https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09S2XqZ42YA KTLA‘s Courtney Friel was reporting live about the first day of of school for LAUSD students yesterday and she asked the cute little kids if they were excited to go to school. When she got to interviewing 4 year old Andrew Macias if he was going to miss mom during his first day of Pre-K, at first he laughed and then he cried. When he starts to tear up, you just want to give him a hug; but that is not what the reporter did. Instead, she included it in her package and apologized at the end of her liveshot. She said as a mom, she can understand what he is going through, but does she really. She made a sweet innocent little boy cry just before he is about to start school for the first time. How mean is that? She is a big old meanie.
But I am sure it will all work out for Andrew because Ellen DeGeneres probably had her people call his people to book him on the show next month. But still, poor Andrew.

At this point, the only people who aren’t sick of The Kardashians are The Kardashians. Fox 35’s John Brown is so fed up with them; that when the Entertainment Reporter was going to tell a story about them, he got up and walked out. He refused to come back to the couch until they were done with the segment.
Personally, I can’t blame him because I am sick of them too. Maybe if more news show, magazines and blogs (yes I am guilty of it too) took this stand, they would go away like Speidi did. So who’s ready to do it? No more Kardashians!

9News’ Karl Stefanovic Tweeted, “If clarkey doesn’t get a hundred I’m gear off on the show tomorrow. Woohoo. Positives for everyone. What.” Well he didn’t do it, so that meant he had to take it all off on Today and run across the set live on air. Being a man of his word, he did it. And no one called in complained. Why would they?
Too bad, Matt Lauer and Al Roker don’t have the balls to do that because I would like to see them lost that bet!
Cara Delevigne is doing press for her movie Paper Towns and that means talking to local stations. One of those interviews was for KMAX‘s Good Day Sacramento. The interview started off rocky when one of the anchors asked her if she read the book that the film is based on. She tried to have some fun with them and said that she hadn’t. It was obvious she was being sarcastic with them, but they didn’t get it. The chat didn’t get any better, so one of the other anchors called her out on her attitude. He said you seemed more lively when you were doing press for the film in England. She explained the premiere was the night before and it was early in the morning where she was. So the anchor told her to take a nap and drink a red bull.
As someone who worked in news and conducted several of these satellite interviews, I normally side with the news people. This time I side with the actress. She’s in a room talking to a camera, which is awkward enough; but then you throw in stupid questions and you might not be the warmest of people. I think Good Day Sacramento is at fault for the bad interview. Who do you think was at fault for that awkward situation?
via FTV Live KTVN was reporting on the fact that Amazon is now worth more than Walmart and anchor John Potter has his theory why. He says his “friend” who works in the factory told him it is because they sell a lot of sex toys and Walmart doesn’t sell any. It wasn’t only that he expressed his theory, it was that he kept saying it over and over again. So it has to make you wonder if really has a friend who works in the factory or that is where he gets his supply of adult toys? I am thinking it’s the latter because that is just how my mind works. What do you think?
