best infotainment blip of the month

I’ve only awarded one of these before (in my very first post: to Oprah vs. James Frey), so today is a red-letter day.

The best infotainment blip of the month (TM) award—for offering the best entertainment packaged with the least amount of useful information—goes to Star vs. Barbara.

Shocking, isn’t it, to be betrayed [as Barbara says she was] by someone who lies about everything from her homoerotic husband to her diamond-studded boots to her artfully stapled stomach? Meanwhile, a “source” says Jones executed her exit as she did so that “her fans would turn against the show.” We’re not sure who these fans are, exactly, but if you see any of them — probably stumbling around outside an OTB and muttering about messianic pigeons — let us know.

And, folks, it’s just beginning. Star will appeal to her base tomorrow on Larry King Live.
