Thank God that’s over!
Today concludes my week as a celebrity blogger.
You might be curious, how I felt writing about Britney, Paris, Angelina, KanYe and Madonna instead of my usual childbirth recovery topics of blood, snot and tears?
Overall? It felt really dirty and more than a little hypocritical talking about celebrities just to gain traffic and raise awareness about reproductive health. The paparazzi must live lives of terrible self-loathing.
I am also feeling ashamed of myself. June Callwood, my hero, died today. She taught me, and millions of other Canadians, never to turn our eyes from injustice, from violations of human rights or from the weak or just unlucky. June would have hated the idea of celebrity week.
Luckily, I did it all for a good cause.
Don’t beat yourself up. Celebrities CHOOSE to live in glass houses for the sake of fame.
As a “Celebrity Blogger” your statements kind of stung – albeit briefly.
The celebs you spoke of are the ones that gauge their popularity and strength by how many are talking about them.
“live lives of terrible self-loathing”?
Nope, not me
Glad you at least tested the celebrity blogging waters for a time. I’ll agree, it’s definitely not for everyone
Ah, come on Gayla. Everything works both ways.
Ever read “Entertaining Ourselves to Death” by Neil Postman?
Are you camped out in your car with a telephoto lens, unshowered and peeing into paper cups while you wait for Shar Jackson to open her curtains?
