JD fortune

JD Fortune, the ex-lead singer of the new INXS has not only been dumped by his band, but is now living out of his car. JD told ET, “I was in an airport at Hong Kong and literally got a handshake. They said, ‘Thank you very much…I found myself really alone because I had travelled with these guys for 23 months….I don’t know where I am going, from sofa to sofa, from night to night. I am trying to get through my life.”

It sucks and I know he wants everyone to feel sorry for him, but it’s his own fault. Did he come forward with his story to let Celebrity Rehab know he’s available? Because all reality stars do is jump from reality show to reality show–seriously, when are reality stars like JD going to stop feeling sorry for themselves, and stop blaming their “fame and fortune” for their mishaps. People like him get on a show, ride the wave, and once their run ends, they get this “now what” attitude and don’t know what to do with themselves. I have some advice for them: get a day job or do what you did before you were on a reality show…welcome to the “real” real world people. And as for JD and his addiction, I hope he can overcome, but really? Go back to your day job and get some help.

I’ll get off my soap box now. :-)

    “It ain’t pretty
    After the show
    It ain’t pretty when the pretty leaves you
    With no place to go
    If you think you want it
    Here’s the place to get it
    But it ain’t pretty

    The party’s over and the road is long
    The party’s over and we’re moving on
    The party’s over and the road is long ”

    Oh….the irony.

    (thanks for the shout)

    Nads, I agree with you that most reality stars are just attention whores that work the reality circuit, but the fact that JD was a talented musician that wrote the best hit that INXS had in a decade always seemed to remove him from the simple “reality whore” title. Maybe a bit closer to the Marky Mark role in Rock Star–the guy who gets to join the group he had always idolized, and then finds out it’s not all it’s cracked up to be.

    That said, he can sleep on my sofa–or anywhere else in my house–anytime. Yum.
