Erin Andrews is the epitome of cool. For one, she’s drop dead gorgeous and through her quirky sense of humor and ability to laugh at herself, she barely recognizes it. Two, her job as a broadcaster for ESPN is one of the greatest in the world. And three, Erin is also a competitor on one of my favorite shows ever created, Dancing With the Stars. Basically, as someone who aspires to work in sports management and an enthusiast for celebrities ballroom dancing, Erin Andrews is my idol. However, in recent news, Erin has been receiving threatening emails. One email even states “somebody should shoot her in face.” What in the world could Erin Andrews have done to you? What heinous act did she commit to affect your life negatively? I will tell you what she did: NOTHING. As someone who has watched her on ESPN numerous times, there is no way she could have done something remotely wrong to anyone. The worst “act she’s ever committed” was when a videotape of her naked was released online (wait, she did not do that knowingly; SHE WAS A VICTIM). Though I have no idea who is sending these emails, I will say one thing: threatening Erin Andrews makes you a coward. Her insane drive to succeed and stay true to her family and herself makes her an incredible role model for females of all ages. The fact that she soldiers on from all of these unnecessary obstacles displays the integrity of women that exists. The people who are threatening her clearly have no lives.

I'm totally behind Erin on DWTS (and Maks is always fab and dreamy). Think about how your post could relate to the topic of stardom or fandom. I love your connection of Erin to yourself. What is her celebrity image (and interesting that she is one of very few women on a male-dominated network and in a male-dominated business). Also, how could her current situation be tied to issues of fandom and what ties people (in unhealthy ways or otherwise) to celebrities. Good start.
