Bieber is Booed, what a delight

And with these words the presenter said

"The first ever milestone award for ..(being the world's biggest twat)...goes to Justine Bieber." Justine (Arsehole) Beiber, known by his friends as JAB then went on stage to receive his milestone award, which is a misnomer as the real name is tombstone award. The crowd did not welcome him with ecstatic delight. To the JAB's horror and confusion the booed. What a wonderful sight it was to view. Certainly on American TV broadcast nationally, to see this upstart little snobby nosed shite get recognised by his own fan base as being a complete twat. I could of told all those fans a few years ago they were nuts. It seems however, even nuts can get to see the light. JAB has acted like an idiot, he has treated his fans and the public to the petulant, arrogant side.  The look on JAB's face was a picture which could be hung in the gallery of the stunned.  It was almost a realisation not everybody actually loves or likes JAB. His response sounded like he was trying to win back the audience, they were not doing as he had expected them to do. He is so full of himself he thought it would be a matter of taking the microphone and talking about his number one fan (himself) and his inspirations. The time he stood there aghast; open mouthed like a fish desperately hoping a flake of food will suddenly be sucked into the vacuum of it's mouth, went on and on. Half of the time which may have been allocated to his speech was spent listening to the boos. Oh dear JAB, was it an insult to your ego?  JAB thank those people in his life who had helped him and in a desperate plead to get cheers the thanked Jesus Christ, however I never actually thought JC did much in the way of music production, well certainly not in the last 2000 years anyway.

There is a truth which often takes time to dawn on the general public, and certainly fans of any famous personality. It is to do with the impression they give. For example, an actor will play a part, the regurgitate words they have learnt or read of a cue card. The part they play may be a hero, someone cool, someone who you would give respect. In reality this is just a fictional character. What the audience doesn't know is what the actor is really like as a person. It takes time for this side of an individual to come out and spill into the public arena. Some are aware of this and are exceedingly careful. Others may be careful but then they are caught unawares. Their veil of fictional serenity is lifted. We then get to see what they are like as real people. At this point if they are not nice. If they are utterly contemptuous, then the public who made them feels they have been cheated. That actor then begins to lose their value, because although they can act, when you know what they are like as a person you just don't want to see them again. It is a brave studio who will employ them knowing of this publicity. In a manner the same goes with JAB. If his audience feels like this about him the likelihood is his songs will not be as popular as he once thought they were. At this point JAB is taken down by his own hubris.

With luck in a few months time the world could like have fewer songs sold by one once known artist, as they descend into musical oblivion. Perhaps at this point someone else will come along who has a little more substance.

The Idiot Award goes to Reese Witherspoon

As I began to watch a video of Reese Witherspoon being handcuffed and arrested for obstructing a police officer in his line of duty (work), I couldn't help think here was an example of another superstar who thinks they are above the law. As though being famous immediately excludes these persons from having do be respectful to law, order and justice. Of course to a certain extent this may well be true when considering the actor who got away with murdering his wife. The one to remain nameless, purely because I've forgotten his name, but enjoyed a high speed chase on TV prior to his arrest some years ago.  Justice is in reality something which is more likely to favour the rich than the poor. Yet this is not justice, this is paid for get-out-of-jail cards, via expensive lawyers. While Reese was being handcuffed she asked the policeman if he knew who she was. He obviously doesn't watch much TV or as it was night time didn't recognise her. Maybe Reese looks a lot different since her last blockbuster movie came out.  I mean looks do fade, and the vanity of a film star is more vigilant to these changes than any other normal human being.

In all fairness Reese didn't commit a great crime. She opened her mouth and questioned an authority figure.  However, what she did was to talk over the arresting officer, she was angry and was out to give him a bit of her mind. She clearly wasn't thinking at all and in this instance requires the idiot award for the month. She just would not shut up. It is therefore sad to see someone who famous and well known around the world only be given a $100 fine. In consideration of her behaviour the fine should of been a hundred times higher. It then would of been proportionate to her fame. As I researched the internet about this incident more damning details emerged. The video actually last for a couple of hours, it's recording sound as Reese and her partner Jim Toth are sat in the back seat. Jim was originally arrested for being a drunk driver.  He tells Reese she has made the whole incident national news by her behaviour, but she still doesn't understand her own belligerence, she just doesn't get it. In another part of the video Jim even tells the officer Reese is more drunk than he is. If she had kept her gob shut and let her partner be arrested she could of well driven the car back home. In doing so then she would of been drink driving. I've no doubt she would of done this. To an extent the arresting officer did both her and the American public a great favour in slipping on the hand cuffs.

In watching Reese explain her behaviour, in a much shorter interview on Good Morning America; it is noticeable how she shakes her head as if to say "no," in disagreement or negatively.  While saying one thing and shakes her head negatively both body and mouth are unsynchronised. Taken together, her body language, denotes someone who does not believe what they are saying. Unless what they are saying is "no" and then it would be a congruent gesture. Reese thought she would get away with it. At the end of the interview she spoke about having played a lawyer in her movies.  True this maybe, but she also says she is a not a lawyer. Another sign of discord in her body language arises as Reese is not shaking her head but rather nodding her head.  To have been synchronised she should of been shaking her head. Int this part of the interview she is more relaxed, in any event, consciously or unconsciously Reese believes she is a lawyer and does know her rights.  Reese has a high opinion of herself, she's positive she knows her rights and this is her hubris.  My personal interpretation of both episodes is Reese comes across as a pretty stupid woman.  I'd invite anyone to watch the Good Morning America interview a few times and see for themselves. It's there if you're vigilant enough to see it.

And now here's a tip for Jim, next time you go out with Reese and she's prone to a glass or two, take a cab, book into a hotel, or get a gag. All of which might prevent her from getting into trouble.
