PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."
What is an internship? I'm perfectly qualified to answer that as I've worked in public relations and the media for over two decades. This is what Allisham will be doing for Magic (and no, I'm not kidding):
1.) Answering phones;
2.) Calling people to make sure they will attend a special function;
3.) Calling the non-important press/media to see if they will attend (the big media will be left in the capable hands of the REAL PR person);
4.) Addressing, making, sealing and mailing invitations to fundraisers;
5.) Calling caterers, hotels, etc... that someone else has already scheduled, but needs to be verified for a fundraiser;
6.) Writing press releases that will be reviewed by the REAL PR person who will then rewrite 99.9 percent of it and have Allisham retype it, copy and mail it to the media that no one really calls (i.e. small town newspapers, radio etc...)
7.) Bring coffee to the meetings she gets to sit in on but not speak in.
8.) Pick people up at the airport.
And that pretty much sums up what she will be doing. I will tell you that she will probably get hired by a celebrity charity because of the power of Magic Johnson's name. Then after 6 months when she flubs some PR event because the Big Name didn't show, or they didn't get Page One of the Main Big Newspaper, she will be out on her a** and hopefully someone with a REAL degree and REAL experienced will have a break at getting a nice job.
