I agree, and I was speaking more to the comments that were calling her dumb or crazy.  Whereas, I don't think it is dumb or crazy to celebrate something that allows someone to be freed from the struggle of obesity. 

I understood both her motivation and logic.

MILEY CYRUS, LADY GAGA, AND JUSTIN BIEBER R BRILANT BCUZ DEY M4K L0TZ OF M0N13$.

See, it's not that they're brilliant, it's just that everybody else...isn't.  ;)
They aren't.  The people behind them are.  (and those producers etc are also making a bundle)

Look how much money she's made.  Then tell me she's not brilliant.

She's brilliant because she knows her target audience. Let's face it, we live in a world where well-developed literary taste is going extinct. Twilight is perfectly constructed to sell to an audience of people raised on trash and emotional porn instead of the classic works of brilliant minds.

Ditto.

This is just another instance where my choice of words would be different than "brilliant".  I would use the word "cunning".

Granted, "cunning" would certainly do the trick. I use brilliant, not because she's brilliant PERIOD, but because she somehow managed to pen and sell trash to an unsuspecting public and make a killing. She's "brilliant" at giving her targetted audience what they want.

Eh, can't fault her for losing approximately 70 pounds in half a year.
