I think Jaclyn Smith should get an MRI or something

Can't stop laughing...

Op, is this real?

Mom!! Get off the internets! LOL.

It is real. I just spent several minutes goofing off at work to scroll back to those dates to verify. There's lots of inanity on that Twitter account.

This can't be for real!

Reading twitter posts of some people in show business ruins one's image of the person and diminishes respect for the person -

because of the inanity of so many of their posts.

So twitter posts do harm to people such as Jaclyn Smith who comes across as an imbecile.

Her name for her cata is very asinine and to repeat is six times calls into question her mental stability.

Plus anyone who dwells on cats in their twitter posts is right away moronic.

I'm not sure why, but the subject title of this post alone is hysterical. Bravo, OP

What a ridiculous name for a cat.

LMAO

My cat's name is Mittens.

Jaclyn Smith is a television goddess! "The American Look, How It Can Be Yours" by Jacklyn Smith is one of my most prized tomes. If you like Joan Crawford's "way of life" you may appreciate Jaclyn's as well. I am not yet brave enough to try her sparse, terrifying diet that does not allow for calories.

All of my respect for Jaclyn Smith is gone upon reading her Bootsie Gumdrops twitter posts.

She used to call my balls Bootsie Gum Drops.

r13 you are hilarious!!!!!!

I hope she is okay.

It makes perfect sense if you read them last to first, in the order she posted.

OP, I'm more worried about you.

lord this was funny

I'm adding her to my facebook page

She is an animal rights activist and is just pushing the idea of shelter adoption...but really, Jackie, come up with a new way of saying it...

Well in that case I'll name my next cat Beamish.

How about a LINK?

Jesus - this is priceless!

Oh, good lord, there is one more!!

[quote]Bootsie Gum Drop was a rescue. I don't know her original name. 23 Sep

Acoording to one "twit" - Her first pet was a shelter "can" - which while unusual, does not surprise me in the least.

Did someone ask for a link?

the thread title literally had me LOLing. Well done, OP for bringing this matter to our attention.

I committed suicide.

Allergic my ass.

It make Jaclyn Smith sound like quite a nutcase.

No wonder she could never keep a husband.

Does she have health problems?

[quote] Does she have health problems?

Patsy, I'm 64!

I think my next boyfriend will be nick-nmed "Bootsie Gum Drops". Of course, that relationshop won't last long after the first utterance of that term of endearment, so I shall call the boyfriend after next by his given name.

I love you OP. Truly one of the funniest posts I've read in a long time.

OP follows tweets from Jaclyn Smith and SHE needs an MRI?

The MRI is needed to explain why she's a Republican.

MRI? Clearly she needs a CAT scan, darling.

Dennis Cole did a lot of beefcake. Was he a 'mo?

All right, which one of you cunts Twatted to Jaclyn Smith and just prompted this?

[quote]Robert, We don't have any cats now. My husband is allergic. My first cat was a shelter cat and I named her Bootsie Gumdrops. I loved her. 30 minutes ago

ROFLMAO! Is she a robot?

Maybe it's a coded message for her dealer!

She's been off the radar for years.

Omg too fucking funny

Well now it looks like she's not only off the radar but completely off the rails!

Because jellicle cats do and jellicles can.

Can someone suggest she get a hypoallergenic cat?

I had all but forgotten about this thread and Jaclyn Smith and her crazy tweetering about Bootsie Gumdrops. This has helped raise my holiday cheer level, which at the moment, is well into the red.

I am dying at this thread.

OP, you rule.

Today, a creepy tweet from Jaclyn:

[quote]Wave to children on school buses.

Can somebody who's on Twitter tweet Jaclyn with a cat question to see if she brings up Bootsie Gumdrops again?

She forgot to feed me and now I haunt her wig stand.

There is no such thing, r45. The allergen is an enzyme in the cat's saliva, which gets on their skin/fur when they groom themselves. And then it dries and flakes off and the allergic person inhales it. Every cat has that enzyme and every cat (even the hairless ones) groom themselves. And the dander is microscopic - it goes right through any and every filter.

Odd twats but I think everyone on Twitter sounds crazy, spewing out these completely random thoughts.

Cat saliva has a poison in it. If a cat bites a bird and you take the bird to a rescue organization, they absolutely must give the bird antibiotics. If they don't, the bird will do marvelously, it's wound will heal and you'll feel wonderful and then it will drop dead. Seriously. Fourteen days or so after being bitten by a cat, all birds will die if they do not get antibiotics.

She is 66 years old. It's not too young for Alzheimer's or any other kind of dementia.

What about my pussy?!

I'm going ask a friend to twitter at Jaclyn asking her if she has any name suggestions for my friend's new kitten.

I think Jaclyn should start a pet line for Kmart. With her clothing line selling so well it makes sense to extend the brand. "BODACIOUS" by Bootsie Gumdrops, pampering pet accessories at Kmart!

I had to google to find this thread as I saw it referenced in the CAs thread.

I always tell people that Jaclyn Smith is my favorite designer.

Didn't her ex-husband Dennis Cole die? He was very good-looking and I wanted him.

Yes, Dennis died.

"MRI? Clearly she needs a CAT scan, darling."

ROFL!!!

My first husband was a shelter husband. I named him Dennis Gumdrop, he was gorgeous, I loved him.

OMG this is the best laugh I've had all week. Here I was thinking Ms. Jac's most embarrassing work was being the host of "Shear Genius".

Bumping for a timeless classic thread.

I don't see any mentions of Bootsie Gum Drops lately, but Jaclyn does seem to be honoring her tradition of Twitter repetition:

Jaclyn Smith ‏@realjaclynsmith 4 Sep If you spend a lot of time outdoors, don’t skimp on your sunblock.

Jaclyn Smith ‏@realjaclynsmith 3 Sep Men out there need a day cream with sunblock too, not just us girls.

Jaclyn Smith ‏@realjaclynsmith 3 Sep Even though the weather is getting cooler, it’s important to use a day cream with sunblock to block both UVA and UVB rays.

[quote]Bootsie Gumdrops -- get me off this crazy train!

I love you, R43.

This a thread that's hilarious but I'm still calling cunt for the OP or whoever bumped it up.

I don't think she's crazy but probably just drunk tweets and repeated herself.

I think it's hilarious. Thanks to whomever bumped it!!

love. this. OP.

I can't imagine an actress today of similar age who could possibly project the level of class,elegance, supreme beauty and mid-Atlantic style sophistication Jaclyn effortlessly displays here...it's like she's from a different planet.

Martini & Rossi...it's perfect for pah-ties.

Well, she definitely does make me want to try to the product with a secret hope that some of the alluring elegance she brings to it will rub off on me, so commercial success reached!

The way she says "yes"! hyhhheeehhhsss

Bumping this timeless classic in honor of Jaclyn's dramatic appearance at the trial over Warhol's Farrah Fawcett painting today!

This thread almost makes me laugh as much as the MichFest threads do.

We should all tweet that sentence back to her.

Wait... is the twitter name bootsiegumdrops taken?

UPDATE - BREAKING NEWS: Beyoncé is officially over a million copies of her latest in just 3 days. Woo-hoo. Gurl workin' it for sure.

I love that there are DLers monitoring Jaclyn Smith's Twitter account.

It takes a village, people.

She's at it again!!

[quote]Jaclyn Smith ‏@realjaclynsmith 5 minutes ago Happy #NationalCatDay. My 1st cat was Bootsie Gumdrop. I would hv more now, but my husband is allergic.

Her portrayal of Florence Nightingale was laughably bad.

Today on Jackie's FB -- a post about Bootsie! I immediately thought of the DL.

"Happy National Cat Day. My 1st cat was named Bootsie Gumdrop - then Powder Puff, Tiger Lilly, Josephine and Glitter. I would have many more now, but my husband is allergic."

Every time I forget about this thread, someone bumps it thereby GIVING ME LIFE.

This is the best thread of DL

Accomodations MUST be made for her pussy.

Time Line photo

Bootsie Gumdrops was my nickname for that entitled bitch-Jaclyn

This is all so silly ... It's just my head ... This is all so silly ... It's just my head ...

I wonder if Bootsie has ever defecated on Farrah Fawcett´s front lawn?

Bootsie bump

Jaclyn turned 70 today. She says on Facebook she's spending it with her family.

....and Bootsie Gumdrops!

This is the best thread ever...I am crying with laughter.

That's not so weird. Several DL posters have similar canned phrases which describe the major plot points of their lives. I think it's caused by trauma or something.

This has become a DL Classic along with guy (fussy john) who opened fridge door and was missing freshly churned butter and home made bread. Has that thread been deleted?

I have it on good authority that Ms. Smith bounces around the house singing, "I'm all about the Bootsie, 'bout the Bootsie, 'bout the Bootsie. . ."

She has her guest house on airbnb, wish i could afford it...expensive @ 450.00 a night.

OMG wheezing with laughter. I think it's a fur ball.

Rotfl OP, Who even trolls and does research on Jaclyn Smith's Twitter? Honey, get a hobby or laid.

OP died three years ago, Mom.

OCD. Zoloft helps.

What was the last actual performing that Jaclyn did that involved the memorizing of lines, the creation of a role? She has her days full with her brands, but there are so many of her contemporaries that, well, I think of the old saw "an actor acts" and if you apply that, those ladies aren't really actresses anymore.

She was great in Shear Genius but that was almost 10 years ago already.

I always thought she was the prettiest angel

Wasn't SHEAR GENIUS reality and not scripted? We really "lost" a lot of ladies of a certain age when the made for TV movie died. What are: Joan Van Ark, Connie Selleca, Veronica Hamel, Pam Dawber, Pamela Bellwood, Pamela Sue Martin, Ann Jillian, Nancy McKeon, Loni Anderson...and so many others doing to fill their days?

Lynda Carter sings and is a Washington wife. I miss Elizabeth Montgomery.

And what is that movie where Veronica Hamel gets kidnapped by the terrorists? Veronica also appeared in "Home Invasion" and "Baby Snatcher". Title tells all!

I can see it now, Jaclyn on the sofa, cuddling her shelter can.

"How long has it been since you've been spayed?"

I read r81 as

[quote] Today on Jackee's FB -- a post about Bootsie! I immediately thought of the DL.

I thought Miss Harry had joined us in monitoring Bootsie mentions.

It's not just her cats...

This thread needs to be continually bumped.

BUMP.

R104, don't forget about another made for TV movie veteran... Lindsay Wagner!

Wait a minute, OP. So, you're saying her cat's name was Bootsie Gumdrops?

I love jaclyn smith's skin care line. I swear by it!

It probably is not a genuine Jaclyn Smith account.

Someone is impersonating Kelly? I bet it's... Lois Chiles.

Gotta be Shelly Hack. She's a meanie.

Her Twitter is verified -- it's her.

Oh Bootsie Gumdrop

DL icon, shelter cat

Thanks, crazy Angel

R21 knows her Charlie's Angels.

A wicked thought, m'dear ;)

Bootsie Gumdrops... The DL mascot.

If she married her cat, the would be Pussy 'n' Bootsie.

Why do people feel the need to twitter?

Just a note that lots of celebrities' twitter and social media accounts are actually administered by paid assistants. It was revealed that George Takei actually has paid writers to update his Facebook and social media accounts. So the weird impersonal tone and the generic magazine type personal advice ("Don't forget your sunblock" "Use moisturizer" "Get that mammogram" etc.) all point to a publicist ghosting this stuff for her. If it was Jaclyn herself posting she might actually have some personal reminiscences about "Bootsie Gumdrops". But this thread is fun, so let's keep it up!!

The question is this: Who still bothers to follow Jaclyn Smith???

Hair enthusiasts? Fans of twirling to face the camera?

R123= Beamish

Amen R124 darling!!!

R123 I do

This is what happens to any man who snickers at my pussycat.

She has Alzheimer, she forgets what she has tweeted before.

I'd say the pressure is finally getting to her, but what pressure?

Does she even have a cat?

Bumpy Gumdrops

Why"Bootsie", and not "Bootsy" Gumdrops, like Bootsy Collins? Since they are homophones, the spelling was a deliberate choice.

OP is too stupid to know that isn't the real Jaclyn Smith. I wonder how the hell you live with your gullibility.

r134 put down the bottle and take you meds asswipe.

R135 get a brain.

Jaci's let the fuggliest Republican evah go deep inside her for nearly 20 years. He made a pathetic congressional bid in 2014.

OMG!!!!! Patsy Ramsey's Foreign Faction has Bootsie Gumdrops!!!!

Yasss

A bump from six months ago to say some trannie word?

Bitch, I am still your cat! Get the fuck of the computer and fill my bowls!

I started laughing so hard that I started to choke and then I was choking so much that I ran to the sink because I thought I was going to throw up from laughing and choking at the same time. OP - the title of this thread is pure genius. Threads like this are why I love DL.

The one and only Bootsie Gumdrops:

Grab them by the Bootsie Gumdrops!

The beginning of a classic DL meme.

Do you think Bootsie was cremated or buried?

Her dog's name is Honeybun. Wow

Get your head examined Kelly.

Jaclyn must have hit her head filming this catfight scene from Season 1 of "Charlie's Angels". She hasn't been the same since then.

Has anyone seen my fiance? ....we had our engagement photo taken, then poof he's gone

R150 for President!

At least she'll always have the ORIGINAL "Bootsy Gumdrop".

OMG, R152, I can't believe that clip!!! I'm the OP, and I love that this thread still gets bumped after six years!

Bootsie Gumdrops was stuffed?? I thought she was a shelter animal.

Should've known. In the '40s they didn't know from "shelter animals"

A writer rips Jaclyn and her limited acting skills in a very bitchy article. I like her, but can't really disagree much with the writer. She was lucky she was very beautiful and likeable.

Either she named an actual cat after her stuffed cat or KMart had her change the story to be a charming, commercial-friendly anecdote. After all, you can't sell your Christmas collection with "I had a cat named Bootsie Gumdrops i loved very much. My husband is allergic."

She was just in that movie with Katherine Heigl and Rosario Dawson.

That article at R155 -- ouch! But yeah, you can't really disagree. Her most prominent personality trait is her vagueness.

That was Shelly Hack, R157. Close enough.

Girls, girls, you're both dumb cunts. It was Cheryl Ladd.

At least it wasn't Tanya Roberts.

Hahahaha. I feel dumber than Jaclyn right now.

Jaclyn is truly a terrible actress. But she's so beautiful that you can almost forgive her for being so rotten. Almost.

I do recall that at one point, she was in talks to play Gene Tierney, in a TV movie based on Gene's autobiography. All I can say is that I'm grateful that nothing came to fruition...

[italic]The Gene Tierney Story[/italic] starring Jaclyn Smith. Talk about a movie made just for DataLoungers.

I exclusively wear her 'Foxy Frau' line from Chinamart

She may be a rotten actress, but she was smart enough to brand herself and earn lots of money doing it. Wish I had had her breaks and luck...

What do you think is Jaclyn's career defining performance?

A. Kelly being tormented by memories of Bemish

B. Kelly battles being shot up with heroin (and a sad case of frizzy hair)

C. Kelly vs hissing, knife wielding drag queen Margo

D. Her infamous L&O: SVU guest appearance

R167, how could you leave off her getting shot in the head? Twice?!

"Kelly, this is Charlie, (HI,CHARLIE), now get your fatass out to Petco and buy that adorable cat 10 jumbo bags of expensive Blue Wilderness Cat Kibble"

R168 Oh yeah, and was left without any scarring from it as well!

I liked her as "Florence Nightingale", in the miniseries. Who knows? She might have been great at Gene Tierney, if the TV movie was well written. John Erman could have directed it. He is superb with actresses and he's a favorite of Ann-Margret.

Is she becoming a cat lady?

I always thought Bootsie Gumdrops was some DL joke.

I just found out her hubby Dr. Brad Allen ran for the U.S. House of Rep. in 2014 & lost. He came in 4th out of 5 Republican candidates.

The vote totals for the Ca 24th district were

1 = Mitchum =15.4%

2 = Fareed = 14.7%

3 = Francisco-= 12.0 %

4 = Allen = 6.4% (6573 votes)

5 = Stuart = 0.5%

Does anyone know what his position on marriage equality was when he ran?

Jacklyn endorsed him as a great caring candidate so I was curious how caring he was towards us.

The district has been going in a liberal direction since 2013.

I enjoyed her on Sheer Genius on Bravo

Meanwhile she won't ever check in on Kate Jackson, who is dying a slow, painful death.

Jaclyn has tons of money, and can't even look in on her old friend? I know Cheryl Ladd hated Kate Jackson, but Jaclyn said they remained good friends.

Jaclyn's answering questions live right now on Twitter, so you've finally got your chance to ask her whether she and Beamish every patched things up! Or to clarify whether it's Bootsie Gumdrop or Bootsie GumdropS.

She stands out.

This was one of the best DL threads ever.

Who got Bootsie Gumdrops as their new Authenticated Name?

Jaclyn's taken to answering questions on Instagram and we need to mobilize a coalition of Dataloungers to volley a phalanx of Bootsie related questions her way.

Did she bury Bootsie Gumdrops in the ol' pet sematary?

I blame her ugly Kmart clothes line for her mental demise. I'd be crazy too if I gave my name and image to a soul-sucking dead department store. Then naming my cat Bootsie Gumdrops.

R180 I think we should bombard her with Kate Jackson questions

Does her pussy stink?

R184, I guess if it stinks, she can name it Pussy Cumdrops!

Funny, my first cat was named Booty Cum Drops

Maybe we should all ask her on Twitter where she got her first cat and what its name was.

How many Bootsie Gumdrops has she gone through?

One of the great threads.

But I do wonder now, in January 2021, when Bootsie Gum Drops Prime croaked, and if indeed it sits in freeze-dried presence while Bootsie Gum Drops III sits licking his paws after spraying his predecessor's mummy in cold contempt.

Jaclyn has not come out of her room for two days. She just keeps saying loudly through the door, "I'm fine! I'm fine!" The assistant no longer cares.

Lick, lickity lap.

Jaclyn is now shilling baby wigs on her Instagram with her daughter and granddaughter. Hope this link works.

Honestly, for being as plastic as she is, Jaclyn looks pretty good.

Ah, one of my most favorite threads!

I wonder how comfortable a face full of fillers feels. Do you no longer feel it after awhile?

She looks pretty good? She's a hawt mamacita.

Fuck! I've been coming to the DL for over a decade.

Maybe I should get a MRI.

Jaclyn hasn't felt her face since the first Bush administration.

Wait? This first posted in 2011? I lost a few years. Did I used to have a drinking problem?

Whoever found and bumped this thread, THANK YOU! I don't remember seeing it and OP's post made me spit-laugh. I was just about to head to Twitter when I realized the original post date. Maybe we need to assign a DL Jaclyn Smith Twitter Monitor. Or, is it too late? Maybe she's off by now.

I'd already been here 4 or 5 years when this was posted, so imagine how old I feel now.

Maybe she was tweeting while inhaling her favorite box wine…

Ah, the old DataLounge. Lest we forget…

Has Jaclyn joined TikTok? I want to hear her talk about Bootsy Gumdrops.
