Watch Yourself (While Watching the Media)

Kirby & Hart are perplexed. Here's the situation: celebrity stories are everywhere. Baring a monastic existence, they are impossible to avoid and it's even harder to know which stories are true. While we don't always want to think about this stuff, we end up feeling about it anyways, so we've come up with strategies to shepherd our media-infused minds. Using the Blake Lively story as a (very brief) jumping off point, we explore the problem from psychological, spiritual, and pop culture media literacy angles, then we test this all by reflecting on the discursive, truth resistant dog pile that is the Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt divorce.
