Has Reality TV handicapped our ability to find a celebrity?
It's a new world out there if you are watching a lot of television.
People that were recluses last week are fodder for Extra and TMZ this week. Tourism is up 500 percent on the Jersey Shore because of two people who can't speak in complete sentences. And publicists are hurling themselves into traffic.
And why? Because anyone can make a reality show but only Hollywood can make a celebrity.
Moreover, Hollywood is hungry for the next big tool... thing, so even they are following reality dolts for giggles.
Case in point: There are reports out on the bullying from Kate Gosselin's kids!
According to reports from In Touch, Collin and Alexis have been expelled from their Pennsylvania private school and are now being homeschooled.
How does two of eight kids go from being modest pre-pubescent gomers with snotty noses and bent-up angst, to being pretentious snobs that believe they are better than everyone else?
Oh yeah, reality TV. (Well that and a mother who craves plastic surgery like a Chilean miner jones for some good Elvis.)
What's even more depressing is even though their mom is a clueless starlet and their dad is a talentless hack, the major domos are TLC are slapping high-five because these reports equal ratings.
Can't we get back to fawning after Oscar winners, drunk Grammy winners and the eccentric Emmy eff-bomb tirade?
At least that way, we won't need a Calgon moment to Sarah Palin's Alaska just to get away from the drama. Oh wait.
