Revenge of the Ex

Shar Jackson, Marla Maples and Angie Everheart will be hosting “The Ex-Wives Club,” a new reality-lifestyle show, where the three will be joined by a few life experts to help the recently divorced get their groove back.  Sounds like a case of the blind leading the blind to me.  Everheart hasn’t had a splashy movie part in 10 years,  Jackson’s career has been held hostage by UPN, and Maples is barely a blip on the radar.  Getting life advice from this crew on bouncing back after a divorce is sort of like getting career advice from the guy who works the gravity ride at the state fair. “Yes, Nay-Bob, it does seem like a great job, but I think I want my benefits package to include more than unlimited corn dogs.”  Living well is supposed to be the best revenge, not living “alright in a sort of a limited way for an off night.” 

You have to check out Shar Jackson’s video interview on the subject of Britney and Kevin; it was the picture of class, dignity, and rise-above-it. She proclaimed Kevin one of her very best friends, had kind words for stepmonst..er, stepmother Britney Spears, and generally told the world that she doesn’t hold a grudge.  I can’t help but wonder who is her drama coach, because that act was better than all the work she did in her years as a Brandy sidekick on ‘Moesha.’  Come on, we all know, despite all that glad handing, that she would love to smack that man-stealing witch just once.
