She and Katherine Heigl really need to be taught about humilty, being grateful for the opportunities you're given that hundreds of out-of-work actors would
kill for and just general 'learn-how-to-shut-your-fucking-piehole-every-now-and-again' lessons.

I tend to agree with her on the subject of Gossip Girl. I don't enjoy it because I feel that it's mean spirited. It's aimed at a teenage audience
but doesn't have any characters you can like (though I hope teens have the sense to see that and understand that it's not meant to be emulated!) and it
doesn't depict anything "real".
Ugly Betty doesn't depict reality either obviously but it's different because we can watch it and know that we're supposed to root for Betty. We (the audience) understand that regarless of physical appearance Betty is the most beautiful person at the magazine and we can hope that character and intelligence win out over superficiality in real life too (at least once in a while). Regardless, America didn't say anything that bad. Just that she doesn't like Gossip Girl because she feels it to be mean spirited. Fair enough; that's her opinion. |

LMAO. Well that explains her face on that one interview while Blake was babbling on about it.  That's exactly what I thought of when I saw the title.

I've watched maybe a grand total of 10 minutes of either show, but UB > GG and America Ferrera's turds > Blake Lively.

Some people look for the tiniest thing to bitch about.
She didn't say anything negative and if anyone thinks that GG and UB are trying to get across the same message, then obviusly they don't understand the premise of either show. |

I love GG, but I agree with America. The show thrives on pushing boundaries and glamorizing the scandalous lives of sexy and rich teenagers. I wouldn't
want my younger sister looking up to a Serena or a Blair.

Its funny because Gossip Girls its alll about teenagers kids drinking, having sex and affairs, using drugs and having a life style of adults, than when some
REAL LIFE teenager like Lynn Spears get pregnant EVERYBODY gets shocked and acts like "she is just a kid, she shouldnt be doing those things"

I'm still trying to figure out when American was being Heigl-ish and condescending? She seems really grateful for her opportunity, but has the right to
speak her mind. She never said "I hate the show! It's effing awful!111" Simma down!

Nobody here particularly cares for people who have a mind of
their own. I say good for her. She's got a point.
