I adore CJ Cregg Allison Janney. It was because of Allison that I watched some episodes of Mom over the break. I’m not sold on it, but Allison is a treat, especially when sparring with Mimi Kennedy or Octavia Spencer. Allison stopped by Ellen DeGeneres’ show to promote Mom, it was her 25th visit. Ellen asked her about her dating life. Allison is single, kind of famously so. She’s never been married and she doesn’t talk much about the people she dates. (She did date a guy who was 21 years younger than her a couple of years ago, but that ended at some point.) Allison confirmed that she was currently single, but expects that to change soon. How does she know? Her psychic keeps getting X-rated visions of Allison and some new guy she’s dubbed Hot Pants.
She explains:
I like to go see psychics. I went to the psychic and she kept seeing this man that was going to come into my life. She said, ‘I’m seeing a lot in the bedroom and I’m seeing a lot of things he’s doing to you… I’m just going to call him Hot Pants.’ So she’s called him Hot Pants. This was a couple of months ago and I still haven’t found Hot Pants. But I keep looking for him and it keeps making me do things I don’t usually do just like, I’m going to get the oil changed in my car because maybe Hot Pants will be there. It’s getting me out of my house, and I don’t know if that’s what she was really trying to do but I’m doing more things than I usually do. That’s why I’m here today, I’m like, ‘Are you Hot Pants? Are you Hot Pants?’
I had no idea psychics can see your sex life! It makes perfect sense now that I think about it but it never occurred to me. It also means I will not be visiting any more psychics out of the fear that if they saw my bedroom life, they’d laugh rather than blush. But I would 100% drag my ass out of the house every day if I knew Hot Pants was waiting for me. And now that it’s out there that Allison is looking, I’ll bet men crawl out of the woodwork everywhere she goes. Go get your Hot Pants, CJ!
Also in this segment, Allison shocked Ellen when she said she was 59 years old. Ellen was especially stunned because she was setting up a segment about how hot Allison looked in a red swimsuit photo spread (which she does). I enjoy Allison so much because even with her towering height, gorgeous mane of hair, sex appeal and talent, she’s relatable. When Ellen was going on about the photos, Allison admitted that she’s not comfortable in a bathing suit (to which I can completely relate) and that although that’s basically her in the photos, they’re retouched. Honestly, it doesn’t make the images any less hot.

Who goes to psychics anymore? Was it Miss Cleo?
I actually love “Mom”. It’s a fairly decent look at addiction and the havoc it can wreak but also the the baby step triumphs to sobriety. It’s very, very funny at times without losing the seriousness of the subject. I like the rappor between she and Anna Farris.
I like the camaraderie of the group of women. They bicker and hold grudges but they’re all there for each other.
Agree! I really like it as well. She and Anna have a great chemistry together – all the women do really.
A lot of people I know consult psychics. I am part Asian so yeah, these types of mysticism are commonplace. None of them are Whoopee Goldberg in Ghost types like that E psychic who sees dead people. They have very high accuracy rate. Of course take them with grain of salt.
The definition of a self-fulfilling prophecy
she’s a catch, imo
I was always skeptical of psychics till I decided to go to one last fall. I kid you not- EVERYTHING she said has come through. It’s so eerie how accurate she was. Basically it was about people in my life, the outcome of those relationships and my personal growth. I’m still in awe of it. It was a tarot carr reading. Tarot reading dates back to the ancient Egyptians. I think western civilization has tended to demonize other forms of divinity that don’t exactly fall into the Abrahamic paradigms of religion. I’m recently openining my eyes to other forms of divinity. And the accuracy of the psychic has really helped me do that.
Carrie and Ross from the “Oh No, Ross and Carrie” podcast just went to a psychic and talked about their experiences. They had less-than-accurate experiences. Hilarious.
I thought she was older than 59. She looks amazing for 59, I just thought she looked f*cking amazing for being early 60’s. I have no idea why I thought she was older.
She’s the reason I watch Mom. I like the show but she makes it even better.
A coworker has a great story about a psychic. Back in the late 1970s in Boston, there was a hippy card store and above it was a tearoom with psychics. The staircase from the tearoom came down into the card store. She went with friends to get their palms read. The psychic told her that she would meet her future husband very soon. She laughed and told the psychic that she had no intention of marrying anyone ever. She’s been married now over 40 years to a guy she met in the card shop on her way out of the tearoom. They invited the psychic to the wedding.
I’ve been to psychics over the years. Sometimes in desperation because life felt like it was going nowhere but usually for a good distraction/laugh.
I have been told I’m having a baby boy, I’m going to have 3 kids, I’m moving house, I’m changing careers etc etc. And while all that is lovely and interesting to ponder, not a great deal is profound to me. It’s always so generic and close to a simple truth that it’s like yeah OK, I could have told you that. P.S I have one child, a daughter. ha!
I did have a friend who went to one and she was really struggling with fertility and she came out of the reading crying. A girl by the end of the year and everything they’ve worked for will happen at once. On this occasion, she gave birth to a healthy baby girl conceived naturally and closed escrow on a house the same week. That made me consider it a little…
Hot Pants = Liam Neeson.
