You’re Cut Off!‘s Laura Baron reached out to us to ask if we’d syndicate her personal blog post on Charlie Sheen. We’re happy to oblige, particularly in light of the just announced VH1 News Presents: Charlie Sheen: Winning…or Losing It? special.
We're no better than Charlie Sheen. We watch him basking in his mega wealth with users publicly snacking on his goods and act like it's nothing we know, not true. Charlie's severe sense of entitlement is endemic of this society. Don't tell me you haven't seen extreme self-love and ignorance with the people around you. Just because he and his tightrope are higher off the ground, doesn't mean his trip isn't the same.
Charlie Sheen is a direct reflection to everyone in this society struggling with the addiction of grandeur, never owning up to responsibility. While his camp bails and he stands alone choosing only the company of people who've made careers screwing others on the public stage, we feel a sense of relief and distance from the disaster. Don't give yourself that out. Use this as a reminder, no one is free from consequence – “ nothing can buy away the truth. Not even Hollywood can Technicolor Charlie's fall.

On last night’s You’re Cut Off! season finale, the girls took part in a tear-filled graduation ceremony…
…but not before one last argument about, I don’t know, higher education and dropouts? If nothing else, at least they were thematically consistent with graduation looming!
And on last night’s The X Life finale…

With the season of You’re Cut Off! drawing to a close, we thought it’d be a good opportunity to catch up with the young women on the show to find out how it’s made an impact on their lives. Were they really cut off? What did they learn from the show? What are they up to now? Most of the girls responded back to us promptly — their answers are below. They may surprise you!

…That is, at least, the consensus of her co-stars, as you can see in this clip from last night’s You’re Cut Off! As Nadia wails while being tended to by paramedics, even her most congenial peer, Lauren, calls her out for being a drama queen. I don’t know, regardless of whether it was her fault, Nadia’s pain seemed real? It was good TV (see an appreciate Aimee talk about how funny it is), even if she just fell into it.
On last night’s You’re Cut Off!…
…the little red dress that could quickly turned into the little red dress that couldn’t when Laura called Aimee out for wearing it to group. I guess Aimee won’t be called back to perform stand-up any time soon on account of how she bombed that one…
And on The X Life…

I bet the girls are soooooo jealous that their costars of this episode get to wear real furs. Try stuffing that into a trunk!

Fallen You’re Cut Off! angel Jenn Jowett recently spoke with TMZ and said some preposterous things, namely that the show’s portrayal of her caused Jenn’s premiere-night DUI. Jenn says watching the premiere episode (particularly the group scene) made her “really stressed out” and so she fled her apartment. Judge Judy would have a field day with the accountability-dodging in this one (“NO ONE MADE YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR AFTER YOU’D BEEN DRINKING. LEARN HOW TO WALK, MADAME. CATCH UP WITH THE MATURITY OF TODDLERS.”). Jenn also claims, “I came out of the show a lot more unstable than when I went in. I don’t know what to do…I need some real professional help.” Uh, then get some? Take a month off from running the elevator in your home and what you save in elevator oil put toward therapy. See? Easy. [TMZ]
