Can They Have a Joint B-Day Party, Pleeeease?
I'd like to thank Twitter for pointing out to me that it's not one, but two, news-making ladies' birthdays on Tuesday. You'll be pleased to know (as I was) that Oct. 21 is the day that not only gave us queen of reality TV, Kim Kardashian, but the ever-sassy, all-knowing Judge Judy as well. Let us, our teen cousins, and smitten grandparents all rejoice for it is quite a wondrous day. Considering Kardashian knows just about everyone there is to know in Hollywood, that would include the world's wittiest judge as well, right?
OK, so maybe they don't actually know each other, but I'd like to think that they're friends. Such good friends, in fact, that they'd go in on a joint birthday bash. But, if you've ever caught an episode or two of either of their shows, you'd know that while fabulous, neither one is exactly easy going or low maintenance. They're people who know what they want and aren't afraid to express their opinions which can sometimes be unwarranted and a bit cutting. This is not necessarily a bad thing, it just might be when you're planning your birthday party together and neither of you wants to relent.
After all, Judge Judy is the person who coined this phrase:

Honestly, Kim. Does she look like a mermaid type of girl?

Judge Judy is peeved by Kim's selfie compilation, but she's trying to keep her opinions to herself for the sake of the fiesta.

It's a little over the top, even for them.

OK, OK. So maybe it's hard for the regimented Judge Judy to live in the moment. She's working on it.
WHEN KIM TRIES TO SURPRISE JUDGE JUDY WITH A MAKEUP ARTIST BEFORE THE BIG DAY
She was just trying to be nice. Jeeze.

Total humiliation. Judge Judy doesn't give a hoot though.

At the heart, they're the same. Just two gals taking over the world.
