I’d Rather Have a Spinal Tap

Miscellaneous TV

Sure, Rob Reiner, Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer are funny guys and all, but their musical mockumentary, This Is Spinal Tap, only went to a 9. What it was missing was the comedic sensibility, timing, and dare I say brilliance of Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Christina Aguilera, and, of course, Sir Elton John.

Fortunately, VH1 is willing to tackle the subject of the fake band with Who Is Platinum Weird, which premieres July 5, 2006 at 6pm. For those of you who are out of lithium, this may be the perfect substitute. I myself got 4 cavities, had 3 seizures and got 7 vomit sessions during the above preview.

Enjoy.

    Ugh, couldn’t even finish watching that. Lindsay looks terrible, what happened to that poor girl?

    HoneyBunny, I always laugh when I think about Smell the Glove and the purported album cover. But wtf is this Platinum Weird nonsense?… On second thought, who cares?

    Is it just me, or is that Dan Aykroyd narrating?

    I am so over these attempts to make faux backgrounds for shows and such. Didn’t ANYONE learn their lesson after Blaire Witch Project?
