As much as possible, I try to avoid making fun of the Hollywood media, because it’s such a vast collection of whores and idiots that if I regularly dabbled in media criticism, eventually this blog would do nothing but focus on what a grating bitch Nikki Finke is and how Variety’s lingo instantly lowers your IQ.
However, every now and then I like to have fun with the foibles of flamboyant simpleton Michael Ausiello, who was actually serious when he wrote this headline:
Now, stop and think about that for a second: Kathy Najimy. “Ugly Betty.” Historic. Exclusive. All in the same headline.
To flesh that out a little: Najimy, whose most famous role remains “the chubby nun” in 1992′s Sister Act, landed a guest appearance on a show so unpopular that its final season was just shortened by two episodes, and that is HISTORIC, people. And it’s an exclusive, so just go ahead and suck on THAT, other TV reporters who were trying to break this story about Najimy’s historic role. Oh, and did I mention that the role is the orthodontist who removes the braces that Betty has worn for the last, like, seven years? Get it? Kathy Najimy is BRACING for the role?
Honestly, I’m not even mad. I’m actually kind of impressed that someone so joyously dimwitted can rise to a level of prominence in any industry. Of course, if it had to be any industry, Hollywood sounds about right.

Oh yeah, Kathy Najimy. She also starred with Sarah Jessica Parker and some other asshole as one of three witches in some lame movie i found quite the challenge to masturbate to. Apparently Najimy had to spend four hours in make up every morning for her role. SJP could just roll onto set whenever she wanted.
I actually read an Ausiello mailbag once, and every question was readers asking for spoilers of plotless shows like “NCIS,” “Bones,” and “CSI.”
EW may have hired a joyous dimwit, but apparently they also know their audience.
she played dowdy psychiatrist in gettin played starring carmen electra, stacey dash, and vivica fox… that movie should have been called cock tease… sorry ladies, in this twilight of your “sexy” career you should be taking it off
I recently found out that the dude from the wedding band in Old School and The Hangover is married to her and I lost all respect for him. Not just for being married to her- he’s also a huge tool if you’ve ever heard him interviewed, but being married to her makes it so much worse.
Nikki Finke: Start a hair metal band or GTFO
@Danger Guerrero- how dare you lump Bones in with CSI and NCIS. Its the Moonlighting of our generation!
/fishes ‘Straight Guy’ card out of wallet. “So do I have to turn this in now or….”
She’s married to that guy? She must be 20 years older than him.
/too lazy to look it up
Just did look it up. She was born in 1957 and he was born in 1970! If i was Roger Moore i’d be raising an eyebrow right now.
Kathy Najimy is who I think about when I want my Najimy to not explode. Her and Danger Guerrero.
Oooohhhh, ‘braces’! I get it!
The only reason I’ve ever heard her name before is because she’s the voice of Peggy Hill.
This guy’s entire schtick was stolen from Jackie Harvey. ‘Ooooh, Ugly Betty drama? It’s right at home here in THE OUTSIDE SCOOP!!!’
@chazz… dan finnerty gets a pass because any chick he nails is automatically awesome and she does the voice of peggy hill…
