Throwing it all away…..
This is a continuation of yesterday’s post, where I was talking about people who are grateful to have their jobs. This is the other side of the spectrum– the kids who are five minutes from losing everything, and are just going to have to learn their lessons, then end up coming back again when they can be grateful. Because for me, this whole topic boils down to gratitude. Get the door slammed in your face enough times, and the very moment it opens, you are IN, and you never want to pry that thing back open.
These are the people who don’t even know there IS a door yet, have waltzed right in, and have had everything handed to them, only to throw it away. I think when this happens to you, you end up becoming so jaded that you, for instance, camp out in the dressing room of Neiman Marcus, saying things like "Can we have my dog messengered over?"
Sadly, these people need time and perspective to learn the error of their ways. And by the time they get that, they’ll probably be irrelevant. If what yesterday’s group had in common was an amazing defiance of the Odds of Hollywood and an appreciation for what they’ve got, these guys have "too much, too soon" syndrome. This is how Whitney Houston goes from being the next Aretha Franklin to being a segment on "The Soup."
1. Lindsay Lohan — needs to go to college and eat Ramen noodles. She has lost all of her perspective.
2. Britney Spears. Seriously? I know it’s mean to kick someone when they’re down, but….seriously?
3. Winehouse. If she’s not dead by the magical Dead Musician Age of 27, I’ll eat a bug.
4. Mischa Barton from The O.C. — quit before the show ended, to do movies. Now just unemployed.
5. Joss Stone. I know, everyone thinks she’s so level headed, but did you read this? Oh yeah, she’s going full speed down Irrelevance Road if she keeps up that crappy attitude.
6. Michael Vick. It really would have been better if he’d had a HUMAN fighting ring at his house. Because…animal cruelty? Those PETA people are never going to let up now. It’s too bad, too, because he’s a really good quarterback.
7. Michelle Rodriguez. She’s not even on LOST anymore, and she’s going to jail for violating the terms of her DUI. Plucked out of obscurity for Girl Fight, only to return to obscurity….in the Los Angeles County Correctional system.
8. Nathaniel Marston, who you might not have heard of yet, and who you probably never will, because he’s about to be fired from One Life to Live after ATTACKING THREE PEOPLE WITH A CRATE in New York the other day. Some really famous people got their start on soaps (Julianne Moore, Kelly Ripa, Josh Duhamel from Las Vegas, to name a few), but I GUARANTEE none of them attacked people with a crate. Smooth.
9. Pete Doherty, who frankly I had never heard of before he was a bad influence on Kate Moss. That guy looks like he smells like feet, and is moments away from his fatal overdose.
How can you say that Mischa Barton is unemployed? She’s been working on 8 films that will be coming out soon! http://imdb.com/name/nm0059215/
Plus she’s working for Keds and Iceberg Fashions. People need to get their facts straight before they write!
Oh yeah, no way is Mischa Barton “unemployed”! Not only does she have eight films awaiting release, plus all of her Keds & Iceberg stuff, she’s also got several more films either in development or actually filming very soon. Despite what a lot of people seem to think, mostly based on poorly-reserched articles and websites, she’s probably one of the hardest-working young actresses around…
Gosh, thanks– Mischa Barton’s PR people! But, since this is my blog, I’ll call anyone I want unemployed!!!
WTF???????????!!!!!!
IF YOUR BLOG IS MADE TO BASH AND TALK BULLSHIT ABOUT PEOPLE KEEP IT PRIVATE, YOU LOSER!
WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE???
I JUST FEEL PIETY FOR YOU, GET A LIFE INSTEAD OF TALKING CRAP ABOUT SOMEONE YOU’RE CLEARLY JEALOUS OF!
MISCHA IS THE BEST IN THIS WORLD AND BASHING HER IN YOUR MEANINGLESS BLOG WONT MAKE HER STARDOM SHINE LESS BRIGHT!!!!!!!
EIGHT movies, dude! EIGHT!
ps. I dont care at all if you won’t public my comment btw, at least you’ll read it! And please save me from your childish lame comments, uh?
FAREWELL.
I guess you think that because you write a blog, it gives you the license to tell lies whenever you want to. And btw, we’re not PR people. You don’t have to be in PR to appreciate the beautiful and talented Mischa Anne Barton! I do, however, compliment you on having the courage to publish “Mischa is my life’s” comment.
Totally just because someone has a better career than you it doesent mean that you have to bash them..Mischa Barton is employed if she wasnt then there will be no 8 movies to be released soon!! So stop bashing Mischa Barton and the other people and get a LIFE
Holy shit. Yeah, Lori. I feel “piety” for you too.
Speaking of Mischa – did you ever watch that show Surveillance? They had a whole mini-ep about how Mischa Barton was doomed to become one of those out of work actors that no one cares about. Apparently they had their facts wrong too.
