Letting Balloon Boy Falcon Heene Talk Brings Quick Celebrity Status to Halt

Richard Heene and the Heene Family have become celebrities overnight with the whole Balloon Boy incident yesterday. Now the Heene family is taking the heat from the general public after the remarks from their son Falcon Heene. As you might remember there was the huge scare that the child, Falcon, was stuck in the weather balloon that was floating across the plains of Colorado. Once it landed the rescue workers rushed to the contraption to find it was empty and the child was later found in the garage.

Sounds like a really silly kid who got into a situation, Right? Well it has turned this entire story with some celebrity power when Falcon said on CNN: "you said we did this for a show."

Now the Heene Family is not a stranger to the lights of Hollywood. The family regularly chases storms in the Northern California area and sends the tapes to CNN and the local news stations also have done stories with the family. Add to the list that the family was on Wife Swap and Richard Heene was pitching a show to TLC several month ago (it was turned down) there is no surprise the kids know what it means to be in front of a camera.

Which brings us back to the words of the kid. He said it was staged for a show and if this was the case then the family should be charged for everyone who contributed in the rescue mission to find Falcon (taxpayers cash isn't as fluid as it used to be) and these fake celebrities need to apologize.

Being a celeb is a real pain. Public approval can be on and off in a matter of seconds.
