I’m short (pun intended) on details at the moment, so just know that there is more to the story.

Hang tight and check back!

If you’re new to jozjozjoz.com, then you might wonder why I am constantly talking about/posting pictures of Genevieve Gallen. The story of that starts back in July 2003… you can always check out the archives for more. After posting Verne Troyer and Genevieve Gallen pictures on my site, Genevieve happened upon my site & got in touch. The rest, I guess you could say, is history

I usually blog about Genevieve (not Verne, because I’ve only said “hi” to him a couple of times), but anytime there is happy/exciting news for either of them, I want to share it. Genevieve has been nice enough to share many photos with us, including this EXCLUSIVE picture of Verne Troyer and Genevieve Gallen).

Here’s a brief blurb:

While this may not be immediately apparent to anyone who has ever sat through a fall TV season, network executives covet tidiness and reliability. Mostly because it helps them sleep at night and in the relative calm of morning, they know that the hit show, which aired the night before, will be a hit the following week and maybe - TV gods willing - the following season, too.

    I really think that Reality TV has lost all it’s steam. There is too much out there and none of any quality.

    Though I am distressed at the choice of titles for the show, I hope Verne hits it big. Maybe if they changed it to a more or less “scripted” reality show like that parody that was on TV not so long ago.
