'What Not to Wear' Star Blasts Fellow TLCer Palin

By Rob Shuter Posted Dec 30th 2010 03:00PM

'What Not To Wear' fashion guru Clinton Kelly has come out blazing against fellow TLC star Sarah Palin, saying he wasn't thrilled when he heard that the ex-governor would be doing what he calls an "eight-hour info-commercial on my network." Sources tell me Clinton isn't the only star at TLC who wants nothing to do with the right-leaning politician.

"Kate Gosselin isn't very fond of her either, especially after spending several days taping an episode" of her show, 'Sarah Palin's Alaska,' sources tell me.

Sitting down with Joy Behar and myself a few days ago on her hit new HLN show, 'The Joy Behar Show,' Clinton didn't hold back when it came Sarah.

"She basically stands for everything I don't stand for or I'm against," Clinton said. "So, it's a little bit rough. What bothers me the most about her is her hypocrisy, and you know, I'm trying to be funny, but I can't think of a joke."

After Joy made it clear that she wanted her guests to say how they feel rather than crack jokes, an emotional Clinton continued, "Look at nature. Look at this beautiful Alaska. Look at how beautiful everything is. Let's go kill something because we need some meat in the refrigerator."

Oh well. Clinton better get used to sharing TLC with Sarah -- sources told me last week the network is trying to get her to sign on for a second season.

What makes yours worth anything?

By MAGOOS

It would be impossible to share anything with an ego like Palin. Everybody is waking up to her hypocrisy and drivel.

By irene

please give examples of this rgo that you indicate. I would like to read what the heck you are talking about. Saran Palin is so much like most of my down to earth frinds is so uncanny so you got me when you wrote that.

The same people like Clinton Kelly who are upset palin killed a carabou for its meat are the same people who are all for taking a fetus that is sucking its thumb in the womb and aborting it, and throwing it, eyes, hands, brain, ears, feet, kidneys, toes and all, in the garbage, for a woman's "choice". Nice leather jacket, Clinton. Nice leather shoes too.

I just read that we (the USA) rank 17th in math.....23rd in science.....and 31st in reading.
Now I know why Failin Palin has so many followers/supporters.

By Ge0ffrey

Most of the people with the failing grades live in inner cities and they vote Democrat.

maybe instead of watching crap like "what not to wear" more people should watch shows that actually have some educational value. At least Sarah's show informs people of the culture, wildlife and environmental aspects of one of our states. And yes, that particular culture involves lots of people who hunt their own food.

By Ed

Hey dimbulb - Why do think that is and I'm bettin' that you're in all of those statistics you just quoted. Let me guess. You're a lib. Really tough to sniff that one out.

By Janet

First off Clinton does not own anything.Second, it's laughable when he refers to Joy Behr's show as a BIG hit. Third, who really gives a crap what Gosselin thinks.

By kirakata

Palin's worth about 12 million bucks, so she doesn't have to shoot anything to feed her family. I haven't watched the show--the promos alone are off-putting, especially when she's screaming about TRANQUILITY!!

are you sure on Sarah Palins worth and even though I may have money I am used to certain food ways and stick to those and after watching her and reading her book, it seems that they are and have been eating certain food since birth and are used to it. second it is a way of life and Sarah's husband is a native American Indian and Sarah has adopted those ways into her life and wants her children to learn those ways as well. If you watched the shows or read any of her books you would understand that just like I want my children not to lose their foodways or life skills from their grandmother. it is not a secret it is just simple life.

By BH

Right Kirakata,
I totally agree with you. Also, in the promo, she brags about how much better being out in the wilderness is than, "being in some old, stuffy political office." So, she is basically putting down her whole political career and other politicians and she will really make herself look even more ridiculous if she does try to run for any other political office again (let alone for president!!!)

She needs to get a CLUE! She really doesn't have one that's for sure...

By Alexandria

Kate Gosselin doesn't like Sarah Palin?? Oh now there is someone's opinion I would follow??? Please! And Clint- many people do not like you either, so should TlC get rid of you?k We don't give a rat's behind about your liberal polictics.

By dee oakley

Jealous is word for Kate, Clinton, the list is building to even include those who have never met Palin. The very thing they convict Palin "judging" they are doing. I guess it only applies to Fox supporters who know what is really going on.

By Raroe15

Is this guy serious? I am honestly laughing audibly. He uses as a platform his "fame " and then invokes that paragon of gravitas Kate Gosselin topped off by the intellectual stylings of the barely coherent Joy Behar. This is so good you have to laugh and enjoy it. Since it is "his" network he should have no trouble having his way.

By huffanpuff40

The more people slam Sarah Palin, the more i like her. She is more down to earth than most people.

By marilyn

I like Kelly on WNTW...he is a good stylist, period. He has no business criticizing Sarah Palin about anything. He should stick to his field of expertise and Palin's to her's. Although I think it's really stupid Palin has a reality show int he first place to be honest. It only gives opposition more ammunition for criticizing...Behar is a LIBERAL and only has LIBERALS on her show. She has no variation whatsoever on lifestyle, politics, attitudes from her own.

By Cherie

I never heard of Mr Kelly before this. So he doesn't like Sarah? Too bad. The episodes of her show that I've seen, I've enjoyed. Fabulous landscapes, different aspects of life because Alaska is so vast and not overpopulated. The family gets a bit hokey or too silent and perhaps Sarah fills in too many segments with personal explanations BUT I still enjoy her.

By J.B.W.

If you dont have anything nice to say,SHUT UP!

The only thing hypocritical here is that it seems to be fine with all the libs when somebody other than Sarah Palin kills animals for them to eat or wear, but when she does it they find it offensive. NEWS FLASH!!! If you eat it or wear it, SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE KILLED IT!
