Sons of Anarchy creator blasts Emmy snub, mocks Glee

This is part of the reason I don’t tweet much. I’ve gotten into trouble in the past bitching about people who have done me wrong. (And we’re talking once, but that was back when you could still search on deleted tweets so the person found it anyway.) Sons of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter took to Twitter to complain that his show was snubbed by the Emmy nominating committee. He called them old and joked that they screwed him out of a threesome with his wife, the show’s star Katey Sagal, who had “promised me a threesome if we won.” Then he went on to mock Glee and sort-of try to take it back. Classy.

After the Emmy noms were announced this morning, Kurt Sutter went to Twitter and fired off the following:

“The worse part of not getting an emmy nod. katey [his wife] promised me a threesome if she won. now i have to settle for me, her and the shaved bunny.”

“Best part of not getting an emmy nod. now i don’t have to pretend i give a s**t about the profiteering douchebag academy … because you know if we were nominated i’d be all humble and blowing smoke up their asses. now i can stay true to myself and just be a d**k.”

He continues with a joke — “These two academy member walk into a bar. one orders a beer. then they both die because they’re so f**king old.”

And … “If my mom and dad were alive this emmy snub would kill them. that’s not true, they were too old to understand my show. just like the academy.”

Sutter also took aim at “Glee” … writing, “f**k glee. hate those annoying, ‘please accept me for who i am’, singing brats. there, i said it. are you happy?”

He went on to explain, “I love ryan murphy ['Glee' creator]. he’s always very cool with me. love glee too. just tired of all the j**z piling up at its feet.”

Later he tweeted “you do know that i’m really okay with no noms right? if i was really upset, i wouldn’t be ranting. i’d be plotting. i’m all about the love” and followed up with “those who got the joke, laughed. those who didn’t, published a story. so sad that greedy media whores must turn good fun into nasty business.” It’s all our fault for paying attention to what he wrote, an argument so many celebrities have used before ad nauseum. Way to write about the same people who help promote your show.

I tried to get into Sons of Anarchy. I didn’t start from the beginning though, I started from season three, watched about four episodes and just found it too hard to keep up with. It was complicated and hard to follow. Compare that to Boardwalk Empire, which I also didn’t start watching until mid-season. There’s a lot of mobster stuff going on with that show and I’ll be honest some minor plot details were lost to me, but I could still watch it and find it entertaining. Sons of Anarchy frustrated me, but I did enjoy what I saw, just not enough to care what happened next or keep watching. Maybe it’s just not everyone’s cup of tea, it doesn’t have to do with people being too “old” to enjoy it. You wouldn’t expect a whiny bitch like Sutter to get that though. He has much more in common with Ryan Murphy than he thinks.

Trista Sutter advertises permanent birth control through US Weekly

Trista Sutter, 36, was the first and most successful contestant on the Bachelorette. She married the hot poet firefighter she met on the show in a televised wedding in 2003, Ryan Sutter, 34, and they now have two children together and live in Colorado. Trista just had her second baby, a daughter called Blakesley Grace on April 3. Trista and Ryan also have son Maxwell Alston, who turns two in July. The two aren’t wasting time figuring out their plans for future birth control. Trista just announced that she’s going to get a probably heavily sponsored sterilization procedure in which she has inserts put in her fallopian tubes from a company called Essure. The company’s rep was all too willing to confirm the news to US Weekly:

The former Bachelorette star — who is also mom to Max, 20 months, with husband Ryan — has signed up for a permanent birth control procedure called Essure, the company’s rep confirms to Usmagazine.com.

“Now that we have the two healthy children we always dreamed of, Ryan and I have decided that our family is the perfect size, and we want to devote our time and energy to them,” says Sutter, who has suffered birth complications, including gestational diabetes and preeclampsia.

Essure is a minimally-invasive procedure performed in a doctor’s office in about 10 minutes, the rep explains to Us. Small, flexible micro-inserts are placed within a woman’s fallopian tubes through the cervix without incisions. Over the next three months, the body forms a natural barrier around the micro-inserts to prevent sperm from reaching the egg. The procedure — which 250,000 women have undergone — is 99.8 percent effective.

“It’s a safer, nicer way to go about a permanent birth control,” the rep says, adding that Sutter will probably have the procedure this June.

Adds Sutter: “After looking at all my options I realized that Essure is the best fit for me and my lifestyle. I like it because the procedure can be performed in my doctor’s office without general anesthesia, and the quick recovery means I can get back to my life and my family right away.”

Trista told Life & Style in October when she announced her pregnancy that this was the last one for her and that she would probably get her tubes tied afterwards. I bet that’s when this company approached her about being a spokesperson.

This story gives me pause because it definitely sounds like a paid ad. I’m also skeptical of this type of birth control because I have friends who have had problems with permanent and semi-permanent birth control shots and inserts. One of my friends gained over 30 pounds after getting the Depo-Provera shot and it really seemed like her whole personality changed. She became depressed and withdrawn and it didn’t seem like a coincidence. Another friend actually got pregnant while on Depo-Provera. And a third used the now-outlawed Norplant arm inserts and experienced permanent scarring.

This is not Depo-Provera or Norplant but I can’t help but think it carries similar risks. (Update: this is non-hormonal and different than both of those methods, see below.) Trista needs to make some cash, though, so she’s promoting this procedure, which will probably work out fine for her. A lot of people appreciate birth control you don’t have to remember to take every day and it works well for them. Does it cross a line when a reality show celebrity advertises a pharmaceutical type product in a gossip magazine? It’s as good a place as any by some estimates as they also seem to have those covert ads for luxury items and high end body care products. Hopefully this isn’t just birth control sway for Trista and she’s earning some money for promoting this.

Update: Thanks to Nony and Wendie and everyone who pointed out that Essure is non-hormonal and works like having your tubes tied by causing scar tissue to form in the fallopian tubes. I should have looked this up and am sorry for confusing it with hormonal methods of semi-permanent and permanent birth control.
