Oh yeah, cause no one gave a shit about the rat pack
[Read the article: Couric goes to bat for Lohan]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I just want to say, that I don't think the coverage of the dipshit 4 wunderkinds has to do with them being women. The Rat Packers were followed and their antics were reported on heavily.
I also recall lots of Johnny Depp coverage when he was dating Wynona and trashing hotel rooms, then doing coke and heroin with Kate Moss. Now he's more normal, so less coverage, plus he's older and has kids. Hallie Berry and Billy Joel have wrapped their cars around trees too, Billy Joel was the butt of many jokes for weeks.
These girls are fucking up their lives, so it get covered because for every one of those fuck ups, there are 100 other young actresses who aren't plastered on the TV news or getting arrested and it is certainly not my fault when they put these women's antics on the nightly news. I don't buy gossip rags or People or watch Entertainment tonight and other shows like it so the only reason I know what these women do is because of the NEWS, not the National Enquirerer, so blame yourself reporters.
Yes, LL has a drug problem and possibly a drinking problem and she needs help, but she's also a dumbass. So is Paris, so is Nicole so is Britney. They are all pretty, marginally talented entitled spoiled shits who are not book smart, they are not street smart. They flit through life on their looks and their money and being someone's little perfect princess. Britney throwing fits on planes because first class seat isn't leather, her and Paris buying new dogs for fashion accessories. So they are talked about because their level of stupidity and entitlement is astounding.
Lindsey is not a child, she is just a young woman with very little responsibility and so fills her days with drugs, shopping and binge drinking. What all these women need are to read some actual books, stop going clubbing every weekend, move to a place other than LA and perhaps a drill sergent life coach to show them how adults are supposed to conduct themselves. I'm not going to say oh po' wittle lindsey when a week out of rehab she thinks a nightclub is the place to be. She chose to put herself in a situation full of temptations instead of just um, staying home?
Oh and these ladies call the tabloids for coverage, they go to the "hippest" places where they know they'll be photographed, they live off the media attention, it's fairly easy to avoid it if you stay away from all the hot spots.

But I suppose reading Jane Austen's Emma is okay right.
[Read the article: The art of the pickup]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I personally think this show is just another version of Beauty & The Geek, with a different goal.
Teaching socially akward people how to get the opposite sex to pay attention to them, so they don't get stuck in "friend" mode all the time, or to get over their fears and insecurities and don't end up with a "Real Doll" as a girlfriend.
Finding a mating partner is a dance, there are people who are much better at the dance than others. They always have a date Friday night, even when they are fugly looking. You can't find the love of your life if you hardly ever date or are holding out for the one person you have your eye on to look back at you.
Every single one of us human beings uses psychological manipulation, we hone the skills playing poker, we learn them in therapy, um oh and we lie, a lot. How to approach people in a different manner, when your first approach is causing great frustration. You think picking up a book on how to be a great interviewee is any different than this shit, especially if you seem to be someone who gets the first interview but never the second? Ever hear of the three month rule, yeah you hide all the weird shit about yourself until someone is really liking you, then you let your freak flag fly and hope they stick around. I figure a show like this is just to teach these guys how to hide the freaky so they can get the deaky.
The mating game is a two way street and I have no problem with some guy named Mystery who is good at getting women to pay attention to him teaching other guys how to get these things to work for them any more than some woman goes to a plastic surgeon to help her in her prospects or signs up for a sports activity hoping to meet straight single guys when sports may not be high on her list.
When you have no dating skills, things like this show and the Game help a person navigate the dating world. Once they've figured out the basics, then they can move into the deep connections, but you'll never get a connection if you can't ever get a person to ever go out with you.
Oh and any woman who would fall for the hey, your ass is fat, wanna date and says yes deserves what she gets. I mean it's like that Seinfeld episode where Elaine becomes obsessed with the funny looking guy simply because he can't remember meeting her and stands her up and we all laughed because it is utterly ridiculous to date someone just because they don't think much of you, but some women do this.
Like how dare you not think I am the perfection of hotness, I'll show you!
