I Am, Apparently, Completely Out of the Loop
Upon stumbling across this story, which AOL Mail's home page seems determined to make me aware of, I have only one question:
Heidi and Spencer Pratt were on THE HILLS. I only know this because I watched I'M A CELEBRITY! GET ME OUT OF HERE! in which Spencer annoyed the hell out of everyone, then announced that he and Heidi were too famous to be in the jungle with the likes of two Baldwin brothers and Lou Diamond Phillips.
Thank you thank you thank you. Someone mentioned Heidi last week in a blog post about celebrities, and the only comment I could muster was, "Who the hell is Heidi Pratt?"
I think they were in some reality show together and then got hitched. Or had sexual intercourse in public. With Paris Hilton. Ask Bill Crider, he knows all about Paris Hilton.
They're strangers of mine. But they aren't alone in that. The other day I saw a top 20 list and could identify maybe two of the artists.
I mean, who the fuck is Lady Gaga? And why the sudden proliferation of singers with one name? Used to be Cher and Madonna, now every girl with a reasonable set of pipes can't be bothered with two full, easily spelled names.
Patti Blagojevich is on that show. I like her a lot better than her douchebag husband.
And so, apparently, does this former basketball player.
(Hey, if you have an athlete acting fairly honest vs. a husband who ruined the family getting himself impeached by trying to screw the President of the United States, would you not be just a tad tempted?)

Never heard of 'em.
I have no idea.
And you know something? I'm good with that.
Extrapolating from captions and commentary, they must be on some "reality" show that I've never heard of either.
This explains a lot.

It was the first I heard of them.

It's good to know I'm not alone.

Jesus, I sound like my grandfather.
I'd take Lou Diamond Phillips in the jungle any day! (Or anywhere else, for that matter...) Obviously, this is a woman with truly incurable bad taste.
It's nice to know that I'm not the only one. And it occurs to me that this is acually one of the few instances that getting old is an advantage.
Isn't that the one former Illinois Gov. Rod "The Ego" Blagojevich wanted to be on?

Lou Diamond Phillips was on that show? That's sad.
