My, Those Ladies Love Their Lollies

Fri Jul 25, 2008 at 05:01:46 PM

As promised, the first of a few sneak previews from Lifetime's Fab Five: The Texas Cheerleader Scandal, which bows on the ladies-only network August 2 at 8 p.m. -- set your DVRs accordingly. Course, this is the fictionalized retelling of the McKinney North High School scandal involving the cheerleaders who were into "boozing, bikinis and bullying," the three keys to sisboombah success. (This is how the movie's fictionalized: The school's now Jackson High School, and principal Linda Theret is now called Lorene Tippit ... and played by Tatum O'Neal, score!) More footage to come next week; till then, get your lollipops ready. --Robert Wilonsky

Now this is why fiction > nonfiction.
Truly inspiring. Please score some interviews from these fine thespians.

As someone who followed this situation fairly closely, my I add that the REALLY entertaining part of this story wasn't the dynamic between coach and captain, but coach and principal.

The coach isn't the hero of this story, she's only the one that had a sugar daddy that would allow her to leave work long enough to sell her story rights to Lifetime. She's as big of an attention whore as the rest of 'em.

Add some skin and Sybil Danning and you might have a modern day Russ Meyer film. Minus the D cups, of course.

And this, friends, is why "some people just want to watch the world burn."

What bank did they rob to get those type of lollies?

God, I am glad I don't have Lifetime.

Colleen says:

As a mom of a cheerleader. All cheerleaders do NOT act like they do. If they were my daughters I would be very embarrassed. I dont encourage my daughter to act like that.
