Entertainment Tonight

Entertainment Tonight has been going down hill for the last few years, but as of last night (Aug 17th 2006) they reached a new low.

In an effort to try to hype up their broadcast, they decided to post actual photos of JonBenet Ramsey's body in their teasers last night ...saying "Pictures from the case you have never seen before". The two photos were graphic and very disturbing. One was of the side of her face and head/neck and you could clearly see the cord that was used to strangle her around her neck, and bruising on her face. This was so hideously awful, I could not believe it. How has this got to do with ANYTHING remotely related to Hollywood Entertainment?? Nothing!! They have dropped their level of dignity and values to a new low....and it shows. This used to be THE premiere show to watch...and it's just garbage now.

I will watch Access Hollywood from now on.

I have to agree with PHeath60. The case of JonBenet Ramsey has nothing to do with entertainment. You need to stop sensationalizing this sad,sad event. Let the nightly news handle the news. Stick to entertainment.

Here's what PHeath60 had to say:

I have watched ET for the LAST time. I could NOt believe that an Entertainment show about Hollywood would show a picture of JonBenet Ramsey's body on TV last night. It was the most disgusting thing I have ever seen. They showed the side of her face/head and you could see the cord around her throat and they also showed her hand. There is NO reason to do that...it has nothing to do with Hollywood and it was in the poorest taste of TV I have ever seen. No parent/family member should have to worry about turning on the TV and seeing their child/grandchild's body plastered on the screen with no warning like that.

Incredibly superficial, out of touch, foolish, self-absorbed hollywood. This show makes my skin crawl. I guess it is still on tv because it is cheap to produce and fulfills alot of hollywood egos.

I'm just wondering how much of Anna Nicole's inheritance is going to Mark Steines. There is nothing objective about his reporting. Entertainment Tonight has been hurting for content lately, but I did not expect them to stoop to the levels they have of late. The interviews with Anna Nicole just prior to her passing were in poor taste, but the latest interview with Howard K. Stern is a new low. If I didn't know better I'd think Mark Steines was in the employ of Mr. Stern. As for the content on the show of late, more time is spent on discussing what is coming up next, what is coming up tomorrow, and what is coming up next week, than on the entertainment "news." I hate to see this happen to the show. I used to be a fan. Now I fast forward mostly.

What is wrong with NISCHELLE TURNER? She laughs at everything when things are not even funny. Her laugh seems to be phony. She appears to laugh no matter what. There is nothing wrong with laughing, but she laughs when whatever the topic isn't even funny. She comes across as not real. All the other correspondent's don't laugh at serious. She laughs at everything. It's sickening and seems fake. I don't like watching when she is on.
