Celebretard
When did we become so obsessed with celebrity? I was bored out of my mind on a recent layover. I had finished my book, called everyone I knew twice and talked to everyone unfortunate enough to be stuck in the same gate as me. I decided to head down to the magazine shop and grabbed anything that looked like it could distract me for a few hours. I bought People, Us, In Touch, OK and Life and Style. I thought OK, this is enough to keep me occupied for a while. Wrong! Each magazine had the same pictures, articles and mindless blabber as the next.
Poor Britney Spears, no wonder she has lost her mind. I couldn't take my every waking hour being documented. Look she's going to the restroom, she's having a glass of water, and she's driving a car badly. I would too if I had 100 people standing snapping photos around me while I tried to navigate through the streets of Los Angeles.
All of the magazines had the same disturbing feature called who wore it best. They show two celebrities wearing the same outfit and readers vote for who they think looked better in the same dress. All of the women looked fantastic, but one might have weighed one more pound than the other or wore pumps instead of sandals. Infractions were tallied and votes were cast. Some were close to 50/50, but others were 70/30, 80/20 or 90/10. The poor women who scored only 10%, I bet they wind up in rehab or some anorexic clinic for being judged so harshly.
Some of the people I didn't even recognize or know what they were famous for. I know Kim Kardashian's father was O.J.'s lawyer, but what does she do? There were also women from a reality show called The Hills. They are in a reality show about living in California and they are famous for being filmed in their daily lives? What am I not getting here?
There was also an obsession with babies. Who was pregnant or bump watch as it was called. Did someone have an extra piece of cake or were they pregnant? All I know is that is if Nicole Kidman is 5 month pregnant then I must be having triplets, because I would kill to have a stomach that flat.
One of the most disturbing trends was which baby wore it better. Honest to God, they rated one celebrity baby against another. Who has the better outfit, better haircut, better stroller and better smile? Better, better, better… they are babies, make it stop! I know I never picked out my outfit or hairstyle at two years old. These poor kids, they never did anything to be a celebrity, but are being judged by the same harsh standard as their parents. Make it stop, don't buy another one of the magazines and maybe we can stop this horrible trend.
