I'm making the declaration right here and now; I refuse to watch Baseball Wives! There, it's official. I've put it down in writing.
It's not that the show looks unbearable...although it does. It's just, the idea of yet another boob tube attention grabber in my celebrity writing life seems overbearing and I won't tackle another fodder enticement to dish on.

I could place blame on Wendy Williams and The View for turning this insanity into reality TV. Or, maybe, Inside Edition, Access Hollywood and Mario over at Extra, but naw, I'm owning up to how this madness is all my fault. To make a long story short, I'm an entertainment/celebrity news g-mogul who enjoy bringing a different perspective to viewers of these type of shows.
A Snooki fan? Not especially, but if there's something I think my readers haven't heard or read about and it's within reason for me to report? I'll dish on it. I can't help it. Do I enjoy watching these Reality Shows while taking notes? You betcha!
Some critics may argue how spreading gossip is malicious and they'd never be a participant in such behaviours. As a writer whose works have received rave reviews in the field of entertainment, I'd say to those folks: Get real about it! Celebrity gossip is big business and it's not going anywhere soon.
As a seasoned writer, I'm aware of limitations when it comes to reporting and delivering the brand of celebrity news & views I do. Words hurt. It's all in the deliverance and what a writer chooses not to take part in delivering that matters. My penchant for breaking reality news led to my current position as American correspondent with London's City Connect magazine (nothing malicious about that!)
I enjoy all aspects of my work, but, even I have limits! So, I'm saying NO to watching Baseball Wives...besides I've seen the cast of women and frankly, my dear, I'm with Clark Gable on this one... oops, nasty gossip, I know!
What do you think? Will you be tuning in, or perhaps not touching it with a ten foot pole?
