ET, go home.
I hate these shows. Please, let me tell you why.Entertainment Tonight: This show must think all viewers have the IQ of a pigeon. First, they tell me about the feature story that they have on that night. Then, they give me teases about it, maybe a flash of a photo and a blurb halfway through, then "Coming soon" animation at each commercial break. Finally, the credits roll over the photo of what was the feature story. Really, it was a 15 second clip of Britney Spears drinking a Frappuccino walking from her car into a beige building. That was it. That was what you spent that last 30 minutes waiting for.
But the WORST, the absolute worst, was this week. There is Mary Hart, all shiny, tan and blonde with a sparkly necklace of Austrian Crystal in a Meridian Blue blazer standing...get this....in front of the Houston Astrodome. She was "reporting" (read: reading off cue cards) about the Katrina aftermath..oh, and J-Lo's outfit on the red carpet at her movie's premier.
Are you kidding me??? How long do you have to shower after you get home? How much soap does it take Mary Hart to feel clean after doing a show like that? Do you think she growls in between takes and slurps from a flask? How about snorts coke in the trailer before coming to her set?
The show, all these shows (don't even get me started on Inside Edition) just make my blood boil. If you have the word ENTERTAINMENT in your title, don't report on real news like you have any knowledge of how to do so. Freak. What makes you think your audiences want to see that? They want to know which celebrity was voted 'most sexiest ever, always". Not what FEMA is doing. Hell, I am sure they think FEMA stands for "Fine Entertainment Matters Always".

Phil and I had the same coversation. You know Richard Simmons really does feel deeply. You know he is being honest with his emotions. But how appropriate is it to wear black sparkly tank and shorts to a disaster area? Freaky.
Here's my problem. I don't want to see Richard Simmons lamenting on all he's lost. I want to see Richard Simmons listening to those who have lost people. When he can get his head out of his own ass and realize that there are people that lost family and not focus on the material and the memories he's lost, I might take him seriously. Oh and dressing like he'd like to be taken seriously would help too.
