2007 - A Hollywood Kind of Year
So who’s in the news this year:Britney Spears, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears …
Oh and we have to mention Hannah Montana. There, my readership, based on top searches for 2007, should skyrocket now. Gaaaaaah.
Have you ever heard of that six-year old kid who faked an essay about her dad dying in Iraq just so she can win Hannah Montana tickets and a makeover? AND her mom helped her craft the essay too! What on F*** earth is happening to this society?!
More so, what a sucker we are for sob stories. Your parent died in Iraq, okay, you go to the top of the line. You got flooded in New Orleans? No problem, here’s the key to your spanking brand new house [sorry, no guarantee it won't be flushed away in the next big flood!]. You’re from Virginia Tech?You get free passes on the psychiatry chair. You found Britney’s missing underwear?! Wake up [you're dreaming]!
Gaaaah, somebody’s waiting to shoot me for this.
007 is proving to be quite an eventful year. It seem to go on FOREVER.
The current president George Bush is still battling spiraling approval ratings, the sorry mess that is known as Iraq, the mortgage crisis, gazillion budget deficits, and Al Gore who lost the election but surpasses him in popularity.
At least Gloria manages to push the Peso up … unfortunately, AFTER the fact that the biggest export industry in the Philippines right now are OFWs [overseas Filipino workers].
I’ll leave politics to the politicians and political commentaries to the news media. Gaaaah. The whole news media industry does make for one big fiesta carnival of stories waiting to be blogged about.
Back to the spawn of Achy Breaky Heart … if you’re not from the 80’s that’s Billy Ray Cyrus to you. Must be soo happy to have a resurrected name courtesy of daughter Miles Cyrus. Have to make a note to hunt for Hannah Montana tv show, it’s on Disney channel right? To see what the hoopla is about … enough to make a conniving mom fake a husband’s death to win tickets for her kid [way to go mom! THAT's WHY WE NEED AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMS!].
Either Hollywood stars are getting pregnant or they are getting into jail. Or both [gotta hand it to Nicole Richie]. But you have got to give it to Brit, she’s just in the news the whole year. Nobody, and I think nobody, could top La Spears’ shenanigans in 2007. Shaved hair, divorce, custody battle, drinking, partying, tale of the missing panties, hideous outfits topped by the ever present camel colored boots!
Tony Soprano of the recently ended TV series “Sopranos” has exited the diner. Did he or did he not … just about did anything and everything after that letdown of a scene?
The question wasn’t “did Anna Nicole Smith die of drug overdose or not?”, it was “did she think they were skittles or was she purposely brainwashed to think they were skittles that she could munch on ad infinitum?!”
Rosie vs. The Donald, Rosie vs. Hasselbach. Rosie won. At least the best Celebrity Blogger award from Bloggers Choice Awards.
How about daddy’s girl’s phone call to the White House? Ellen had a scoop on that one!
What about the writers guild’s strike? Brought late night talk shows to its knees huh. But not for long. David Letterman will be back on air next week with his full writing staff as his company, World Wide Pants, reach an agreement with the guild. So’s Craig Fergusson who’s show is also being produced by World Wide Pants.
Jay Leno, Stephen Colbert and Conan O’Brian will also be back sans their writers. That would be interesting to see.
Thank the Hollywood gods for reality TV! This year I’ve become a reality tv junkie - Kathy Griffith, Kimora Lee Simmons, The Kardashians & Bruce, Iron Chef, Top Chef … US Elections 2008. Oh wait, that’s REAL REALITY SHOW. Oh well, with all the drama and the hoopla, US politics is approaching Philippine status [drama, backbiting, controversies, false rumors, made up publicities. Hmmnnn, sounds like Hollywood-y to me!]
Gimme more! Gimme more! Har! Har!
