I just wrote a post about Kathy Griffin. With regards to Perez Hilton and all the 15 minuters, I'm not super familiar with him and at the same time I don't give them as much attention, mainly because they're not my cup of tea. But I do like the internet, if only for the fact that it widens the audience. American media, we have to admit, has been barreling down a tunnel of suckage. There is a large pool of creative people out there that couldn't be heard beforehand, but who now have a voice. (And yes, there are going to be a ton of low grade internet entertainers as well.) My resolve: "Let the market decide." That's why NBC and all the other big networks are scrambling for the reigns. With the advent of YouTube and cheap Prosumer products (cameras, editing equipment), movie studios and network tv is going to have to fight to create better quality product. I'm a standup comedienne. And I am personally on a crusade to bring the entertainment value up and to compel people/an audience to come with me. By the way, this is my first time at your blog, and you have a lovely way with words--very cheeky and clever. Feel free to stop by my side of the blogosphere and leave a comment. I would love to get your opinion, firsthand. How ironic? I just wrote a post about Kathy Griffin.

I've been the big blog slacker the past few weeks. I had forgotten how much I enjoy your clever and creative approach to things. Seriously, I'm not doing it justice here but I think you should have your own show or something. Regarding Perez Hilton, a friend and I were just speaking about him last night on the phone. We agreed he should lose some weight and stop dying his hair bizarre colors. I think Kathy Griffin really likes him though. Then again, she loves the gays, doesn't she?
