Other than saying she’s a sweet girl, does anyone care about Taylor Swift’s virginity? I’m not a country music fan, but that seemed to be something that only Britney got tagged with.
Speaking as someone with a postgraduate degree in the subject, there is quality journalism out there and it’s not especially hard to find- but if it’s on TV and hasn’t come from someone like the BBC (or your country’s equivalent thereof), it’s probably closer to “Infotainment” (or at least aimed at trendy women) than what many of us might want to consider “News”. Is there much that can be done about it? IMHO no, there isn’t.
Click here and go down to "Chewed-On Theory No. 3: “Why can’t Jennifer Aniston find a man?” for Bill Simmons’ explanation for why Aniston will be a story until she either gets pregnant or goes menopausal.
Do you seriously think that Brad Pitt hasn’t averaged about three opportunities a day to do better than JA since he turned 13?
Considering the average male’s opinion of Angelina Jolie’s looks, I’d say the answer is no.
You and I don’t, but considering that Ms. Swift’s demographic skews heavily to pre-teen girls, it matters to conservative parents who view morality as an important determinant in who they will allow their kids to listen to. Same with Justin Bieber; his apparent lack of puberty appeals to parents for the same reason.
I’m sure Taylor is lovely and sweet but IMHO too old to care who’s sleeping with whom. I don’t know much about her music but what I’ve heard of her lyrics bugs me. I think they’re bad lyrics and she can do better.
Eh, I assume her lyrics will get better (however you want to define that) as she gets older and more experienced. A lot of her songs off her first couple albums were written when she was still very young - apparently she was 14 when she wrote “Our Song”.
I think she’s one of the best songwriters with a record contract. Sure, songs like “Fifteen”, about what it’s like to be starting high school and your first crush may be a little hard for us older people to identify with. Then again, if “The Best Day” doesn’t bring back feelings of a special day(s) you had as a kid with a parent, you probably never had such a day or you’re made of stone. Too bad either way.
I’d take Anniston over a kitchen table given the opportunity.
ER I’m dreadfully sorry…
I’ll get my coat.
American Idol/Bachelor/Trashy Jersey Housewives whatever. Shut up, go away!
Jennifer Aniston – agree with everything said about her. Leave her alone! tumbleddown and Mister Rik nailed it perfectly.
Charlie Sheen/Lindsay Lohan/Britney Spears… PARIS HILTON, GO AWAY!
I don’t particularly follow entertainment news anymore but I do see banner ads from entertainment websites and “Trending” headlines on Yahoo! Why am I supposed to care when celebrities get pregnant? Are there women in Iowa or somewhere who relate to these strangers as if they were family?
And Lust4Life wanted to.
This would be the same Sarah Palin whose teleprompter quit working a few minutes into her speech at the Republican National Convention and who finished the long speech without any indication she was giving it entirely from memory with millions of people all over the world watching?
I’ll tell you who I’ve been sick of for years…OPRAH! Yeah girlfriend! Oprah!
Talk about shoving someone down your throat. And the thing is, she does most of the shoving! She’s everywhere, all the time! She’s on Jeopardy, she narrates Nature shows, she’s on the cover of every issue of her magazine (and others), she’s in political shows, she’s got her daily talk show, she’s in commercials, she’s on book covers, she listens to this music, she likes those books, she’s for this politician, she makes this amount of money, she’s got her own network, she goes camping and it’s national news, she’s friends with Gale, she gives away cars, yada yada yada. I’m sick of it, sick I tell ya…the Oprah-ization of the world, right before our eyes, and I can’t do anything about it. 
Right now I’m a little sick of hearing about Rebecca Black, but I suspect that will be over soon. Her 15 minutes were up sometime last week.
Other than her, I’d say Brett Favre. Not so much now, but for awhile a couple of months ago, you couldn’t turn around without hearing something about him or seeing that fuzzy mug staring out at you from some TV screen. The spouse watches a lot of ESPN and SportsCenter so that makes it much worse. It got to where I would leave the room when somebody started talking about him.
These days I’m kind of sick of Charlie Sheen, but I also find him amusing in a trainwreck sort of way so he’s not so bad.
And then there’s Snooki or however the hell you spell it, and that “Situation” guy. I’ve never seen Jersey Shore, but the media seems not to shut up about these two.
