Pop Culture Round-Up
There has been a cornucopia of pop culture news that we really must review:
1. First, it was with great sadness that we learned heard Elizabeth Edwards had died from cancer. Not unexpected, but very sad all the same. And the news that John Edwards was by her side in the end, and there for his kids, just goes to show that it's really hard to kick the bastard out with the trash when he is the father of your children and you had a long history with him. I have no doubt that his children needed him, and I am glad he was there for them. But what a picture that painted. And I glad Elizabeth is no longer in pain, physically or emotionally.[image error]
2. The Hoff has lost his mojo. First, he was kicked off Dancing with the Stars early on (and he always had that look about him like he thought he'd be there for the long haul), and then, his reality show managed two episodes before it was canceled. Which just goes to show us that America really does have a standard. When you are filmed lying on the floor drunkenly trying to eat a burger, we don't like it. Who knew that was our bottom line?[image error]
3. Miley, Miley, Miley. So I had this discussion with my nephew. You are Miley Cyrus. You are smoking something that even Steve Tyler has never heard of. You have put yourself out there as the queen of clean teen living. On what planet do you think it's a good idea for your friend to film you? Don't you say to her, as she picks up her camera, "That's not a good idea?" And then, supposedly, they fall asleep and someone steals the video? All sounds very fishy to me. [image error]
4. Justin Bieber is not dating Selena Gomez. I could not care less about this kid, but the media powers of the world are slowly shoving him down my throat with a sledge hammer in case I have a tween girl at home. I don't. I don't want to know anything else about this kid. He's 16! How can he have a biography, much less an entire movie about his rise to fame? What has it covered, about thirty minutes? Please, please, for all that is good and holy, let Justin Bieber go live in Japan for awhile and give us a break![image error]
