Simon, I am talking to YOU. And I'm dealing with my rage by blogging rather than, I dunno, drinking heavily, as I otherwise might.
"The criticism is meant to be constructive"??? HORSE MANURE.
What is constructive about loudly wishing this were the Oscars and people could be cut off by music? Poor dumb Jason was answering an inane question posed to him by Ryan, on national TV. He's supposed to say, "Sorry, Ryan, I don't want to bore Simon"? Really?
Simon's job is to be outrageously rude. This gets people to watch his show, which gets people to watch the commercials that are paying for his show. PERIOD.
He is a very smart man and often has an astute take on things, but would we tune in to hear him express himself nicely? If he actually did provide constructive criticism, would this show be such a monster hit? I think not.
And the thing is—up until this year, I thought he knew that. But this year, he's taking himself WAY too seriously, and it is so not fun to watch.
Sometimes Simon is smart and funny, but more and more he is simply an ass. And—enough already.
Lady Chardonnay OUT.

Amen sister!
Oh! Thanks for the non-smoking encouragement! I wasn't sure I wanted to quit when I did but I'm so glad I did! I took Chantix and it worked really good for me but not for my husband. He's still smoking. He's trying something else next month. I actually caught myself searching my pockets for cigs the other day!! I guess I'll always miss them.
Simon is always right.
