Actually, it's very, very hard to quit for anybody. I'm only 3 months smoke-free and I've never done anything as difficult as this has been.

But....I think Simon is a very realistic person: He sees right thru all the posturing these wanna-be's do...even to the point of being up front and straight forward about his and Alex's social climbing. Personally, I think it's a shame that being part of the "elite" is that important to them but it is and it's their choice. He and Alex are far too intelligent not to be aware of the phoniness of the others like the Countess and Jill, in particular, so I think Simon's face was expressing his (and most of our) amazement/disgust/incredulity that this so called upper class woman would trade her dignity to be a pop star, semi-singing something because she has no real singing talent.
Luann is an intelligent woman but this pathetic reach for fame/star status makes one wonder, what the F... are you thinking? Such a blatent contridictory way of behaving.
Scolding others for bad manners/ inappropriate behavior and all the while looking like a total attention seeking over-the-hill a$$ in a music (?) video.
Phew! I didn't know all that was brewing in my head about Luann!

I guess I really dislike hypocrites and she's the Queen

(Countess) of it.
