Man, why celebrities feel they have to ‘attack the media’ when they are ‘attacked by the media’ I have no idea why. Message to the celebrities who feel attacked, just because someone posts something on the internet doesn’t make them the media. A gossip website isn’t the media. A guy in a bathrobe in his home typing on his computer talking about your weight isn’t the media. The only time when ‘the media’ will pick up on a story is when you send a publicist to send out a report in your behalf decrying the attack made by ‘the media.’ When you do this, the gossip magazines, which we’ll call the borderline media, is going to look for it and report on it, then, if we’re on a slow news cycle, some news companies will report it.

Now, I’m not even going to hit the silly argument some have made (and I guess by some you would call them the media) who have said it seems silly that, knowing there are camera around, some celebrities will go out in a bikini, inviting pictures to be taken and sold.

Case number one is the infamous Jennifer Love Hewitt is fat photos from a year ago. She was on a beach, some not so flattering photos were taken and a few blogs, who make their living from posting sexy photos of actresses, said she was fat. She calls them out on her blog and tells the press about how the press called her fat, relating them to her blog. Well, jeepers, if you hadn’t commented on it, or if you hadn’t directed them to the pictures, maybe the major press wouldn’t have cared to mention it.

Case number two is Tyra Banks who had non flattering pictures of her taken. Again, it was blogs famous for posting sexy pictures which commented on her pictures (notice a pattern) saying she was fat. No one cared until Tyra went on her show, mad about the comment, and cried and yelled about how if they (the media) considered her fat they could kiss her fat ass.

Case number three is Cheryl Burke from “Dancing With the Stars” who, yet again with the pattern, was on vacation in a bikini and blog spots called her fat. The next thing you knew she was on every entertainment magazine show decrying the mean spirited comments made by the press.

The recent one is Tara Reid, who just sent out a statement talking about how the media has attacked her for years and how the recent attack on her figure hurt her. The woman hasn’t made a movie or TV show in years, hasn’t even been drunk in public for at least a year and a half, and the only information I’ve heard about her have been with pictures taken of her in a bikini. So because some of the sites have talked about odd shapes they’ve seen in her figure, which she said was due to surgery, she goes to People Magazine and complains about how the press is persecuting her.

Guys, it’s not ‘the press’ and it’s not ‘the media.’ The sites that start the comments are nothing more than jerk off sites, places where guys whom you will never give the time of day to, and they know it, will comment on your figure because you don’t fit their ideal all the time. They’re mad because they think they work hard and get no recognition and you will strut in a bikini and you get a movie role. Yeah, there’s a lot more to it, but this is nothing more than the geeks making fun of the ‘cool kids.’ No one would care until you point a finger at them, yelling and screaming about it. That’s when ‘the media’ decides to look over and fill up a little bit of time with the fluff war you created.
