Over at What Would Hollywood Do? beej is sponsering an “Open mic” as it were. Every Thursday, one lucky person will be able to post a blog entry at this blog, and be given access to do so.
If you don’t already know, WWHD is a blog that takes much issue with famous people who have decided to take on public matters and political issues bearing no relation to their industry. Most of the time that famous persons do this, it highly acceptable to bring an issue to the public attention especially when it is a notable cause that needs such attention. However there are some cases when this is seen as an abuse of their celebrity. It is widely known that many Hollywood actors and famous people of all sorts have much disregard–and even sometimes deep hatred–for and of America. These people, for reasons unknown to many, have decided they have a huge need to become pseudo-lobbyists, taking stances on issues–mostly socio-political–and spewing forth their rhetoric to the masses in the hopes they’d buy it, much to the dismay (and usually amusement) of the editor of What Would Hollywood Do.
Maybe you have a gift for gossip-rag style writing flair or maybe you just have some great commentary on recent related news that you want to get off your chest. Please express your interest in this by sending an email to bbojojo At Yahoo! Dot com with the subject line of “WWHD Open Mic”, along with a short description of what you might post about.
The topic at hand does not matter, so long as it is a story involving any famous person ‘going political’ or the famous person’s involvement in some sort of issue whether it be a social one or a political one.
Same day, different year..
