Hey...
I just read a couple of 'entertainment news' headlines...
It would seem that Lindsay Lohan is tired of being referred to as a 'teen queen'...
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
It also seems that there's a sex-tape circulating with Kid Rock and he's upset because 'rock stars have rights to privacy too!'
DOUBLE-AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Celebrities in general just kinda make me ill these days. They're so self-important and convinced that because they can scream into a microphone or pretend-to-be-someone-else in a movie that their opinions actually matter.
Make no mistake, people, for the most part celebrities are the most rock-stupid people on the face of the earth.
The only difference between "According to Jim" and the puppet show in the park is BUDGET.
Have you ever noticed how self-referrential the entertainment industry is?
Sometime, try to think of all of the TV shows that star characters who are - in some way - involved in the entertainment industry.
There's a lot.
It's sad to me that America seems to have lost interest in 'regular' people. We watch TV shows about TV shows. Where are the Archie Bunkers? Where are the Fred Sanfords?
Regular people are generally WAY more interesting than show-biz people.

And what exactly do you think about "reality" tv?
It's no stupider than regular TV these days.
Actually, all things considered, there are more good TV shows than there are good movies.
There are just SO MANY networks that need to fill airtime that they fill a lot of it with crap.
On the other hand, we have shows like LOST, 24, SOPRANOS, SIX-FEET-UNDER, and a handfull of exceptions.
Most 'reality' shows are really nothing more than game shows with a new twist. But, hey, I'm as big of a sucker for some of them as anyone.
I was FEVERISHLY devoted to the first several seasons of SURVIVOR. And I still love COPS.
It's not as though I require everything to be 'intellectual nourishment'... there's a place for goofy entertainment... hell, I'm a huge fan of RENO 911! so it's not like I'm a snob.
The trouble with a lot of reality tv is that the people on it are getting hotter and hotter and you begin to realize that they're using the show as a springboard into a career in show-biz.
And the LAST thing we need are more people in show-biz!
If you have a computer and literally HOURS to kill, go to the above website for pages and pages of snotty commentary on Hollywood-types.
I forget which pages it's on, but if you're a guy who has convinced himself that Teri Hatcher is 'hot', this site has a positively horrifying photo of her face that really tells it like it is.
I can attest to its authenticity because Leigh and I went to a party several months ago where Hatcher showed up and she looked like a friggin scarecrow. It was eerie.
Oh man, I know your watching the oscars. You love that kind of punshiment!
I was pleased with the Oscars this year... "Crash" won - which I liked... "Wallace ang Grommit" won the animation category (though it could/should have just as easily competed in the Best Film category).
I LOVE that Phillip Seymore Hoffman won best actor!
Here's to big, doughy guys! WOO HOOOO!
