Ryan Seacrest works his little closeted arse off. He holds down a grillion jobs with a grillion networks and never has a social scandal following him. And the latter is certainly testament to his work ethic, because he is totally in the closet, and has managed to keep himself sequestered there even though he is on camera oh, I don’t know, 8 hours of every day of his life. So, I give the little man props on my web talk show. This little girl is giving that little guy big ups for working so hard. Even though he works for machines that are killing society and culture as we know it, he still has a bangin’ work ethic. I didn’t think that’s what the Walk of Fame in Hollywood was all about, though. I thought it was more about having a really long, storied career in the entertainment business, about having contributed work that meant something to a lot of people over a lot of years. Ryan Seacrest provides social commentary on Lindsay Lohan’s latest shopping trip and reads a teleprompter on American Idol. He reports on our cultural worst. He is just barely 30. Did he really deserve a star? He didn’t, if it were about what I thought it was about. Turns out, however, that you can just buy one for $15,000 if you go through an application process and meet some minimal requirements. I guess our little man worked hard to find out how to get him one of them stars and saw it through. Way to go, little man! When I was in Hollywood at the time his star was brand-new, I couldn’t resist standing on it and asking people their opinion of Seacrest. It’s fun to watch what they had to say. So I decided to cover it on my awesome web talk show. [More] [Less] |
