There is an idea that exists, not just in entertainment news media but in the entire world, that when two women are both successful for the same kind of thing, those two women are bitchy rivals who hate each other. I’m sure you’re very well aware of this idea. (Luckily Gabe is not a woman or I’m sure there would be LOTS of behind-the-scenes rivalry rumors on every blog and in every newspaper about how she is bitter that she has to share the stage with an up-and-comer, with headlines like “SHOCKING: Gabey Doesn’t Even Read Kelly’s Posts!”) (Gabey is the female version of Gabe.) For example, yesterday I was watching this video interview with Amy Poehler from 2009 that I accidentally clicked on — not that it’s really any of your business — and it begins with about five minutes of the interviewer, Tom O’Neil, talking about how Amy Poehler must be so mad at Tina Fey for, like, winning awards? And not giving her awards to Amy Poehler? Basically just trying to get Amy Poehler to say something negative about Tina Fey’s success, while Amy Poehler politely tells him that what he is saying is sexist nonsense based on nothing, and that Tina Fey is her friend, and please be quiet. Which is nearly the only good way to handle incredibly sexist nonsense rivalry questions. But sometimes, like you will see for ten minutes in the following video, celebrity women will play into these nonsense rivalries in a way that is so frustrating and defeating and terrible and I hate it so much. But also I like to watch it as entertainment when it’s in the form of a supercut? I AM A WOMAN AND I HAVE COMPLICATED EMOTIONS, ROLE THE VIDEO.
Ugh, ladies. There isn’t a limited amount of songs that people can sing and fans that they can have and money they can make! You can all sing, have, and make all of it! And you do! Even though you all happen to be women! PLEASE STOP PRETEND FIGHTING! YOU’RE ALREADY FAMOUS! (Via Funtastik/FourFour.)
PS: I used to read your blog posts when I was a child and NOW I HATE YOU, GABEY!

DIVA-OFF!
As everybody knows, if you go into a record store and are holding two CDs by two different female singers, the CDs get electrified and shock your hands alternately until you are forced to drop one of them. This is to insure that nobody is ever able to simultaneously listen to and consider each artist’s work as their own.
Also all CD racks are made with one spot marked “Woman” and you can only put one CD in that slot at a time, so if you ever by a new CD by a female artist you have to burn whatever CD was there before it.
Also everyone still listens to CDs exclusively, right? Like we all have racks all over our houses that we obsessively arrange and rearrange, except for the one marked “Woman” because there’s only one spot for that and it’s enshrined in diamonds and tampons? I just want to make sure we’re all on the same page here.
that headline made me think of the song “people are people” so why cant it be, etc
Depeche Mode is better than everyone in this video.
I thought it was going to be porn. Then I saw the picture, and thought, “wait, is there a new X-Men?” Either way, pretty disappointed.
I hear Kelly’s trailer is three times larger than Gabey’s, and Gabey isn’t allowed inside.
Have you seen the list of riders on Gabey’s contract? I hear every time she goes to a new city they have to have a World’s Most Expensive Chocolate Pudding waiting for her. I heard she made the interns’ lives a living hell. I’m glad Kelly’s here now to put Gabey in her place.
I read that on Gabey’s rider, she has to have a peanut mix in a crystal goblet on an ice table. AND ALL THE PEANUTS IN THE MIX HAVE TO BE TAKEN OUT BY HAND. Those poor interns!
Gabey was great in Precious though
Gabey’s just waiting for that one perfect trampoline accident that’ll put her back on top.
How is this sort of bitchiness going to end gender inequality in the entertainment business ? Women need to air their grievances out in the open, possibly in a mud pit, while wearing bikinis.
That’s not true. They need to pose half naked in a men’s magazine IRONICALLY to prove that they’re funny.
I also have an ongoing feud with Mariah Carrey, but no one ever bothers to ask me about it.
“I don’t think about Zayin_451. I don’t think I even know who that is?” -Mariah Carey
“Oooooooooooooh!” -audience
Britney Spears sure is bandying about that “retard” bomb.
BREAKING NEWS: Britney Spears thinks lots of things are retarded.
I really liked Kelly’s comment on the role women play in society when she said “… ROLE THE VIDEO” although I would like to point out the typo in leaving out the hyphen.
