What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

On the other hand, she may just be tired from the effort of competing for the honour of Queen of the Scandal Sheets in Newsvine's 'Primary Sources' column's inaugural contest.
*stoops even lower*

"She's tired and drained much of the day because Tom is so wired, and they stay awake until after midnight. He has boundless energy, and she just can't compete."
Sources also claim that Tom disappears for days at a time, without telling his wife where he's going.
So what's the problem? Sleep while he's gone. And not alone. ::winkwink::

The article I linked to in comment 1 (and for which this seed is a blatant attempt to funnel people in...) didn't really start out that way, but it's amazing what you come up with when faced with a blank piece of paper (or that cursed blank Newsvine page that pops up when you hit "write article").

I am surprised she has lasted that long. She has almost been forced into the role of a Stepford Wife by cruise, living around that nutcase all the time with his bizarro actions that look rather manic to me, I can well imagine she does not sleep very well. Probably some major depression. She no longer acts, or does anythings other then "Mrs. Cruise, Scientology" What a horrible life !

Oh, for sure it is....but then again, no one said you couldn't have a little fun to go along with your 'getting smarter'.
Personally, I wrote the article on tabloid queens and then seeded these associated bits after writing articles about mental illness, doomsday, improving communications, and advanced military technology.
I thought it was time for some fluff. Consider this my 'beach reading'.
Hehehe.
Plus, if you go to the tabloid queens article linked to in my first comment, you might find that even the over-the-top humourous tone I adopted masks some legitimate commentary.
Or not.
Sometimes a semi-nude celebrity is just a semi-nude celebrity.

Well, My cousin told me that her hairdresser's neighbor has a friend who's daughter helped cater the reception and, honey, she said Katie was a wreck then! Poor girl, all trembling and frightened like that, what with all that scientific stuff going around, they wouldn't let her out of their sight. And I also heard that Tom kept disappearing with this big 'ol hunky security man 10 or 20 minutes at a time. They told her they was just checking the perimiter... Now, did you want the deep green or the chip resistant purple? Hmmm?

Take a memo, Synthesis:
Consider possibility of Tabloid Queen series. You could have a Scientology division -- Katie H, Lisa Marie Presley (ooh, and she was married to that icky Jackson creature, too), etc.
Be sure to list original articles with Entertainment Gateway group. (Note: Do NOT, DO NOT, clip to group. That is a no-no.)
Consider a story on the Bad Brit contingent. May have to broaden scope to all non-US-born examples.
Personally, I might like to try to tie in a celeb to some mythical character or story. I feel we latch onto certain celebs as a way to activate a certain goddess energy, you might say. Not that celeb-watching is a religion altho it does have some elements of that. But I feel that we are programmed with a set of archetypes in our cultural heritage, and consciously or unconsciously these celebs use it, and consciously or subconsciously we tune into that archetype. It's like we feel comfortable with a certain set of traits or behaviors because on some level we 'understand' it. Kind of.
Ex. - Arachne dares to think she can weave as well as a goddess. Gets knocked down to size and lives forever as an insect. Upstart starlet dares to steal spotlight from leading lady and is knocked down to size.
Ex. - Amoral Zeus goes around screwing everything he can. Wife Juno/Hera takes out her venom on the hapless mortal that Zeus sweet-talked into bed, instead of on her worthless hubby. Too many examples to cite. Tho modern wives just divorce the h*** out of him with the help of a sharp divorce attorney.

It's a thought, Minnie, and I'm gonna consider it. The only problem is that my ratio of writing serious and heavy stuff versus fun fluff issomething between five and ten to 1.
If Itake your suggestion (what are we up to, now, about five potential good topics?) I'm gonna have to write about 50 serious articles!
Oh well...I'd better go get busy.
BTW...I think there's a lot to your archetypes idea. And I'm not sure that it's very subconscious. Even if the celebs themselves are too airheaded to get it, every inch of their images is tweaked by hired guns for whom the exploitation of archetypal imagery was imbibed with their mother's milk.

She'd need at least that kind of firepower. I bet the prenup is as steel-clad as they come, and bolstered with lessons learned from his first time around the horn with Nicole.
She probably has a "no telling about nude wrestling" clause restraining her.
