1 - Obviously, the biggest thing on everyone's radar was DEATH. Billie Jean - all about the life and times of Jacko, the King of Pop: Michael Jackson. Some characters appeared on PBS tv Friday night, comparing Jacko to Elvis and The Beatles. saying that "The King" and "The Fab 4" weren't really big stars because they only had white fans. HAH? These goofy black dudes went on to say that Michael was this and that. Truth be told, Michael was an enormous celebrity who TRANSCENDED generations, color and culture. Say say say, didn't he turn from black into white somewhere along the way? I think we place too much emphasis on color nowadays. Just let it go. He was what he was - a Superstar. And so was Elvis. And so were the Beatles. And by the way, I guess I'm just as guilty as others of "ignoring" the death of Ed McMahon. I blogmourned David Carradine, Farah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. Friday night on his radio show, San Francisco-based talk-show host Michael Savage fielded a question from a caller who wanted to know why Ed McMahon wasn't covered as heavily in the media as Jacko. Savage muttered something like "because he was on old white man who didn't matter and Jackson is the future." Savage is the exact polar opposite of the black chumps who appeared on PBS. My late Dad would have said "lock Savage and those other guys up in a rooom together and throw away the key."2 - This 2007 post about how to remove a computer worm has been getting a lot of hits over the past ten days. It must be spreading again.
3 - People always want to make copies of music and music videos! This post attracts a minimum of 5 visitors per day. It's got legs!
4 - Speaking of legs, have you heard that Leighton Meester made a Sex Tape? No, I haven't seen it. A lot of these sextapes are pretty sad. Many were meant to be private. Even if this wasn't meant to be private, I'd feel creepy about watching something that the person is the subject of is probably embarassed about.
5 - Everyone seems to enjoy a catfight... that's the only way I could possibly explain why this particular post keeps 'em coming back. If you are new to blogging, take an afternoon and travel back into Wendy Cheng's archives... with a little boost from blogger, this gal launched a career as what can be described as a "celebrity blogger" - but she's more than that - articulate, outspoken, a little crazy - and she's now a TV star. Wendy's celebrity trek really got off the ground when blogger (blogspot) designated her as "blogger of the month" Or something like that... they used to pick and feature certain bloggers. Hmmm... I wonder if that was BEFORE Google took over blogger? Doesn't matter! Wendy's blog IS "Celebrity 101" - and yes, you too can build yourself into a brand or a star. But don't copy Wendy, or anybody else. Be original!
