" I really don't think it's THAT crazy that she has 238490348092 listed as her children, I think it's a harmless joke."
With you and people you're actually friends with, it probably is, but Alice Ripley isn't FRIENDS with these people. At least not here in the real world, though I can't speak to the delusions these people have.

I stand corrected.
Who's crazier: Alice Ripley, or folks who post over and over and over about how crazy Alice Ripley is?
Discuss.
Could anyone really challenge the high priestess of NUTS at a game of being out of their minds?
And whatever, as for Alice, her insane fans aside, she's really killing it in Next to Normal, so as to her personal sanity, who gives a crap?

I have no idea what the purpose of this video is. Maybe Im missing a inside joke or something

adamgreer: well, I entertain my friends all of the time, but it's not an act. I'm just that much fun to be around
I think it's just her personality, and she knows people are eating it up, so she continues.
saveusmike, at least that video has a title now semi-explaining what it is. When that was first posted, it was unnamed and it was creepy as HELL.
Kelly2, I'm listed as one of her "children" because it is funny and I love Ripley. She loves her fans, and I appreciate it. Maybe you are just sad that you have no fans to love you.
OOOOOH! Bend and SNAP, Kelly2!
Annas_Priest, that was way harsh.

To be fair, Kelly's crazy obsession with the cougar and her mate ain't exactly the the stuff of sanity.

Does anyone remember (and this is going back several years) her website, OfficalAliceRipley.com? She used to post little essays on there that were hilariously crazy. I've always just thought she has an out there sense of humor, as evidenced in these videos.

Don't forget to breath, y'all. Oh, and smile, too.
Phyllis, no "crazy obsession" here, but let's not throw around that phrase on this thread? Alice Ripley's children are reading.
"She loves her fans, and I appreciate it. Maybe you are just sad that you have no fans to love you."
I'm actually pretty grateful that I don't have to deal with the emotionally disturbed en masse every day of my life, but thanks for asking!
I guess I'm one of the few who find her less amusing and funny than actually, truly terrifying. I mean, she's a great talent and all, but did you see that YouTube video where she says at the end that she knows how to make an exit and leans in, giving her best joker grin to the camera? I nearly pissed myself out of genuine fear.
^That says more about you than her!
I wrote on her wall and suddenly had like 4 crazy fans messaging me in a rage.

What did you write?
That I think I gave her the cold the other week, 'cause I had one when I sat front row the night before she was out. The friend I was with wanted to stagedoor, also, so I was standing with her when Alice signed her playbill.

Haha, so the fans were like "HOW DARE YOU MAKE ALICE SICK" etc?
One comment i remember was "Oh my god I HOPE this is some inside joke!!!!!" and then the same girl messaged me and got angy and asked if I even knew Alice Ripley personally. I was like, no? Neither do you, Marymount Manhattan incoming freshman who just graduated from high school in Ohio. (Haha, yes,i checked)

Crazy people do tend to take things too far! Just a trait that I've noticed. And if they were...y'know, ACTUALLY sane, they could maybe realize that anyone on her list of children is basically publicly admitting to being a complete nutbar and remove themselves? Just an idea.
I'm actually pretty grateful that I don't have to deal with the emotionally disturbed en masse every day of my life, but thanks for asking!
So I'm a nutbar, and part of the emotionally disturbed en masse, all because I'm listed as one of Alice Ripley's Facebook children?
...I think someone needs a hug and a cookie! Come here, you! I promise I don't bite...
I bite... Skin is good.. with Ketchup.
Am I crazy too?
Um, you seem to forget that Alice (I'm calling her by her first name because we're best friends!?!! I'm her daughter!!! Don't tell me I'm not!) pretty much ENCOURAGES the whole 'children' thing. Give those people some credit. I'm sure that both Alice and the fans recognize it as silly. It's unfair to assume that all fans that are committed to a show and love the cast are only in it because they have 'emotional issues' or whatnot.
Whether or not she is truly bonkers, I think that will always be a mystery. I for one think she's freaking hysterical.
