Well, it's official ...
Not only is Rosie O'Donnell leaving "The View," she's decided to leave the show as of TODAY! Gee, what a surprise! Whether you love her or you hate her, it seems that no matter where Rosie goes, controversy seems to follow ... Of course, Donald Trump must be having a field day with this one!
Then we have Jessica Biel, who mentions in a magazine interview that she's not being offered the roles she'd like, such as "Girl with a Pearl Earring" (that went to Scarlett Johansson). As The Industry Coach®, I can certainly empathize with her plight. Many of my clients feel the exact same way that she does, and I would offer her the same advice I offer them: Instead of taking roles in movies like "Summer Catch" and "Stealth," tell your agent to start going after those small roles that will enable Hollywood to start viewing you in a different light.
The same holds true for Lindsay Lohan, who says she wants to win an Oscar. Although I haven't seen "Georgia" yet, I would offer you this one piece of advice: Yes, you may only be 20 (going on 21), and still need to have fun and enjoy your youth. However, until you start taking yourself seriously, the rest of Hollywood isn't going to, either. You can still be young and have fun, but if you really want to be taken seriously as an actress, then it's time for you to start making different choices.
And, one last word of advice to Paris Hilton regarding your jail sentence. I have no doubt that you're scared about going to jail. That's completely understandable. However, I would also bet that you are probably a lot stronger and tougher than you (or anyone else for that matter) give yourself credit for. Now it's time for you to show the world what you're really made of! You can do it ... I know you can!
