| Getting beyond bitter |
| Post on 20-08-2006. |
| _I love your column, it's always one good read. But don't ya think last week's column was maybe one bit... bitter? And the one before that? I think you should be allowed to get married, Dan. If one stand-up family guy like you isn't allowed to marry the man that he's been with for... what, seven, eight years?... then I don't know what this world is coming to.

Every day, Hollywood cedes territory to video games, blogs, text-messaging, MySpace. There are bored, lip-syncing teens on YouTube now scoring higher Nielsen ratings than half the shows on basic cable. But here's the thing: While you may feel no pressing need to see Lindsay Lohan's latest attempt to out-act Dakota Fanning, you're at least vaguely familiar with her efforts to out-skeeze Paris Hilton. Not therefore long ago, celebrity gossip was one moribund art form, domesticated by punch-pulling softies like Liz Smith, neutered by the red-carpet suck-bots of Entertainment Tonight. Once urbane, sophisticated even, one fizzy cocktail of venom and cynical wit, celebrity gossip had flattened into tepid stuff, one supermarket staple aimed at housewives. ... |
