Publicity Seekers . . . or Not

Hey, how 'bout those party crashers! Don't you just love it when the press gets so scornful about self promoters. And how do they scoff? By giving them all the publicity they want. As much as I love THE VIEW, those gals just can't get ENOUGH of these publicity seekers. Do they even realize how much they have bought into these people when they talk about them for days at a time?

And poor Tiger Woods. I really feel for him. This man is a great athlete who is a celebrity against his will. To his mind, all he does is play good golf. He isn't a "star but a competitor whose successes are reported on the news. I'm not so sure he would like to be the subject of an ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT segment. He's just doing what he does to make a living.
He is a "role model" by default. And today on THE VIEW, Elisabeth, that judgmental rep of the right, lets us know that as a role model, he has an obligation. WHAT?!

Now if Lizzy and Whoopi et al. want to put themselves out there in front of the great unwashed masses every weekday morning, then let THEM be role models. They are seeking the publicity. If they can't see the difference between themselves and Tiger, who else can. Let the "working stiff" earn his living at the country clubs, where he tries to stay off the TV camera except in big tournaments where he can't avoid them. If he wants to sleep around - or not - whose business is it? Leave that to the self promoters, which included every siingle entertainer who has ever sought the spotlight. They do it at their peril, when it comes to public intrusion into their private lives.

And Barbaba . . . GET A LIFE! Lady Gaga a fascinating person? to whom? Don't we have more important things to do than ooh and ahh over people who like to dress funny and parade around as if they have talent? Why not leave the decision about who is ir is not fascinating to each of us, if that matters to any of us. Oh, I know you have your audience for such things, so you and Perez Hilton can gossip together. But don'tmake the rest of us nauseous with it. The only hot topics I like on your show are those with some degree of substance. By the way, no offense intended, Whoopi. I really like most of your comments - they show a lot of depth of thought. LOVED your rant about the airlines!
