celebrity blitz


Ok so I am not so busy that I am not available for commenting on Miley Cyrus. I really don't bother with the celeb comings and goings but Miley has been really working the media and I hear her name in my office, see her pictures on every news page on the web so I can't seem to avoid finding out what the bleep she's up to now. So far, she got all freaky on MTV awards, sang a hit song about doing Molly, commented that she prefers Molly and weed compared to cocaine, drew Sinead O'Connor out for a girl fight then won herself a spot on SNL. That was pretty good but really, I think she needed to space them out a bit...it just all seemed to bowl the spotlight over a bit to quickly but we're so used to these things now we go oh wow! wth! then...on to the next thing, we move on and now, well I think we will forget about her for a while. My honest thought on the whole thing is I believe she does it all for show (duh) but I mean I don't think she really does Molly and parties as much as she purports to and neither is she really the persona she has taken on. The weed part I think she might have been doing for a while now because I've seen my brother who's smoked pot for eons and he has no idea how slow he is. His brain has slowed down so much it affects his speech. Compared to years ago when I was younger he's just not the bright person I used to know. I have to say, legalizing weed is probably just another tactic to continue dumbing down America. Anyway, so if we've forgotten about Miley then why am I writing this? Well unfortunately I saw Katy Perry on the Bruce Willis episode of SNL and thought of Miley and what I wanted to say about all the nonsense she's been doing and as for Katy and her Roar performance, well...I have yet to see her talent. My friends have a running joke about her "firework" song but that's about the only affect she has in my circles. I conscientiously try to boycott things I believe to be stupid and Katy Perry is one of them. - Others include, AT&T, Comcast (same thing), I'm close to boycotting Stop & Shop altogether, I tried to boycott Capital One when I dumped them but then they bought my credit card company so I'm back with them but I will do it again soon but on to my story - While watching the SNL episode she came on and started the Roar song and I immediately thought I knew that song from somewhere and wondered if she was about to do a cover. So I kept repeating the opening of her song to myself so it would jog my memory and while the song transformed to the song I was thinking of it hit me - The Lumineers Ho hey! she copied the rhythm! Check it out just at the beginning. So many songs copy songs that have gone before. There's hardly any real talent anymore it's all about smoke and mirrors. The talented is certainly not in the mainstream media.
