but that top ten list makes me dislike her all over again. Being in the
public spotlight is a choice. Acting is a choice. Appearing on talk shows
is a choice. And none of those things are as difficult as digging ditches
for a living. If any of us was concerned about appearing on a talk show
because we don't know what the show is like, there is a solution to that
problem: watch the f-ing show. If she gets nervous and awkward appearing in
front of people, then she needs another line of work. And I know for a fact
they do a preinterview to determine, for instance, that a guest might not
want to talk about a recent divorce -- granted, they don't ask for four
minutes of prepared stories like Leno's talent bookers do, but Ferguson
isn't Leno.

What I've liked in recent interviews I've heard with Bialik is she didn't
seem to have that Hollywood persona. She'd grown as a person, received an
education, become a parent, and was about the business of living -- acting
was simply something she seemed to be doing for fun. But her little list
(stylist chose the wrong clothes, I didn't have my makeup artist, etc) made
her come off as a borderline drama queen, though I think she thinks what
she wrote had the opposite effect.

Also, not sure what this has to do with Jewish parenting, unless this is
literally the only public forum Bialik contributes to, in which case she
needs someone to help her with her online brand. In fact, regardless, she
NEEDS someone to help her with her online brand.
