Panama City Beach - PCB biz group: Paris Hilton, Kardashians here in spring?

PANAMA CITY BEACH — New details are emerging from a co-op of Panama City Beach businesses about how the group plans to market Spring Break in 2010 without help from the Bay County Tourist Development Council.

Panama City Beach can’ decide what it wants to be when it grows up.

A recently released e-brochure by the co-op promises participating businesses a marketing campaign that will create a “buzz” on college campuses for the 18-24 student-age demographic, including an MTV tie-in.

The marketing effort will include the use of social networking sites Twitter and Facebook, a Web site separate from the site operated by the TDC and the endorsement of cast members from the MTV reality show “The Real World.”

Criticism of TDC’s marketing partnership this year with mtvU, another MTV venture, was one reason the TDC dropped its college Spring Break funding for 2010, a move that led to the creation of the private co-op. Some Panama City Beach residents became upset this year that links between MTV and Spring Break drew the wrong type of media attention to a tourist destination struggling to remake its image.

TDC Executive Director Dan Rowe said this week he had no “trepidation” the co-op’s college Spring Break efforts would upset the council’s plans to market Panama City Beach as a year-round family destination.  Our Panama City Beach Condo at Celadon Beach Resort  www.bestpanamacitybeachcondo.com  is a year round family destination.

The co-op’s marketing effort for 2010 promises weekly celebrity appearances throughout March that will include pop personalities such as Paris Hilton and stars from the television shows “The Hills” and “Keeping up with the Kardashians,” among others.

Despite the co-op’s effort to remain a private endeavor, however, organizers have asked the TDC for funding help, including advertising on its new Web site.

So far, the TDC has agreed only to provide a staff member in an advisory capacity to help monitor the co-op’s site, www.visitpanamacitybeach.com, for “risque and poor taste.”

The group is asking interested Panama City Beach businesses to participate at a basic or premium level: $3,000 and $7,500 for hotels and condos; $1,250 and $5,000 for bars and night clubs; and $750 to $1,500 for retail and attractions.

WOOPS, FASHION IS THE WORST

Genocide is so hot right now

So some airline did a fashion photo shoot for their in-flight magazine at the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin (Never Forget To Look Sexy At Gas Chamber After-Parties?). There are obviously a lot of things one could say about this, mostly along the lines of “This is the worst.” But can anyone say they’re genuinely surprised?

Let’s put this latest travesty by the fashion industry in perspective. Remember this?

Not even a month ago.

“What am I doing? Oh, nothing, just glamorizing a hateful practice steeped in the history of colonial dehumanization of an entire race of people. You know, hate crimefashion.”

Before that, there was the exploitation of poverty-stricken children as fetishized authenticity props, otherwise known as “the Slumdog Millionaire phenomenon.”

And not like fashion even needs all of these strikes against it to be the worst. Just look at the awful human beings it creates.

Exhibit A:

Fashion - turn to the left

Exhibit B:

"Fashion - turn to the right"

Exhibit C:

"We are the goon squad / And we're coming to town."

Case closed. Shut it down, people. Shut it all down.

Paris is Stopping Doug From Seeing Brody

Perhaps Paris Hilton took the whole Brody Jenner Bromance thing a little too seriously.  Either that or she’s a total control freak if the following is true.

Reports say Paris Hilton is stopping Doug Reinhardt from seeing his friends, including his former Hills co-star Brody Jenner.

Doug hasn’t seen Brody since he reconciled with Paris in August and “insists their friendship is now over”.  Jenner told Closer Magazine:

“We used to be best friends, now I never see him. Some people are so involved in relationships they lose their other friends. Partners come and go your friends are there for you always. I’m done. Paris has taken him away.”

Children Behave! That is what they say when we're together

My head actually hurts tonight from trying sop up all this fine music I’ve been jamming.

Coral and I went to see the movie Pirate Radio on Friday night.  A very groovy film about the years of pirate radio in the UK in the mid 60s.

The film was entertaining and as a broadcaster, mind boggling.  How could radio stations in the 60s have been so rad, but you punch up an oldies station today and no one is unzipping their pants on the air or broadcasting live on remote from a deflowering of a virgin?  (heck why isn’t my show doing that now?)

The movie had an insane soundtrack of mostly 60s classics.  One song that I downloaded after the film that is changing my world is Tommy James and The Shondells – “Crimson and Clover.”

This guy was a capital R rock star.  Collapses on stage in 1970 because of a drug overdose, is pronounced dead medically… and uh, wakes up?  Continues to rock?  Priceless.

The man has an autobiography coming out in 2010 called “Me, the Mob, and the Music: One Helluva Ride with Tommy James and the Shondells.”  Put that on my list of books that must be read.

If you’re thinking, “sure Jeremy, I’ll bite.”

Download “Crimson and Clover” for sure, but also consider “Mony Mony” or “I Think We’re Alone Now.”  You recognize those titles, because they were covered in the 80s, but the originals are mighty.  “Hany Panky” is kinda quirky fun too, and the song that shot Tommy to rock and roll fame.

I better pick-up my lotto max ticket this week.  After I win I’ll be buying one of those second (or third) rate AM stations in Vancouver, doing a ton of drugs and spinning vinyl records on a radio console that looks like it from the set of Star Trek.

***

In other news, what is up with that chick Ke$ha?  She is dominating top 40 right now.  Why do we all love her?  Oh right, she puked in Paris Hilton’s closet when she was on the Simple Life.

Well done cute popster, well done.

Go with yourself.

COVER!  DAVEY KEELS COUNTS…1 …2 …3!“

Suave: “Friday night, a shocking and disturbing incident took place at a Sarah Palin book signing…”

SARAH PALIN BOOK SIGNING
Suave (voiceover): Palin was signing books when this happened.”  Three masked men barged their way to the front of the line.  The first man removed his mask.  Suave (voiceover): “THAT’S RIGHT!  IT’S LEVI JOHNSTON…”  Johnston takes one of the books and clubs Palin in the side of the head with it.  Then the other two take their masks off.  Suave: “…AND MSNBC’S KEITH OLBERMANN AND HIS PALIN-HATING SIDEKICK SHANNYN MOORE! (if you don’t know who Shannyn Moore is- click here)”  Olbermann and Moore pile a stack of Palin’s book ‘Going Rogue’ on the table.  Johnston pushes a dazed Palin to the floor.  Then he reaches into his pocket and lights a match.  A huge fireball appears and torches the books.  Suave: “THAT’S RIGHT!  LEVI JOHNSTON, WHO’S CASHING IN ON THE ‘HATE-PALIN’ SENTIMENTS AMONG THE LEFT, USED A FIREBALL AND SET HER BOOKS ON FIRE!  OLBERMANN, WHO FLATLY REFUSES TO APPEAR IN A PCW ARENA BEFORE EVERYTIME HE DOES, HE GETS CHOKE-SLAMMED BY THE EXTREME EQUALIZER WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT, KICKS AWAY AT PALIN WHILE MOORE, WHO SEEMS TO HAVE AS MUCH OF A GRADE SCHOOL CRUSH ON PALIN AS OLBERMANN DOES, JOINS IN!”

*The opening riffs to Def Leppard’s ‘Rock, Rock Til You Drop play*

Suave: “THAT’S RIGHT!  IT’S THE EXTREME EQUALIZER- WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT!”  A lane opens up among the people in line and WTF races to the table.  Olbermann’s eyes light up when he sees WTF coming and he quickly scurries out the back.  Moore also makes a quick exit leaving Levi Johnston to face the Extreme Equalizer.   WTF grabs him by the throat…lifts…and WHAM! Right through the burning table.  Crowd in line: “PCW!…PCW!…PCW!…” 

Suave: “Somehow, I don’t think we’ve heard the last of the Johnston-Palin feud.”

MATCH #2

Mr. Jaundice and Captain Nausea w/Movie Classic (Island of Misfit Wrestlers)
Gary Locke and Earl Loade hit the ring as Toby Keith’s “Who’s Your Daddy” plays.  Suave: “THE RAVING REDNECKS ARE BACK IN PCW TO TAKE ANOTHER CRACK AT WINNING THE PCW TAG TEAM TITLES!”

…Suave: “…ELBOW DROP BY MR. JAUNDICE FROM THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!  WE COULD BE ON THE VERGE OF SEEING AN UPSET?”  Mr. Jaundice goes up again.  Locke nails a ropeflip hiptoss.  Suave: “LOCKE GOT HIM WITH THE HIP TOSS.  MR. JAUNDICE SCRAMBLES TO THE CORNER AND TAGS IN CAPTAIN NAUSEA.  Captain Nausea in…he whips Locke to the corner. Mr. Jaundice gets a cheap shot from behind.  Captain Nausea sets up…elbowdrop.   Mr. Jaundice runs back in…he drops the leg Locke.  Gary Loade’s had enough.  He’s in.   HE DDT’S  CAPTAIN NAUSEA TO THE MAT!

Suave: “Speaking of Dawn McGill.  She once again took High Octane Wrestling’s ICON Champion Max Kael to the limit this past Thursday night.

(courtesy of High Octane Wrestling)
REPLAY: ICON Champion Max Kael vs. Dr. Annabel Lecktor
…Rubbing her eyes Lecktor starts getting angry as she walks over to the timekeepers and grabs a steel chair as she slides back into the ring and goes after Max with the chair, who ducks the swing and takes Lecktor down with a drop kick to her knees.  But instead of continuing his offense, Max again tries to rip the mask off Lecktor.  She fights him off once again and hits him hard with a backfist which allows her to use the steel chair, cracking Max across the skull.  She discards it as she grabs Max’s leg and goes for the pin.

Joe Hoffman: Max tried again for that mask and he ate that steel chair as a result.  But we have no referee to make the count.

Suddenly we see HOFC referee Rick Stevens start to sprint down and slide into the ring as he starts to make the count for the pinfall.

1……2…….NO!!!

Max Kael is able to kickout as Stevens gets up from the mat and seems a bit lost inside a ring as a stunned Max gets back up to his feet and Lecktor goes for another spinning heel kick which this time does connect with Kael as she quickly locks in the testicular claw on Max as Stevens isn’t really sure if this is a legal move as he asks Max if he wants to submit.

Joe Hoffman: A quite unique submission move by Lecktor as she has a firm grip on Max’s…..Max’s…..

Benny Newell: BALLS……I dropped my shot glass….what’s going on in the ring?

Max seems to be in immense pain as he pulls himself over to the ropes slowly as Lecktor tries and pull Max back, which puts even more strain on a certain area of his body.  Max continues to pull himself across the mat as he is able to grab onto the bottom rope as Stevens calls for Lecktor to release the hold and this time Max rolls out of the ring, realizing that he was very close to loosing the match.

Benny Newell: Did she just have his junk clamped in her hand?  Damn!  I usually have to pay to see shit like that.

Joe Hoffman: Glad you have decided to rejoin the match Benny.

Max storms around the ring before he slides back in and goes after Lecktor who ducks a wild punch and counters with a martial arts kick that Max is also able to duck as he drops to his knees and goes for a low blow on Lecktor which connects but has little affect on the lower female anatomy of Lecktor who smiles and shakes her head as she knees Kael in the head and goes for another pinfall on the ICON champion.

1……2……..3….

Joe Hoffman: Do we have an upset?

Max lifts his leg up onto the ropes as Stevens stops the count as Lecktor for a second thinks she has won the match before Stevens yells out “NO!” and the match continues on.  Lecktor is down messing around as she lifts Max up from the mat and places his head between her legs and lefts him up onto her shoulders.

Joe Hoffman: A great showing of Lecktor’s strength lifting Max Kael who looks a good 50 pounds heavier then her.

Benny Newell: You sure I’m not paying to see this?

Lecktor has Max up in the air and Max again tries to pull the mask of Lecktor off….but realizing that he is about to be dropped to the mat he delivers a couple quick punches to Lecktor which allows him to escape from the powerbomb she was attempting and connect with a jawbreaker that dazes the masked female and sends her down to the mat for a moment as she pulls herself back up to her feet.

Joe Hoffman: I don’t like where this is heading for Lecktor….Max has turned his attention from the mask…

Benny Newell: Did I mention you should be wearing a mask instead of her yet?

Joe Hoffman: Yes….you mentioned that.

Benny Newell: Good….

Benny tosses another shot back, as Max stares at the dazed Lecktor for a few brief seconds before Max connects another European uppercut and then he hooks her neck and hit the lightning spiral on her which lays her out in the middle of the ring as he goes for the cover that Rick Stevens slides in to count.

Joe Hoffman: The Singularity….thanks for coming Lecktor.

1………2………..3…………..

Stevens calls for the bell as Max’s music plays but Max is not concerned with the victory he has just gotten or celebrating it.

Bryan McVay: The winner of this match in 11 minutes and 39 seconds….MAX KAEL!!!

Max just stares at Lecktor as instead of getting up from the mat he reaches over to Lecktor and with her out he reaches for her mask and slowly removes it from her face, revealing that it is not Annabel Lecktor…..

Joe Hoffman: Dawn McGill?!?  Dawn was really the girl under the Lecktor mask.  For the second week in a row she pushed Max to the limit, nearly defeating the ICON champion.

Shocked that the woman under the mask is Dawn, Max slowly get back to his feet as Dawn starts to stir on the mat.  Max continues staring in shock as she climbs back up to her feet, starting too look back at Max Kael, who is surprisingly looking at her with a look of respect, maybe for pushing him to the edge for the second week in a row.

Joe Hoffman: Well it seems McGill wanted to get Max Kael’s attention and it seems with her showing tonight that she has gotten that and dare I say some respect from the ICON champion?

‘Hollywood A-Lister’ Stone Chism is in the ring with the Skanky Rich Bimbos Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan.  Chism: “Okay.  Why would you want to watch a fake icon when you can see a REAL icon right here…me.”  Chism then parades the SRB around and then wants to know who the next person is who’s going to do the right thing and ‘lay down in the ring for him?’ 

Movie Classic comes out with the 375 pound Jobber the Hut lumbering right behind him.  Suave: “Jobber the Hut is good for about a half a minute…after that…forget it.”  

MATCH #3- Non-Title Match
PCW Champion ‘Hollywood A-Lister’ Stone Chism w/The Skanky Rich Bimbos
vs.
Jobber the Hut (Island of Misfit Wrestlers)(The bell rings)  Suave: “There’s the bell.  Chism is goofing off…not a good idea in the first thirty seconds of the match…JOBBER HOOKS HIM IN A FULL NELSON!”  Jobber rams Chism into the corner turnbuckle over and over.  Suave: “CHISM IN TROUBLE…COVER HIM!  COVER HIM!”  Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan hit the ring.  Suave: “NO!  Wait…I mean…YES!”  Hilton and Lohan get Jobber’s attention and then whip their tops off.  Suave: “WARDROBE MALFUNCTION!  WARDROBE MALFUNCTION!”  Chism pulls himself up.  Suave: “OHHHH!  CHISM GOES LOW AND JOBBER IS BENT OVER.  CHISM FLOATS AROUND…NECKBREAKER!  COVER!”  Davey Keels counts. …1 …2 …3!

WINNER: ‘HOLLYWOOD A-LISTER’ STONE CHISM in :49

Suave: “AGAIN, THANKS TO THE SKANKY RICH BIMBOS, STONE CHISM GETS ANOTHER WIN IN PCW!”

PCW NEWSLINE w/ GINA RAMSEY
Gina: “PCW CEO Barack Obama again fends off questions about his association with jailed High Octane Wrestling owner Lee Best.  Anita Dunn and her A.D.D. crew continue to try to change the conversation to Fox News by blaming Fox’s association with the American Patriots for fueling the controversy.  But as Best’s trial in January looms in the future, could the PCW CEO be drawn in?

“In other news, Lou Dobbs leaves CNN.  Rumor has it that he could become a spokesperson for the American Heartland Coalition.  The AHC refused all comment on the matter.

“University of New Mexico soccer player Elizabeth Lambert has been offered a contract by PCW.

The crowd boos as Dr. Bill strolls down the aisle.  Suave: “Dr. Bill has kept a low profile since his claim that Dr. Annabel ‘The Cannibal’ Lecktor bit off his arm was proved to be a hoax.  But what is up with the steel bracing and stuff on his arm?”  Dr. Bill: “SHUT UP!”  He raises his arm up.  Dr. Bill: “DO YOU SEE WHAT THAT CANNIBAL DR. LECKTOR DID TO ME?”  Suave: “Ah…no she didn’t.”

Suave: “And here comes the American Trucker being led to the ring by Tequila Sheila.”

Pour me another Tequila Sheila,
Take off that red satin dress
I cross the border and I beat the dealer
For all the damn gold in Juarez.
I feel like old Pancho Villa, Sheila
And sure could use a friend (I got Pesso to spend)
So pour me another Tequilla Sheila
And lay down n’love me again.
Though I can tell you about it
But don’t mind my gun by the bed
I feel kind of naked without it
And it eases the fear in my head.
Just pass me the salt n’the lemon
Bend down n’blow out the light
I never had trusted the woman
But Sheila I’ll trust you tonight.
Chorus:
Pour me another Tequila Sheila
Take off that red satin dress
I cross the border and I beat the dealer
Dor all the damn gold in Juarez.
I feel like old Pancho Villa, Sheila
And sure could use a friend (I got Pesso to spend)
So pour me another Tequilla Sheila,
And lay down n’love me again..

I Am Not Tara Reid.

Hello Readers,

I’ve got two pretty important questions for you to ponder today.

1. Is it considered spousal abuse to punch a husband for saying his wife reminds him of Tara Reid?

and

1. Is finding out your husband thinks you are similar to Tara Reid grounds for divorce?  

Let’s take a look back, friends, at how the story began . . .

It was a beautiful autumn day in Pennsylvania.  The husband and I were driving in the car to do a little grocery shopping.  Folks were raking the leaves from their yards.  Children were playing football in the school yard.  Butterflies were holding wings as they flew away.  Squirrels were kissing. 

Then, the husband and I made a left turn down a dark path.  I’m not quite sure why or how, but we started talking about celebrities. And then we started comparing people we know to celebrities, and eventually, the conversation got around to us.  I know what you’re thinking — Don’t do it!  — But we did.

I asked the husband who he thought I was most like in the celebrity world.  I admit I set myself up for the horrendous revelations that ensued, but it never occurred to me that of ALL the celebrities in THE ENTIRE WORLD, my husband would compare me to . . . TARA REID!  EE! EE! EE! EE! (Psycho music).

So, I asked him, “Exactly in what way?  Exactly.”  And he responded that he’d recently read an article about her, and she reminded him of me.

Why?  WHY?  WHYYYYYYYYYYY?

And then he said, “I thought you’d like that.”

Why?  WHY?  WHYYYYYYYYYYY?

Then I thought maybe just maybe he was kidding.  “No,” he responded.

But I guess the real question is Is this really how he sees me?

What I know about Tara Reid

1. She was in American Pie and a couple of other movies, but she hasn’t been cast in a major role in four or five years.  By most accounts, her career is over.
2. She’s a big partier (aka a big drunk).
3. She was friends with Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan.
4. She’s a fallen star who is the butt of many alcohol-related and bad-plastic-surgery jokes.
5. She’s blond and looks/acts perpetually stoned/drunk.

So then I thought maybe he doesn’t really know who Tara Reid is.  Maybe he’s thinking of someone else, but thinks it’s Tara Reid.  When I was in college, The X-Files was the rage, and guys used to say I looked like Scully.  Then when Kate Walsh joined Grey’s Anatomy, folks said I looked like Addison.  Aside from the red hair, I don’t think I look like either one, but TARA REID?   I don’t get it. 

And then I made another mistake.  As I was trying to wrap my brain around this idea, it occurred to me that he might be thinking of a CHARACTER that Tara Reid played, so I asked, “do you mean Tara Reid, the actress, Tara Reid, the person, or a character that she once played – like in American Pie?”  He replied “the person.”  And just like that, he plunged the knife further in my heart and twisted and turned it until my insides lay naked on the floor.

TARA REID???  REALLY?  Of all celebrities, he compared me to Tara Reid?  TARA REID???  What man compares his wife to Tara Reid — and thinks it’s a compliment?  HOW CAN THIS BE??  Eight years I’ve given to this man, and he likens me to Tara Reid. 

What I Know About Me That My Husband Apparently Doesn’t

1. I’ve never been in a movie, but I work and have worked since I was sixteen.  And other than the three months during the winter of 2001 that I was unemployed after a layoff, I have always worked somewhere doing something.
2. My hard partying days ended when I met my husband, and my hard partying days were kind of soft by just about everyone’s standards.
3. I don’t know Paris Hilton or Lindsay Lohan or anyone like them.
4. Other than college (which doesn’t count), I don’t think anyone has anything negative in the alcohol realm to say about me, and all of my parts are original.  Thank you very much.
5. I’m a red head and am completely sober most of the time (although I do get drunk eyes in photos when I wear contact lenses, and I do drink wine every night – but not a lot – really.).

I’ve been thinking about this Tara Reid conversation for four days, and I still don’t get it.  The husband couldn’t/wouldn’t explain it, and he hasn’t mentioned it since.  BTW, it took him about thirty minutes to realize he made a mistake in comparing me to Tara Reid.  He really thought it was a compliment.

I’m left with many questions, three of which are

1.  Does my husband really think I’m a washed up, messed up drunk?
2. If so, what should I do about it?
3. Is being likened to Tara Reid a compliment after all?

One more note:  I’m sure Tara Reid is a lovely person and has many fans, family, and friends who adore her.  I have nothing against her in any way.  I’m sure she is a nice person and probably donates time and money to charity.  This post in no way is intended to hurt Tara Reid in any way or cause her harm. 

Until next time . . .

Fat Celebrities

Per tutti coloro che sono sempre alle prese con chili di troppo, doppi menti e vestiti che non entrano mai, per tutti quelli che sono sempre a dieta, rincuoratevi guardando questa galleria di Gossip Blog dove i tipi di Worth1000 si sono divertiti ad ingrassare delle star che di solito si presentano in forma smagliante (a parte Amy Winehouse) conciandolo come delle povere mortali… Chi preferite?

P.S. Notare come Victoria Beckham sembri solo normale, non grassa…

The media we deserve?

The rumour that Glenn Beck is being considered as a replacement for Oprah sent shivers down my spine.

I struggled to understand how this rabble rousing dealer of mis-information and public fear-mongering could achieve a higher level of public access. I looked for someone to blame.

I blame Paris Hilton.

Human beings are always looking to apportion blame whenever they can. Normally blame is attached to serious situations such as war, politics, famine, disasters etc but blame can also be channelled towards sports, music, film and other leisure activities which we feel add enjoyment to our lives.

It could be that their football team is going through a bad patch, a frequent occurrence for supporters throughout the globe.  Doubled if you have any interest in the national team or even follow more than one sport.

A favourite band is no longer releasing material of quality (Exhibit 1, Metallica, St. Anger), and you are more than happy with the greatest hits instead of new stuff. It could even be that your favourite series of films has been ruined with the introduction of an annoying creature who takes up more screen time than is necessary.

Those to blame must stand up and shoulder responsibility.

So I can safely say that I blame Paris Hilton.

To be fair to Ms Hilton, she is not the only culprit but she seems to adequately sum up in a single package everything that is wrong with the world of entertainment today.

Lindsay Lohan, Pop Idol, Reality TV, Big Brother, music channels that show no music but a seemingly endless stream of shows with D (or lower) List celebrities, WAGs, Victoria Beckham, Jackass, Celebrity Ice Dancing, Celebrity Chefs, Survivor, John and Kate plus 8 (or minus 8 or divorced or back together again – I have lost track!)………the list is endless, and there seems to be no relief in sight.

Popular Culture is drowning in a sea of mediocrity, highlighted by the public desire for their individual fifteen minutes of fame.

Will anyone remember the “balloon boy” incident as anything other than a father using his child for publicity?

How many times have we watched the “talent shows” and enjoyed the spectacle of the deluded and talent-less embarrassing themselves on TV?

Are we not secretly disappointed when the show concentrates on those who have some ability? Does anyone really remember the finalists?

 How many more so-called celebrities are desperately scrambling to maintain their time in the spotlight?

How many more films will be released that go straight to DVD? Do we really need any more slices of American Pie?

The media tries to maintain an element of quality but the voracious desire of the public for a constant stream of celebrity news and gossip means that the pool of real talent is almost dry. We are willing to accept almost anything that pouts in the flash of the cameras and almost anyone can be a “star” if they get a chance.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Popular Culture.

I have always loved movies and television and I have spent many happy hours watching and re-watching my favourites but I seem to be constantly reviewing the past instead of investigating what is in the here and now.

The reason for this is quite simple, there is so little of interest being produced by the entertainment industry, that I am forced to consider other options.

And watching entertainment that thinks it is news is not the answer,  Glenn Beck!

I am always looking for something that will pique my interest but in the last five years there has been a paucity of quality which concerns me greatly. However the media networks continue to churn out product, more channels are available for us to surf and hundreds of movies are released that nobody will ever watch.

And at the centre of the talent vacuum sits Paris.

I still struggle to understand what she actually does. She seems to be in everything but is good at nothing. She is a constant presence in the newspapers, and there is a continued media interest in where she goes and what she does. Surely we are beyond this? Does anyone really care?

I know that the media industry has some of the most talented individuals in the world working within it, and I know that there are projects of real quality being worked on and shown throughout the world.

But until we learn to differentiate between what is considered celebrity and what is seen as talent, we will continue to be bombarded with more media then we can possibly ever consume, but we have no-one to blame but ourselves.

We have the media that we deserve.
