Mine's the one with Stephanie the Emo Latino who throws a fucking Venetian masquerade ball complete with stripping midgets.

The girl whose dad died a few months after the episode aired. he was a big R&B singer that I had heard, but never knew his name. Very sweet guy.
She will be haunted by her brattiness for the rest of her life.
Sad, but...y'know?
maybe the Mercedes wasn't the most important thing.

holy shit this show is unbelievable.

I really want to see the one with Cee-Lo's kid. The other day some little southern belle payed Yung Joc like a thousand bucks to perform and she got a six-door hummer. Who are the poor saps who will marry this unbelievably spoiled brats? Aren't people like Yung Joc ashamed to be playing rich white kid birthday parties? I wouldn't care how much money they offered, you have to draw the line somewhere.

that should be a hundred thousand dollars. I imagine any rapper you could get for a thousand dollars would be pretty poor quality. A thousand dollars won't even buy enough ice to fill a cavity!

I like the one with the Dad who has some crazy anger problems and freaks. He was a large dude with a Hawaiian shirt.

I sometimes think MTV actually are on the cutting edge with their programming, they consistently think of the most shallow concepts humanly imaginable and make TV shows out of them.

My favourite MTV show is The Virgin Diaries, where they give these amazingly naive/unself-conscious 16 and 17 year olds equipment to shoot their own video diaries about their quest to lose their virginity. It regularly leaves you gaping at the TV mouth open thinking "You do realise this is still gonna be in syndication when you reach university, right? The hilarious tale of your premature ejaculation isn't gonna be a good ice breaker at the freshers' ball"

I like the kids who DON'T get invited - aw, shucks.
And the comments from the kids who DO get invited:
"This is the best thing ever in my whole life!"
"I would totally fuck that car!!"
it is the trashiest of trash television - and that's why I love it.

Greed! Gluttony! Teenagers! Classic!

Nathalie - I don't think so because I don't think that girl's Dad was an R & B singer. The one you're refering to is the one who had the Arabian Nights themed party, right? That girl was the most obnoxious brat ever. I've never wanted to slap someone so much in my entire life. The show makes me sick yet I'm completely fascinated by it.

ENBB, Friday, 23 February 2007 14:52 (eighteen years ago)

Ah yes, of course. That Arabian night theme. So so so horrible.

nathalie, Friday, 23 February 2007 15:21 (eighteen years ago)

it's pretty much the ultimate in train wreck television. the last bit that i saw was a girl shopping for her dress with her mother, who was really skinny and petite. the girl was taller and had a very athletic build, and the mother kept saying really mean "jokey" things to her as she came out of the fitting room. the comment i remember, as the girl modeled a silver dress: "you look like a hoho."

(for our non-american readers, a hoho is a hostess snack cake that comes tightly wrapped in silver foil.)

Without a doubt, the episode with Cee-lo Greens daughter, she was an unholy terror. The few minutes he were on screen however showed what a true star he is. But her, in the designer jumpsuit, being choppered in? The pilot should have hit the emergency seat boosting button.

Gailoh, Friday, 23 February 2007 15:44 (eighteen years ago)

xpost. . .yeah I pretty much hated that mother.

ahh, I should try to find the cee-lo one on youtube or something. I think that's his stepdaughter as he's only like 15 yrs older than her or something? also I was pretty surprised that pre-gnarls barkley he was a big enough roller to indulge a spoiled brat like that. I guess I underestimate the average rapper's spending power. (I figure most of the boasting is BS)

Ms Misery, Friday, 23 February 2007 15:48 (eighteen years ago)

Also, it was Gerald Levert who died shortly after his bratty daughter demanded a car from him.
He is shown on his tour bus, laughing with his bandmates about her pricey demands.
"Hell, no! I was driving a Civic at that age!"

But he gave in.

I always wondered if these shows on MTV have some subersive class undertones, where they're trying to get The Average American Kid to actively hate the wealthy upper class.

My absolute favorite is the one with the girl who was adopted out of foster homes--but instead of being grateful, her attitude is "I was BORN to be this rich, this what was COMING TO ME." And then she fails her driver's exam and gets a BMW anyway.

That's my second favorite one. The unquestioned best is the girl from Ocala, FL whose dad owns "like, ALL the hottest clubs in town." Immediately after she says this, MTV un-ironically cuts to the interior of the trashiest looking nightclub you can imagine, or, as one friend described it Club "Front for a Crystal Meth Smuggling Ring."

That episode also features Ciara getting the birthday girl's name wrong six or seven times and adorable band geeks playing "Happy Birthday" outside the club in the hopes of being let in. (This of course clued us in that the mad hot festivities were taking place in the middle of the afternoon. Daddy must not have wanted to close Club Meth Ring for paying customers that evening.

Pretty much everyone on the show who isn't a child of a musician, is a child of a nightclub owner. MTV must be cognizant that these nightclub owner parents are throwing a 200K party for their kids for the exact same reason the musicians do (i.e. a 30 minute commercial for their services on MTV), but I am left to wonder if the kids are in on the joke. Can anyone really be that dim/spoiled/oblivious?
