J.Lo-Down: Digging Up Dirt on the ‘Young, Sexy, & Spoiled’ (Review)
Linda Stasi - TV Critic
Young, Sexy & Spoiled, a special on WE, is like spending a couple of hours hanging out at The National Enquirer - all gossip, all fun, all about folks so inaccessible they may as well have the “boy in the bubble” disease.
The one-hour special begins with stars who may be really, really, really rich, but are no longer really, really, really young like J.Lo and P.Diddy, (and whoever they were before they got so rich that they decided to give themselves street-cred by changing their names).
From there it goes on to the still very young and still incredibly rich, and legitimately royal - like the sons and daughters of Princess Caroline. Her kids look and act like rock stars although they’ve never had to bother to perform at anything.
My favorite segments are the ones with Andrew Goldberg of TheSmokingGun.com. He’s got dish enough for a gossip banquet. And it’s all backed up by cold, (so cold) hard, facts.
Like the fact that P. Diddy gave a party after the MTV Video Awards and the invitation required women to be waxed and men to be clean-shaven.
J.Lo reportedly requires her dressing room to be all white with white flowers, and for her minions to spray white gardenia fragrance in her path before her so she doesn’t have to smell anything unpleasant. Yes, she’s still Jenny from the block - except the block is now Rodeo Drive.
There’s lots of filthy good dish about awful young royals around the world which I really enjoyed. It always amazes me that one cannot be royal and have cellulite.
Mostly these Euro royal trash sit around snorting coke, getting drunk and getting modeling gigs. Their parents must be so proud. But then again, that’s what they did before they got down off the yachts for five minutes, had kids, and bought clothes that covered their royal private parts.
Meantime, the poor schmos in their countries support their decadent lifestyles. Then there’s Prince Harry who is the spitting image of his father. Yes. His father.
Young, Sexy, & Spoiled is a hoot and a half - especially if you’re curled up in bed with a cup of Rocky Road and a diet soda. Heaven.
