Nicky Watson Spills Guts
posted by Ana Samways at 8:05 am
Nicky Watson says she hasn’t done herself any favours talking candidly for the woman’s magazines, but here she is thinking an hour long 20/20 programme will somehow do her image some good.
Watson is beautiful, yes, and sweet even. But she is as dumb as a post. Twenty-nine going on 19. Whose idea was it to make this documentary? Was she approached by 20/20 or did she come in wielding her wedding video and offering to get her nipples pierced live? Whatever the case her agent should have put the kibosh on this one. Or at the very least, made sure she kept her nungas under wraps for once.
If you missed last night’s expose, Nicky Watson – The Naked Truth, here are the highlights…
After having a photo opportunity at the races with Rodney Hide…
Voice (off camera): I think you made Rodney Hide’s day.
Nicky: Who’s that?
Voice: That short little dumpy guy…
Nicky: What does he do?
Voice: An MP and the Act Party Leader.
Nicky: Oh, Fuck!
To her Mum at the races…
Nicky: I just can’t believe I’ve got no knickers on.
On losing her virginity…
Nicky: I was a late starter and that was all thanks to my brothers (long awkward pause) …cause they showed me a lot of porn from a very young age and I just thought there’s no way I’m participating in that, that’s gross…I was three days shy of my 18th birthday.
On her breasts…
Hayden Jones (Gorrre reporter): Now your breasts. Are they real?
Nicky: Would you like to have a feel? (laughs). No they’re not real, they’re real expensive. Yes, I have had breast augmentation…The first at 21 because I was absolutely fascinated with big boobs and I got rid of that set and got a new set, which were tear drop shaped and the left hand one kept flipping upside down. That’s not a good look so I had to get them fixed …so I’m on my third, but these are round and they can’t flip.
On first laying eyes on Eric…
Nicky: I thought he was an old man, but still I was fascinated by him.
On Nicky and Eric…
Nicky’s Dad: She said he’s well-off and owns a Blue Star Taxi…she got a bit mixed up with Blue Star [Office] products.
Eric on shifting the wedding forward to his 40th birthday (from the party video resplendent with a Madonna impersonator doing Vogue and a Tina Cross number)
Eric: …Why spend the money twice, we’ve got 200 people coming tomorrow night. Let’s kill two birds with one stone. But more importantly I said why wait, we’re pretty sure about this, and Nicky agreed…
On her depression…
Nicky: Apparently I had a chemical imbalance in my brain…I got depressed in my marriage.
On her suicide attempt…
Nicky: [I took] a whole lot of Imovane. I got halfway through a note… a letter that was to Eric and Mum and Dad, trying to answer why I didn’t want to live anymore, but dildo me, I’d swallowed enough pills to send me unconscious and I never got to finish it…
On what the public thinks of her…
Hayden Jones asks her if people see her as a slapper and suggests she might bring it on herself a bit…
Nicky: Of course I’m partially to blame for the Nicky Watson creation.
The documentary ends with Nicky and her friend former Penthouse Pet Hayley-Marie Bryne getting their nipples pierced and Nicky with her newly pierced teat talking of her hope to have children.

Insert the word “topless” in there somewhere & watch your google entries go through the roof.

I watched it, I confess. I kept pretending to be watching another channel whenever my significant other walked into the living room. But, I was glued, like a moth to a porchlight. Why do we expect more from celebrity than their inherent banality and mediocrity? We all gravitate towards light and prettiness, and when these pretty lights are dimmed by silliness and immaturity, don’t we non-celebs feel smug and somewhat avenged? A good way to balance this prediliction for (or mild addiction to) tabloid shallowness is to watch Grumpy Old Men or Grumpy Old Women, or turn the telly off entirely. But, then we’re faced with our own banality and mediocrity, and I’d much rather criticise other people’s failings than take a long, hard look at my own.

“…didn’t want to live anymore, but dildo me, I’d swallowed enough pills…”
but dildo me?
what the hell?

As in “silly old me”.

here’s the video, for those, like me, who missed this enthralling piece of television the first time around.

As in “silly old me”.
aha. but still.

Cheers Noizy. Don’t gag on your Friday afternoon beer now..

I’d rather see Nicky Watson drop her guts than spill them.
July 8th, 2006 at 8:39 pm
Nicky was a “late starter” because she lost her virginity at 17?
Hooray! I feel like nun in comparison.

This is all a bit cruel really. I am sure Watson is a very nice person. Sure she appears a bit dim, but she has never pretended to be particularly smart. She is in the end very honest and real. Even confessing to her fake breasts.
Lets face it. I’d give her some IQ points of my own in return for those legs!
July 10th, 2006 at 9:01 am
Heh. Yeah, dim, but sincere. Eric Watson sure came across as creepy though.
July 11th, 2006 at 2:25 pm
I though that the 20/20 intereview was interesting. Shes a great girl, who’s been through alot. I have known Nicky personally for a few years and I can say nothing more but she is a simple girl with spice in her life. Shes fun, lovable and gorgeous.

Why is it whenever we are presented with an attractive big breasted woman we are suddenly compelled to label them “Dumb”? It’s one thing to be born beautiful, but another to use your looks to make money. Models aren’t the least bit stupid, they know how to sell an image, network, and if they are lucky they will make it in the “celebrity” circle they can manipulate the media to earn an easy $200k per year for not even a weeks work.

I’m not saying all models are dumb. That’s what you call going off the deep end. I am saying Nicky Watson is no rocket scientist and provide quotes as back-up for my opinion.
July 18th, 2006 at 8:36 am
Whaa…?
What’s the number to Nicky’s plastic surgeon?
July 19th, 2006 at 11:39 am
it would be nice if Nicky actually did something productive. but then i guess like a lot of celebrities they just live to see if they make the gossip pages in about town or metro. man some of those men are really old and ugly!!!

Distrurbing jumbr
