So I’m reading about Perez Hilton’s new book (Red Carpet Suicide: A Survival Guide to Keeping Up With the Hiltons) and it dawns on me that Detroit needs a new Personality. And, yes, I do mean Personality with a capital P.
Let’s face it, Kwame’s in jail, Sharon McPhail is trying to act all Mayoral, and Monica Conyers has been suspiciously silent. Christine Beatty went off to the slammer yesterday and it’s not like she was super entertaining, but she did have her moments (Remember when she got pulled over? “Don’t you know who I AM?”) Sure we’ve got Allen Iverson now but he’s not really doing anything – except playing basketball. Kid Rock seems to have ditched us for The South, and Eminem just dropped a new track but he’s not fighting with anyone anymore.
Sure, it got embarrassing. When Kwame hit the bars in Washington D.C. with about 50 body guards we all acted mortified, but, really, he was not just a big idiot, he was OUR big idiot. He might have done a lot of stupid (and unlawful) things but he was darn entertaining the entire time. When footage of the shrieking Detroit City Council meetings hit CNN we all blushed a little, but we watched. There’s no one to watch here anymore.
We have got a lot of wealthy and powerful people in this area and not ONE of them has a tacky daughter who goes out partying without her underwear? Come on, people. Someone’s got to step up and help Detroit get its bad reputation back.
Wait a second! Someone has just stepped up the plate! Shanon Thomas of Centerline, a contestant on The Biggest Loser (NBC) was arrested today for throwing flour in her tenant’s face. It’s not much….but it’s a start.
