What local internet addict is spending too much time worrying about the Jolie family?

It amazes me the rubbish papers publish, receives attention from the public. How does a picture of a couch count as news? when you claim that Brad Pitt has been spending his nights there. GAH! that isn't news! that is lazy publishing!

I think the reason that certain celebrities continue to be in the lime light week after week is because readers want to see 'what happens next' in their story. We all know the Jolie-Pitt story, but we want to see what happens next. How does the fabulously wealthy, ultra good looking, with beautiful children manage to screw up? We want to know! cause they can't have all that and not be secretly sucky at SOMETHING! and we, the public, have to know.

Maybe we'd leave them alone if they'd just open the door to their villa and tell us what it was. "we are rubbish at putting away our shoes" said Angelina.

Then again, we probably would only be more desperate for something more exciting in the sucky department.

The thing is...i managed to avoid the magazines full of almost clothed celebrities. I manage to pass on the blatant gossip sites, such as page6 and Perez Hilton...yet i get stuck on the entertainment/social section of the news sites. damn...sucked in again! How does that happen? i don't usually find myself attracted to the ho hum life of overpaid, under clothed actors...i think it's the tag lines. It must be the tag lines that suck me in.

Sigh...i'm such a sucker.

Celebrity confusion

I must admit to be a little shocked over how much attention some celebrities get. Anna Nicole Smith never made a blockbuster movie or sold a million CDs yet, even before her death the press enjoyed chasing her down the road. (probably to watch her chest bounce) Now that she has passed away, the press still won't leave her alone! While she was alive the girl was defined by her body, now that she is dead, it's her body that still won't stay out of the news! (i think the media need to get some therapy!)

Britney Spears who hasn't released an album in quite some time is on the news every night. Her strange antics seems to be screaming for press coverage all the while she's telling people "DON'T TOUCH ME!".

Finally we have Paris Hilton who...I'm not actually sure why she became famous...maybe daddy tipped off the press that his baby girl wanted to become internationally stalked. Anyway...so we've got princess Paris who, despite her seemingly stupid nature, is a business shark.

So these people who do nothing except flaunt their bodies (in Anna's case it was only while living) can get constant press coverage while celebrities who are actually making movies and television seem to be left alone...i really hope this is a reflection on the media and not our culture.
