Oh... Here Comes a Rant.....

All right... There are just a few things that get me riled up... well more than a few things, but tonight I feel riled up because of Celebrity issues.

You know what? Scratch that. Celebrity FAN and nonFan issues.

Okay, I am the first to admit that I let my obsessions go a little crazy. I spend lots of time obsessing over my musical artists and my tv shows or movies... I do. However... this is what I DON'T do... and I WON'T do.... I won't bad talk a celebrity for something that their character does on a show... I won't trash talk a celebrity for assuming that they are a diva or heartless just because they leave a show.... I won't assume that I know anything about a celebrity or their personality unless I actually hear it from their mouths or a reliable source (i.e. NOT Fanpop, MySpace, Facebook, Fanforums, Twitter, or E!, or anything remotely like any of those things)

Now, I understand that there is a lot of press surrounding one of my favorite shows, One Tree Hill, right now... and there is also a lot of press surrounding the fact that the actors Hilarie Burton and Chad Michael Murray are not returning. Yeah, I get it... so move on!!! It is sad that we lose one of my favorite couples, but come on!!!!

Don't assume anything!!

Don't assume that it was over money. Don't assume that it was over a failed relationship or bitterness between cast members. Do not assume that the celebrity felt that it was beneath them. Don't assume that they didn't give a crap when they shot their last scene. Don't assume that the rest of the cast was glad to see them go. Just DON'T ASSUME!!!!!!

I don't claim to know Chad Micheal Murray or Hilarie Burton personally. I follow Hilarie's production company and what they are doing over there because I think that it is a great idea. It's cool that now that she is done with One Tree Hill, she can really work towards her goals as a producer. A true fan of anything supports what it does. I support the music of One Tree Hill, so I will continue to follow what the music supervisor, Lindsay Wolfington, does. I totally support Mark Schwahn, and will continue to follow the things that he does as well. I also fully support Hilarie Burton and Kelly Tenney with Southern Gothic Productions, so I will definitely keep myself up to date with the things that they are doing.

Be a FAN, Don't Hate!

If you don't like an actor or actress, do not go to their website and say mean things to them. If you disagree with them about something that they said... well disagree with them, and let them have their own opinion. If they ever show up on your door step, you can invite them in and share your opinions with them... until then... why not just let sleeping dogs lay...

It just frustrates me that there are so many people getting so riled up and being so hateful... so I wanted to get riled up to say DON'T HATE!!! You can't control it, so accept it. If it really bothers you that much, buy the network, or write your own TV Show. I say that you shouldn't complain about something if you aren't making an honest effort to change that very thing you want to complain about, which is why I am posting this... to get people to think about the things that they write on the internet chat boards and peoples blogs and comments on articles.

If you're complaining about television.... go into the tv industry.

If you're complaining about the books that are being published.... write your own novel.

You don't like the music you hear?... Record your own album.

You think all actors are divas?... Get into acting and DON'T be a diva.

I'm just sayin'
