Touched By a Celebrity. Posted 08/09/2005 07:40 AM by cmonks in > fame: i want to live forever.
The famous somebody is Dixie Whatley, former host of Entertainment Tonight. I know. You're jealous. Whatever. Let's not dwell on that, but instead on how fricking cool it is that a former host of Entertainment Tonight has read my blog. And don't give me a "Well, she ain't no Mary Hart" line. You and I, and that woman who got seizures from hearing her voice, all know that nobody is Mary Hart. She is a rare gem in the large ocean of early evening entertainment show hosts. Still, Dixie Whatley is famous and she left a comment on my site. How cool is that? She commented on a post from way back in May about how I watched Pat O'Brien's emotional interview with Dr. Phil. I had mentioned her in the entry and it turns out she came upon it after Googling herself. (Celebrities Google themselves too!) Anyway, to save you the trouble of clicking and scrolling to find the comment, here it is in its entirety: "So every once in a while I Google myself (must be yearning for those deep ET days of shallow publicity) and goshgolly, there I was. So nice to be fondly remembered. As for Pat, I was a news reporter (yes, real news back then!) in LA along with Pat. The common knowledge was if you want to go somewhere you have no business being, just follow Pat. He'll be sure to get in. Yes, he was, shall we say, self assured, but I always liked him. Hope he actually learned his lesson. As for me (I'm SURE you've all been deeply concerned!) check out www.dixiestudio.com. Yes, there is life after television." I think that's what you'd call a really solid blog comment. Yes, it doesn't talk nearly enough about me and how great and awesome I am, but it's well-written, relevant, and funny. She also uses a term never before used in an Utter Wonder comment: "Goshgolly." Fantastic! Or, I mean, goshgolly that's fantastic! I always thought goshgolly was two words and not one, but whatever; I'm not one to argue with a celebrity. Regardless, it's a great blog comment. I'd like to see Billy Bush or Deborah Norville or some other entertainment show host leave as good as blog comment as that one. No really, I would. Please? Billy Bush strikes me as somebody who Googles himself all the time. (You really do, Billy.) Not that that's a bad thing. I Google myself all the time. Especially when I'm depressed and have eaten way too many éclairs. Usually this happens late at night, after watching C-Span II for seven hours. Naked. But don't get me wrong, Bushman, Googling yourself is a perfectly normal thing to do. So leave a comment on here for goshgolly sakes! Anyway, I'd like to thank Dixie Whatley publicly for touching my blog with her fame. Everyone should check out her site. It features much of her artwork. Kind of refreshing to see somebody step out of the limelight and into something new and less celebrity-oriented. I don't understand it, but it's refreshing nonetheless.
