Infotainment This Afternoon

Dang! There's so much happening atm. In terms of news, I guess y'all already know about Sarah Palin being hired by FOX News. It goes without saying that that will be interesting. Also, President Obama has begun to order U.S. aid to be sent to Haiti to help survivors of Tuesday's massive (7.0 on the Richter scale) earthquake. (More on that later.)

In entertainment, the big "story" is former Hills (which isn't even MTV's most inane "reality" show-- that dubious honor belongs to Jersey Shore) "star" Heidi Montag's plastic surgery obsession. Montag, one-half of wannabe celeb supercouple Speidi, has confessed to undergoing ten elective procedures in one day. Who the heck is this girl, and why does her tragically low self-esteem even warrant a "story"? This is just plain sad. Heidi will more than likely fade into obscurity, and all her pain and suffering will have been for nothing. Beyond pathetic! As for her "marriage," well, she and her "husband," Spencer Pratt, will inevitably wind up in Splitsville. Now, ladies, let's go find some real role models-- complete with brains, talent, and personalities.

Speaking of which (major LOL!), I submitted that op-ed for publication in my local newspaper today. It pertains to the Haiti earthquake and how we, the people, should help President Obama help the survivors. I'll get it posted on here ASAP. Well, that's your infotainment for this lovely Friday afternoon. Until next time-- peace, love, & happiness.
