What’s With…?

Who out there doesn’t have a love-hate relationship with Hollywood, and the entertianment industry as a whole? Whether it’s a bone to pick, or a pat on the back, some things going on in celebrity-ville just have to be addressed.

What’s with Flo Rida being basically the most mainstream rapper ever? Like, more so than Lil Bow Wow when he was still Lil? It’s like Flo (ha, now he sounds like someone’s old aunt) is Disney’s version of a gangster rapper. I’m not knocking Flo for it. He’s laughing all the way to the bank. And it doesn’t seem like he’s doing it on purpose. Everyone just likes him. He performed this morning on the Today Show’s concert series, and during the audience pan, I saw 65-year-old white women, 5-year-old little boys, middle aged men - all rocking out to the infectious hit “Right Round.” Which, if you listen to the lyrics, wasn’t meant to be a family sing along. Whatever works, Flo.

What’s with anyone liking, nay, obsessing over the following: True Blood, Twilight, Mylie Cyrus, a certain couple from The Hills that I refuse to name, The Bachelor(ette), Dancing With the Stars, the Kardashians, Vanessa Hudgens (maybe because she can’t keep her clothes on), Lady Gaga, and Robert Pattinson (DOESN’T SHOWER). This is why other countries don’t like us. Robert couldn’t have become such a heartthrob in native UK. Only here do girls let something like hygiene slide.

What’s with giving anyone a reality show? Brooke Hogan! The family of Tobey Maguire, not even the actor himself, who already is the most boring person alive! A bunch of women who somehow didn’t know they were pregnant!

What’s with the MGM Grand in Las Vegas?! They invite celebs - or lack thereof to host their annual pool party, in the past the list has included Lindsay Lohan, Kim Kardashian, and Lauren Conrad. Well, not that that’s a high standard to begin with, but this year they’re having Jon Gosselin host. And they’re billing him as America’s Favorite Father! WTF? Here’s a hint to why he doesn’t come close to deserving that title, MGM Grand: he’s hosting your party, no kids in tow!

What’s with Alex Rodriguez and Kate Hudson? In general, as people? And as a couple?

That is all. For now.
