Am I just an old, jaded, desensitized grump who disagrees with everything out of sheer habit or do I say what many people feel, and don’t say anything?!? Looking at the list that Barbara Walters (Babba Wawwa for those of you who remember Rosanne Rosanna Danna) put together for her 10 Most Fascinating People of 2009 reads like the 10 Most Googled People on Earth. Frankly, Google should do their own online TV show and let Babba settle into the distance. Google-able and Fascinating are not the same thing in my mind. Let’s discuss for one minute the word fascinating. Any of you IMW readers will know that my expression FOTZ hails from the word “fascinating”. It is the most sarcastic version of the word. So, based on that reality check, here’s a some of the subjects from Babba’s Hit Parade.
Yes, yes...Gaga rules...yada yada. But she clearly studied at the Barack Obama School of Endless Media Coverage. And (B) the Abominable Snowman outfit was beyond ridiculous....not fascinating.
Hey, for ratings, Sarah Palin is sure to draw. And Babba, better late IS better than never.
Budding director Kate Gosselin has gone from most annoying to most fascinating in one fell swoop. ABC is happy to glom some of A & E's ratings...they don't care.
Of all people...gross baboon Glenn Beck? ABC wants Fox News' viewers too. Can't you just hear the planning meeting for this? FYI...This image was from a earlier I Mean...What?!? entry when Sarah Palin asked her Facebook fans to watch Glenn Beck. Politics makes strange bedfellows. But, hey, the season is young for both of them...they may very well be real bedfellows in the future...anything to get elected.
At the risk of upsetting my sister Vivian, Adam Lambert is really over exposed. Go sell a few records and get back to us when you it goes platinum. It's not his fault. His handlers are way too overzealous and also studied with Lady Gaga at the Obama School of Media Hype.
And wait...Jenny Sanford? Now, you tell me why not getting "it" from your hubby makes you fascinating. I'd say just the opposite. No? Something tells me this picture was not taken at last week's White House event.
Other entries at press time are Brett Favre for his sports fans to tune in, Tyler Perry in an effort to grab some Oprah viewers. Besides, Oprah and Tyler are in business with the film Precious, Oprah is plenty smart to hurl him at La Babba. The last two of the most fascinating folks are not revealed at press time. Could it be an Obama? A Johnston? Another Gosselin?
LOVE BECK & PALIN! AT LEAST SOMEONE IS SPEAKING UP FOR US!
Yikes.
