Last week was, as always, another dizzying frenzy of gossip and media-related news. We gave you our up-to-the-minute take, but we’re far more interested in your reactions. Please continue to send us your comments, and every Monday* we’ll recap the burning issues and a sampling of your “colorful” responses in “Hot Topics.”
Issue: JC Chasez: Is he gay or just really, really metrosexual?
You said: He’s definitely a little light in the loafers
You also said: Gay. (And there’s nothing wrong with that!) But an amazing singer…He just shouldn’t be allowed to write his own music because then shit like “All Day Long I dream About sex” happens. And that’s just…no. Just. No.
Issue: Kiran Chetry’s got gams.
You said: “I tuned in to CNN this week and thought I was watching Fox news. There was the similar couch setting and every 2 minutes, the camera kept zooming to Chetry’s exposed legs.”

Issue: Everyone agrees that what happened at Virginia Tech was a tragedy. Not everyone agrees on how the media has been covering it.
You said: “Showing all of that stuff on national television was exactly what American press is known for…it’s all about the ratings…Funny, they can’t release it to the public on Internet so that they can review them at their own leisure and discretion, but they can broadcast it out to millions of families.”
You also said: “It’s the business of news organizations to print, broadcast, and post the news. NBC did what they’re suppose to do, and those who complain probably watched every minute of the broadcast. Americans go into shock whenever violence like this happens in the USA, but similar violence goes on day after day in Iraq and most Americans couldn’t care less.”

Issue: Nancy Grace’s almost (but not quite!) refuses to address Keith Olbermann’s claims that she exaggerated the circumstances behind her fiance’s death.

Issue: Private school kids having sex orgies aboard the magic yellow school bus.
You said: “I went to Trinity School for 12 years. When we were young, we all took vans to school, not suburban, middle class yellow school buses…Even the Fieldston people don’t take yellow buses. They take luxury buses provided by Campus Coach.”
Issue: Halle Berry’s breakup with David Justice threw her into a suicidal depression.
You said: “Let’s just hope Halle never watches ‘Catwoman.’ Or ‘B.A.P.S.’ Or ‘Gothika.’ Or ‘Father Hood’…”

Issue: Chris Rock doesn’t care if our new president is white, black or gaysian, just so long as he’s not “retarded.”
You said: “Your level of education does not equate to the amount of intelligence you have. It just means you can learn well enough to past the test. No Child Left Behind shows us that.”

Issue: Katherine Heigl to (begrudgingly) stay on Grey’s Anatomy despite making less bank than her co-stars.
You said: “Well of course she gets paid less than Dr. Burke… She’s just an intern and he’s the super-duper surgeon… I like to think of them as real-life surgeons rather than homophobes and money-grubbers.”
Issue: Jeff Bercovici: cheapskate or simply broke?
You said: “Bercovici works at radar. it goes without saying he has no money. (maybe esquire will add him to their comp list, though.)”
Issue: Brangelina hopes to adopt more foreign children—this time, they’re ordering in Vietnamese!
You said: “I believe she applied as a single parent because most foreign adoption agencies will not consider an unmarried couple. Also, when she inevitably sleeps with her next co-star, it will be easier to get custody of the kids.”

Issue: Controversial Viagra ads could be corrupting America’s youth.

You said: “Let’s see…….isn’t she the one from the group that says people should be judged by their behavior? Seems like she wants to say all the crap she wants and then ignore the after effects. Hey, look at this…guess who’s picture is next to the word “hate” in the online dictionary…..”
Issue: A bunch of angry socialists pelt Paris Hilton with lit cigarettes.
You said: It’s about time!!!! She’s a diseased slut, racist, homophobic, talentless ho-dawg. And those are her most endearing traits.

Last week was, as always, another dizzying frenzy of gossip and media-related news. And this time, one incident in particular overshadowed all the rest: the untimely death of Anna Nicole Smith.
Some of you expressed your sympathy and deep regrets over Anna Nicole’s death, while others viewed it as an inevitable conclusion given the lifestyle that she chose. Regardless, due to the wide spectrum of reactions, we’ve decided to devote this week’s Hot Topic to your thoughts, reflections and impassioned musings on this issue.
Reactions to Anna Nicole Smith:
• “Let the Anna jokes roll in. her life was a joke anyways.”
• “Is having respect for the dead out of fashion? crass and vulgar sites (tmz, perez hilton, the superficial) attract crass and vulgar people.”
• “I wish people weren???t so mean. Although I did not really care for Anna Nicole or her antics, I had/have complete compassion and empathy for any fellow human that is that far from their spirit in life.”
• “Whether you liked Anna is irrelevant – a tragedy has occurred. Congratulations for demonstrating that there is still some dignity and respect for the RECENTLY deceased (it hasn’t even been 24 hours as I write this) in the media!”

• You said: “I didn’t mean to imply that you were being anti-celt, simply idiotic…”

Issue: The Grey Lady taps into the tabloid trend by lambasting Angelina Jolie.
You said: “If I were Angelina, from now onwards, no red carpet talk with E!, or interviews with NYT – it is official – they are now tabloids of the likes of US Weekly.”

Issue: Gisele Bunchen and Karl Lagerfeld argue that fashion does not beget anorexia; broken homes do.

The show and its anchor were hopelessly in bed with big business back then, and when the market crashed so did its ratings. But apparently old habits die hard — literally.”

If Brangewhatever their names can sell photos of their baby for a cause, what is wrong with asking interviewers, if they want an interview, to do this?”
Issue: Fergie and Josh Duhamel may be secretly engaged
You said: “Not only is Fergie wholly untalented, but her face has more nooks and crannies on it than one of those Thomas’ English muffins.”
