2009-We don’t need more of…
I was reading the stories about the passing of Jett Travolta, thinking how terribly sad the situation is for the family. It’s beyond my comprehension how someone copes after the loss of a child. I’m feeling melancholy, wanting to hug my napping boy, when lo and behold, I click on some entertainment link. Up pops a picture of Miss Lindsay Lohan and her not-girlfriend, Sam Ronson. There are so many people I just don’t need to see any more of, and these two top my list.
What do these people do, except “be seen”? I haven’t heard of anything Lohan’s done since being cut out of the “Ugly Betty”epidsodes. What was before that? “Herbie”? And some other flop movie? I could do without any more stories about her and Sam.
Poor Amy Winehouse. Train wreck that she is - and everyone loves a good train wreck - let’s just call it a career, get yourself clean and healthy, and then go away to the islands. For a longggg, longgggggg time.
Boy George…boy, oh boy, oh boy. Male escorts, drugs, false reports to police. Follow Amy’s lead (above) and step to the side. I used to tumble for ya, but now you’re just a sad little man.
Who are these Heidi and Spencer people? And why are they considered news? Same with that Audrina and Lauren. And Kim Kardashian. What do these people DO? I think it’s supposed to be something related to reality shows that aren’t really reality shows. Hey, chicks - and Spencer - if you want reality, why don’t you go get a real job? Or sign up for a reality show that actually demands something of you? You’re all about 12 pounds, so The Biggest Loser isn’t an option (though it is arguably the most real of the reality shows out there, and damn fine television). Why not try Survivor or something that would test your mettle (that’s guts, kid…or determination)?
I’d love to add so many more names to the list, but I have to cut this short so I can lay my clothes out for work tomorrow. I’m sure you reality “star” folk don’t know what that is (work), and I don’t want to frighten you, so I’ll end here.
