Gotta pay your dues in any industry…but especially in hers. However, it seems like the New Bitch doesn’t care for respecting the veterans in her business and so she is making enemies of almost everyone she works with and everything who works with everyone she works with. For such a close knit community, this certainly doesn’t bode well, especially when the freshman glow starts to recede.

But such foresight has escaped her and she’s burning bridges left right and centre, issuing demands normally reserved for bonafide legends in the business and treating the “workers” like they were born to serve her. During a recent tantrum, when she was given some professional advice, and instead of taking the criticism and learning from it, she waved her finger around, humiliating the person trying to help her, and tore him a new asshole: “I don’t need you to tell me what to do. I AM (this business) and I saved it too!” and then of course sulked for an hour and refused to work.

And then there’s the insecurity. The minute another big name female gets brought up, the backstabbing begins. “Oh please… she is so fat next to me, she should just go home” or “Girl is gettin’ OLD! She should stop worrying about what I’m doing – it’s stressin’ her out!”

Now as women…let’s face it… we are ALL catty. But the smart ones do it in a safe environment, with our girls, with those we trust. But the New Bitch’s ego is so out of control, she drops her insults everywhere, all the time, and she thinks she’s above repercussion.

Dead Wrong.

With the exception of her own team – and they’re milking her dry anyway – most people in the industry hate her with a passion. And while they would never intentionally bring her down, they will certainly make her feel unwelcome. So one day when she needs a friend, she may not have anyone to help. Hospitality is not an eternal river.

Jennifer Hudson

I like the Jennifer Hudson guess, but the only thing that makes me second guess it is the "She's so fat next to me" comment since she isn't particularly slender....

omigoodness, Grey's guess is a such good one and now I can't think of anyone else.

She recently did an event with Patti LaBelle and they performed an "impromptu duet", which was probably staged beforehand. There were rumors that she was a rude bitch to the legendary Ms. LaBelle, so this comment could have come from that. If that's true, if I ever see JHud I will bitchslap her myself.

Ok, that works with Patti LaBelle! You rock at blinds!

Lohan?

hotncmom · April 11th, 2007, 04:21 PM

Why would JH say "I am (this business) and I saved it too!"? That doesn't even make any sense given that she's just starting out and she's hardly "saving" anything.

What about Carrie Underwood? Is she "saving" country music? Seems like she's the first crossover artist in years (since Shania?). And she's certainly thin enough to make the fat comment.

that implies there is more than one and not a one time thing. lets face it, jhud is bigger than 99% of hollywood. it isnt her.

I don't read it that way, both of those comments are about the same person, i.e., she's calling Patti fat AND old.

hotncmom · April 11th, 2007, 04:41 PM

Yeah, but why the hell would Patti care about what JH is doing? Patti is a legend.

My first thought was Lindsay Lohan, too.

I think it's JHud. I've heard a lot of bad press from her. She thinks she's all that and a bag of chips. She could have also been referring to Aretha Franklin. I wanted to like Jennifer, but the more I hear about her ther less I like.
