Celebrity Semiotic

We are not fans of that awful Sarah Palin woman because she is insensitive and narrow-minded.

Her recent interview in front of a live turkey slaughtering station just proves to us again how wrong she is for America.

We do not need another know-nothing, do-nothing, farm rube -- we've had our fill of that over the last eight years.

We need intellectual integrity, a valuing of morality and deeds, and a cogency that live killings must never again be fodder for political gain.

When it comes to Sarah Palin and turkeys -- we can only know that, so far, the wrong bird is being slaughtered.

We were disappointed to learn Barack Obama's two beautiful daughters were invited to appear on Miley Cyrus' Hannah Montana television show.

There is no better way to destroy hope and reputation than by lowering oneself to the lowest common denominator.

We were thrilled to read today that the Obama babies will not be appearing on Hannah Montana:

An Obama aide has told the ‘New York Daily News’, ‘It's a generous invitation, but they simply aren’t going to be making decisions of that kind right now.’

Children deserve protection, not the spotlight, and Michelle and Barack have done the right and righteous thing as parents by sheltering their children from a fame they did not claim and should not own.

When Californians recently denied the right for same-sex marriages to be valid in their state, a great hatred was perpetuated against the minority interest in favor of the cruel majority.

People that are drawn to each other will find love any way they can -- be it legal or not.

So why not legalize the union to make everyone a greater part of the whole?

To discourage community and neighbors and bonding is to destroy society from the inside out -- and the legal recantation of love in California -- will only make the broken bonds even stronger.

There are no words that can be written or spoken to give quiet comfort to the horrible loss Jennifer Hudson suffered in losing her mother, brother and nephew in a brutal killing.

We can only sit with her and cry with her.

Support her Hudson-King Foundation for Families of Slain Victims when you can.

Ashley Todd is a Palin/McCain supporter and she claims an Obama supporter/robber attacked her and then demanded money before carving a "B" on her cheek.

Some believe her story is more hoax than crime.

The biggest problem with Ms. Todd's ever-changing story is that the "B" carved on her cheek is backward -- as if it someone drew it there while looking in a mirror -- and not "carved" there in the middle of a street assault.

Is Ms. Todd the new Tawana Brawley or Morton Downey, Jr.?

UPDATE:

Madonna and Guy Ritchie are splitting up -- and we champion the dissolution of their marriage because we never believed it was anything more than a publicity stunt to give Madonna a reason to use her fake British accent.

When two people decide to marry and create children just to collect them, we worry about the grander lesson being taught to the world at large where only money matters and love and confidence and coddling are pressed to the wayside as tasks to be done by caretakers and never parents.

Madonna and Guy should remain alone and independent for the rest of their lives -- that way they will not wound another innocent or foster the false idea that celebrity and fame are more important than tending the tears of your children broken by divorce and maimed by hurt feelings and scarred by the limelight of an international fame they did not ask for or earn.

The National Enquirer is reporting Jamie Lynn Spears pregnant again, a few short months after giving birth in June. 

She allegedly did not know she could get pregnant "while breastfeeding."

As we pity the 17-year-old child's bad decision-making skills -- and her vile inability to learn from her mistakes -- we cannot help but wonder where her mother was during the sexual education of her daughter? 

Was any attempt made to teach Jamie Lynn about birth control, moral duty, and social responsibility?

Since Jamie Lynn was unable to match her sister Brittany's starpower, is she now trying to one-up her as a baby-making babymama?

Jamie Lynn is in no rush to marry the father of her babies -- and that is yet another strange and immoral disconnect from a family that claims to set the standard for excellence in performance while failing the general test of basic family values. 

Our greatest concern is for these babies birthed into a world where they require the protection of their parents to survive -- yet those very parents have no clue even how to save themselves from their own mistakes.

Michael Phelps is another in a long line of wannabe superstar athletes who seeks fame over magnitude and money over propriety.

Will Phelps have the success in the marketplace like Mark Spitz?  No.  Phelps is a robot without heart or emotion.  You may not like Spitz, but at least he has a visible personality.

Phelps also has a strange double-jointed body that allows him an advantage in the pool.  Other athletes do not have that sort of curious disability, and so Phelps is more carnival sideshow than beloved superstar.

Sure, Phelps will always have a career in swimming, but he won't be the next Mark Spitz and he will certainly not reach the fame and glorious love people still hold dear for former Olympians Bruce Jenner and Mary Lou Retton.

Paul Newman died today and we weep over his corpse. 

Paul was a real artist.  He made movies he knew would be good.  He did not sell out his aesthetic for the almighty dollar.

Paul also had a great charity and he personally supported its essence with committed donations from his "Newman's Own" brand of salad dressing and other edibles.

We admire the man more than the monument and the greatest gift he left us was his clear example that we must always strive every day to be more than our making -- we must make more of each other and ourselves with every breath we take and the essence of life we exhale.

Brad Pitt is a real man.

Brad put his money where his heart is and donated $100,00.00USD to help fight the small minds that wish to overturn the California Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage.

Brad understands love seeks the memory of life in many forms -- and his honoring of the inspiration of humankind is just the sort of celebrity we need more of in the morals-barren Hollywood Hills.

Celebrate Brad with us.  Attend his movies.  Support his causes. 

Know with us that Brad Pitt is the man.
