Normally, there is one member of the fairly-to-totally worthless celebrity club that will take it upon themselves to rise above (or lower beneath as the case may be) their fellow spotlight whores and become The Most Worthless for that week.
However, this week has been like the Heavyweight championship of stupid and awful events. 
First, The Juice. Poor OJ can't catch a break this week as the mighty wraith of Rupert Murdoch squashed his hopes of both a television special and book in one fatal swoop. What is the world coming to when a man can't make money by proposing a hypothetical scenario as to how he would have murdered his wife and housemate if he had indeed murdered them...which he didn't. In all fairness, I think OJ has just given up and assumes he's already going to a special level of Hell, but the ass clowns at Fox and the publishing company owned by Fox should be strung up by their toe nails in Times Square for attempting to foist this awfulness on the public.
And, I have to mention it even though this subject is about as safe as handling an old stick of dynamite, but...Michael Richards. Watching Kramer implode in a five minute tirade against a heckler at his most recent stand-up show was a special kind of gut wrenching. There's not much need to expound on how crass, ignorant and terrible his actions were, so I'll try to find what few, small slivers of silver lining there may be in this situation. One, the audience members, I thought, handled themselves well. Once the shock wore off, people just seemed to leave the show. No chucking beer bottles or charging the stage. They conducted themselves with much more class than Richards deserved or displayed. Second, Jerry Seinfeld has proven to be a rather stand-up individual during his intro for Richards' apology on Letterman last night. Three, at least Richards has not put the blame for his actions on a drinking problem or drug addiction. Unlike Gibson, Foley and a host of other high profile people who have fucked up egregiously lately, Kramer did not immediately check himself into Betty Ford and issue a press release detailing his lifelong struggle with Jaegermeister. I guess that's something...not a hell of alot. But something.
I guess I'll have to call this one a draw. To both contestants, may your cases of syphillis be plentiful and may you always be pissing into the wind.

When did the tv station finally take their head out of their ass and decide to not air the OJ special?? Cause it was such a great idea .... sarcasm people, sarcasm.
As for MR, i have yet to see his tirade though i heard it was absolutley inexcusible. Perhaps it's on youtube.
Are you and BDS twins by chance? Your writing is quite similar.
Miss Ash - I'm not sure what exact event caused Rupert Murdoch to unfurl one of his gargoyle claws and make the cancellation call, but I imagine it had something to do with Advertisers not wanting to buy airtime for the show.
As for my brother, we are not twins. We just happen to grow up liking a lot of the same books and comedians. I guess that influenced our writing in very similar ways.
Yeah call Nicole Smith to explain everything. Maybe she knows what happened. What do you think? Multiplicity rules Hollywood who we are to know which ones the original?
writing styles very similar. By chance were you guys featured in those Time Magazine books exploring unexplained sibling phenomena? For example, when one of you looks at a pretty girl is it the other who gets the erection?
I get a visceral reaction every time I look at OJ.
This dude is plain scary..
Only a sociopath would think it was "okay" to write this killer tell all book.
I saw the video of Kramer's rant.
Sheesh! Never looked like the type to have such a foul mouth!
I agree with you though..at least we're (currently) spared his struggle with alcohol, drugs, women, children, blah blah blah..
I love that we are reminded (on such a regular basis these days) that just because you are in the spot light you aren't necessarily a good person. Even assholes have talent.
Melissa - nowhere was I reminded of this more than in the recent US elections. I cant believe some of the good ol' boys dont know enough to shut their mouths when it comes to their racist and sexist attitudes. Well, actually I guess its better for everybody to have them expose themselves as the degenerates they are. But I just cant believe these guys run for public office.
I also think Fox is getting off way too easy with the OJ thing. I'm hoping the other networks make a stink about it
I think we need a tv show "The Biggest Loser" that does not involve weight loss. I pick O.J. for this episode.
Happy Thanksgiving 2 Dollar Productions! :)
I have nothing to say about these two ... just ugh.
