Singer Jewel Dupes Her Audience

/in /by

I saw this video on Celebitchy today. Singer Jewel went under cover for “Funny or Die” and went to a karaoke bar as a demure business woman, dressed in a suit. “Funny or Die” wanted to see if she could sing and fool the audience! She showed up at the bar with some “friends” who called her Karen, and it was her friends who cheered her on and got the bar to cheer her on to the stage. In the video, you see this little awkward woman who looks timid and shy grab the microphone, unsure of herself.

But when Karen starts to sing, her timidness and shyness fall to the floor, and she becomes free as a bird, and soars. She plays with the audience, and really belts it out–which should have made people question her. Little Ms. Karen, if she had no experience, wouldn’t do this. It was a big clue to the truth! Her demeanor before singing and her actions on stage are at complete odds. I know that would have thrown me to the floor in disbelief. My antenna would have gone into active mode.

You’ve got to laugh at the guy who says when he saw Karen sitting with three people, “She’s kind of homely looking, then when she started singing, god, she’s so sexy how she’s dancing!” He later says he thought Karen sang better than Jewel, unaware the two were the same person.

At the end, I was shocked that the people didn’t put it together that Jewel and Karen were the same. Hello! What would the odds be that a woman named Karen would sing just like Jewel and Jewel happened to show up and Karen was gone? Didn’t people look for Karen to see her response? I sure would have. That would have been the most fascinating to me, if I was still in the dark. If I hadn’t figured it at first, I would have when I searched for Karen and couldn’t find her!

Would you have figured it out?

I think after I heard “Karen” belt out her tune with such confidence, I would have been at her friends feet saying, “Come on! Admit it, she isn’t Karen, she is Jewel” and I would have watched their faces try to conceal it and I would have known. I approach strangers when I have questions like this. I’m not shy to do so.

How about you? What would you have thought or done?

I was once at the Miami airport and there were these guys standing around with tons of equipment outside the check-in doors. People started clamoring, maybe it was Spyro Gyra. I was like, “Who are they?” The chatter became intense and I said, “If you want to know, ask them” and people looked at me like no way, so I walked up and asked them and they said yes they were. I was like, ‘Thanks”. They looked at me funny, but at least it wasn’t a mystery anymore!

What type are you?

Beakers filled with colorful liquids

Yesterday while reading the morning news, I ran into an article on Twitter about how our writing reveals our personalities. I thought it was cool, so I wrote a post about it and then asked you what you could discern about me from my writing. I was quite impressed how accurately my writing reveals my personality, though I have to say I am not surprised (see the comment section to the link above). Thanks for participating!

“CannedAm” wrote that she found the Typealyzer from the article. It’s a tool that determines your personality from your blog, much like the article I wrote about. She ran my blog through it and reported back that it came back as “The Scientists”. I quickly went to see the results for myself.

If you write online, check it out and tell us what you find. Is it accurate for you?

I was surprised to see what “The Scientists” meant. Here is what the Typealyzer says about my blog:

The long-range thinking and individualistic type. They are especially good at looking at almost anything and figuring out a way of improving it – often with a highly creative and imaginative touch. They are intellectually curious and daring, but might be physically hesitant to try new things.

The Scientists enjoy theoretical work that allows them to use their strong minds and bold creativity. Since they tend to be so abstract and theoretical in their communication they often have a problem communicating their visions to other people and need to learn patience and use concrete examples. Since they are extremely good at concentrating they often have no trouble working alone.

But more interesting is that it said I was an INTJ through my writing, though the website says writing style doesn’t always correlate to personality. But ironically, for me, it does, which was an even bigger kick. I am being true to myself when I write this blog. When I was much younger and at a job full-time, the company I worked for had their employees take the Briggs-Myers test and I scored out at an ENTJ. In reading both, I still think I am an ENTJ–with a slight blend of INTJ.

Just something silly and fun for the day. Now I am back to work!!

Kaine Wants Terri Held in Contempt of Court

/in /by

There seems to be a lot going on in the Kyron Horman case today–more trouble for Terri. Kaine Horman filed a court motion for contempt, asking the court to hold Terri Horman in contempt of court. She has apparently shared sealed court documents with people when she was forbid to do so.

In the motion filed today, Kaine has been informed by law enforcement that Terri has been having an affair with a high school friend of Kaine, named Michael Cook. The court document says that Terri showed court documents, which contained Kaine’s new residence to Cook and had him take cell phone pictures of them. According to records, Cook then used the information to search for Kaine’s current address on Google.

Kaine also learned according to the motion that was filed today that Terri is in a sexual relationship with Michael Cook. The motions says that LE backs this as they have had interviews with Cook himself.

Was is disturbing is the police have supporting materials including “Respondent [Terri Horman] in various stages of undress and graphic sexual activity” from Cook.

Police have told Kaine’s attorney that Terri’s behavior is similar to how she treated the landscaper in the murder-for-hire plot…The motion says, “sexual overtures to Mr. Cook resemble those man to a man Respondent previously attempted to hire to murder Petitioner.”

It gets even more disturbing. Terri looked to abduct Kiara from the daycare gym when Kaine worked out.

/in /by

Could postpartum psychosis be the reason Terri Horman has behaved the way she has? It’s certainly an interesting question. According to Louann Brizendine, a neuropsychiatrist, out of the 10 or 20 women develop postpartum depression, one in a 1000 mothers go on to develop this serious mental illness of psychosis, where they lose touch with reality.
