Publicity Stunt? Yes! Truth? No!

I love Pop Culture. I mean I am obsessed with it. When people start talking about things, you really have to consider the source. Many times, I’ll ask someone “Where did you read that?” It’s all about the source.

So the other day, co-worker A said at lunch “You know Ashlee Simpson is pregnant!” and co-worker B said “I don’t think so. I read she is engaged, but maybe you’re confusing the story?” Co-worker A said “Nope. It was in US Weekly.” Oh ok well if that’s your source, I’m a size 2. I let the whole thing go because co-worker A is as smart as a sack of hammers. She, seriously, wants to raise live chickens in her house in Mountain Brook. She even called the City of Birmingham Business License office about it. When I heard that, I laughed so hard that I had tears. Anyway, being the obsessed person of pop culture that I am, I looked into this story and found this from my favorite website ever and I couldn’t agree more!!!

I am Not Obsessed

I am very much into the whole publicity stunt thing. I don’t have anything to prove it, just theories in my mind. Think about how many people get together or break up around the time of album or movie releases. The best PR is when two movie stars get together. Like Ashton Kutcher (Scott Cooter??) and Brittany Murphy did when Just Married came out. Amazingly, they broke up shortly after the movie was released. Jessica & Nick were all about PR baby! (Side note: I like to talk about celebrities like we are friends & they know me) Think about it. They got “married” and had a TV show. The SAME time his album was released and she was working on the soon to be released Dukes of Hazzard, they started having problems & then got divorced. I mean, I do not buy it.

So next time you read about somebody famous breaking up or getting together, be on the lookout for a movie, album or TV show in the works. Otherwise, you may be telling stories to an obsessed Pop Culture fan that knows your wrong.
