Playing The Part

Don't we hunger after, utterly adore
any opportunity to inspect hints of dirty
linen as long as it is not our own. And
what could be more eagerly perused
with the indignation of sanctimony
than the lascivious brutishness of the
crass movie mogul celebrity in close
proximity wielding the power of position
over emerging stars of the screen and
the voting booth? We crave every last
delicious morsel to feed our outrage,
no salacious detail too obscure to reveal.
A frenzy of bottom-feeding has been
unleashed in the unabashedly conceited
bowl of Hollywood celebrity as all the
catfish vie with one another to capture
the attention of a world of admiration
theirs to be had for the taking through
revelations and denials, sympathies and
heartfelt unburdening of the soul as
the cream of the elite bare their breasts
in personal agonies of indecision and
commitment. In a world where it has
always been difficult to discern where
politics ends and entertainment enters, the
actors in this drama declare their innocence
of knowledge much less intent to deceive.
The moral transgressor following a long
tradition of the trade, and the accusers
flawlessly portraying the seamy world
slumbering deep within their profession
echoing the habits of society's world of
the demi-monde suddenly outraged that
they be revealed, an integral component.
