Jay-Z and Beyonce are getting hitched!!!
& they might even live in Scarsdale, NY! Actually I don't find this particularly interesting, on second thought I don't find it interesting at all. It's like when I'm watching some of those evening entertainment shows and there's George Clooney being interviewed about this movie or that girlfriend I find myself being vaguely irritated, it's not so much George Clooney even though of course he's a big-time lib, I just never got this whole celebrity worship thing. I might admire somebody's craft and want to know a little about his or her life but that's about it. We have a war going on amongst other things, I'm sorry, I don't get it.

I even hate celebrity blogs like the Huffington Post. It's not that they don't have freedom of speech to blog like the rest of us but just because they're well known their blogs get the most hits but I think, ahem, that many of the lesser-known blogs are much better in quality like Beth's and the blogs she has linked to. If I had the time I could read them for hours. It's like who cares what the famous think, we already know and many of them have or have had newspaper columns to air their views so why do they even need blogs? I kinda like to think blogs are for what the late Leona Helmsley called the little people, think of it as more exciting and a step ahead of your typical letter-to-the-editor of your local paper, and I like to think of blogging as having your very own personal cybercolumn since most of us don't write for newspapers or sit at the famous "Meet the Press" roundtable with our NBC coffee mugs.
ReplyDelete& it's why they hate us so much,
ReplyDeletewe are the true Vox Populi (Voice of the People).
You are not alone in not caring what celebrities think and/or do.
ReplyDeleteAnd I also agree with you that we bloggers are much more interesting to read!
As a matter of fact, I would much rather get a chance to meet any blogging friend I know (except Erik) than have the chance to meet any celebrity.
All I really care about is are they good in the movies or can they sing so I don't waste my money on an overpriced ticket and as for Beyonce she's been overexposed for years now.
ReplyDeleteSo of course somebody left an US Weekly or something in the breakroom and not being totally immune to this sort of stuff, after all I need blogging material, so there it was, a big cover story about Britney's mental illness and how she's getting better. The article really pushes the benefits of meds, everything from Lithium to Wellbutrin, but even one of the doctors quoted said there are initial problems with meds, a "cognitive dulling" he calls it, and people say that ever since she's been on her meds she has a vacancy look about her and this in an article extolling the virtues of antidepressants!! I myself would like a self-imposed media blackout of Everything Britney because that's what I think her real problem is (dream on kiddo!).
ReplyDeleteI just feel bad for the whole situation with her.
ReplyDeleteI don't fully buy the whole bipolar thing though. She was quoted recently when her sister Jamie Lynn got pregnant that she would up that to get attention. It is a kind of mental disorder but I think the ole bipolar doesn't explain it all, I mean there are people who are manic/depressive but somehow manage through life.
ReplyDeleteHer brain certainly doesn't seem to work the same way most people's do.
ReplyDelete...which is really saying something because the human race as a whole ain't too bright...
ReplyDeleteSo true, so true...
ReplyDeleteWell she's been on "How I Met Your Mother" and Tina Fey wants her to do "30 Rock", "Dateline" just did a whole one-hour special on her wobbly life alone, it ain't helping
ReplyDeleteimo.
I think we could all do well with a break from Britney.
ReplyDelete...but can she do without us?
ReplyDeleteYou know what's a shame though. In her prime she had an ok talent but how many artists don't get nearly a fraction of the coverage she gets? Sure, it's because she ain't livin' right but why can't the media focus more on the clean artists? You never see that many stories on Jewel or Norah Jones, geez we need a break from dysfunction at least once in a while.
