Melissa Joan Hart Is My Hero Today As She Rants About Twitter And Reality Stars
Melissa Joan Hart is doing some press for some made for tv movie she made with Joey Lawrence. Yeah, I know. I am not really here to talk about her acting choices. As much money as she has, and she has a lot, you would think she could find a project to produce and star in that didn't have to feature Joey Lawrence.
Anyway, in one of the interviews she gave, she started talking about how if the internet had been big when she was 20, there were times when people would have thought she was Lindsay Lohan and so she is grateful no one was there to see it.
She then went into a priceless rant about Twitter.
"I have friends that have celebrity friends on Twitter that have had to dis-friend them, I don't know what you'd say, turn them off, because they would just get so many that it fills up in their in box and they don't have time for checking 'I'm walking into Starbucks,' 'I'm getting a soy latte,' 'I'm putting Splenda in the soy latte,' 'I'm walking out of Starbucks,' 'I validated my ticket." I don't have time for that."
No one has time for that. Why does the entire world need to know what you are doing every five seconds. I know that at some point someone is going to figure out how to attach GPS to Twitter through your phone and so not only will you know what everyone
is doing all of the time, you will know exactly where they are at all times.
I really didn't think it could get better than that. But, I was wrong. She saved the best for last when she trashed The Hills and reality stars in general.
"I know my little sisters are crazy for it [Twilight] I'm just glad to see there's finally a little emphasis on some talent driven projects instead of reality crap. Especially to see 'The Hills' kids' faces plastered every where, it's like what have they done? Who? What? I feel so old, I go to red carpet sometimes and I'm reading the magazines and I don't know who half these people are ... I have no idea [about] this Melissa [Rycroft] 'Bachelor' person? She was on the cover of PEOPLE magazine. I've had a career for 27-years, I've never been on the cover … are you kidding me? In like a year, no one will know who the hell she is."
Yes, but the problem is that for one week people knew who she was and wanted to know more about her so she sold magazines. But, I get her point. The thing is Melissa could be on more covers but she would have to go around getting drunk every night and get arrested a few times so people would notice. Oh, and I think she is getting a People cover finally, so don't feel too bad for her.
Not being on the cover of People might be a good thing.
ReplyDeleteum...who is this woman?
ReplyDeleteDon't know the Bachelor woman either.
I know, I know, I'm in a backward part of the world...Maybe I should watch cable more often. On second thoughts, no.
Everything she said is true. Some of the people I see in Random Photos I glance over because I have no clue who they are. I don't even know of some of the names that come up during BI guesses.
ReplyDeleteI agree about twitter. I don't get it.
ReplyDeleteMaybe if Melissa actually had some TALENT she would've gotten a People cover. Heck, if she'd been remotely interesting, pretty, etc? Fact is, if you're none of these things, you're not going to land on any covers.
ReplyDeleteThe Hills celebutards *shudders* at least are somewhat attractive. Sometimes. They are even mildly entertaining when at their worst.
I do agree about the Twitter though.
Her thoughts about Twitter are 100%correct and I couldn't agree more. I know someone on here the other day thought that those of us who weren't into Twitter thought we were saying we are above everyone else. No, what I am saying is about 98% of Twitter users write the stupid crap that MJH is talking about. It's glorified instant messaging people - get over it.
ReplyDeleteHey Ent, is the German pop singer girl with HIV that passed it to someone the same pop singer from the BI?
ReplyDeleteShakey is right. And what gets me is that celebrities used to have to pay their dues before they were considered stars. Now after one song or tv appearance these folks are treated like royalty. I'm not an ancient fuddy duddy either but there are stars whose songs I have never heard of and whose movies I have never seen.
ReplyDeleteI'm getting on the Shakey bus.
ReplyDelete*(laughs at own lame joke)
*scoots Surly over to share the Shakey-bus seat*
ReplyDeleteYep... nobody viewed her Lohan-ish-ly when she was 20...
ReplyDelete(cough)

Me, I just love the smile on her babies face in that photo. Priceless!
ReplyDeleteBut the main difference between Melissa and Lindsay, is that Melissa did that for a men's magazine, Lindsay... well she will do that for a church newsletter.
ReplyDeleteThat, and Melissa never went to rehab and actually is talented and respectable.
*doubled over laughing at Share's idea of 'talented'*
ReplyDeleteDamn, Clarissa. You really DO know how to explain it all, and I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU.
ReplyDeleteTwitter is ungodly narcissistic and totally fucking asinine.
Also, WBotW -- different strokes, dude. No need to be a gigantic dickhead about it. I'd love to know who YOU consider talented.
ReplyDeletei've always liked her, and her shows were age appropriate in our house. we even watched her wedding show, i'm only slightly ashamed to admit!
ReplyDeleteThen later she shook her fist at some kids that were playing near her yard while saying "you damn kids and yer music!" After which she made herself a nice lukewarm cup of tea and went to bed.
ReplyDeleteLOL, Miss Cupcake!
