Anyone else notice the back... (Below threshold)

Anyone else notice the background is the clay red color that is part of the failed "Project: RED" campaign? Vanity Fair is nothing more than a marketing/branding tool and this issue, like so many others, will boor the Dickens out of anyone who picks it up.

And what's with "Vampire Op... (Below threshold)

And what's with "Vampire Oprah" looking as if she's about to take a bite out of Clooney's neck????

Just did a post on this mys... (Below threshold)

Just did a post on this myself. I'm sick and tired of all the media hype. Read my blog for a longer write up.

The entire Paris Hilton epi... (Below threshold)

The entire Paris Hilton episode has underlined - for any quaint soul on the planet who still doubts it - that in the infotainment age, celebrity is the coin of the realm. The most obviously catastrophic misfortunes could befall you since God smote Job with the boils. But if you haven't a celebrity on your side, you haven't a hope of being heard. It's a lesson we know all too well at Peace X Peace. Oh, and factor in the varying degrees of celebrity while you're at it. And then there's the level of commitment by your cause's celebrity. You need someone who is not just high on the radar, and wealthy and connected. They better have time and energy on their side. Because the truly stubborn issues of our time are not about to change any time soon. It's not as if the beautiful people haven't mattered before. It's just that right now, if a celebrity takes a shine to your cause, it goes from zero to 60 at Mach 1. Pity the cause that is adopted by well-meaning but unconvincing or poorly informed celebrities. And pity the poor deserving cause even a bit unprepared for its good fortune. All you folks in the world's trouble spots (Burma and the 'Stans in the former Soviet Union, for example), all you who are still waiting for life to return to normal after Katrina, all you who served in Iraq but cannot seem to get your country to care about you, all you impresarios awaiting your celebrity tie-in ..... are you ready if Paris calls?
