Hmmmm....all very interesting.

I have seen Story Editor and other "story" credits on shows such as THE REAL WORLD, and assumed those people watched the tapes and put together a beginning, middle, and end for a storyline of one or more episodes....didn't realize that would come under "writing" as well.

If they have to watch all those hours of those "Models"....they aren't paid ENOUGH, no matter what they get.

I would add Paris Hilton to the list - but she actually seems to have some intelligence and her compassion for the people whose lives she invades on the few episodes of THE REAL LIFE that I have seen, is certainly more genuine than those of her "compatriot."

Sometimes media interest is confused with public interest....and usually the media stays a bit too long at the fair....or as Joe Gillis said about Norma: "She's waving to a parade that has passed her by." And echoed by C B DeMille: "Thirty million fans have given her the brush."

Hey, I love America's Next Top Model. And it has its 2 hour premiere tonight.

(although i will agree, why do they need 12 writers???).

Here are my thoughts on last night's DANCING WITH THE STARS.

.
.
.

First off I agree that everyone is really doing better and the level is quite good.

Random comments:

1. My favorite performance was joey lawrence. Although i think mario lopez is probably the best dancer.

2. I know jerry springer won't be going home. But i thought the judges were a bit too easy on him. I did feel for his partner. And I love how hard he is trying. And he was decent (and put a lot of effort into it). But he was clearly inferior to everyone else and i thought the judges gave him marks that were too high.

3. I think willa seems so sweet.

4. I really do not know who will go home, since everyone did quite well. But i think it will be based on popularity and not on who did the worst job.

Well, I have to agree with you on that. I mean you get 10 votes per person and since you can vote online, then delete your cookies and vote again, it's clearly a popularity contest. I hope Jerry Springer sticks around for awhile...he's great comic relief.

JRand - I meant no connection to Telly's ghost story and Jennifer Aniston. Just thought I'd throw it in. I think Jen is Greek, too.

Celebs I've had enough of ...
Tom Cruise
Jessica Simpson
and especially Michael Jackson!

Question for BK
I believe you wrote that every New Year's Eve, instead of going out partying, you stay at home and assess where you are in life and what you will be doing in the future. How are your goals for 2006 shaping up?

MBarnum · « **Reply #70 on:** September 20, 2006, 11:29:29 AM »

Yes,
Lindsey Lohan can go on my list...I don't even know who she is, but I sure see her name A LOT!

Creatively, my goals have surpassed what I wished for. Other wishes still have a ways to go.

RE: what i wrote about America's Next Top Model. When I wrote it i hadn't read what others wrote about them being editors (not writers). I didn't realize the editors were called writers on those shows. But obviously being a reality show watcher i do know there are editors!

Ron Pulliam,

Yes!!! Rachel Ray!! How irritating is this woman? We were watching her last night and I swear the woman looks like she is on drugs. I have never seen such arm-swinging, pointless, excessive gesticulate. She does things with her hands that have no correlation to what she is saying at all. And I hate that little giggle of hers that she often punctuates sentences with.

Re: Dancing with the stars and what i wrote about it being a popularity contest (instead of the person being voted off being the worst dancer).

OMG we are agreeing a lot lately.

I do like Jerry Springer on this okay. And i actually love his dance partner (so sweet). But i fear he will last a very long time. And unless he improves signifcantly i just don't agree with that.

Last week I suspect he got the most votes (he had to have gotten close to the top or he would have been in the bottom 3).

I'm told the book website will be up shortly. Of course, I thought it would be up yesterday - I'm hoping before I leave for LACC that the site will be up and running and that everyone here will be up and running to order their copies. The first fifty people who order will receive a little something special with or in their copies.

I got all excited by the cool animation---whipped out my credit card and:

But it doesn't tell you *how* to accept the new user agreement! Argh! I didn't want to send them all my info again because I get so many bogus things of this type that I wasn't really sure it was indeed Paypal.

For "ask BK day" ...

Dear BK,

Do you ever run into the situation with singers, where they don't actually realize what is the best part of their range? I thought of this because you mentioned setting keys for songs in "The Brain," and I used to encounter an odd thing when I was working with soloists each week.

It seemed especially true of sopranos and tenors; they always would try to pick a key that was just a little too high for them. I don't know if they felt that they had to prove how high they could sing, but they invariably would get weak in the very top range, and the color wasn't as rich or warm. I finally solved the problem, by just dropping the key a half or whole step on the actual performance day.

So, what is your system for getting across to singers where they are actually the strongest and best-sounding?

Woooo-hooooo. I just bought HOW TO WRITE A DIRTY BOOK.

Loved the sample....made me feel as if I was there, Charlie!

My PayPal summary page said Book $22 + $5 s/h for the total of $29. You might have your people check that page and make the $22 into $25.
