    the real elite

    the real elite wouldn't let you watch their lives for entertainment.

    that's britney spears' or anna nicole's job. either way, really desperate and pathetic.

    so of course you get the tack. you'd be surprised at the tact of people who make that kind of money.

    but it's cute, heather, that you think you have a VIP pass to the lifestyles of the rich and modest from your living room.
