In the present Washington City Paper, which is the local free rag that publishes Cecil’s column, there’s an ad on the back page for Bette Midler’s new album (I’ve forgotten the name).
It mentions that she’s the star of a new CBS comedy, a fact that I don’t question. But, it also promotes her as “ultrasexy.”
Huh?
I’ll believe that someone thinks she’s attractive, and even sexy. But, ultrasexy?
IMHO she ranks right down there with Barbra Streisand. As for her singing tallents, I’d much rather listen to Bette than Barbra any day. Not that I’d want to listen to either one of them any day. But if Bette came on singing on TV while I was in the kitchen preparing a snack I would not attempt to claw my way through the wall to pull out the power cord like I would in the case of Barbra. Christ, that Streisand woman can bore the wallpaper off the wall with her singing.
Amen! Streisand should be locked up in an echo chamber and forced to listen to all of her crappy CDs for all of eternity! (Gee, is it that obvious that I don’t like her?)
