FORMER STARS THAT CAN'T RETIRE

If Larry King isn't self parody already, Nellie Olsen (or whatever the actress is named) of "Little House on the Prarie" fame is on his show now explaining about how she was molested as a child. Have we not yet exhausted the celebrity molestation stories? As she began talking about how her confession is supposed to help millions of other victims, I began to wonder if the other celebrity confessions haven't been helping enough. Maybe one more washed up actress is going to make sick perverts think twice. Or maybe some poor kid watches Larry King Live and will now ask for help. What nonsense. These outpourings are nothing but attention-starved has-beens wanting the limelight one final time. It's particularly true of this actress who was on the talk show circuit a few years ago because her TV husband died of AIDS. I'm waiting for the confession of how her entire family stepped on landmines when she was growing up. Why can't she settle for directing sitcoms like Bill Bixby and Ivan Dixon?
