Jewels Diva the Agony Aunt Advice Columnist!

I'm starting a new category / column for all to email about. I'm going to be an Agony Aunt. For those that don't know what that is, think of an advice column in a paper. In some countries, it's an Agony Aunt. So peoples, tell Aunty Jewels what your problem is and ask me some questions.

I'll get you started -

Question: I'm related to Kevin Rudd, Australia's Prime Minister. What should I do?

Answer: Kill yourself!

There, see, that was simple. Why don't you give it a try and we'll have some fun!

Jewels. xxoo

English boy Alfie Patten a father at 13????

So 13 year old Alfie Patten isn't the father after all.

Well duh!

Trinny and Susannah, Therese Rein and Kerri-anne Kennerly. Do these women let their men dictate what they buy?

So Trinny and Susannah are back in Aus, and telling everyone what to wear. Which is fine, but it seems that Kerri-anne Kennerly has taken an offence to what they said about Therese Rein, the prime minister's wife.

It would seem they merely said - ''A STURDY pair of opaque tights and a good blow-dry could transform the Prime Minister's wife into the glamourpuss that is lurking within her.''

So what the hell is wrong with that?????????????????????

Kerri-anne took offence to it and asked people to write in with their thoughts. It's not like they told her she needed to get a makeover for God's sake. A pair of tights and a blow wave, what the hell is wrong with that??????

I personally hate Kevin Dudd, er Rudd. So I don't like Therese either. She may be very nice, but her dress sense is atrocious. She's fat! There I said it, getting the big fat elephant out of the way. Fat people, if they don't care to lose weight, need to dress for their proportions. She doesn't. That revolting white frilly coat did absolutely nothing. Neither does most of her clothes.

Maybe Trinny and Susannah need to give her a makeover.

Still speaking of the girls, they appeared on channel 7's, Sunrise and The Morning Show. On Sunrise, they were giving tips for buying in the recession. Something got mentioned about having too many clothes/shoes, and how we don't need to go and buy anything else, just recycle what we've got when Susannah mentioned that her husband cut up her credit card because she was buying too many clothes.

WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Susannah has possibly made more money than her husband has in his entire lifetime, and yet she let him cut up her credit card. And NO ONE said ANYTHING.

I take great offence to women who hide their purchases, and feel to scared to mention what they've bought. I find it verrryyyy offensive to hear women deny themselves, and let men run their lives. Because that's what that was. Susannah didn't stand up to her husband and tell him to bugger off, and cut up his own card.

Here's my thoughts -

If you have a job that earns money, and you make sure your mortgage/rent/bills are paid on time, so you have a roof over your head, and the electricity's on etc, and you have money left over, you are perfectly free to spend it however you want.

So here's my beef -

Why the hell do women think they have to hide their purchases from their partners. You have a paying job, you pay your bills, then why the hell can't you buy what you want. Why do you need to hide it and then lie about it?

''Oh no sweetie, this thing, it's old. No, I got it ages ago.''

And yet the tags are still hanging off it!!!!!

I am a single chickie babe, and so have my own money. Even when I have a partner, I don't answer to him. Whatever I want to buy I have EVERY RIGHT TO! I DO NOT answer to any man, I answer to myself. If I have money after paying the bills, then I'm free to spend it. If I book it up on credit, then I keep my monthly shopping to a limit I can afford to pay off.I DON'T need to let him know, but I don't lie about it. What I buy is my business, not his.

So girls, for God's sake, stop lying about what and when and where and how much. You don't have to. What you do with your money is your business not his.

Men certainly don't bother telling you what they buy, or how much it was, or where they got it from. If they ask, tell them, but you don't have to offer the info because it isn't their business.

And stop feeling ashamed and embarrassed. Because that would be the only reason you're scared to tell him, only when he asks, you feel ashamed or embarrassed about something.

Why????? What is it??????

Girls, I seriously think you need to start figuring out why you're too scared to say anything. If you're not in debt and pay all your bills, then be proud that you can afford to buy things. That you have your own money from a paying job. That you are an individual human being that doesn't need ANYBODY'S permission to buy what you want. For Christ's sake girls, grow a brain and get a grip on your life. It is your business, not his!

A very rich Jewels

Do you love CSI: Crime Scene Investigations, CSI Miami, and CSI New York? Then DON'T join CSI Files!

Do you guys love CSI, CSI Miami, and CSI New York? Great!, just don't join Talk CSI at CSI Files. Especially the New York forum.

A new friend of mine is a member of the New York threads, especially those of Carmine Giovinazzo, the stud in the above picture, and the man I call my lover >>>> check my sidebar, anyhoo, she recently told me about all the hoohaa over the nickname she gave Carmine.

Carmie!

However, it would seem that one of the mods in the NY forum, has got her verrrry tight g-string knickers in a verrryy big twist over the nickname. The following paragraphs are the conversation between my friend, other members and the mod. I've included all but my friend's name, but CSI Files is relatively easy to find.

my friend -

Awwwww, doesn't Carmie look cute in his hat, isn't the movie worth watching if only for the boys of New York. ---- , love your avvie, Aretha's damn hat has made the rounds and Hill looks so cute in it. Wonder what Carmine would look like in it, hint hint, better than his fedora maybe. Although fedoras are quite popular here in Aus, and I'm looking into getting some myself. Bright colours of course, not poo brown, ewww. And just on the glasses, Hill has worn glasses on NY before, however, tortoiseshell ones don't look very nice on him.NY still isn't on here in Aus, Miami is still the last series, Vegas is coming back tonight, but no NY at this stage. Last year when we ended, it had gone two eps into the new series, but it actually seemed the same as the last one. Hard to decipher where the last ended and the new started.

jolein - the bitch poster -

For the love of anything can we please not call Carmine Carmie.Not only is it an insult to Carmine but it is also disrespectful and annoying.

Top41, also know as Kristine Huntley - the bitch moderator -

-------, you've been asked several times to not call the actor by that silly nickname--please stop!

So then my friend got quite pissed off, and I did too, over the ridiculousness over a nickname for Christ's sake. She responded in kind -

To those that don't like MY nickname for Carmine, so what! I'm surprised that one word in a whole sentence, one word in a whole post can affect people so much. I can see why so many have left since I've been here, that's three years this year. I post every now and then, since NY isn't on here in Aus, there's not much point in me leaving comments, so I only post about Carmine, and what he's up to.

Top - can't say I remember being told several times to stop, I only vaguely remember once where you may have said you didn't like it and could I not do it again, several years ago. Considering I only ocassionally call him that, and that it's my nickname for him, there's been times I've used it, even recently, and no one has said anything. It's not hurting anyone by me calling him that. I'm showing my affection for him in my way. I'm surprised there's a big thing about it now.

Jolein - It's hardly an insult to him, I adore Carmine, and if I want to ocassionally call him Carmie then I will. It's also not disrespectful in any way shape or form. You're the only one that I've seen whinge about it. If you don't like it, tough! Get over yourself.

This thread/forum is for showing our love for the actors we most adore. For me, that's Carmine, that's my nickname for him, and in no way do I disrespect, accuse, insult, or am rude to him. Unlike some of the past sexual innuendos that have gone on that could be seen as insulting, and have gone unnoticed, and unmentioned.

There are many times that posts have pissed me off or annoyed me, and I've been disgusted by some of the crap that goes on between people in the past, but I don't bother with it and move on. If a simple nickname gets you angry then I say that says more about you than anything else.Get a life people. If someone's nickname for an actor annoys you, get over it. We're all here to shower love and adoration on our favourite actors, so a nickname is hardly an offence to get you knickers in a knot over. For God's sake people! It's ONLY a nickname!

bitch jolein -

Wow,thank you for insulting me and saying I should get over it.And I do think it is inappropriate to give him a nickname,since you don`t know the guy personally and really it does sound childdish.

Apparently the poster can NOT ONLY not spell, but she actually thought that being told to get over herself was an insult. And here I was thinking that the Americans gave us that term!!!!! Hmmmmm!

bitch Top41 -

------, nicknaming someone you don't know isn't appropriate and is frankly juvenile. You want to do it elsewhere, fine. But you're being asked now in no uncertain terms to knock it off here. As for your attitude towards others who don't like it, telling people to "get a life" and "get over yourself" isn't appropriate. If you post in this manner again, you'll get an official warning. Let's get back on topic, folks. Thanks.

Wowwwwww, someone REALLLY got their knickers in a knot! She really has a chip on her shoulder. Being a moderator has gone to her head, and she thinks she runs the place. Ah, NO, you don't! The person who made the site runs the place.

But it would seem that you just can't give your fav actor a nickname anymore without someone shitting all over you.

and then someone named - 'beautifulsong' - made a post -

Hi first post just dropping in because I DO know carmine and although I don't nickname (nor do I hang out with him constantly we are NOT best friends, just casually acquainted) I find this whole thing funny and so would carmine. I don't think there is anything inappropriate about nicknaming a person you don't know. And trust me hon, carmine would not have a problem with it. He would actually find it funny that people are putting him on such a high pedastol (sp) as to even make it a point to get heated about.

Personally all the things that people say about the different actors on this site (NONE of whom I have met by the way, I'm not trying to come off as some hollywood insider) I'm surprised the person warned was warned for something so trivial and people actually got their panties in a bunch. Carmine is not the type that likes to be put on a pedastol. It's uncomfortable for him. So adoration is nice but he likes to feel like a real person not a worshipped thing.No I can't give you a ton of proof that I know him because private pics are just that PRIVATE (get your mind out of the gutter I don't have THOSE kinds of pics, as I've said before I don't know him in that way).

So believe me or not just go with your gut instinct and remember he's a regular guy and not some holy statue. Case In Point. I originally got this account I don't know how long ago specifically to post something to bust his balls and have him read it. I couldn't figure out something funny enough that didn't have too many inside jokes as to have people scratching their heads and wondering what's up with the weird post. So I've never posted and probably won't again. But I do read the board from time to time and just HAD to comment on this silliness. Take care and God Bless. P.S. Carmine took it in perfect stride when I kept slipping up and calling him Carmen when I first got to know him. He didn't get all bent out of shape and neither should you.

bitch jolein -

BeautifulSong,Thank you kindly for your response but I do think you are missing the point here.I do believe you when you say he wouldn`t mind but the point is that most people who post here don`t know him personally and there for it is inappropriate to give him a nickname or shorten his name.It is called respect to someone.I doubt that anyone here puts him on a pedestal or holy statue either.Most of us respect the guy for what he does and yes,sometimes are very shallow but all in good fun and with respect.

then someone called - fm62 also added her support of my friend -

I wasn't going to post on this, as it's really none of my business, but have found myself thinking of this a few times since it happened. The girl who originally posted "Carmie" is Australian and she did point out that this was normal practice where she comes from. Every Australian that came to train with my company called me "Frannie" which I hated with a passion, but I didn't say anything as it was done in an endearing way and is just part of their culture.It is of course acceptable to say that as this is a US site, we should all adhere to US values while we're here. I thought it was (unintentionally, of course) culturally insensive to suggest it was silly, childish or juvenile, when it is something even a 90 year old Aussie would do.

Being a middle-aged British woman, I find it weird that we all call the actors, who we don't know, by their first name, rather than give them their full title. It seems overpersonal, but I'm starting to get used to it. Of course younger people here are no longer so old-fashioned and will find it normal practice.No offence meant to anyone, I do find it facinating how different people from different cultures view things and how each culture can take differing conclusions when watching the same scenes in this or any other programme. That's why the blue flu discussion was so interesting to me.

then bitch jolein decided to get out of the argument she started, since she obviously saw my friend was getting support and that she was getting nowhere, although she seems to have a problem with more members than just my friend. seriously, she needs to get over herself -

Maybe it is a cultural saying but if it gets to the point were it is annoying and people have asked to stop it,then it has nothing to do with culture.And that is what happend in this case with the nickname.But I`ll leave it to the mods to step in futher before it gets out of hand and that is not what this discussion thread is about.

then bitch Top41 had her final say -

It's not about putting Carmine on a pedestal, it's about maintaining some decorum here. And the official warning comment stemmed from ----- comment to jolein, not her use of the silly nickname.Can we drop the issue now? Thanks.

Wellllll, that's BULLSHIT!!!!!! If you retrace the postings, then it IS about the nickname. So, I decided to see if I could do anything about it. I went to Carmine's band site - http://www.ceesau.com/ - also in my sidebar. I clicked on contact and was taken to their My Space site and sent them a letter.

I asked Carmine if he minded being called Carmie, told him of my friend's predicament, and asked if he could let her know if it was alright.

Well, Michael Brasic, the drummer and manager of their My Space page, answered me, and here's his reply -

Jewels, Carmine doesn't have enough hours in the week to check this page. My name is Michael and I'm the drummer in Ceesau I also monitor this page and answer all messages.

I'm sorry a pet name has caused so much drama for you and your friend! Personally,I can only attest to the following... No one calls Carmine "Carmie" that I'm aware of? I sometimes refer to him as "Carm" but most days he's just Carmine...

Carmine is a very kind and decent person, so I'm guessing he wouldn't mind your pet name? However his friends and family call him "Carmine" I do know one thing and that is that he would dislike the thought of anyone acting rude or unkind in regards to a "pet name given to him by a fan? I hope this helps clear up any questions you may have? Thanks for all your love and support!!XOXXOOXOXXOXM

Awwwww how sweet! Carmine doesn't mind. The thought of my friend being rudely treated for it would upset him more than the nickname himself! How really sweet! So while no one else calls him Carmie, so what! then it's no problemo if my friend calls him that out of love and respect.

Poor Carmine, I hope he laughs this off, cause my poor friend isn't. I've told her to throw in the towel like all before her, she's been a member for three years this year, but she wants to stay to support the show AND Carmine! That puts her between a rock and a hard place.

And let me tell you some other things she's told me. People have come and gone since she joined, and when she did, one member in particular was so completely rude to her it was repulsive. Their main complaint is that their opinions and thoughts were always ridiculed and scoffed at. They are insulted and demeaned, other posters think they have the right to treat them rudely and treat them like shit.

THAT'S WHY THEY LEAVE! So beware people, if you love CSI New York, don't become a member.

There was a thread made to find out why members didn't post about two years ago. The most common two complaints were, losing interest, and being treated badly. Well the mods at the time, Top41/Kristine Huntley being one of them, both said they were trying to change the way people treated each other.

BULLLLSHITTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That hasn't happened at all. In fact, my friend made a post late last year, and it was completely taken the wrong way and she was told off by the other mod, this one's new, Elsie. Well she contacted Elsie privately and made her statement, to which Elsie apologised for taking it the wrong way. And that's the main problem. Most people, including the mods, especially Kristine, take things the wrong way. So if your english isn't good, you can't make yourself understood, or you're very passionate with strong opinions and thoughts, then don't bother joining, it just makes it worse for you.

If you come from another country or have ways of doing things, then they will get shit all over too. Apparently one person's way of doing things is NOT RESPECTED on this site, as suggested by jolein. She claimed it was ''annoying people'', well the only person it annoyed was her. STIFF FUCKING SHIT!!!!!!!! And that's Aussie slang for ya bitch! The way we Aussies do things is our way, in no way disrespectful, and in no way any of your fucking business! If a nickname gets ya knickers in a knot then fucking well pull them out of ya arse and get over yourself!

Jolein has been a member since 2004, my friend joined in 2006, but so what, that doesn't give her the right to bitch about something that has NO-FUCKING-THING to do with her! A nickname is a nickname is a nickname! STIFF FUCKING SHIT! GET OVER YOURSELF BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So it would seem that if you love CSI: Vegas, Miami or New York, great, just don't go to the New York forum and join. It sucks!!!!!!

What the hell was Kim Watkins wearing today on channel ten's 9am????

I don't give a flying fat rats if the pink frilly dress she wore today was a Wayne Cooper or not, it was revolting, too frilly, and made her look like an old hag.

I also don't give a fat rats that it's the Loreal Fashion Week in Melbourne.

Wayne Cooper, you should be ashamed of yourself, making something like that for women to wear, but then YOU ARE SUPPOSEDLY a man, and apparently you don't treat women well, so what can we really expect from a man who beat up his girlfriend/wife/partner.

Kimmy, a word of advice, don't EVER wear that absolute piece of shit again!

Oh, and big Dave, you looked verrrryyyy spunky in black and grey!!!!!!!

Larry Emdur & David Reyne should co-host their own show and call it ''The Big Spunk Rats Show''. Oh, and a few other things.

Well, well, well, it would appear that Sunrise dumb-arse co-host David Koch, Kochy, or as I call him, David Kock, is back to his old tricks. That's if he even stopped. For the last few weeks, he's seemed to be reasonable with his smarmy smart-arse comments towards the girls, and everyone else for that matter. Unless I didn't notice because I was watching the Today Show.

However, this last week, he's been at it again. Being a general pain in the arse, especially the day he thought he could joke around with people's names. First he called Rebecca Romijn - (pronounced Romaine, like the lettuce), rom-ij-in, and generally pissed around with her name making a complete dick of himself. Then not half an hour later, after a story about Michael Bublè, he started calling him Michael Bubble. Now we now it ain't bubble, and so does the dickhead they let co-host, but he just thought he'd be funny.

And of course at the food and wine festival, he made some snide remark to someone to leave the wine for Mel.

Channel Seven, it's high time that you sacked the dumb arsehole called David. He's snide, smarmy, pathetic, stupid, and a whole host of other things. GET RID OF HIM!!!!!!!

Speaking of channel seven people. The Morning how co-host, Kylie Gillies, has stopped insulting poor, poor, poor Larry Emdur. A new friend of mine contacted The Morning Show and told Larry he should get rid of the insultive sarcastic cow that sat beside him, and team up with 9am's David Reyne, to form their own show, ''The Big Spunk Rats Show.''

She also emailed 9am, and told David the same thing, to get rid of Kim, and team up with Laz for their own show. I'd definitely watch.

It would seem that the day after the email, Kylie miraculously stopped insulting Larry, and hasn't since. Unless we've missed something, but I don't think we have. A week or so ago, she did tell Larry through very gritted teeth that, ''I'm not allowed to correct you.'' However, my friend said nothing of the nature, and so apparently she's not the only one who's complained about Kylie's tone towards Larry. She's been rude, sarcastic, insultive, critical, and a whole load of other things since the show started. Even day one of this year, she started in on Larry, and my friend finally had enough, so she emailed. And hence, no more rude comments to poor, poor, poor Laz.

Hip hooray for Laz, and for my friend.

Dr.Phil has his say on Octomum Nadya Suleman. When will he and his family go back to Texas and leave us all alone?

Well, I didn't think I'd be writing about this again so soon, but I had to throw my two cents back in when Dr.Phil decided to throw his two cents in. Although at this stage he seems to be throwing a hell of a lot more in. I'm talking about his say on the Octomum, Nadya Suleman. I was watching The View this week, when Phil popped up and they asked him about Octomum. He also had his say on Chris Brown and Rihanna, but we'll stick to the brainless chick with 14 kids for now.It seems that America's most interferring doctor has spoken to the Octomum, and made his comments about her mental stability. He believes she's a ''very intelligent, bright person, but has no grasp on reality''.

Well duh! We all coulda told you that!

What the hell she was thinking I don't know, but what the hell was he thinking by getting involved.

Well, Phil seems to have a habit of forcing himself on people where he may not be wanted, like poor, poor Britney Spears a couple of years ago. Phil actually went to the hospital to see her when she was rudely taken there because her mental stability was not stable.

Phil thought he could help, he only hindered. By getting himself on Entertainment Tonight more than Britney.

But now he's having a say on Octomum, and having her on his show this week I see.

God helps us all. We don't need the likes of Phil in this world. Okaayyy, some of you may need him because you're completely incapable of pulling your fat heads out of your fat arses and growing some brains and balls, but most of us are actually quite sane thank you very much.

No way Josè, I don't need Phil to interuppt my life cause he thinks he knows best. I don't need to see his wife Robin McGraw throwing herself at everyone. Either with her books, or her new journal, cd, or tote bags. She can damn well tote herself away back to the kitchen she came from. She was a nobody, just like Phil, but thanks to his fame and fortune she gets her way around Hollyweird more than he does. The next thing we'll hear about is her getting a new show of her own. And since Phil owns his show, and the new show ''The Doctors'' that he produces along with his son Jay McGraw, then it may not be too far away that we see the 55 year old Robin with her own talk show.

Oprah, look out! This is what you created, and now you can't stop it.

Liars, Gossipers and Perez Hilton! Can you pick who's telling the truth?

I'm blasting the shit out of gossipers today. Now while I gossip about people, I do not make things up! Perez Hilton, prize liar and gossiper does. Magazines such as New Idea, Woman's Day and a variety of others do.

I'm constantly reading stories about celebrities, and the magazines claiming ''a close friend'' or ''a source close to the celeb'' talked to them. It's a crock of shit. Absolutely! They don't talk to these people. They don't track down these ''sources'' or ''close friends'' and discuss their supposed friend's business. If they did, they wouldn't be a friend of the celeb. Like celebs want their besties to give away secrets. Of course there are those that do, merely for the attention they will get for it, but I'm sure they are few and far between.

Mags continually bombard us with story after story, week after week, about celebs and their secrets. Their private conversations - which I'm surprised the mags would find out about - their diets, their marriage woes, their children issues.

Week after week, the mags feed us the biggest load of bullshit! There is no way in hell, that they would get info from that close to the celebs.There's no way they would know, or have conversations with those around the celeb unless those people were after some money for themselves. And if that is the case, then I'm sure that the celeb will find out soon enough and boycott that so-called bestie.

One week a celeb is fat, the next, she's pregnant, the week after, her new diet regime to be anorexic. And God help the celeb if they're seen in the same photo with another celeb. Then they're dating, engaged, married, pregnant, seperating, divorcing, bickering about the children and dividing up the penthouses, mansions and fast cars. And all the celebs had the misfortune of was being in the same place at the same time.

Perez Hilton and other gossipers on the web and in mags and papers, make things up. Very obviously lately, Perez had Michelle Obama pregnant, then chopping her hair off, because in the pic he posted, it was short. It was only pinned up. Not chopped off. He writes about celebs by making up half, if not more, of the crap he spouts. A picture is his guide to what he slanders with. If someone isn't looking good, they're on drugs, just because their makeup's a bit white and powdery. It's pathetic. That people have to make things up to get attention. There are times he relies on other sources, but then you can't always trust what papers and mags write. Perez does!

Here's some news on his fantasy life and lies - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perez_Hilton True, you can't always rely on Wiki, but with a birth name of Mario Armando Lavandeira, Jr. you can't really trust a guy that likes to tell porkies, or looks like that, now can you?I rely on Entertainment Tonight. At least they actually go to the celeb themselves and get the story, instead of making it up. Good on ya E.T.

I don't buy magazines. I get them from my local library to stare at the pretty pictures. I don't read a lot of the stories they write because until I hear it out of the mouths of the celebs themselves, I don't believe a damn word of it. I know they make it all up. They all take a pic and tell a story that's not true. A U.K magazine was recently sued by Scarlet Johansen for making up such a story. They had a pic, made up what went with it. She wasn't happy.

What you do peoples is up to you. Do you believe what you read? Do you believe what gets written? Or do you wait until you hear it from the celeb?

A very gossipy Jewels.
