Okay, kids, I have a question: When you were in high school, how many of you experimented with everything alive from alcohol to drugs to things of a sexual nature?
Well, Star Magazine published a few stories on the issue including a picture of a brunette named Ali Fedotowsky smoking a bong. A few people said she was a total crazy party girl. Well, duh! Who has not been a crazy party girl or party boy in high school? Some even continue into college. If you've ever joined or even been to a sorority or frat house you know that the party continues with you experimenting with everything (and in some cases everybody) as you go nuts before entering the real world.
So yes, Ali may have done all that and more, but people change and Ali changed into what she is today and we should respect her for that and call it old news.
Star goes on to state that she was a sex fiend and that she wanted it with her boyfriend all the time. When I was young, my girlfriend and I were like rabbits on prom night. That's only to be expected when you're young, in love and with two liter bottles of hormones coursing through you. If you were young and your hormones and sex drive did not go a mile a minute, I must say something is wrong with you or at the very least that you were a really good student.
I can tell you that myself and my friends both in high school and
college did everything and probably more then what Star is reporting in there Aug 19th issue. I'd even go so far as to say my tuition was slightly less than the bail money my parents kept on hand. Thanks, mom.
So how did Star find out about our fair haired Bachelorette's sordid past? Well, it turns out they came into possession of her secret diary as well as pictures of her channeling her inner Cheech or Chong. The supposed inside source was quoted as saying
"Her whole girl-next-door schtick was just a way to get into the spotlight." Smoking pot, using ecstasy and "kinky sex desires" were her collegiate transgressions. Someone, quick, call
Homeland Security! A reality TV star was high and horny...in college! I would say "stop the presses" but this type of stuff is why the print media is on life support with guys like me fighting
to pull the plug.
While I was wondering if it should change the image of a sweet girl that I had met, I wondered how many times did I get hammered in college to the point where I felt like a Mr. Potatohead thrown
into a tornado with the toilet serving as my only friend and makeshift confessional. Or how many times history repeated itself the following weekend. Being a guy, we don't keep diaries. I mean, that's what court records are for.
I would be in jail if I were caught being in the presence of drug paraphernalia. I had people I called friends that did everything from pot, cocaine and various exotic cooking spices and yet somehow my personality and character survived. It had no long lasting effect on me as a guy, nor should it on Ali as a woman.
Ali's camp did not return my email to ask for a comment about this
column or the subject of this column.
Star says the images will shatter her image as America's sweetheart. Oddly enough, they didn't seem to care which is how we got here. I don't believe the photos destroy any image that Ali has right now. Her borderline Girls Gone Wild past is in all seriousness pretty stupid as long as it does not happen now. Are you listening, Lindsay?
If she did all that stuff now, we will all have a problem with it. Heck, but if she was not Ali the Bachelorette, this wouldn't be headline material nor would we even care and that includes me.
People, its life. It's okay that some people have one and that things happen. Now, if Roberto Martinez and Ali do get married, why can't we just wish them luck instead of trying to destroy them?
In Touch had a story this week about Roberto having a wandering eye and that his love is all a sham to get fame and publicity. I know, people think that if you're with the one you love, you don't or will not look at another woman ever again. That's about as false as Star Magazine's journalistic integrity.
Guys will always look at a beautiful woman (or beautiful man. Hey, it's 2010) It could be that Roberto did all of this to become famous, but remember you need to do more then just be on a reality show to keep the fame past the obligatory 15 minutes.
The future will tell if I am wrong about the character of both of them or if I am actually talking a little bit of sense. Like who was on Road Rules Las Vegas or who won Bachelor two years ago? Nobody knows, because no one cares anymore. Welcome to minute 16.
