While scouring the net for pictures of hot women in the entertainment industry (or women who can be shoehorned into the moniker on slow days), I've noticed a large swing in staged photo opportunities from Z-list celebrities. On my own personal grading curve (which is morally questionable from the start), I clarify Z-list stars as the children of prior icon's of years past (Hulk Hogan's daughter Brooke Hogan), spouses of lower key actors/entertainers (Ice-T's wife CoCo), or previous Playmates/porn stars (Playmate Karissa Shannon). These women are all pictured in the photo above, moving from left to right. While they all share the same trait by "getting to the point" in flaunting their bodies and posing suggestively...their is just something about it that just doesn't sit right with me.
Now granted, we post sexy pictures and videos of beautiful women in entertainment on a daily basis. These photos could range from a film premiere, a benefit gala, an awards show, professional photo shoots, magazine covers, movie scenes, snapped randomly out in public, etc. So when I see one of these fame whores desperately trying to grasp the public spotlight by a badly staged photo opportunity, I can't help but shake my head in disgust (after viewing their goods for a second or two). You could argue it's no different than Kim Kardashian showing up in a short skirt to promote Cancer flavored lollipops, but the difference is like it or not....Kim Kardashian has made it into the public conscious. She has her own brand of sorts (isn't that depressing) and a large portion of people eat anything to do with her up. She's like a McChicken on the Dollar Menu at McDonald's. Cheap, somewhat filling and sold all over the place for the change that rests in your cup holder (the sticky change at that).
I guess the thing to remember is, even Kim got her start pulling stunts like these (although she went for the gold with a sex-tape). So just look at these pleas for attention as the next possible "star" in the making. Reality TV....how you've altered our perception of stardom.
