We do have a sick fascination with pseudo-celebrities, don’t we? How many of you have subscriptions to People, Us Weekly and any other tabloids newspaper? How many of you thumb through them at the checkout when buying groceries, and then toss them into the cart?
Why do we care about Victoria Beckham? Why do follow the stupid antics of attention whores known as Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and Amy Winehouse. Why do we put this assholes on such a high pedestal? Are our lives so empty that we need to worship these people as if they were more than human?
Sure we laugh at them, and point our fingers at their crazy antics, but we still want to know what they’re up too.
People, we need to stop dumb, idol worship of stars. Stop buying People, Us Weekly and any other tabloid. Stop watching the vain and empty shows like Entertainment Tonight and Access Hollywood, which under the guise of reporting the “news,” is just another way to exploit people. And the Billy Bush is a complete wanker.
Meanwhile, the death of Heath Ledger has brought the worst in fans, acting as if his death -while a tragic loss for his family - is somehow a crucial juncture in history. The there’s the hate mongers, pricks like Fake News host John Gibson, who his radio show Tuesday called Ledger a "weirdo" with a "serious drug problem" and suggested that Ledger killed himself because he had "a serious position in the (stock) market" or perhaps "watched the Clinton-Obama debate last night.”
Anyways, the bizarreness will continue when People Magazine releases its issue tomorrow on the death of Ledger. My company has already notified us that they could not get their hands on any more copies than our usual draw. Which means, the ghouls of the universe, ones like Best Buy who had a display of Ledger movies set up mere hours after his death, will be out in force looking to buy his videos.
