The Gay Man is Conspiring Against the Hetero...

Isaiah Washingting Is Part of A Conspiracy

I mentioned previously that I'm picky about the things I will sit on my couch and take time out of my night to watch. I actually watch a LOT of TV shows, but I wait until they come out on DVD and watch them on my own time. Grey's Anatomy is one of the shows I actually watch on television. Besides the fact that this season sucked in comparison to the first and second season, and the finale definitely left something to be desired, the thing that irked me the most (about this season) was the scandal behind the scene's.

For some time the drama with Isaiah Washington and T.R. Knight completely overshadowed the success of the show. People started petitioning for the firing of Isaiah because of that pesky gay slur he uttered at some award show. I admit, when I watched the clip on YouTube my jaw dropped. I'm a huge supporter of the gay community, one of my best friends is gay, and I pretty much come unraveled if someone attacks them. So, I wasn't a fan of Isaiah Washington after seeing that clip, but I wasn't ready to have him kicked off the show. Dr. Burke was one of my favorite characters, he was a strong character, I thought he was getting enough crap for what he said and he had apologized so why fire a good actor for being a bad human being. A lot of actors leave something to be desired in reality.

It seemed like it was blowing over, then I just had the craptastic finale to deal with, and my opinion of the show was in limbo over THAT. But then the news came that they had fired Isaiah. And now this. In this article he says that T.R. Knight should be fired, because he was actively trying to pit Patrick (McDreamy) and Isaiah against each other to get them BOTH fired. Apparently T.R. is some kind of mastermind that has used the gay community to garner sympathy and get the two leading men on the show fired. According to Isaiah, Patrick agrees with him on everything, but they were instructed by the Disney Corporation to keep their mouths shut. The whole article reads like a bitter man trying to sell his secrets to the National Enquirer. Of course, I'm not behind the scene's and I don't know what really happen. Maybe T.R. Knight is on some campaign to be the most famous Grey's man or maybe not. Maybe Isaiah is an asshole and nobody wants to touch him now that he made a fool of himself insulting more than half of the men/women in Hollywood. I don't know.

The point is, I don't care. As soon as people stop writing articles about this man he opens his mouth to get put back in the spotlight. I don't care about the soap opera going on behind the soap opera, I just want to watch my television shows in peace. He's not only spouting off the most asinine story, but he's also putting words in other cast members mouths, as well as the people behind the scenes on the show. If it is true, he's just put some people in very awkward positions when he had no right to even be speaking on their behalves. If it ISN'T true, then he is just crazy. Straight up, homophobic-paranoia-Tom Cruise-Crazy.

But I'm ready for someone to just finally tell him to shut his mouth. The rest of the world does not care that you got fired. Badmouthing the show that made you more famous than you were before, is not such a smart move. Why do people keep doing this? We've got Mandy More talking crap on her first album, and yeah it was crap, but COME ON it made you famous. So shut your pretty little mouth and make the music you want, for once...

Holy tangent.

Let me get back to the issue at hand. This fool opens his mouth trying to garner some kind of sympathy from the general audience, meanwhile, he's losing it. I was sympathetic when I found out they let him go, I like Dr. Burke and thought it was their loss to lose him, so I felt bad and a little upset. But now that he won't shut up, now that he's dragging this out and doing all this shit talking, I've stopped being sympathetic. Now, I'm just at the point where I hope this all backfires and blows up in his face somehow.

At this rate, Shonda should give up on Grey's Anatomy and write a show about what goes on BEHIND the scene's of a popular doctor drama. Sounds much more thrilling the the season finale she's so damn proud of.

Poor Little Rich Girl Gets Richer

NBC Offers Paris Hilton One Million Dollars to Talk

I went to Nashville two weeks ago for the annual CMA Fest, I like country music, so sue me. While I was there I watched a lot of CNN while getting ready in the morning, and to my surprise, CNN was ONLY talking about how Paris Hilton had been let out of jail. They had minute by minute updates on whether the judge was going to order her to appear in court, they followed the police car from her house to the court house, and gladly waited outside to announce that Paris was being sent back. As an avid follower of pop culture, it would have been something that interested me, only I wasn't watching CNN to know what was going on with Paris Hilton. I was TRYING to keep up on the news, since I didn't have my usual internet access, and silly me thought CNN reported the news. Not Paris Hilton's every move.

The topic of Paris Hilton and her minions (Lindsay, Britney, and whoever else would like to be associated) was part of a lot of conversations I had that weekend, particularly with my mom, who was outraged that they even let her out in the first place. One of the things my mom was angry about, was that she'd have the chance to get out of jail and reports would be doing back flips to sit her down in a chair and get her experience on tape. Well, I didn't think that would be the case. I thought for sure people would be over it, it would blow over, and people would generally not care to hear Paris' account of jail on every news channel for lord knows how long. Then I read this article when I woke up this morning.

All I could think was "ONE MILLION DOLLARS?"

I sat on that thought for a while. Why would NBC shell out that much money to hear some whiny, spoiled rich girl complain about jail. Don't we all have a general idea of how jail is? Bad food, bad bedding, and even worse company. We could pull any plain jane on the the television to tell us how her experience in jail was, and we don't, but for some reason for Paris Hilton that changes?

I watch TV rarely, and when I do, I hold high expectations for what I'm watching. This is not something I will take time out of my day to sit on my couch and watch. Why? Because I don't care how Paris felt in jail. I don't care how horrendous of an experience it was. People go to jail all the time, I watch my step and obey the law, to avoid any jail going experience in my future. Paris didn't do that.

Not to mention she's done nothing but try and look like the victim, holding her head high as she faces her jail sentence. She's thrown every bullshit line she can out at the press, and I don't believe any of it. She's pissed off that people are making fun of her because she doesn't have control of what they're making fun of this time. Unfortunately, Paris will never NOT be made fun of. I will never take Paris seriously, even if she started pulling a Jolie and adopting babies from other countries (truth be told I still don't take Jolie all that seriously). I can't really understand why we want anything to do with this woman, why we want to hear about her story and allow her the chance to be the poor little rich girl being held down by THE MAN.

Maybe she has changed. Maybe she'll finally grow up and take some responsibility for the bullshit she's been blaming other people for. Maybe Lindsay and Britney will follow in her footsteps and they'll stop acting like 16 year old high school girls, desperate for attention and praise. But I doubt it. I think we'll get a couple months of more bible-toting, white dress wearing, spiritual book buying Hilton. Then she'll be back at the clubs drinking her life away and making sex tapes.

She says the media has been using her. Well, when you put yourself out there like that, sweetie, what do you expect? You've made a joke out of yourself and now you want to blame the media for it. Like it's their fault. We didn't force you to make a sex tape or do a really terrible reality show to showcase how ridiculously dumb and spoiled you are. You did that on your own. You dug your grave, Ms. Hilton. Now lie in it.

Now I'm off to the Foo Fighters secret show tonight. I will not be thinking of Hilton at all throughout this experience.
