Could Someone Please Euthanize Natalie Bassingthwaighte
May 3rd 2009 07:07
I have had enough of her and want to scream!
This photo came with the tagline - This Woman is a Tart.
This woman has become what I have been calling the biggest media whore in Australian history and a total ditz! I loved her as the slut Izzy on Neighbours - I cringed when she did the Neighbours becomes pop star thing but never really got exposed to it so I was peachy. I even defended her and her stupid nose and haircuts on the first season of So You Think You Can Dance when all my friends would text me about how much of a cow they thought she was but this year she steps into a feature film while juggling the rest and I have never seen anything go to someone's head so quickly.
This year I started noting how she couldn't explain her joy at watching the dancer's compete - "It's awesome...................... ...no really it's awesome" - MY GOD - could they not even script her responses to save us the welling anger at disapproval of watching her. And then there is Rove appearances that threw me over the edge - the first one was when the stars of the Watchmen, Malin Ackerman and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, appeared. This was a few days after I got to interview them and while I had the most fun anyone could have with the two stars - when Rove interviewed them she kept butting in from the couch and stealing all their air time and giggling and saying more ludicrous things than Paris Hilton on a good day.
Then low and behold she appears on Rove after the So You Think You Can Dance finale and is giggling and being more stupid than you can fathom that she appeared to be drugged off her head on cocaine. This time Carrie Bickmore was asking her questions and Nat was going all coy and trying to be funny - you could even see Carrie appear frustrated and then slowed her speach down like she was speaking to a 5yr old. To make matters worse she then managed to unwittingly ruin Gretal Kellein's (I think that is spealt wrong) following interview. While I can't actually blame her for this - one sound guy (who is probably now unemployed) left her mike on when she went off stage. This then ended up bring broadcast over most of Gretal's interview - and of course she, very attractively, dropped the f bomb a few times. Fortunately we missed out on hearing it thanks to the delay but everyone in the audience got the joy of Nat talking even more.
Please someone - save us!!! And while we are on it - SHORTEN THAT STUPID SURNAME.
Note: Jason is very against all forms of tall poppy syndrome and this in no way indicates tall poppy - this is pure over it, I could strangle her, dislike.
It should also be noted that she is probably a lovely person but this is what I feel having to watch her on TV every week - even during writing this article I heard her name mentioned twice on TV - I cannot escape her.

TWPY - I know - but no one has made this angry just by watching them and so I got it out of the system by writing my piece. Yay me

I read somewhere that she said she is even sick of seeing herself but then again she created the monster she has become. I can't say I'm a fan of her work itself. I don't watch neighbours so I have no idea what her acting is like and I am not a fan of her musical style, it's just not my thing but...she was a singer before she got into acting. She did a lot of musical theatre and was Sandy in Grease many moons ago and was in Rent just to name a couple.
I think she is a shocking host. She just doesn't have the right personality or the ability to speak off the cuff at all.
She is a friend of a friend of mine who assures me she is an incredibly sweet person who he has a lot of respect for and says in the real world she has a great sense of humour but he is even starting to cringe now that she is so over-exposed and they are friends! We talked about it just the other day saying, good for her but hope that she's not actually going to kill her career completely by wearing so many hats that she won't be taken seriously in any genre. She needs to find the thing she is best at (which is most likely musical theatre) and stick with it. If she is really good her star will continue to shine. At the moment I think she is close to going Super Nova and fizzling completely.

Morgan - you just can't get that high on life or keep that schedule. Hell if I was her - I would eat the stuff like candy Haha
CJ - I have some PM's to respond to you and MNG - I am so sorry for being such a lazy person on this weekend - I entered a zone of getting my film reviews done then it was my time. It has been so hectic latley but I am so digressing.
Nat left Neighbors ages ago to pursue the pop thing - I don't follow her music but occasionally hear it playing. I think you expressed my thoughts way more "PC" than me - if you had wrote the article you wouldn't have some fan of Nat's wanting me to drop dead
I am sorry you have mutual friends and hope I am not being too mean but your last sentence says it all and the Oz public are way less forgiving than I am.
Thanks for commenting ladies - even you Anonymous, even though you want me dead.
