Emilio Estevez Quit Googling His Own Name

by Darren

One thing I learned from blogging, is if you mention a person’s name, they come’a'running. I’ve seen this over and over again. It’s not a surprise, people use Google Alerts or something similar to scan for mentions of their names, so any post you make will be found by the curious. Well Emilio Estevez used to Google his name, but no more.

In his more masochistic moments, Estevez admits that he types his name into Google. “It’s a cruel world out there. I’ve been at the unpleasant end of that poisoned pen. When journalists think that actors don’t read what is written about them, they are mistaken. I would put my name in a Google site and see what came up and often it was very hurtful. Hollywood is guilty of turning out shit. I’ve turned it out myself, but what the journalists don’t do is to take a moment to think that maybe this actor has got a family and he has got to feed them.”

Sort of a sad viewpoint, really. We should understand that sometimes Emilio Estevez has to put out “shit” because he has to “Feed his family”. Poor guy.

But this just goes to show you that even celebrities read blogs, and they cry.
