The Blog

The following is a guest post by Molly Bush, the charming young lady who helped Ignighter out over the summer by catalyzing our community and adding a much needed female voice to the group. She’s currently looking for a job which means her own irreverent blog is now password protected. Molly can’t go too long without sharing her commentary so we decided to have her write a guest post for us. The following is a reaction to this article on the popular academic website, ParisHiltonWatch, which alleges that Paris Hilton and George Clooney have been group dating:

I love internet sleuthing. Which is absolutely normal and not creepy. I also love celebrities and I love stalking them. But again, not like a creepy Paula Abdul obsessed fan. More like an internet socialite. It’s endearing, I swear. When I came across an article about Paris Hilton possibly dating George Clooney (and by dating, I mean group dating) I knew exactly where to find them!!! The only website I know about for group dating… and now for celebrity sleuthing too? Seemed to good to be true.

I signed onto Ignighter.com to see if they had profiles set up.  Sadly for them they aren’t members yet. I really think they might want to consider it, though, for great group date ideas, or in case they want to group date with someone other than their managers… or if maybe George Clooney wants to date me instead.  If for some strange reason he doesn’t want to date a stalker he could try some of the less stalkerish friends in my group on for size.

I like group dating for many reasons, mostly that it seems like less terrible and less alcoholic behavior to get tipsy (read: dance on tables) on a group date rather than on a regular old skool, awkward date. Another reason I love group dating is that it makes me look less loserish (read: unemployed). Example: If a potential suitor asks me what I do for a living and I respond “nothing”, a friend is most likely going to jump in with something that’s true like “yeah, but she is really funny” or “yeah but she has really marketable web research skills, especially in the celebrity research socialite department” or “yeah, but she is really tan and pretty!” That always helps. But weird if I said it about myself all by myself on a not-so-group date.

But, celebrities seem to be able to drink as much as they like. And they don’t even have to worry about their bar tabs. If they went to Catacombs for example, they’d be able to afford many, many $2 vodka sodas. A celebrity would never have to worry about coming off as a loser (like I do) they are celebrities after all! But I am all in for celebrities group dating. It feels like I am finally where I belong, thanks to group dating; on the same dating-playing field as Paris Hilton. Maybe one day we’d even be group dating together!!! And because we were together, group dating, I’d be there (when we both drank too much) to make sure she was wearing underwear. I guess celebrities must need good friends and group dates to help them out as well.
