Teenager Brittany McMillan created the idea of Spirit Day and the simple motto, “Everyone rally together.” Celebrities have been rallying together and are trying to gather support for Spirit Day. “E News!” anchors, Ryan Seacrest and Giuliana Rancic, are sporting purple during today’s broadcast. Jill Zarin, a GLAAD advocate, will be wearing purple and believes that in order to prevent bullying, parents need to teach their children acceptance. Khloe Kardashian tweeted, “Who is going to wear purple tomorrow to rep the end of bullying? I am!!”
If you find yourself lacking purple in your wardrobe, there are other things you can do to help promote Spirit Day. Supporters can change their Twitter and Facebook profile pictures to incorporate the color purple or they can download the purple graphic GLAAD has provided on its website. Also, people are being asked to make “#Sprit Day” a trending topic on Twitter and to tweet at GLAAD. The website, “EOnline!” has already gone purple today in honor of Spirit Day.
On Monday, CBS premiered a new, daytime show called, “The Talk”. Compared to ABC’s “The View,” the show is a replacement for the soap opera, “As the World Turns.” The show’s hosts are Leah Remini, Sara Gilbert, Sharon Osbourne, Marissa Jaret Winokur, Holly Robinson Peete, and Julie Chen.
The talk show is definitely aimed toward the young, female demographic and each day, the hosts interview a different celebrity. This week’s guests include Christie Brinkley, Jennifer Lopez, Melissa Rycroft, Chandra Wilson, and Jamie Lee Curtis.
The showed generated a modest 2.2 million viewers, while “The View” had 3.8 million viewers. Creators are hoping that once the show becomes more popular, its audience will grow, and the show will become a ratings force.
