Versacci's daughter battles anorexia...do we care?

I was reading an article about how Donatella Versace's 20 year old daughter is battling anorexia. I think it's almost funny how these types of things continue to hit front pages of magazines and take up slots on television news. People in the entertainment business get so much attention from us all. Like Nicole Ricci's always in the news every time she gains or loses a pound.
If you or I had an eating disorder, would we hit the news? Of course not. What are the standards in the media of what is 'news' and what isn't? Where do we draw the line of the business of other people that we insist on sharing and gossiping about?

TV media turning to the web

MTV is owned by the same people as Comedy Central and these two stations are realizing that more and more now youth is turning to the internet to find quick entertainment. Who wants to wait for a TV show to come on at a certain time when they can watch the whole thing without commercials on the internet? ABC is now showing full episodes of all of their sitcoms on abc.com. You can go back up to four weeks and watch the episodes of over 20 shows. MTV's new approach to entertainment is to have the consumers be more involved. Posting sites and clips online, being able to do their own posts and have more of a say what is being put up on these sites. They are even offering the opportunity to make edits to the television shows. The name of the article is MTV Networks embraces Web chaos to regam viewers.
I think it's pretty much self-explanatory. Instead of running away from the wrath that is internet entertainment, why not join the band wagon and jump in on the fun? There really is no choice at this point but to offer your own services because before long your stuff is going to be on YouTube without your permission anyway, just as it happened with MTV. They demanded their shows be taken off of YouTube, but now they are going to be offering their own clips. In the entertainment business, your main goal is to appeal to your specified, or otherwise all, age groups and what else is there to do but put what you have to offer out on the web where people spend endless hours each and every day. Music clips and several other things are even offered on mobile phones, down loadable with just a click of a button, for only $2.49. Basically everyone is creating their own personality to appeal to everyone. This is what we do as writers too sometimes I think. You want your article to make an impact so you're gonna cater to your audience a little and give them what they want. Even if you want to go against the tide and be your own person, eventually you have to give a little because you want to get known and your writing is not going to go far if it isn't catering to a certain group of people.
