I just watched Tori Spelling on The Today Show. Why do news shows treat supposed stars better than politicians? It was obvious some questions wanted to be asked and they tiptoed around them like she was an accident victim asked to recall some grave trauma. She was asked about her marriage in the most tap dancing way, and when it was all done she pretty much said no comment. She’s on a reality show, they showed her and her husband having some heated talks which is why the question was posed, but she just did that whole, its private thing.

If it’s so bloody private don’t put it on a reality show!!

And talk about a sheltered life. This vapid Hollywood rail claimed she never had been in a truck stop. She said there aren’t any truck stops in California. I think she said California but I’ll give her the benefit and figure she really said or meant Los Angeles. Even giving her that it would be a surprise to the few truckers I’ve known who have been to truck stops in Los Angeles. I guess in the Tori Spelling world if you don’t see it then it can’t exist.

There was another woman who talked about her vain daughter who was a shopaholic. To help her daughter understand the plight of other people she made an arrangement for her daughter to work with the poor in India. Kind of sounds a little fishy but OK, I can see a frustrated mother wanting to show her daughter how other people live and sending her to India. However, just like Tori Spelling, it wasn’t just to teach her daughter a lesson, it was for income. It seems the mother is a filmmaker, director and screenwriter were the words the mother used, and while she said the right words when she said she didn’t want her daughter to have the conveniences she would have in the United States when doing help for the poor, the mother thought it was a good idea to use this opportunity to film the experience and make a documentary of it.

Doesn’t that defeat the purpose? How could her daughter be alone and experience what it was like to really help the poor when her mother was there with a camera, ready to bail her out and to protect her from harm?
