I am a Pop Tart August 26, 2008

I love pop culture. Probably because part of me likes the escapist factor of it all, and part of me likes to know what is going on in the pop culture world. I know, I am well-educated (see my USC diploma), well-written (see my yet-to-be-published novel on teenage angst), and well-read (at least I still read the newspaper every now and again…). But i just like the trashiness aspect of it all.

Anyway, here is a website for all you fellow Pop Tarts…

 Here’s a fun recap about a staged version of The Hills starring Janeane Garofalo…gotta love Hollywood!

And…have you noticed the buses plastered with Gossip Girl naked bodies? And how the critics’ negative words have been turned around by the marketing dept? Another in the “brilliant” ad campaigns (see I Hate Sarah Marshall)…the creator, however, is non-too-thrilled with this campaign…but this is why he is the creator and not the marketing dept. I think it is sleazy and provacative, but it still gets my attention all the same. That’s why I’m a pop tart.

Here’s this interview, courtsey of www.tvtattle.com another Pop Tart staple:
