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.
