It's easy to understand why I follow screenwriters since that is an ambition of mine, and musicians since this is probably the best way to promote themselves. I say that it's the best way to promote themselves because I could really care less about their blogs and multimedia. Just tell me how many hours I have to drive to get to your show, and I'll be happy.
Otherwise I follow comedians since they know they are expected to write something funny with each tweet. It is a chance for me to appreciate their genius, but it is probably through their output that I started to follow the feeds of celebrities.
Robot Chicken has always had support from the celebrities that they parody, so when they recommend following Rachel Leigh Cook, I decided it couldn't hurt. She actually had an insightful quote once, so I thought it was a worthwhile decision to follow her. Since it is difficult to find people to follow, I went through her following list and picked the Charmed chicks out. Alyssa Milano was known for her baseball insight, and Rose McGowan...after Grindhouse failed to revive her career, I was curious how she is getting along.
Needless to say, you get a lot of self-righteous garbage spouted by these girls. They are pretty good about not tweeting to make the "Twitter Tracker" segments of The Tonight Show, but they seemingly feel their opinions are more important than everyone else. The problem with this is they only get 140 characters, so they do not explain their opinion. It leaves their followers to think that because they say it, it must be right.
Alyssa Milano Stupid Tweet:
Ummm... Obama called Kanye a jackass because... Kanye is actually a jackass. No big whoop.
Can we really support celebrities placing vocal pauses in tweets? Teachers say it it good for writers because they have to be concise. Then again, in her 20+years as an actress, she has never had the ambition to create her own projects. This kind of takes some validity from the case that she is worthwhile. I like her baseball knowledge, but does she really know jackasses, like those in the modern country music industry?
I'm sorry, maybe I am a douche bag, but when hip hop's premier talent decides to call BS on a lesser performer in a lesser industry, I'll stand by him. If he would have done it on the red carpet after the show, it would just make VH1 celebrity feuds. He made a statement and perhaps maimed his credibility to do so. Personally, after the "You Lie" at the joint session of Congress stunt, I'm kind of disappointed that the President didn't tell Biden to clean Wilson's clock.
I guess I'm just all about consequence to stupid actions. Taylor Swift, brutal one so no one tries to do them again. If Taylor Swift would have kicked Kanye West in the nether regions for what he did, the only stupid people left unpunished would be the programmers at MTV.
The good thing about this tweet is that it at least let me come up with a clever one:
@Alyssa_Milano Obama is also a White Sox fan. Great President, but shitty judge of Chicago's talent.
