I am so tired of Hollywood these days. People who have tons of money, changing partners as often as I change underwear, glorifying having babies without the benefit of marriage. Makes me sick to think that some think of them as role models.

Sorry to rant. I'll get off my soapbox now.

I agree with you 110% Donna! I don't even watch the Emmys. I guess it's because I don't even watch regular TV any more. If it wasn't for TLC, HGTV, Discovery Health and Animal Planet I wouldn't even need a TV.

There is a terrific song by Brad Paisley that deals with this. It's called Celebrity and here it is -

Someday I'm gonna be famous, do I have talent, well no
These days you don't really need it thanks to reality shows
Can't wait to date a supermodel, can't wait to sue my dad
Can't wait to wreck a Ferrari on my way to rehab

1st Chorus
'Cause when you're a celebrity
It's adios reality
You can act just like a fool
People think you're cool
Just 'cause you're on TV
I can throw a major fit
When my latte isn't just how I like it
When they say I've gone insane
I'll blame it on the fame
And the pressures that go with
Being a celebrity

I'll get to cry to Barbara Walters when things don't go my way
And I'll get community service no matter which law I break
I'll make the supermarket tabloids, they'll write some awful stuff
But the more they run my name down the more my price goes up

2nd Chorus
'Cause when you're a celebrity
It's adios reality
No matter what you do
People think you're cool
Just 'cause you're on TV
I can fall in and out of love
Have marriages that barely last a month
When they go down the drain
I'll blame it on the fame
And say it's just so tough
Being a celebrity

So let's hitch up the wagons and head out west
To the land of the fun and the sun
We'll be real world bachelor jackass millionaires
Hey hey, Hollywood, here we come

3rd Chorus
'Cause when you're a celebrity
It's adios reality
No matter what you do
People think you're cool
Just 'cause you're on TV
Being a celebrity
Yeah celebrity

Sorry to post something so long, but I just love this song.
