So, I originally said you wouldn't find information about reality "stars" on here unless they were in a competition. I lied. I just read that Heidi Montag and Danielle Staub apparently have a TV show together and it is a hot mess (not in a good way). It is called "Famous Food" however, people are calling it "Famous Flop". I'd definitely agree. I haven't seen it so I won't give toooooo much judgement, however, with the 2 of them, I don't see how it would be interesting unless they did what they do best and cause each other drama and fights. What else are they good for? :)
Update:
I would like to expound on my annoyance with our obsession with reality stars. I hope that one day people will really understand that we are the ones paying these people to act up on TV. We are allowing them to live without actually doing any real work besides starting drama and fights between the other 'stars' of the show and make thousands/millions per episode (yet we have to struggle day to day to pay our bills). They act up and we "can't get enough" or "it's a trainwreck/can't change the channel/there's a marathon!". One day I really realized how annoyed I am with this. Why do we pay these people for being talentless? It also trains our youth that if they don't really want to do anything with their lives, all they have to do is act immature and ridiculous, and they'll get their own TV show. You got pregnant at 15? That's ok, MTV has a spot for you! You're 48 now and divorced and have no skills because you've been a stay at home mom? That's ok, we have Real Housewives of the world...doesn't matter where you live, we'll film it! You're extremely attractive, yet somehow you can't find a date? How about you pick between 10 different equally attractive people (minus the few 'uglies' we throw in for diversity)...it won't ever work out anyway, but what the hell, it's entertainment for us! You go to the beach for a summer and do nothing but drink, fight and fuck and now you have book/commercial deals that makes you thousands of dollars a pop! At what point will we think that this behavior is enough? And if this trend doesn't end, how can I get on that bandwagon and benefit from your hard work society?
TV used to be a place for us to escape our daily problems. Now it's turned into a place for us to watch train-wrecks and say, "Well, at least with all of my issues, I'm not like (insert any reality star's name) and I have my shit together". I honestly was one of these people until the past couple of months. Really people?? Let's get it together. Educate your friends if this post meant anything to you. If not, keep on enjoying your scripted "reality". Just my thoughts.
