Uselessness Cynicism

Innocent Unless Proven Otherwise
I shouldn’t be shocked by how many people claim to know better than the court system when it comes to Michael Jackson. Sure, justice fails and has its flaws but lay-peoples’ blanket statements about how, when and why it works are just as bad. …

He’s Aliiiiiive!
It didn’t take long for the conspiracy theorists to pop up all over the Internet and proclaim Michael Jackson’s death a hoax. …

The Eve of the Era of Adam
American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert is planning a fall debut album. But a company he did some earlier pre-Idol recording for, now says it will release those songs as Lambert’s first album in the summer and Adam is freaking out, to put it mildly. It’s the same as if a sleazy photographer came forward with cheap-o nude shots of a Hollywood starlet just before her tastefully done photo layout in Vanity Fair hits newsstands. It happens.

An Ugly Split
I’ve never understood how anyone could want to destroy someone they were once married to. By the same token, I’ve never really understood how they can stay close friends, either, but that’s a blog for another day.

Half-Pint Tells All
Most former child stars who reveal the sordid details of their personal lives don’t grab my interest. Exceptions have been Danny Bonaduce (Danny Partridge) and Maureen McCormick (Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!). But I had loved, lived and breathed both The Partridge Family and The Brady Bunch in their days. (Don’t judge me! I was a kid and as we all know, kids have no taste!) And now toss on the pile Little House on the Prairie’s Melissa Gilbert (Laura Ingalls Wilder) who has written a new book called Prairie Tale. …

A True Superstar
So American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert is on the cover of Rolling Stone to finally announce to the world that he’s gay. I have one response. …

Be Me Ever So Humble
I don’t think Jay Leno is the funniest comedian ever but he is a survivor and now a legend who took over the reins of The Tonight Show from Johnny Carson 17 years ago today and that in itself earns him a measure of respect. …

Celebrity Voices for a Worthy Cause
Filmmaker Ed Burns and supermodel Christy Turlington never became Edsty or Chrisward or, in short, the kind of star-powered couple that the tabloids feed on. …

Personal Responsibility
Oh this is rich. But let me first say that this is not a rant against men. It’s a rant against two men. Two rich, egomaniacal, self-centred and overly pampered men who believe they do no wrong. Now that that’s on the record…. …

Billy-Bob Jerkton
If you haven’t seen it yet, CBC’s Jian Ghomeshi handled himself brilliantly in the presence of a billigerent, egomaniacal and angry Billy-Bob Thornton yesterday. Ghomeshi was interviewing the “musician” and inadvertently angered Thornton by referring to his acting career, which is obviously how most of us would know him, despite the fact that he apparently thinks of himself as a legendary musical genius. …

I Wish I Were An Idol Judge
And if I were, I would first praise Ryan Seacrest for being as smooth as silk and dependably affable. Ben Mulroney, you could only dream of ever coming close to Seacrest’s level of professionalism. …
