This thread is so nasty I can’t stand it.

I have no issue with taking potshots at Brittney or Lindsay or those NYU twins whose name I can’t remember- they are entertainers, and where they go to college and what they wear and what their SAT’s were is carefully spun by their publicists to further their careers and make them as marketable as possible in the public eye.

This kid is not a celebrity, for god’s sake- she’s a HS kid who had the good luck to be born into a prominent, wealthy family, and the bad luck to be the subject of much unfair and speculative gossip about how distinguished or undistinguished her HS career was, how many times her cousin had to take the bar exam, how dissed her grandma felt by Boston’s elite… give me a break.

Her mother made a poor judgement call in discussing BC in a public forum, but that doesn’t make the kid a public figure. Wait until she releases a video on MTV or runs for Congress herself before deciding that she’s a worthy target of innuendo and schadenfreude.
