Janet Street-Porter is a rather well-known British journalist and TV personality who, like just about everyone else who's achieved a modicum of recognition over there, has also participated in many reality shows -- most awesomely, one by the name of Call Me A Cabbie. At first I was hoping this was a high-stakes contest in which you have to call people some taxis -- possibly while some toothless, grizzled dispatcher cracks a whip against your leg and screams, "WHAT'S THE HOLDUP? IS YOUR DIALING FINGER HURTING? [crack] DON'T YOU DARE USE SPEED DIAL, YOU LAZY GIT!" -- but in fact, the program was just about her and two other people undergoing tests and timed challenges in order to see if they could ever become a cab driver in London.
Perhaps she should have stuck with that profession; the makeshift uniform might have prevented this.
She looks like an impatient extra on the set of ZAP!, a steamy straight-to-video flick about aliens who come to Earth to plunder our natural resources and our supply of Pringles, only to discover that beach parties are way more fun on our planet. We're pretty sure Bai Ling and the Peldons would be in it.
