The Tabloid Reaction to Chelsea Clinton's Engagement

Star magazine's Web site was among many outlets to report on Chelsea Clinton's Thanksgiving engagement to longtime boyfriend Marc Mezvinsky. It's more evidence—on the tail of my piece this morning about the Salahis and their entitled ways—that the divisions among different sorts of fame are growing more and more murky. The three stories promoted alongside the Clinton engagement are about Tiger Woods, and Dancing with the Stars' Lacey Schwimmer and her new, totally unfamous beau.

Is Chelsea's Marc A Keeper???

By: Namezook | Tue, 12/01/2009 - 12:22

Marc Mezvinsky bit the big one by proposing to Chelsea Victoria Clinton -
so based on their names - is he a keeper??

Based on her name, Chelsea is fun loving, talkative and game for anything.
She has a wit, a good work ethic and can have a temper when things don't
go her way. Marc is great at memorization; which will come in handy when
wheeling & dealing on Wall Street. Chelsea has a great imagination and a
knack for telling stories. They both have the type of personality where their
minds are always going. Chelsea's middle name makes her flirtatious,
additionally fun and she gets along great with guys - she knows how to
"talk their talk" & many women are jealous of her because of this trait.
This couple works well together & has fun together.

Based on their last names, Chelsea needs to have money and a comfortable
lifestyle to be content. She's independent and wants to be admired and
respected for her contributions in the work place and at home. Marc's last
name makes him independent, bold, friendly and a party hound. He prefers
to know more about others' business and is slow to reveal information about
himself. His opinion is very important to him, he will not back down from his
beliefs, so Chelsea needs to understand this about him to avoid conflicts.
Otherwise, Marc is a nice, easy going guy who has a real long fuse before
he goes ballistic. (which is not very often). Neither of them has the innate
need to control their partner, so they'll be great at compromising and they'll
be equal partners in the decision making process.

So, Should Chelsea Clinton change her name to Chelsea Mezvinsky?
No - one bold, over the top partier who always needs to be right is enough
for one household:)
