An e-mail to the public account asked what pisses me off -- "something personal"?
I believe in fairness and when something's unfair that pisses me off.
This evening, I was out with friends -- musicians -- and one noted "how right you are about CRAPAPEDIA." I've been calling it that for nearly two decades now. It is CRAPAPEDIA. I started calling it that because we didn't like, a number of women, the way we got portrayed on there in the '00s. Our sexual partners were listed and it was implied we were sluts and whores. Now the men we slept with, if you checked their entries, they didn't have their sexual partners listed and there was no moralizing.
I guess I should be glad that there's been a little shift.
For example, an actual whore is now being inflated on CRAPAPEDIA.
I couldn't believe what he was telling me.
We'll call her Ms Z because she put everyone to sleep she was so dull and boring.
But Ms Z spread her legs far and wide for fame and but apparently never stretched wide enough to catch it. Unless you consider her being reviled for her treatment of a male singer to be fame.
She dumped him for a record producer, she was always spreading her way to the top.
The singer's friends hate Ms Z to this day (one of them was at the dinner tonight). The singer was dropped due to an accident that left him disabled and Ms Z's new lay got her into a group for a few weeks -- most people know who I'm talking about already -- for a few weeks.
Now I knew of a book that came out in 2003. I never read it and would have no desire to (though I may have to now) -- I know most of the people in the book -- certainly the four it's focused on. I bring up the book because this little nothing, this non-entity who did nothing but sleep with men who she hoped would make her a star (never happened) has a 31 paragraph entry at WIKIPEDIA (and most of the lies are cited to that 2003 book). 31 paragraphs. She has nothing that she's known for -- other than spreading her legs.
She's suspected of having written the entry herself, by the way.
She's claiming to have made TV appearances that she did not make. She was not on THE HOLLYWOOD PALACE, for example. Never with the group. Never.
What she's doing is stealing the credits of a friend of mine who actually is famous and earned her fame (and had an active sex life along the way -- but was not a user spreading her legs for fame -- nothing wrong with enjoying sex, using sex as a stepping stone, however, makes you a slut).
32. That's the number of paragraphs in my friend's WIKIPEDIA entry. To Ms Z's 31.
Ms Z, for a few weeks (weeks!), replaced my friend in a group.
That's the only 'fame' she ever had.
My friend, by contrast, starred in films and on TV and sang on 10 top forty hits (not counting background vocals decades later). She landed five albums in the top 20 on BILLBOARD's top 200. She co-wrote two songs that were top ten hits (one went to number five, the other to number four).
Yet Ms Z -- a nothing -- has a CRAPAPEDIA article -- filled with lies and in dire need of real citations -- that has only one paragraph less than my friend.
Now most people know that Ms Z -- in one of her slutty moves -- destroyed a man who was in a car accident. So it's interesting that Ms Z's entry at CRAPAPEDIA manages to get even that's man's discography wrong.
She has no achievements to speak of. Very few people even know her name. You could stump JEOPARDY contestants with her as an an answer.
A friend just e-mailed a photo of her that was never published anywhere when she briefly replaced my friend (weeks, not months) and, oh, she was ugly. Those bangs are hideous. This is the photo that they lie about in Ms Z's entry -- I knew they were lying because it was never on a billboard in Los Angeles -- it's an ugly photo of her and no one would put it on a billboard.
And I love how Ms Z has also tried to take credit for singing on a song that my friend had the group record (the songwriter was friends with my friend's father). And they recorded it two albums after Ms. Z was fired from the group after being in it for about six weeks. And it was recorded in the studio of the home my friend lived in, she and her husband didn't buy the house until a year after Ms Z had been fired. So it's cute that Ms Z is attempting to claim she sang on a hit song recorded in that home studio and recorded two years after she was fired from the group.
See you give a little slut like that an inch and she's going to try to turn it into 31 paragraphs. She's just a liar. We were all pulling CRAPAPEDIA up on our phones at the table and just appalled.
Ms Z has whined for years about the band's album that she claims she sang on. When not whining that it's not her fault that her ex-boyfriend had a car accident and not her fault that she abandoned him and she's not evil and she's not mean and blah blah blah. So she's tried to pretend that in her brief time in the group that she sang on all the songs -- no, she didn't -- on one album. And that she is on that album.
My friend had already sung on most of the tracks before being replaced with Ms Z. Ms Z tried to sing on the tracks. Per the producer and everyone in the band (except my friend, we'll come back to that), she couldn't sing, she couldn't blend.
And the producer and the band leader were both perfectionists. So Ms Z didn't sing on it. Everyone complained about how many takes you had to do to get a recording that was considered worthy of release, the standards were high so the recording costs were high. They recorded the same songs over and over (hence, the need for the home studio that they would later use). So explain to me, how a brief tour took place (at which Ms Z was booed from the first concert to the last), how a visit to London took place (Ms Z was sleeping with the producer of the group -- again, she'd dump one man and spread for another as she tried to grab onto fame) and how she recorded an entire album with the group in less than six weeks. She sang on a few takes, no question. But those takes weren't good enough for release. This wasn't the kind of recording she was used to where you go in and sing it once all the way through and then you rush it out on vinyl. This wasn't that kind of recording. These were intricate vocals and they were done over and over and over. It's why people wanted to quit the group. It was time consuming and it was always one more take always let's go back to what we were doing last week and see if we can . . . Again, Ms Z did go into a studio and did sing on a few takes. Those didn't make the album. And the group's leader would never have allowed those to be released. He went for intricate arrangements not spontaneity. And she couldn't blend with the other female's voice. She didn't really try to either. She was convinced she was Hot S**t and that this other woman would have to step aside for her.
Before she showed up, the band had already spent months in the studio recording -- over and over, the same 14 songs (only 12 were released). And they would go back into the studio with my friend to re-record those tracks again after Ms Z was fired.
Ms Z was not on the released album. She pretends that she is and my friend was kind enough to say 'maybe she is, who knows?' That was the inch and it was all Ms Z needed to suddenly pretend she had a recording career.
And now she's turned it into 31 paragraphs at CRAPAPEDIA and is trying to pretend that one of the group's most famous songs, recorded two years after she left, recorded at my friend's house (purchased a year after Ms Z was out of the group), is something she sings on. [She's done this on the entry of another member of the band. This is what she does, she puts a little lie out there, lets it sit for awhile and then moves it over to her own CRAPAPEDIA entry.] [And if you know who I'm talking about and want to read it yourself, go to the CRAPAPEDIA entry for the other female in the band, her first solo album and look at the credits and you'll find Ms Z's name listed because the first song on the first solo album was also a hit song for the band -- it's confusing I know.]
Give a piece of trash like that an inch and she'll try to stretch it out into a multi-verse.
So that's an example of what pisses me off.
If you'd written the same e-mail at another time, you would have gotten a different answer. But it would have been about fairness. When people aren't fair -- or grateful -- I tend to get pissed off. My friend was trying to be nice to Ms Z and in return she gets Ms Z lying even more and trying to steal even more.
