Victim or Fame-whore?

I'm starting to lose hope in celebrities but Sandra and Elin carry the torch for me. Elin isn't attending the Masters. While the media says her presence would be a distraction for precious wittle Tiger, Dish feels she blew it off because golf is super-boring to watch.

Sandra gets my top vote for staying out of the limelight. Sure, she's been humiliated and the temptation to hibernate is irresistible. I love that she's denying the paps their photos. Right this second, a photo of Grieving Sandra has to be worth a good million dineros. According to The Post, Jesse left rehab 40 days early because she wouldn't take his call. He's supposedly furious and wants to confront her. I'm not sure if it began with my generation (X) or Y, but there's this belief that you can be pardoned for outrageous behavior. If you're really sorry, the big romantic scene should happen and all will be forgiven. SOME THINGS ARE UNPARDONNABLE. You screw up, you're gone--no therapy, no extra credit, no touchy feely confessions or press conferences.

Lindsay Lohan gets caught falling often. Photos keep popping up with the allegation that she's always trashed. Well, Dish would have a problem with stardom since falling is a daily occurrence. Stay strong, Lindsay! Be kind: We fair-skinned babes bruise easily. Steps can be uneven and happen suddenly!

Re: Erin Andrews's rise to fame. First, she's a victim of being filmed naked, then she's famous (but not the fame she asked for, of course)--so famous she gets onto Dancing with the Stars. On the show, she's adorable and talented. Rumors abound that she's dating her handsome dancing partner. Audiences are voting and she gets death threats. Will she have the strength to go on with the show tonight? How much do you want to bet she'll win the competition? While I'm all for victims reclaiming power, it smells like part of a master plan to me. Regardless, I hope she is safe. But: F*ck DWTS, Dish is watching the two-hour episode of 24.

(sorry, DM, for the swear)

(Go Sandra!!!)
