Problems With Plastic Alert: Plastic surgery gone wrong!

Publication: National Examiner
Date: 26 Sept. 2011

The low rent Examiner goes with a story about plastic surgery snafus, most of them on women older than I am, some who were famous before I graduated high school. There are pictures of Loni Anderson, Linda Evans (pictured above), Priscilla Presley, Courtney Love and Tanya Tucker, all of them looking a bit too much like Mickey Rourke.

Courtney Love is the odd person out on this list. Everyone else was famous in the 1960s or 1970s, while Love's fame started in the 1990s. Many from the target demographic for the low rent Examiner won't even know who she is.

Love Bird Alert™:Priscilla Presley's forbidden love.

Leave it to the Globe to put a negative spin on the story of a single person finding love. Priscilla Presley is not married and well over 21, so if she has found someone special, I say let her be happy.

Unless the guy is married. She's old enough to know better than that.

They Fought The Law Alert™:Kids of celebrities are no damn good!

Publication: National Examiner
Date: 1 Mar. 2010

The Examiner wants you to know that celebrities make bad parents. Among the celebrities mentioned are Michael Douglas from Wall Street, Priscilla Presley of Naked Gun fame, Moonlighting star Cybill Shepard and star of Lethal Weapon Mel Gibson. I bring up these works from the late 1980s because that's the last time you could actually call all these people "celebrities".

Granted, Mel Gibson is just as famous now as he was back then, but young people might not be aware that he used to be an actor and not just a mouthy anti-Semitic drunk who calls cops "Sugar Tits".

So much information gets lost along the way, even with the Internets to help.
