Why oh fucking why is the media obsessed with celebrities doing normal things like getting married or visiting paris?
They are people! not friggin gods! They fart, eat breakfast, look shit in the morning, watch TV. Why do we treat their every action like a cosmic event?
(this was sparked by watching a news item about Stella Mcartney’s wedding, which demonstrated some pretty obsessive talk about finding out weither it actually happened. Like I give a shit!)
Oh my god-someone had a cup of tea? Who was it? What kind of tea was it? Was it herbal? Caffeine or decaf? I must know!
I saw a whole page in a magazine that was taken up with one big blurry photograph of Matthew Perry walking out of a clothing store, while his girlfriend of that time stayed inside. They had a tiny bit of text in one corner of the page speculating why they were not together right next to each other at that very moment in time, insinuating that they were having a huge argument, though they had no evidence beyond this single blurry photograph showing what may have been a frown on Matthew’s face.
I have never picked up that particular brand of magazine since.
Bah! No they don’t!
Heretic!
I heard that Patrick Stewart doesn’t really like Earl Grey and on StarTrek they always had to actually use Orange Pekoe! I’m checking the fan-sites for comfirmation of the scandal.
Blame the general public. The editors of <i>The Star</i> and <i>The National Enquirer</i> don’t print their stories so they can sit around their offices and congratulate themselves.
We buy this shit by the ton.
Well, yesterday I was catching up on the news with the Enquirer and I read a story about Drew Carey actually buying a meal for a homeless woman AND her 2 dogs (At Wolfgang Pucks).
Now it wasn’t a cover story but it was a feature piece just inside the cover.
I know that it made me proud to know that there is no celebrity so tall as when he stoops to feed the dogs of the homeless (actually he had the burgers sent out to the dog so it was the wait staff who actually stooped, but it was kind of like Carey metaphorically stooped to feed the dogs, sort of, don’t you think?)
Was it US Weekly? I looked at a copy once when I was standing in a very slow grocery line. There were some photos of Jen and Bay-Lo, with analysis by a “body language expert” or some such. One photo had them smooching while he looked askance at the camera. Supposedly this meant that he “wasn’t there for her”. Or it could have meant that they’d agreed to give the photographers one kissing shot, and they captured him at the moment when he was looking to see if they had finished and were ready to move on. Or maybe it wasn’t staged, and he just didn’t dig being photographed at that moment. Or maybe it was a photo of one millisecond out of a lifetime, and who gives a fuck what it “means”!
Blame the fools that buy this shit.
Try sucking your own dick for a change.
What really gets me is all the people falling all over themselves to find out ______'s opinion on political issues, and actually take it as a valid, informed point.
I personally cannot get enough of Bat Boy.

Well, it ain’t gonna suck itself.
Someone reads that crap… Let them. Whatever turns their crank.
It really is crap, I don’t give a shit who is dating who… Who is carrying who’s baby, or who recently insulted who.
They’re almost as dysfunctional as the people who read the crap.
One of my Aunt’s previous boyfriends, a venture capitalist with his own company had a controlling interest in this publication and sat on the board. It’s one of the most profitable entities in North America.
Lobsang, you bastard. You tease me with a thread title about a celebrity drinking tea. Then you say nothing about it in your OP.
What’s up with that?
