Celebrity Island - Vote Now!

Who gets voted off Celebrity Island? Stay tuned....

Maybe its my advanced age (?) but my tolerance for celebrity culture is wearing thin. Why can't we vote on who gets to be famous, to be a celebrity, to be shoved in our faces 24/7?

and why, oh god, why do they hire these inarticulate people to host and announce?
I just heard a pussycat doll announce "Caryann Ameoba " would be coming up shortly,
Who gave her the job?

For the past few weeks its been Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien and the twits at NBC who decided to yank Conan and be a Leno giver (finally, we have absolved the Indians) to take back his show. Personally, I feel each of those nitwit executives, Leno, and O'Brien should donate $1 million each to Haiti relief for putting us thru this nonsense. But,  it doesn't stop there.

Oprah has to chastise Jay on her show and I guess you are only released of your sins if you appear.
Oh, Tiger, where are you? Who is she?  "Big Mama?"  I still cringe about the poor guy who faked his memoirs and got a brutal bitch slap on Oprah.

As for Tiger and Elin, I personally don't care who Tiger bonks, but somebody, please, tell me where Elin gets those really cool sunglasses.

And then, there's Sundance, the only interesting film community, but god knows what's going on since now its all about celebrity face time. I have to watch Mario Lopez sample ten different types of cuisine at Park City, Utah, instead of finding out about any films. I find out much later that there is this really cool documentary about Afghanistan by Sebastian Junger, who brought us the only book I will ever read about weather - The Perfect Storm.

There's no news anymore. I have no idea if I will have health care. I can't get away from Brangelina if I tried, but I would like to housesit for them, not babysit, house sit, since apparently they own twenty or thirty houses. How do I get THAT job?

They trivialize the news so much that when Nancy Kerrigan's father died - all I could think of was not that she won an Olympic silver medal but how she is more famous for crying on TV, saying, "Why........why?????? "

And OMG, I am from New Jersey, so I always knew the Jersey Shore was an ongoing reality show, but these guidos are pulled from deepest darkest NJ, and they even put Danielle and Theresa of North Jersey housewifery to shame.(You Hawe!)

How can we vote these people off of Celebrity Island?  Never mind Spiedi and her now plasticized face serving as a cautionary tale, but I propose a lottery where two complete unknowns get facetime and and celebrities get tossed, blacklisted.  It used to happen naturally as in "where are they now,' but now they never seem to die, even if they die!
