TV Squad Daily with Brigitte - VIDEO

Brigitte's eyes are not fake.

I'm not calling for the immediate demise of Penrod. I'm not even seeking piedom for the ovoid one.

Ignore this fork and can of Reddi-wip(r)...I, I always carry a fork and Reddi-wip(r)...even when there isn't the slightest chance of a pumpkin transmogrification...really, ask anyone...I'm Penrod's biggest fan...I would never...

Wasn't that picture of Stephen Baldwin? He's not the addict Baldwin but rather the "I've-found-Jesus" Baldwin, right?

I am noticing a change in the TVSquad blog layout, yes?

Ok, I do not wear panties, so don't get all bunched up. :P

Fed-Up with KFed. Or "How I duped some beeyatches, knocked em all up, got dem to pickup da tab, got press and now I'm yo yo IceyHotStudza. Don't hate da playah!" Oh how many men must be like, yo, you gots not only Brittany speared, you got your face on some magazines (instead of Nintendo High Score...see Joystiq blog).

I do not share the pumpkin assassination comments the others do, Brigitte. The pumpkin should stay as the Strike representative. However, if the strike ends, I am sure your choice of Penrod's next assignment will be wise. If not yummy. :P

The end of reality shows: rehab. How about celebrities retired? Celebrities on skid row? meh. I'd rather not. I'm sure it will be a draw. I mean, we ALL want to know jsut what really goes on behind closed rehab doors...wait, do I have to sign a HPAA release to watch?

Good show there Brigitte! Like the little split screen twist at the end. Again, you gotta work on your sound. The levels are not consistent. I hate compression too. Like watching a youtube vid...wasting my 20/10...whaawhaaa whaaaaaa.

... w/r/t Celebrity Rehab:
What a motley group of wasted has-beens. This mix of celebs has all the potential of the bottom of a dumpster dive. It should make for pretty entertaining low-brow viewing pleasure. I predict lots of wallowing in seemingly sincere, self-pity.

Thank goodness Dr. Drew is at the helm. As great as he is though, I reserve much doubt that anyone can be of help if all he can do is "counsel." * The three celebs mentioned are notorious, self-serving, career addicts. They need more than just counseling. It'll be fun to watch 'em in action - not gonna need any writers for this show.

I never noticed that Brigitte shares the same given name as Sly Stallone's one-time flame. Whoa, that is one scary association! I don't know if I'll ever see that name in the same light after this disturbing realization. I can't even... type it now.

According to a recently published bio** of Arnold Schwarzenegger, written by a Kennedy biographer no less, B. Nielson had fallen in love with Arnie, and he redirected her unwanted affection by introducing her to Stallone. Politically savvy, even way back when.

Hopefully, continued viewing of TVSD will restore the good name of B------- back to its well-deserved good graces.

If, by chance, Miss Dale has given any thought to attending the upcoming Boston meet-up (for TV Squad writers and readers), I'd advise against it based on the ebullient comments for today's episode alone. I recommend checking out the first post on this matter*** for further reading where it's clear I do not stand alone in my rec.

Imagine that scenario... Steven talking to our Brig about tea and memes, and good ole Murph discussing the whereabouts of Patrick. Probably need a episode of TVSD Rehab after that.

Look at some of the more closeup shots (go 41 seconds into this video). I've never seen eyes that incredibly blue. It's not that I presume all beauty is fake, although one would have to search long and hard to find someone more misanthropic than myself. I just think her eyes can't look like that without contacts or editing, or maybe it's some fluke about the lighting combined with the particular camera. If they are real and look like that in real life, I'll be the first to say Brigitte has some of the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen.

I wouldn't be surprised if those big, round, beautiful things are real.

Wait, are we talking about Brigitte's eyes?

There's a more expedient, less costly alternative to video editing and tinted contacts: Maybe, just maybe, Brigitte's eyes really ARE that blue! O ye of little faith!

Okay... so you drew a face on him and it's really hard to say good-bye. You said it so cute that I'm just not going to press the issue anymore. When you go to pick him up and his underbelly begins to give way, and he begins to fall apart and exhibit the consistency of large curd cottage cheese between your fingers, you'll think back on my comments and (being the smart young lady that you are) you'll reason that I was probably right.

Pumpkins can remain deceivingly orange and beautiful on the outside, while on the inside, they are increasingly filled with rotting mush... but what the hey... go ahead... long live Penrod!

As a sidebar, I'm selling official Penrod nasal-friendly clothespins.

Nowadays it's second nature to assume things are edited, it's not like it would be hard to change someone's eye color in a video. It's not like you need ILM and a million dollar budget to do "special effects" (I wouldn't even consider changing eye color a special effect).

I assumed video editing even before I thought of the more obvious and likely use of colored contacts. I'd like to know which it is, though, just out of curiosity.

I do think it is pretty amusing that Bruce imagines anyone could or would edit the eye color in cheap digital video (maybe I am being ignorant). But the pumpkin turning blue would be the dead give-away.
