The Lisa Fernandes Reputation Rehabilitation Tour Continues on “The View”



What the hell happened to Stephen Asprinio? He still suffers from logorrhea and pretentiousness (which it would be hypocritical for us to mock), but he is no longer bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. He is hunched, humbled, and those glasses diminish him. On the other hand, he’d be right at home on a crappy season of The L Word.

Apropos of which, why, oh why, does Whoopi Goldberg set our gaydar off so strongly? And that dance she did when she tasted Lisa Fernandes’ food, and Lisa’s offer of a private lesson—are we delusional following a few all-nighters for work, or was there something, some chemistry, some flirting there? Now Lisa was very bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, and she got an on-the-record apology of sorts from Padma for the show’s portrayal of her as anything less than “very, very nice.” That’s quite the coup.

As for Spike “Asshat” Mendelsohn, time has not withered him, nor custom varied his infinite staleness. Every time we watch him on television, our eyeballs feel like they’ve caught an STD.

Pussycats, you shouldn't dismiss so quickly the possibility that your eyeballs did catch an STD.

Damn, what was with Padma on that clip? She seemed a bit buzzed. And I completely agree about Spike. Can he just please vanish from our TV sets forever?

And Padma is a food expert? Did you hear her ask Stephen "Is that chicken or bread?" She was shoveling that food in so fast I was afraid she would stab someone with her fork.

Spike just wants his 15 minutes...it's not going to come any other way besides milking the TC gravy train.

His restaurant will fade into mediocrity as will he.
