There are an abundance of television programs, journals and blogs about movie stars, celebrity rumors, information about stars, etc. So at this point I feel it's important to have an angle; to have something slightly different to say which keeps the subject interesting. Which explains my reason for writing a semi-fan essay about Russell Wetanson, author of "Popsquire" blog and subject matter expert in pop culture law.
1 Russell is trained in law. He has represented extremely high profile Hollywood celebrities like Madonna, for example. As a tv host he has interviewed some of the most famous stars you could ever imagine-Beyonce, Kate Hudson, and Matthew McConaughey, to name a few. All the education, direction and experience come together to make something new. You will find that his viewpoints on entertainment and celebrities will be quite different from the norm. There are many different legal issues in the entertainment industry, so his knowledge of entertainment law really adds something special. These things create a lot and certainly entertaining blog articles and interviews. Can you imagine having to have the mindset of not only a lawyer but also an entertainer? I can't. These two fields are so diametrically opposed, it's truly amazing to see how Russell synthesizes these two viewpoints into something workable and fun.
2 He focuses on the controversial, legal or potentially legal, hollywood news. I really don't care about who the celebrities are dating or who they are wearing at the Oscars. The thing that interests me is the darker and more controversial topic. Miss California VS Perez Hilton-INTERESTING. Paris Hilton's testimony in court-INTERESTING. Michael Jackson? Well, let's just say the fun NEVER ends with that one.
3 Lighten Up. magazines or blogs take a really serious approach to the legal goings on among celebrities. And that tends to affect people's views of the individuals about whom they're talking. It's not that serious, though. It is known as the entertainment industry because it is meant to entertain us. And Mister Wetanson remembers this. His tv interviews and articles are always light, comical and entertaining, even if dramatic. Yes it's news. But it's fun news. And it's unserious. And that's good. I could watch the local news for seriousness.
4 Overall level of awesome. How's this for a skill set: Law, fluent spanish, broadcast journalism-featured on NBC, Fox News, E, TV Guide network and HLN, MSN, NBC4, Current TV, Si TV and Yahoo Newsprint, print journalism, scuba diving, yoga, voiceover, commercial, blogging, pop culture trivia and white water rafting. How can you not love someone with that combination of skills? You can't. That's all there is to it.
