Media Royalty

From one of Hollywoods finest~

"Acting is the most minor of gifts and not a very high-class way to earn a living. After all, Shirley Temple could do it at the age of four."
- Katharine Hepburn

She's absolutely right.
Actors aren't dumb by any means...but they aren't brain surgeons, or MBA's either.
(Well, except for the ones who are brain surgeons or MBA's...???)

Why, as a society, do we give these people the kind of coverage we do?
Wait~

I don't give them coverage...
I don't read the trade mags...or the gossip stuff (and this is a conscious choice- BTW)
I turn them off when they start their "political-speek"...

The Media gives them coverage!

I'm really beginning to loathe TV...really.

It's a media orgy centered around minorly gifted, and low class wage earners- who have the right to speak...

and I have the right not to listen.

Thank goodness!
