A Couple of Public Service Announcements

1. Any person who says the following is lying:
"I just can't gain weight. I eat. But I just don't gain weight."

Normally you'll hear/read this from actresses who are so underweight you want to personally take them home with you and feed them a ham sandwich. Or, maybe that's just me. But, take it from a chick who's grown up around these people. They're lying. Well, let me rephrase. They don't know that they're lying. Here's the disconnect. They think they eat. I mean, a few vegetables a day counts as eating right. Having a meal and then spending a few hours in the gym counts as eating, right? Seriously. I'm not making this up. This goes on in this town. So, next time you hear/read them say that just know that they're not eating.

2. People on Reality TV are paid.

I know, this one has surprised quite a few people I know and a few of them are even in the business. Ok, again, lets look at this logically. If people are leaving homes, mortgages, wives, husbands, jobs and bills, don't you think they're being compensated? How else do they pay the rent back home while they're off on Paradise Island or being an Apprentice or becoming the Biggest Loser? From what I hear, it pays pretty well. But, for my own purposes, one of my rules in life is not to be on tv, so the money wouldn't be worth it. But, like I said, that's just me.
