A Person of Interest and Pop Culture

Friday morning Dan Abrams made two television appearances, first appearing on the Today Show, then on the Rachael Ray Show  to discuss gossip and pop culture with Rachael.

A Person of Interest

Please tell me who in their right mind would take young children camping after midnight, in a snow storm?  That is the story husband Josh Powell told police when questioned about the disappearance of his wife Susan.  Since then Josh, on the advice of his attorney has stopped talking to police.  Now, however, he is said to be a person of interest.  What is a person of interest, and why not just call him a suspect?  Dan Abrams explained why the new label.





Gossip Cop and Pop Culture


Later, Dan appeared on the Rachael Ray show to talk Gossip Cop and pop culture. When asked about who is most gossip about these days Dan said a lot of it had to do with the cast of Twilight, specifically Robert Pattinson. The crazy thing though is that a lot of the tabloid pieces are based on things that happened a couple years ago and are no longer true.


Rachael and Dan then had an “in depth” discussion on meggings and man dates. Dan’s reaction to the whole meggings idea was really nice to see. The Rachael Ray Show website does have a clip of Dan’s appearance, but it is only the last half dealing with pop culture, you can find it here along with the show's intro:



The first clip is the introduction to the show:


The second clip is Rachael and Dan discussing man dates and meggings:



Dan, in the blurb, sets the record straight on a piece of gossip about himself. Also,  in his comment on man dates Dan mentioned a NY Times article on the subject and I did find one from 2005.
