Although Survivor producer Mark Burnettis making the rounds around town with a pitch for a Sarah Palin reality show, it sounds so boring!
"It's being in and experiencing the great charm and beauty of Alaska with Sarah Palin," says Burnett.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
"What it's not is a reality show following her around, getting up in the morning, or [about] her family and all the salacious stuff," promises the reality TV giant.
We're pretty stunned. Especially because we may have been fooled by it.
Writer and activist Micheal Stinson, who apparently hates Sarah Palin more than we do, flew to El Lay with his wife to be in the audience during the newly re-Leno'd Tonight Show, which featured the Alaskan trainwreck as a guest on its second night.
Now Stinson has come forward with some SHOCKING allegations against NBC and the talk show, claiming they manipulated Sexy Sarah's interview by dubbing laugh tracks over to make her appear funny and well-received, when apparently she got nothing but awkward silence her ENTIRE segment.
You can read the full article here, but it's a little lengthy, so here are some highlights:
But when Jay brought out Sarah Palin, she was completely nerved. Watch the video, check out her breathing, she's freaked and talks a mile a minute. Both my wife and I agreed - when you actually get close enough, she's just plain creepy, and those yech vibes filled the room.
And while NBC Sold Palin, she sold her body, jiggling, teasing, pushing the cutesy-pie, what we used to call in the military, a "prick tease." She short circuits brains, deflects the fact that most of what she says is nonsense or hateful, as lizard layers of right wing men's brains hum a sexual fantasy tune, and women who have thrown all sense of propriety to the wind, watching her strip, want to be just like her. Rich. Stupid. The sweet "Bite Me" bitch attitude she's honed to an art form. No, she doesn't just "wink" - she uses her whole body to sell the package. Turn off the sound, just watch her body language. I find it whorish, repulsive, and I'm no prude.
They added laughter where there was none during uncomfortable portions. Well, there was some laughter. Mine, of derision. During those pregnant pauses in her performance I was laughing long and loud, couldn't help myself as much of what she was saying was utterly surreal, ridiculous, hypocritical - nonsense, spewed platitudes, pushed buttons. I was seriously thinking of leaving as it was getting hysterically unfunny.
After sitting through the taping of the show in the studio I can recount many portions where there was little or no laughter or response, but at the later broadcast they are smoothed over with applause and laughter that WERE NOT THERE at the taping. Groans, hoots, grumbling, or just dead silence - all missing.
They should bear some responsibilty for hawking a defective product. This is corporate shilling in the worst way, not only to raise Leno's ratings, but to push Palin on a crowd with fake laughter and applause. The applause sign is one thing, an American institution. But INSERTING Laughter for Sarah Palin? Try to realize that while you may be laughing at the things she says, because she's a train wreck, the corporate powers that be are ADJUSTING the laughter so it appears APPROPRIATE. I worked in a mental institution. The very basic definition of insanity is "inappropriate laughter" WHO decides what's "appropriate?" Apparently, corporations. Not you. The Tonight Show is a lie, more than ever a corporate shill that's performing a cultural engineering service. Selling garbage, that is literally ruinous to our nation and women's rights.
While this dude clearly has a serious agenda against Palin, if he's being 100% truthful, this is seriously effed up and despicable.
Once again, this proves that Jay Leno has no problem being a complete DOUCHE and throwing whatever is in his way - whether it be what's left of his integrity or a certain unnamed ginge - under one of his 745 cars to get more publicity and money.
Hopefully audiences at home will see the segment and establish on their own what an effing hateful psychopath Palin is, but to deliberately attempt to manipulate viewer's opinions through laugh tracks - gross.
Shame on you, NBC.
What do U think? Was anybody else there who can vouche for or deny this report??
You just can’t invite some people anywhere! Sarah Palin took a day off from shopping her proposed network reality show around Tinseltown to stock up on free swag at an Oscar suite this week.
You Betcha!
On Wednesday, the controversial politician and an entourage of nearly two dozen cohorts — including nannies, assistants, and security personnel — descended on an Oscar gifting suite benefiting the Red Cross and snatched up freebies until their arms nearly gave way. That’s not very conservative of you, Sarah! Pascal Mouawad baubles, Skagen watches, United Hair Care products, and Bloom beauty products were among the items Palin and Co. carted off before making a dash, say spywitnesses, who watched in awe as the group cleaned out the joint.
Palin’s 16-year-old daughter, Willow, had her ‘do done by one of Jennifer Aniston’s hairstylists, and a Hollywood Life spy claims Palin took as many as 40 pairs of headphones!
“They were like locusts,” a staffer at the Silver Spoon’s Swag Lounge snickered toE! News. “She showed up with like 20 people, and they immediately swarmed the place taking everything!”
The Los Angeles Times says Palin made a $1,700 donation to the Red Cross following her freebie frenzy and many hawk some of the items she grabbed in an upcoming charity auction.
Not only is former Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin shopping a new reality series — she’s writing another book!
The still-untitled book is described as a “celebration of American virtues and strengths,” publisher HarperCollins announced on Thursday. It will feature selections of readings and portraits of people who have inspired the ex-Alaskan governor.
“She will also draw from her personal experience to amplify these timely (and timeless) themes.”
Palin’s memoir, Going Rogue, has sold more than 2.2 million copies since its release in November.
Reality television has hit a new low - former Vice Presidential candidate and the nation's political pinata, Sarah Palin, is producing a reality series.
We've lost faith in the genre as of now.
Sexy Sarah has apparently been taking meetings with Mark Burnett, the brain that has spewed out such classics as Survivor and The Apprentice, so that the two can pitch a TV docudrama about Alaska. An insider is calling the project a “planet-Earth type look” at the former Governor's home state. They had a meeting with CBS earlier in the week and today, she'll be stopping by NBC Universal.
Producers of Hollywood, do us a favor - Please don't indulge this woman!
First of all, the only interesting thing that ever came out of Alaska is Sarah Palin. And by interesting, we mean worthy of mockery. And second, you are talking about a woman who tried to patrol the goings-on in Russia from her kitchen window. You think she has any kind of smarts to run a TV show. We know it doesn't take much, but we still don't think she can cut it.
Sarah Palin takes her 15-year-old daughter Willow and grandson Tripp to pick up some swag at the Silver Spoon Oscar Suite at Interior Illusions in West Hollywood on Wednesday (March 3).
The mother-daughter pair picked up Unite Health Care products, jewelry from Pascal Mouawad, watches from Skagen, bottles of TY KU Soju and product from Lash Food. They also received a blow-out by colorist Erick Orellana from the Chris McMillan Salon.
The Silver Spoon Suite benefited Red Cross Haitian Relief Efforts. The Palins donated $1,750 to the Red Cross and left with bags full of swag.
FYI: Sarah and reality show producer Mark Burnett are currently pitching a TV docudrama about Alaska.
10+ pictures inside of Sarah Palin silver spooning Oscar…
Sarah Palin and producer Mark Burnett have been making the rounds in Hollywood this week pitching a TV docudrama about Alaska. Joined by Burnett (whose resume boasts small screen smashes like Survivor and Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?), the former Alaska governor is shopping a pilot for a “Planet Earth” reality series to all four major TV networks (FOX, ABC, NBC, CBS), Entertainment Weekly’s industry sources squealed this evening.
“There’s an awful lot of interest in her,” one executive said. “As a short-order series, it might work. It would depend on what kind of footage you get.”
Would you watch a reality show starring Sarah Palin?
Former Republican vice presidential nominee turned into a stand-up comic on Jay Leno’s Tonight Show Tuesday, dropping one-liners about the White House, Congress, and actress/comedienne Tina Fey.
