Reality TV, Celebrity and My Confessions

I'm so painfully out of the loop when it comes to this new brand of celebrity. Reality TV is not for me.  It is one, not reality and two on TV.  I care not.  Due to this aversion, I'm discovering people that have been around for years and some new, by different avenues.  I don't know if I'm in a minority or majority with these   feelings.  So here are some thoughts about people I've recently discovered or have become more aware of.

Channing Tatum - a feast for the ladies' eyes?  Does it bother anyone what a terrible actor he is?
Sorry Ladies, he's taken and his wife is super hot.

Emma Watson - I have seen her on screen for about two minutes, as a child and knew nothing about her. Saw a picture a few weeks back and she's turned into a Audrey Hepburn-esque beauty.

Lana Del Ray - OK, I'm lying, I was one of the first to post how great she was when I heard Video Games. She's even better than that. Amazing vocal talent, lost in a pop world.

Miley Cyrus - Hannah Montana doesn't fit my standard as a beauty, but I loved her style and understanding of gala at the MET celebrating punk fashion.  People much older didn't get it.

One Direction - I don't get how the music aspect of this group means nothing to people. They are average looking guys with absolutely no singing talent.  Why aren't The Wanted the big current boy band. They can actually sing.

Mad Men - Absolutely, positively one of the worst written and acted shows I've ever been unfortunate to watch. Everything about it is repulsive and yet people, even women, go on an on about it. I'm infatuated with Christina Hendricks and even she can not make me watch this show.

30 Rock - Despite my love of Tina Fey and respect for Alec Baldwin as an actor, this show was terrible. I admit to only seeing three to four episodes over it's tenure, but they were all exactly the same.  I vote Tracy Morgan as the unfunniest man on the planet....is that a thing?

Parks & Recreation - Love everyone on this show....hate the show.

Game of Thrones - saw ten minutes of this and was bored to tears. Might give it a try down the road, but not my cup of tee.  I've already seen I'Cladius and read Shakespeare, so maniacal kings and queens don't impress me these days.

I had never heard of Demi Lovato until she was on X Factor and I saw a clip. She looked like this and I thought meh

Then I saw this pic of her on twitter, where she was urging her fans to go without makeup and post their true beauty.  

Now that's a beautiful girl....and then she did a cover of Rihanna's Stay, that was better than Rihanna's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voSuQ1IWd7M Her vocal range is amazing.

John Oliver - Jon Stewart's temporary replacement is absolutely killing it in his new role as host of the Daily Show. His dry British wit adds another dimension to the shows sarcastic humor. His early bits are rivaling some of Stewart's best.

Farrah Abraham - Apparently this woman was on a show called Teen Mom. Never saw it and never heard of her and then I saw a R rated version of a porno she shot with a real porn star. According to reports she has sex, in every way possible and is now the butt (lots of pun intended) of tons of jokes. Here's the thing.  The girl is a mom. She sold her soul to be made a laughing stock out of for MTV. Now she's collected nearly a million dollars for having sex on camera. She's a pretty girl and if she has guidance and smarts, she and her baby are set for life. No fault in doing whatever it takes to give your child a good life.

Michael Fassbender - This guy has almost stole my man crush status away from Ryan Gosling. Why aren't ladies going nuts over this talented actor. See Shame and then get back to me.

Sadly, I can't even think of anyone else to talk about other than Kim & Kanye and I don't want to.

11 Rules of Life - Bill Gates?

I read this on Facebook this morning.  A friend had posted it and said that every child should have to receive this. I of course read it and started to think.  I immediately wondered who really wrote this, as I rarely see things like this attributed to the proper person.  I immediately found it was written by Conservative Charles J. Sykes when he wrote a book about how America is dumbing down our youth.  I read it twice and started to wonder how true it was.  Below is a link to the actual picture I saw. So let's look at each of the rules and analyze them. Rule 1: Life is not fair — get used to it! - Life is not fair in that we are not all afforded the same opportunities based on race, creed, color, socio-economic background, but in general, those who are afforded the same opportunities to succeed are very often rewarded for their individual efforts.  Sure there may be underlying circumstances, but hard work is proven to pay more often than not and those who strive for succ

White Privilege

This was a post I wrote on Facebook after surprisingly not seeing any moaning about the Documentary by Jose Antonio Vargas, titled White People Dayyum! I just scrolled my timeline and not a single white person got their feelings hurt by White People. I unfortunately haven't seen it, but the number of fake accounts that popped up on twitter, tells me it was a damn good show. Here's the thing. If someone of color aka non-white says "White Privilege," are you offended? If you said yes, then you are exhibiting white privilege. It has nothing to do with how hard you work or study, how you stayed out of trouble, because here's the thing, that is entirely the point. Somewhere out there, there are 100 Black, Spanish, Native American, Arab, Asian, who worked and studied as hard as you and never got in trouble, but they don't have what you "earned" or achieved. Stop looking at the one person you know who isn't white that achieved as your benchmark. Loo

Quickie Review - Finding Vivian Maier

While I thoroughly enjoyed the film, especially the first 15-20 minutes, I was a little bothered by the way the film played out. The interviews with the clearly disturbed brother, sister and the mother, who obviously, was in for a cut, didn't need to be in the film. Then the woman who suggested abuse, yet seemed to have her life defined by Maier, as she tried to muster every ounce of emotion and fake guilt. Her friend, more than happy to be party of the charade. People who talk about abuse for the first time, usually don't do so on camera. The fact these scenes were so prominent, shows that they felt wronged that they were not rewarded. Maloof on the other hand, seems to disappear from the documentary during this part, almost hiding away from the fact, he went from complete praise, to even making money off of her, to destroying her personal legacy. He almost mentions the family of boys taking care of her rent, as an afterthought. Her burial spot, never shown, yet a video of her
