Chris Rose fired from WVUE...

I used to enjoy his pieces pre-Katrina that consisted of him stalking celebrities and writing snarky comments on the "talents" of new-age bimbos like Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson. But his "serious" turn during the dark days post-Katrina quickly wore on me. Many identified with his writing then, but I found it whiny and melodramatic after the 3rd or 4th "where has my city gone, I'm crying myself to sleep every night" essay. And then his month-long rampage on Emeril, who made a couple of off-hand remarks privately at a party about the local politicians, caused Rose to completely lose me as a fan.
