First she laughed at her nickname. Then she acquired a mug with her likeness on it.
But now Julie Chen has gone too far. She admits that she watches the live fees from the Big Brother house.
“I’ll have the feed on when I’m getting ready for the show. I catch myself watching it but I can understand why people waste hours during the day not doing their work,” Julie Chen tells the Sioux City Journal. At first, she says, “I didn’t but then my director from ‘The Early Show’ will say, ‘Oh, my god. These people are crazy. You’ve got to get in here and check this out.’”
What’s next? Is she going to start live blogging the show while she hosts it? Does she just want our jobs, or to be friends with those of us who mock her and the show? Or is she just, like, a good-natured human being who is as fascinated by the weirdness as we are?
