Who picked this tree? Charlie Brown? Is this really the best we could do for Rockefeller Plaza this year?
Also in breaking news… President Trump fired the top official responsible for securing the election, who had disputed his baseless declarations of fraud. The announcement came via Twitter, the same way Mr. Trump fired his defense secretary two weeks ago. Mr. Trump seemed set off by a statement released by D.H.S. late last week, the product of a broad agency overseeing the elections, that declared the 2020 election “was the most secure in American history.”
In Bravo news, rumors have been circulating that Garcelle quit RHOBH mid-filming. That’s not exactly true. She did walk out of filming recently, but she returned after a while and is currently filming. UPDATE! I MISUNDERSTOOD MY SOURCE. She didn’t walk off. She is just really busy filming The Real and other things and missed a few shoots.
Family Karma’s filming shutdown continues due to cast members contracting COVID. This means we won’t see the Diwali celebrations this season.
RHOA is/was also shutdown due to COVID. I’m not sure if it was cast or crew or both. Everyone is being retested this week. They have been testing once a week all season.
Someone on SHAHS was exposed to COVID and things slowed down a bit. That person has been tested multiple times and has been negative each time.
Dolly Parton donated one million dollars in April to Vanderbilt University Medical Center to go toward the Covid fund. The money was used to help create the Moderna vaccine.
And those are all my tidbits from my inbox for now…
Good God! Did they drag the tree on its side from Upstate NY to Midtown Manhattan?
I love Dolly Parton.
And DJT! Thank you Dolly for your support! ❣️ He said we would have a vaccine this year and now we have TWO!
It’s easy to be accurate if you wait until results are announced before making your “predictions,” though you’re right. He does struggle with that a hilarious amount of the time.
He also said the virus would ‘magically disappear’ so forgive me from withholding credit for DJT.
He also quit going to Corona Task Force Meetings five or six months ago and was FURIOUS that Fauci is more respected than he is. And he said Science was wrong. So he had absolutely nothing to do the vaccine except for bringing the usual chaos and telling people false information like, “we are rounding the corner” despite the fact deaths were spiking . And refusing to send aid to Blue states and even saying he will with hold the vaccine from New York because he hates Cuomo. Also because he is popular. And he claimed the vaccine was held until after the election just to make him lose. But you know, other than that… it was all HIM!
I refer to him as the great I AM. He will next take credit for everything good & run away from anything bad. No moral compass. Easy breezy beautiful cover girl our make up wearing bleach blonde weave wearing natural beauty POTUS. I abhor that spineless twat.
He’s a bit of a feckless clueless dick. Quite a bit. Actually a lot. like a lot a lot.
Fuck it; he’s the dumb ass fuck stick you don’t ever want to do.
Unless you’re a fucking dumb ass in which case welcome less than half of the US your favorite dick just lost.
DJT’s mirror speaks. O beautiful, this racist guy amongst such human pain. From presidential mountaintop, epitomy of vain. America, America God she’d disgrace on the and crowned thumping with attitude from pee to golden pee.
Dolly is the epitome of a classy lady.
God Bless Dolly
And DJT for paving the way to TWO vaccines!!! Another promise kept.
Also, let’s God bless Dominion Voting Systems—without them we wouldn’t have four years (cough, cough) of Joey to look forward to!
HAHAHA! 🤣
Best laugh I’ve had all week, thanks! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Betsy, you’ve been behaving like a bot, which is odd for a human, but who cares? Now, I see your coughing parenthetical and implication about President Biden’s death. I don’t think you want to be that person. I doubt you even want to come across that ugly and immature when you’re acting like a bot.
Her name is BeetsWhy and she really is that person. She’s a nuisance, try your best to ignore her.
Poor tree sacrificed his life and he clearly wasn’t the best tree for the job. Dolly is a hero
Tamara, I burst out laughing when I read the title and saw the picture. I mean literally laughing hysterically. You are effing hilarious. And YES, what the hell is up with this damn tree? Seriously? This must be a joke, honest to God, this has to be a joke….
Well they want people to stay away right, what better than an ugly tree! Too funny and embarrassing but hey this is how this year has been one shitty tree. I would think alot of productions will be shutting down, since people cant stay away from one another🙄
My cutest little strawberry boy is going to be 2 on actual Thanksgiving day. My husband’s birthday is the day before. His restaurant has picked up an insane amount of catering orders that we have to cancel any family plans. But that is money for Christmas, and we both agreed we cannot turn that away. Within an 7 week span, we two kids birthdays and Christmas. Fall is expensive Y’all.
That’s amazing! I know it will be hard to be away from family but it’s great that you have the business. Happy birthday to all and happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you Jesus I don’t have to buy a PS5. They retail for $499.00. Last year I had to scrape to get my kids presents. It fucking sucks to bargain to get kids the things they want. But I did it, and I will do it again.
I actually think that ugly tree is PERFECT for 2020. It says it all about this sucky year, doesn’t it? The outgoing con man in the White House is going o do his best to screw up this country as much as possible in the next 60 days. I wish he could be removed yesterday.
Jumping the gun, perhaps, on your 90 Day Fiance, The Other Way recap, but that “card” that Sumit got for Jenny to ward off COVID was hilarious! People are so gullible! Grasping at straws.
I’m glad Garcelle will be back. I liked her.
The card. Rarely am I at a loss for words. Yet I am. Wow. As to the tree. For some reason I am inspired to watch good versions of “The Greatest Christmas Pagent Ever” and Elf. Oh and Kenny and Dolly Christmas. Rare for me to be ready to jump into Xmas this soon but am ready. I think.
My wishes already came true this year!! Trump got rightfully fired!! So my 2021 wish will be that him and his entire crony circle are prosecuted. I’ll be really blown away if those wishes come true!
Yeah, that tree really sums up 2020 perfectly!
I had seen pictures of that tree before they cut it down…and I thought “Wut???” But I am a tree hugger and hate to see any glorious tree cut down especially one that is that big and that old. It has been a Charlie Brown tree kinda year and they can glam it up so I doubt we will even notice when it is lit up…or better yet if we are all LIT UP…I am going for that.
UPDATE! I MISUNDERSTOOD MY SOURCE. Garcelle didn’t walk off. She is just really busy filming The Real and other things and missed a few shoots.
I FINALLY WENT TO PUBLIX THIS MORNING AFTER DAYS AND DAYS OF PROCRASTINATING! I’m probably set through the rest of this wretched year except for a trip to the cig store! YAY! I didn’t buy enough water though.
AND TOILET PAPER COSTS A MILLION DOLLARS! It hasn’t been on sale since COVID and I always wait for a sale.
Guys, the tree always looks like that when it is delivered – basically unrecognizable to the finished tree. I live about 10 blocks from Rock Plaza and it is the same story every year. Trust that they will fill it in and but so many lights on it that it will look awesome when they are done.
I spent like a car payment at the Publix this morning. And there is nothing I want to eat for lunch. I’d like to eat all the Chex Mix, but I need to eat something reasonable. I’m not feeling reasonable. I never went to bed so I should probably just nap until tonight when there is four recapping hours in prime time. I don’t think I can make it to RHOSLC without a nap.
There were packs of TOILET PAPER for $16!!! I can’t afford to wipe my ass with Cottonelle anymore. I bought a small pack of Angel Soft. I would have bought the store brand but they were sold out of that. Nothing but rich people toilet paper. A pack of toilet paper was the same price as a box of Black Box! #Priorities.
That is horrible! Guess they don’t want anyone coming to look at the tree!
Seriously, this is standard for the tree – it always looks like sh#t until they fix it. It will be beautiful by the time it debuts. Please everyone don’t freak out about the tree, I live 10 blocks away and it is like this every year. It is just one of those stories like NYC is a crime den over run by homeless. I live and walk around here in the heart of midtown, and the news of our demise is greatly exaggerated, often by people who don’t live here.
Stay healthy
You restored my spirit! Thanks for the uplifting post!
I worked a couple blocks from the tree one year and was just amazed at its transformation, but the best part was walking to work in the morning and they would have the camels from the Radio City Christmas show out to get some fresh air. Always surreal to pass camels in NYC!
I love Dolly too! Netflix has a newly released documentary about Dolly and her entire life and it is fascinating!! And yea that Christmas tree looks kinda sick……maybe New York wanted the tree to appear long-suffering, just like the city feels after this shitty year! 😷🥵😟😷
That is one sad looking tree. ! Dolly Parton is a national treasure!
That is so cool. NYC is always full of life and adventure. I am from Mass and you know we are in a love hate thing but mostly I LOVE! Happy Thanksgiving.
Sorry above comment was supposed to go in response above. BUT Dolly is def a National Treasure. I also wish you a happy T Day
An owl was rescued from that tree and when I saw-whet I immediately thought of Nanette.
I think I can almost feel the state of this tree. it just very accurately reflects us all by the end of the year. in some sense I even like it.
Why not taking into consideration an artificial Chrismas tree? It could be used for years, without wasting of time and money in terms of transportation and above all it’s a brave “green choice”
