i think you're giving us more credit than we deserve to characterize our griping as 'backlash.'

i can see how for you, as this guy's alleged brother (we have to take your word for it), it might be sad to read us being critical of a situation you know more about. to you, they're a great couple; real people in whom you have an emotional investment.

and it's true that gabe's knowledge of the couple was probably pretty limited. that's because this is an entertainment blog, and gabe isn't an investigative journalist with a staff of fact checkers and research assistants, compiling binders of background material. he's just a guy with a search engine and some strong opinions.

in this age of balloon boy scams, where it's easier than ever to get your 15 mins of fame with just a little bit of effort in the right place (for example, a very public gesture of romantic love?) i don't think it's unrealistic for the idea of a fame grab to cross our minds. sure, it's cynical, but it's not a baseless assumption. no, the proposal wasn't done via google or AOL, but tumblr is hardly a community bulletin board system. the gesture was VERY much a public one, forcing everyone to be a witness and participant in the proposal. which is fine! but then you can't begrudge people for having opinions on the thing they are participating in, without their consent. we aren't in a position to know what your alleged brother's motivations were, because we don't know him, but let's be honest with ourselves about the fact that this was NOT an intimate little proposal over dinner. if it had been, we wouldn't be having this discussion in the first place.

i am sure i'm not alone in wishing the couple a lifetime of happiness. no sarcasmo! love is the best, most important thing about being a human, and any time people find love with each other, it's something to be celebrated. so, we celebrate their love with you! (and we also gripe about the showboat-y way it was professed.)

when gabe is president of entertainment in LA i hope he declares a moratorium on fake tv/movie concerts because they are inevitably so forced and self-conscious. let's you and i remember that we will have him use this footage as one of his pieces of evidence to support that decision, 'kay? no more of this.

i really liked that movie and i thought he was a) white hot (doyoyoy) and also b) really impressive, acting-wise. very creepy sexy! i would not kick him out of my eyes, my bed, or my visual entertainment. (not so much with his music. that i will continue to kick out of my ears.) i'm glad you said this, dafs.
