Sympathy for the Devil

Who would like to be the Devil's advocate? He's gonna need one soon, because it looks like he has been messing with celebrities--and you know how many attorneys they have at their beck and call.

" Although Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt weren't in most of Wednesday night's "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!" after quitting the show Tuesday night, the twosome known as Speidi made their big return at the end of the episode, when the show went live. "We realized that we made a big mistake and that the devil got to us and said, 'Get out of the jungle,'" Heidi explained on the show Wednesday night," it says here, the blog site of EmptyV.

You've got to feel sorry for the Devil--who is getting a bad rap for allegedly picking on D level celebrities. Doesn't he have anything better to do that get involved with these shill games? How the mighty have fallen--going from wrecking the whole world's economy with sidekicks like Bernie Madoff (see the new made for cable TV movie "From Madoff to Laid Off ") to dangling spiders in front of Hedi Montag and Spencer Pratt (see the clip here if you're at home out of work, or have both legs and your brain in a cast, and have nothing better to do than watch replays of schlock.)

Not since the Devil made Flip Wilson's altered ego, the Reverend's wife Geraldine, buy that dress (video clip here) has the devil stooped so low (as to get involved with NBC's prime time line-up.)

Hedi has threatened to sue NBC, the perpetrator of this show ripped off (or is it "ripped from the headlines:" Law and Order: Celebrity Diversion"? ) from Britain's ITV Network. No doubt the threat to sue NBC came after she withdrew her allegations against the Devil. First of all, he can't really have deep pockets--he's normally depicted as not having any pockets--or for that matter clothing. Do you think NBC will assert the the Act of God defense in reverse--i.e., it was an act of the Devil with which NBC has nothing to do. Do you think NBC would be the lowest rated network if they were in league with the Devil?

Isn't the Devil kind of occupied at the moment, what with the problem of picking a successor to Kim Jong Il before he's Kim Jong Dead? Isn't he feverishly working to whisper math formulas into the ears of Iran's nuclear scientists ? Isn't he also fiendishly authoring some Health Care Reform bill along with the lobbyists for the Health insurance industry--or does he have a team of politicians busy doing that?

As they say--stay tuned.
