Let's be real for a moment. Larry King is terrible at his job. I know he is often lauded as being at the top of his profession, but I beg to differ. You know why he is always able to land interviews? Because he never asks anything hard hitting. If he isn't caving into a publicist's demands then he hasn't done any sort of research. You know how many times I have heard him call his guest by the wrong name? Half the time he has absolutely no idea who his guest is sitting right before him. Do you remember when Paris Hilton was sentenced to jail? She told him she never does drugs and she intended to spend the majority of her time giving back to charity and he let her get away with it. She seems like a nice gal, he probably thought. What's her name again? Parish Hilman? He had Angelina Jolie on the other night and it seemed like he asked her questions she probably gave to him in advance. What is like working with Johnny Depp? Elizabeth Taylor says you are beautiful, what do you have to say about that? Will you have more kids with Brad Pitt? Wow, Larry.
What we really need is a journalist willing to ask all the questions we really want to know. Like these:
Tom Cruise: How did you and Katie really meet? Will your children be allowed to leave the Church of Scientology once they move out? If so, will you ever speak to them again?
Nicole Kidman: Can you explain why you insist in interviews that you are plastic surgery free when your face is obviously immobile and wrinkle free? Why would your face look vastly different than the way it looked in Days of Thunder?
Angelina Jolie: You say in interviews that you are a hands on mother. What did Pax have for breakfast yesterday? How many pounds is Zahara? What percentile is Maddox in height? What is Shiloh's favorite book?
You see what I am saying?
