As I mentioned before, I don't consider entertainment news particularly critical, but when I think it makes a statement towards some other issue, I'm not shy about weighting in.
I recently learned that VH1 is casting "Rock of Love II". Yet another installment of Brett Michaels looking for love which leads me to believe that things didn't work out exactly with Jess, the pink and blond, raspy voice cutie that Brett ultimately chose over Heather. I couldn't help but to feel sorry for Heather, the stripper who was so committed to Brett that she had his name tattooed to the back of her neck.
I couldn't help but to be reminded to another seemingly committed suitor who was scorned, not once, but twice (three times if you count Mr. Tango), the "fabulous" Miss New York".
Realizing that VH1 is now airing a second installment "I Love New York" and has recently been running promos for Flavor of Love 3, I can't help but wonder if Flava Flav would have been happier with Tiffany (aka New York) than with "Hoops" or "Deelicious", two relationship which clearly didn't work, AND would Brett have been happier with Heather.
I have long thought that men and women tend to choose mates who are not good for them. Women will chose for security, or an obvious "bad boy" who they hope will reform as a result of their love and men will choose a woman whom they can "show off" to their friends or one who is easily dominated. Both fly in the face of good old fashion love and compatibility as the healthy foundation of a lasting relationship, but after all, I did inadvertently use the term "old fashion".
As I recently read that Charlie O'Connell and his bachelorette, the longest Bachelor pairing to date, had decided to go their separate ways, I begin to wonder if the mating/dating shows that are airing and re-airing are meant to find real love or just for our entertainment.
