Sorry to add to the noise about the "party crashers," but this was disgusting.

[Bertha Venation]

I was watching the local (Washington, DC) news this morning at about 6:00.

They had a camera crew and a reporter at the hotel where the "party crashers" were to have their interview with the Today Show. They were right on top of the limo as the couple got out. The reporter noted that the woman hid her face and speculated that it was because she had not yet been made up for the day. Then the reporter breathlessly told us everything we already knew and have been hearing ad nauseum. Back to you, Joe.

I am thoroughly disgusted.

6. Yes. your response to Bertha's response

was new and enlightening. Imagine, a DUer snarking on another DUer for reporting what she heard in the media. That's never happened before...

4. This is a sign of a sick, celebrity-driven culture...

oh, and all media are scum.

5. This ^

It's really sad how superficial so many people are... IMO it's that love of superficiality that drives the worship of / obsession with celebrities.

7. Sometimes I don't know if it's the media that's making us addicted to this s**t

or simply catering to an addiction that's already there. But as long as people watch what they put on, they'll keep putting it on.

9. There are so many entertainment magazines...

I don't see how there's any doubt, really. If we don't like it, we don't have to buy it, but millions do.

10. People magazine sort of started it...there have always been movie and fan maagzines...

...but people is dedicted to the idea of celebrity and its worth, not really the celebrities themselves...a warped, but very profitable way of thinking.

8. Just reading some snippets about their interview.

Talk about the audacity of hope.....these people are something else. I can't believe they have real evidence showing they were invited.
