Hollywood Archetype


Dictionary.com defines "archetype" as (in Jungian psychology) a collectively inherited unconscious idea, pattern of thought, image, etc., universally present in individual psyches.

I mention this because this word popped into my head as I was reading the cover of the gossip mags at the checkout line today. Miley Cyrus was on the cover of Ok because she, a 15 year old, is dating a 20 year old underwear model...ya know, the Ashton Kutcher look-alike from "Nashville Star". She's supposed to be a "good girl", pure 'til marriage and all that jazz, but watch...the paparazzi will hound, she'll fall, lie about it, confess to it, then do an interview with Walters or Lauer...so many have been there, done that. So, I'm just sayin' that the journey one takes to "make it" in Hollywood is essentially the same for them all; so why the neverending magazine sales?

Sheesh!

Is it even legal for a 20 yr. old to date a 15 yr. old?

That's just wrong. Billy Ray need to step in and put a stop to this bidness.

It's an online copy (reads sort of like an Amzon Kindle) of Something Rotten. It's a mystery set in Denmark, TN that is a modern retelling of Hamlet.
