I just returned from a vacation from Las Vegas. I experienced what I like to call first hand smoke. Their was so much cigarette smoke in the air from depressed down on their luck Vegas folk that I looked like I was a chimney sweeper from Mary Poppins after every day. The most amusing moment in Vegas was when my girlfriend and I walked past the fountains in front of the Bellagio and were subjected to a very angry Michael Jackson impersonator along with his fellow impersonator Captain Jack Sparrow. Why was fake Michael Jackson angry (and I use the term fake quite loosely given the original Michael Jackson's state )? Apparently he did his Michael Jackson dance performance and I didn't even notice he was there till I walked by. Having not received any of my money I could feel the cold dead eyes seething through the terrible makeup job and I feared I was going to get rhinestone glove slapped. Besides Captain Jack may have had one of those plastic swords and you don't mess with a grown man carrying a plastic sword.
Although the brilliant fountain show was going on I wondered to myself what made those two costumed gents one day decide that they would be street performers. Also although Captain Jack could get some gigs at kid parties I'm not sure about that Michael Jackson. My advice to Michael Jackson impersonator guy is to start impersonating Miley Cyrus if he wants to make the big bucks at parties. Maybe a Jonas brother at the very least if you can't pull the girl thing lest I remind you that you are already wearing a wig and make up. Well as you can see this blog is pretty random and pointless but I just got back from Vegas and it kinda sums up the nature of the town.

Paparazzi and Publicists
In today's blog i want to address the effect the media has on young female celebrities such as Britney Spears, Lindsey Lohan, Miley Cyrus etc. I want to preface this blog with an important note. The responsibility and actions taken by young female celebrities are mostly their own fault for any consequences that occur. That being said their are numerous factors that play into their bad decisions.
First of all the paparazzi are paid stalkers that get paid to dig up and try to catch these girls in the most compromising of positions. Just leave them alone when they are trying to use the restroom or are having a private family moment.
Secondly I swear that the day these girls turn 18 ,or 15 in Miley Cyrus's case, their publicists immediately get working on getting rid of that innocent image. Being responsible and grounded doesn't get media coverage or magazine covers and its boring. Instead publicists help convert their clients from wholesome to whoresome.These young ladies go from hello kitty to hello pussy, bobbing for apples to bobbing for aholes, spelling tests to pregnancy test,and from using ez bake ovens to being baked and easy. Its sad how much we know about these celebrities when it really shouldn't be any of our business. I would write more but I got to pick up an us weekly and go watch extra.

Guest post : Fallen Disposable Idols
John over at the great family, fitness, and finance blog ezgreatlife.com http://www.ezgreatlife.com// wanted to share his thoughts on the pathetic state of role models for young women. If you haven't checked out his blog for great financial advice and fun family events. Here are his thoughts below:
Is it just me or is anyone else bothered by the trash presented by Hollywood and others as Idols for our children. Take a look at who our young people have to look up to. What little girl wouldn't want to lead the life of Paris Hilton, Britney Spears or Lindsay Lohan? These media giants have carefully crafted the images of these teen idols. And then every teen in America wants to be just like them. Act like them, dress like them and grow up too fast, just like them. I am very concerned about the long term effects on our children.
I saw a little girl that must have been ten years old wearing a pair of hot pink soffe's with the word "Candy" across her backside. If you let your preteen daughter out of the house with slogans like that across the butt, you might as well call Heidi Fleiss and pimp her to the stars. I'm sure Rob or Charlie would just love to accompany her to the Playboy Mansion. And yet we sit and wonder why the teenage pregnancy rate is so high! H E L L O!
Have you visited a High School lately? It's a wonder any teenage boy is able to concentrate even a little on his academics. It's like the runway at a Victoria's Secret New Years Eve party. How can little Johnny pay attention sitting behind Susan with her thong riding high and her jeans riding low. Johny's not getting a history lesson, he's getting a lesson in female anatomy. Or maybe it is a history lesson, we'll call it the "Decline of Western Civilization". Hey, don't get me wrong, I would have loved to sit behind Susan in High School. What testosterone driven, girl crazy boy wouldn't? But as the parent of a teenage girl, I'm not so in tune with it.
I think much of this is driven by our media crazy society. Big companies like Disney take a cookie cutter approach to building up teen idols for mass consumption by our children. They nurse them along, carefully crafting their public image until they blossom into the teenage sex symbol they were meant to be! Take Miley Cyrus. Many, including me believe that the whole picture shoot malfunction episode of several weeks ago was a carefully planned transformation of Miley from cute little girl next door to the next teenage sex symbol. And like Billy Ray wasn't aware of what was going on, give me a break! He's right there calculating how many greenbacks this transformation will bring in.
One of the problems with shooting these young stars into the stratosphere, is they must eventually come down. And usually they land like a lead balloon. Think Britney Spears. No underwear wearing, climbing over car seats-back side bearing, Disney created boy toy eye candy. We have not seen a public mental breakdown like Britney's since Charles Manson's parole hearing rant "I could kill you with the edge of this book!" But fear not, she will soon be forgotten and replaced by the next big star. Tossed aside like a junkie's disposable needle. Where does that leave the millions of girls who looked up to her. Looking towards her pregnant little sister, I guess. At least she's not crazy, right?
