Anything to grab headlines is now fair game ranging from having a Fake Girlfriend to coming out on The Golden Globes.

With this attitude of trying to grab headlines there are now reports Steve Harvey had a emotional breakdown on his TV talk show.  Except he really did.  He had a faux breakdown where he was simply overcome with strong emotion.

Of course this would not make headlines.  Steve Harvey overcome with emotions is not nearly as provocative as Steve Harvey Has Breakdown.

I don't necessarily think its right to manipulate words so they bend the truth but at the same time without these manipulations the story would not be as interesting.

I have to admit I do occasionally watch entertainment TV and it is even apart of the evening news. It seems that people are more interested in a story if its bad news or juicy gossip, if not it isn't as interesting to the public and then the story doesn't sell. Unfortunately I think it is just apart of show business now, what sells is what is printed and the more controversial the better for the seller. I don't really feel that it is completely terrible, as a consumer of entertainment media it is up to you as a viewer to decipher some of the facts from the fiction and know that you can't believe everything you read. I read some of these stories and interpret them as gossip or entertainment but the use of words to bend a story in the direction they want doesn't always effect my personal opinion of the situation and even if it does it doesn't really matter to me.

I don't find it amusing however when celebrities themselves plant false information, videos and photos about themselves in a desperate need to gain attention. Ericachristina2013-01-23 16:38:08

Agreed....anything for headlines these days.  Half the time I don't even read stuff anymore because I am so suspicious of what it is.  Even worse, it may be spam.
