Final Gripe of the week

In our last gripe, I mentioned about our favorite sweetheart, Carrie Underwood, communicating with her fans on the 'net. Well, it did not surprise me that now more and more celebrities are putting up official web sites. This past week, Tom Cruise ("Legend") initiated his own official site as a response to fans wanting to get a way for Jack O' The Green himself to have his own "minutes of fame" on the Internet. I think that is cool. But, one thing we all have to remember. When it comes to celebrities' official web sites, even they are like real people...they need to be treated with respect and dignity. So, say for instance, one would try and contact Carrie or Tom via their web sites. What they say can affect their lives forever (there is such a thing as "fan stalking"), so choose your kind words nicely and there should be absolutely no problem at all. We'll all get along just fine. Who knows? Maybe they will contact you personally!!!

Final note: We all have heard by now that Alexander Courage passed away last week at 88. While Superman fans will remember him for his re-working of John Williams' music for "Superman IV", he will be best remembered for the famous "Star Trek" TV theme. It was fresh in our minds when it debuted in 1966, and it still does now. May he rest in peace.

Til next week...
