Too much?

Do we really need to spend dozens of hours watching has-been stars talking on the phone, or meeting with their lawyers, agents, ex-lovers, fans, security guards, etc.? Twenty-Five years ago, when Farrah was a major star, this kind of show would have been amazing. But now that she is almost sixty years old and washed-up, it seems like she is just making one last desperate stab at regaining some of her lost stardom. A two hour movie could have covered Farrah's recent life for all of her greatest fans. But why would anyone want to follow around Farrah for several hours of Television time every week? It seems morbid and creepy. Although Farrah loves the attention, and hopefully she is getting paid a decent sum, what next? Are these immoral film crews going to invade the Hollywood Nursing Homes to create Reality Shows about demented former stars who do not have any family that can object? Are we going to see former stars drooling as the nurse changes their bedpans while the cameras are rolling? When will these vultures stop exploiting fallen stars?
