I can't believe they actually have 3 THS's about stupid Britney!! There are so many other people out there who are alot more fascinating than this overused sh*t stain!! Basically all the same "blah-blah" about Britney being "a superstar at an early age", "she got lost and misguided", "she is looking great again and she will make a huge comeback"...yeah, yeah, yeah, WHATEVER!!! I for one could care less about some teen pop star from 1999!!
2 hours on J-Lo? Really? I can't wait till they do one on Brangelina. It will probably be a 6-part mini-series. Ugh.
The other night, E! had a THS on the upcoming movie ''Tropic Thunder''. No, not about the making of the movie. It was about the CHARACTERS in the movie!
They've run out of ideas, so they profile fictional characters from recent movies. Shame.
Tell me when THS Investigates the Joker!
The Jenna Jameson story was stupid as hell! First of all everytime she recalls some memeory she does it in a way that makes it seem so important and grand, sorry but her talking about sprouting boobs and losing her virginity really didnt seem that great an experience. None of us have ever been through that before! Ugh and the time she talked about how she sucked balls when she first started stripping and all the guys still loved her, ridiculous, get over yourself, they probably were in awe because they could see her gaping hole. Ohhhh poor me, my heart was breaking cause my dad left when I was 18!!! Booo hooo! Seriously people have gone through so much worse what makes her think she is so important? Cause she knows how to have sex with people on video? Wow, great accomplishment! Seriously she acts as if she is as big as marilyn monroe, NEVER GONNA HAPPEN!
A unique instance where a show simply runs out of subjects. There were a lot of VERY interesting shows when this first came on (c'mon....you all watched every show like me, didn't you?). But now it's ridiculous. I guess it was either the crap they've been putting on or "Linda Lavin....the "E" True Hollywood Story". They should do what VH1 did with Behind the Music and just dump it. It had a great run, but nobody cares anymore.
The show jumped the shark when they made hollywood stories of obscure people.

The Kardashians
The Hilton Sisters
Posh & Becks(That's what they called it)
etc.
Capitalizing on murder cases such as Laci Peterson. Laci was NOT a celebrity and her story was NOT a Hollywood story. She was from Modesto, CA and hers was a tragic TRUE story.
Next up: E! True Hollywood Story: "E! True Hollywood Story"
This show needs to have the plug pulled. They are profiling really obscure people. It's bad enough that reality TV has saturated the market, but do we need to have every person who was on every reality show profiled? This is probably not too far off:
"Coming up next on E! True Hollywood Story; The first contestant to leave American Idol in the 2008 season."

Enough already!
This show was pretty good in the 90's. I remember that I would watch it every now and then because they would talk about wierd stuff (Poltergeist) or document cult actors (The Divine one comes to mind). However it jumped when it just showcased tennyboppers and crap...
Agreed that E! True Hollywood Story JTS when they changed their format from:

1) Stars humble beginnings.
2) Stars meteoric rise to fame.
3) Stars fall from grace.
4) Stars tragic end OR triumphant redemption.

To:

1) Some half-assed quickly produced biography of some flavor-of-the-month celebrity.

OR

2) The current trouble of some Hollywood personality in her/his mid-twenties, in which they seem to need to add a new ending to every ten days.

I really enjoyed the THS of The Little Rascals, Rick James, Married With Children, and even Leif Garrett and Milli Vanilli because once their stories were told, there was nothing left to tell.

Do we really need stories like Britney, Paris, Rock Star wives etc., that seem to change every five minutes?
2)
this show seems to have jumped when it changed theme songs. I hate that red one. I like the black one with the drums... anyway, it jumped when it went more to kissing celeb butt and profiling stuff like diet fads. I don't like that. I like the old version of this, it was WAY more interesting. I still watch if its something interesting. But I used to love this show. Now it stinks...
Actually u are all wrong. It JTS when the stories stopped being salcious stories about the downfall of tragic starlets (ie dana plato) and it became a promotional vehicle for stars (ie rachael ray, barf) or any one promoting a new movie (ie reese witherspoon, Americas golden girl). There is no dirt anymore; its worse than intimate portrait. I did like the sitcom profiles, however, esp Family ties and Golden Girls.
E true hollywood story has that unique campiness to it that makes it interesting to watch. I was watching one the other day about Spring Break gone wrong or something, and I even found myself wondering why in the hell am I watching this.. It's one of those shows you dont want to watch but you do anyway..
Plain and simple: Stories about non-celebrities + lack of new episodes = sharkbite.
