Did anyone watch Posh's TV show last night?

[homesick_american 1]

Gwyneth Paltrow too...since she thinks we're all dumba$$es anyway.

I've always found her little pronouncements a little ironic since she is as dumb as 2 planks (nice girl, but....)

Yeah...she's pretty up her own ### about her own intellectual abilities.

I just caught the last half of the show. I thought it was pretty good. I watch a lot of TV (thank you TiVo). I always find it amusing on english views on how things work and how people are in the US.

They did this kind of thing with Princess Di's legs too. It must be a bad camera angle or enhancement or something. I can't believe VB lost THAT much weight, that the elasticity went in her legs already.

I always hate when the paps do this sort of thing...it's like they have to search for a flaw just to point out as if to knock the person down. But they do it because it sells....and many people all over the place are going to relish in her imperfection out of their own insecurities.

I think the programme clearly showed how dull a life she has, despite the wealth. They obviously had to make up things for her to do - bring in an earthquake specialist, go visit Perez, throw a pitch at the Dodgers game, etc. Even her hamming it up for the cameras didn't make it entertaining.

True, but she just makes it so easy. Plus, those photos are pretty shocking; those legs belong to someone my age. *shudder* Yikes. The sad thing is that that's not really fixable and it'll only get worse over time.

It just goes to show how crazy we are...first, we build em up, then we knock em down.

Pretty much, yup.

Media builds 'em up - to sell papers, magazines, TV advert space, etc. Celebs want the publicity and will do whatever it takes to enhance the build-up. I've got no sympathy for some attention ####### moaning about how mean the paparazzi are when the inevitable happens.

The media only builds em up because there's a demand in society for it. If no one gave a toss, then rags and mags wouldn't sell.

NOT our mags btw, lol

But why is in 'inevitable'? That's my point.

Because 'something' has to happen to keep selling the mags, or whatever. If you check out the mags in the supermarket aisle, you can see headlines saying that Brad & Angelina are planning a 2nd honeymoon on one, and bringing in divorce lawyers on another. Saying "Oh, these celebs are wonderful" over & over again ain't gonna sell nuffin. And celebs aren't gonna be great forever (see Paul McCartney, Marlon Brando...)

The media does give society what it wants, of course. A section of it, anyway. But they play the tune. People watch stuff on TV cos it's there, not cos it's good stuff they want to see, by and large. Saying 'the people want this shite' doesn't quite cut it, in my opinion. If every network showed needlepoint for an hour at exactly the same time - they'd still get viewers!

This is what makes me glad that I am *nobody famous* :dance:

I actually think these kind of photos are helpful - the image of perfection these 'slebs want to portray is unattainable without the aid of photoshop and digital retouching. The average teenage girl who is trying to be skinny needs to know that.
