Bad celebrity, no Cristal!!

This morning on 99X the morning DJs were talking to Erik Estrada about being on The Surreal Life, or whatever that shit is called. (Not that I haven't wasted a fair portion of my life watching reality shows... but still, most of them are crap. We all know this. We occasionally watch them anyway because everyone needs a guilty pleasure. I'm babbling.)

Near the end of the interview one of the DJs asks him if he's hoping The Surreal Life will give his career a boost, and he starts in with "No. I didn't do this for my career. I did this for myself. To find out what I'm made of. What kind of man I am."

And I'm just sitting there thinking, You want to find out what you're made of, you join the Peace Corps. Or climb Mount Everest. You don't go on a crappy, third-rate reality show with a bunch of crappy third-rate celebrities.

...Celebrities give us snarky people so much material. Their lives are so delightfully stupid.

Hell, it's not like he needs a boost, anyway. He's still working. I bet it was that moe-rawn, Jimmy, that asked him. It was Jimmy, wad'nit?

Actually, i'm pretyty sure the "Morning X" crew is gone. *shrug* And anyway Estrada's on Sealab, and VH-1, every chance he gets. He's Fine.

No, Jimmy and Leslie are still there. Barnes is the one who left. I heard the interview this morning. I don't remember who asked the career question, but it does sound like a Jimmy question.

I guess that's what i get for not listening to the radio, except when i'm in other people's cars. Heheh.
