Hollywood Stars are Like You and Me

Hollywood stars aren't some special kind of person. They run the same gamut as the rest of the population. Some are happy, some not, some rich, some not, some mean, some nice. Why the fascination with all these people? I'm sure some are very nice people but why don't we celebrate and pay a teacher the same for the heroic work she or he does.

Britney Spears Mental Condition

Isn't there anyone who is close to Britney Spears that can help her get adequate help. This means long term help that will allow her to work through her issues. Meanwhile, everyone voyeuristically watches her self destruct. I guarantee all the TV exposure, tabloids, gossip does nothing to help Britney Spears on any other Hollywood star get better. It's like we hound them into even getting worse. When did this start happening? Pathetic.

Paris Hilton

What has Paris Hilton done to deserve anything besides being a rich daughter who hails from an obviously dysfunctional household and is a mess herself? I have yet to see any talent in this one beyond preening and keening for the camera. Spoiled is never pretty.

Britney Spears and the Midriff

Does everyone have to show off their midriff? It gets so common that it becomes boring. Like any other fad, people just do it to fit in. It's kind of cool to know there are people who aren't swayed by fads. Same hairdo, same clothes, same everything. Yawn. Go out and do something unique and worthwhile.

Enough Disney

So I guess we have to wait until every movie and television show is either made or owned by Disney before our culture descends into a pool of blandness cherished by totalitarian rulers. Keep the masses dulled down and the ruling class gets to do whatever it wants. I know, gotta go watch your Disney movie with the kids.

Britney Having Problems

Have you heard? The media seems to think that Britney Spears is more important than anything happening anywhere else. I'm glad nothing else is happening in our country that requires the media attention. Keep partying Britney, the news will keep us informed. Remember, democracy only happens if there is an informed electorate.

What Happened to the News?

I'm pretty sure the news used to cover things like Watergate and crises important to the general population, the hearings were on television. Now we get Britney Spears. No wonder people don't know their elbow from their armpit, they're not getting enough information to make rational decisions. Luckily we can all rest easier because nobody would ever want to co-opt the constitution or use the government to benefit their buddies, not in this country. But if it were happening we would probably want the news to cover it rather than Britney Spears.
