The fewer real celebrity news stories, the better. There's enough celebrity gossip based "entertainment" out there.

[SPOILER] TMZ

I'd prefer some generic stories, that way it won't seem too dated. If there are some topical stories, they are already way dated anyway

Like I said before, a series of made-up celebrity news stories is a lot more likely.

I wouldn't doubt that either. Maybe Al could take a "Law and Order" type approach and have "made up" news stories bare some resemblance to real ones only with more satirical exaggerations. He'll probably attribute silly fake stories to real (slightly more obscure) celebrities if he mentions any names at all.

Something like "Headline News" would be just fine to me.. some extremely topical stories that everyone will still remember. Like every story in Headline News, I still remember them vividly. Nancy Karigan and John Bobbit in particular. I think he should do something in the line of Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, and Casey Anthony and Tiger Woods... you know, stories that'll be remembered for years on end, just like the stories in Headline News.

All of the stories in Headlines News was new to me when I heard it, and I don't even know who Casey Anthony is. I barely know who Britney Spears and Paris Hilton is. That's how news works. It's meant to be forgotten later on to pave the way for more unique fare.

:huh: I wasn't attacking you. I was just saying that covering actual news again wouldn't be wise for Al because the song would easily fall out-of-date, probably by its release, no matter how enduring the headline would seem.

I guess, I could see it that way too, but from what Al says in a recent interview... he said that the lyrics will be so tongue in cheek, that we won't know if he's siding with the celebrities or the paparazzi .. so I think it'll be more along the lines of Don't Download This Song.. cause ya can't really tell if he's siding with the celebrities or the downloaders... I think they may be similar...

This is the best I can make out of the lyrics from the Amazon clip...

Spoiler:
when you'll find

a bunch of paparazzi
poppin' out of nowhere
cameras in your face

and then suddenly
you're on TMZ(x2)

following you when you're walking down the street
and askin' stupid questions while you're tryin' to eat

and you cover your face as you think to yourself...


I assume the next line will end with the word "sleazy"
