DLGs

Something happened to "sugar and spice and everything nice" being the definition of daddy's little girl(s). What happened hasn't been explained and doesn't seem good, but publicity always seems to follow, which seems to encourage things only getting worse.

Camille Cleese, younger of two daughters of Monty Python comic John, has begun to seek out her space in the maw of public fascination. For reasons perhaps known only to her publicist, rather than discuss her rehab after becoming a star, she launches her career as a "celebrity" by "telling all."

Fame's 15 minutes are also ticking down for Vanessa and Angela Simmons, presumed stars of MTV's January-launching "Daddy's Girls." V&A are the oldest int he brood of Rev Run, Joseph Simmons of the Run DMC rap trinity. Run, of course, phones in some celebrity on the "reality show" Run's House, the MTV half-hour from which his oldest daughters are spinning off.

And in the worst of the stretches of daddy's little girls, we once again face the onslaught of the the annual publicity blitz of web service purveyor Go Daddy. Throwing up some vapor news, the company has begun trying to call attention to its self-described envelope-pushing Super Bowl ads, likely another in the high-profile series of laughing at the audience for its prurience promotions. (Which doesn't mean the ads aren't working for the company.) Once more this year, expect DLGs to turn out to be the mountains or molehills divided by revealed cleavage of some sultry-lit package.

What happened to the nice? Sugar and spice, indeed.
