Soundbite: Jane Velez-Mitchell Balances Living Simply With Success


velez_10-29“One of the main themes in Jane’s book, for those of you who have read it know, is Jane’s plea, if you will, for living a simpler life. Now I don’t know about you all, but to me if you host a national syndicated successful daily television show, write a bestselling book and you’re one of the most sought-after and active speakers in the entire CNN/HLN universe, that doesn’t sound very simple.”

Head of HLN Ken Jautz at the book party for Issues host Jane Velez-Mitchell last night in New York. Her book, “iWant: My Journey from Addiction and Overconsumption to a Simpler, Honest Life” is out this week and will debut on the New York Times Bestseller’s List. Velez-Mitchell spoke after Jautz, joking, “Fabulous concept: ‘Let’s have a cocktail party to celebrate a book about recovering from alcoholism.’” She later said of her book, “I really think that we’re helping, and it’s really thanks to everyone.”

    Boy, she does sound really busy, I guess that’s why she can’t find the time to apologize to the Duke Lacrosse team, huh? What about the Hofstra University debacle?
    JVM said: “She A young woman lured away from a party, tied up and brutally raped, allegedly by five men in a dormitory bathroom. Cops say all five of these sickos took turns raping her one by one.”
    As far as Jane was concerned these men (the “sickos”) were guilty, and they would have to prove themselves innocent, just so she can keep her “War on Women” spiel going.
    The “War on Women” thing is pathetic, and it shows how much of a hypocrite she is, when she rambles on and on about men disrespecting, abusing and killing women, but then she’s just fine and okay with Perez Hilton calling that Prejean woman a “b**ch” and a “c**t.” Pathetic, Jane.

    “Bomb Shell!” Earth Shattering!” “Explosive!” “Shocking!” “Seismic!” My God, why can’t she just TALK to the camera. Every word out of her mouth has to drip with drama and sensationalism. She has got to be the most annoying person in the news media.

    She is a thoroughly obnoxious, overbearing, inarticulate, screaming individual. A near-twin of Nancy Grace.
    Neither culture nor dignity ever crossed their paths. How completely “Amurcuhn” they both are.

    video

    After 95 episodes, the epic failure known as The Jay Leno Show airs its final episode tonight. Of course, Leno himself will be back after the Olympics, comfortably at 11:35pm all over again. Which was pretty much the problem to begin with - the 10pm offering started as a similar product to the Tonight Show, and only became more like the old format as time went on.
