS FUNNY!!!

Thanks Doc. Sorry about the spewage. Hey her disability could give her a leg up in the competition.

April 9, 2008 at 2:43 PM
Anteaters can eat up to 30,000 termites a day. They have no teeth so if it runs out of termites, she finds other ways to keep it busy.
April 9, 2008 at 2:47 PM
I think it also doubles as a paper shredder.

-Stat counter would keep track of caloric intake instead of page hits
-Cinnabon and Little Debbie would angage in a furious bidding war but Entenmanns would end up pulling a surprise hostile takover
