I'm bummed out that I didn't get the chance to watch Katie Couric on CBS Evening News last night. According to the Washington Post, Couric roughly had about 13.6 viewers and was ranked number 1. This is definitely a huge turning point for the media especially for women. Yes, Couric is the first woman to have a solo evening news for a major U.S. network. She had many mix reviews. Los Angeles Times' Paul Brownfield said "nobody can turn a frown upside down the way Katie Couric can,” but Washington Post critic Tom Shales said "brisk, engaging job of getting the strange new show off the ground, but the show was too jammed with new features." I believe this show will be a great change for the media, especially since the nightly news is predominately men. Couric will now compete against Brian Williams NBC "Nightly News" and Charles Gibson at ABC's "World News." Luckly Couric's transition won't be as difficult because she of her audience from NBC "Today." I guess I'll just have to watch it tonight to see if it's any good. I hope society is ready for a nightly news women anchor and embraces this change.




In other news, according to CNN.com, who do celebrities love the most? Their family? Their friends? Their 2384093 million dollar homes? Nope, themselves! Drew Pinsky and S. Mark Young of the University of Southern California's study conducted a study of 200 celebrities and will soon appear in the Journal of Research in Personality. Apparently, celebrities are in loved with themselves more than the average person. This is also known as narcissism. For those who do not know the meaning of a narcissist, USC's Keck School of Medicine would define a narcissist as "someone who constantly craving attention, overconfident and lack any empathy." Sadly, the most narcissists of all are reality television stars. HAHAHA! WOW, seriously why would anyt reality celebrity think they're an A-listers. Its quite simple, all you have to do is start a fight with someone or eat some bugs and you’re in! All in all, I don't think it was really necessary to conduct a study to prove this. Let’s take a good look at Paris Hilton. Enough said.
