What Celebs/Scandals Are You Sick of Hearing About?
Every morning starts the same for me. I roll out of bed after hitting snooze three times, finally accepting the fact that I do, in fact, have to get up. I make a pot of coffee and sit at my computer, steaming cup in hand, while I browse the news stories on CNN and the Boston Globe. Then I scroll down my list of bookmarks to my Google Reader page, and take in all the celebrity drama and entertainment news that it has collected over night. As a pop-culture blogger, I enjoy reading about most of these Hollywood A-listers (and usually B, C and D-listers, as there always seems to be more news about them); however, there a few things I don't enjoy. Today's announcement about Kate Gosselin's new show on TLC called Twist of Kate has me thinking about what other celebrity news/gossip stories I'm incredibly sick of seeing take over my RSS feed.
Take Kate and Jon Gosselin for example. Why is everyone still so obsessed with this train wreck of a former couple? Why are they still appearing in my feed four or five times a day? I don't care that Kate changed her hairstyle or that Jon gained 20 lbs. (although he does look awful). I don't care that Kate is on Dancing with the Stars or that people are saying she is a "total bitch" (How did you not know that already? Do you live in a cave?). I almost care about the fact that Jon is suddenly seeking custody of the "plus 8," if only because I care about the welfare of the kids, but I do not care to hear their childish, bickering statements to each other via their lawyers. Please, just take the spotlight off of these two so I don't have to read anymore boring and repetitive stories about them. And maybe give custody of the kids to a loving aunt.
The other celebs I really can't stand to hear about anymore are Tiger Woods and Jesse James, because really, they're just two jackasses in a pod, are they not? We know that both Tiger and Jesse had numerous affairs. I'm sure there will continue to be a parade of women who come forward claiming to have been one of the many mistresses (and side note: what is wrong with you women? Have you no shame?). Yes it was a huge scandal, but it has been months since the Tiger Woods one started, and yet it's still on my news feed every day. Enough already! How about we let Tiger get back to playing golf and worrying about whether his wife will attack him again with one of his own clubs (go Elin!). And poor Sandra hardly had a second to enjoy her Oscar win before having to go into hiding thanks to everyone wanting to know about her lying, cheating dog-of-a-husband. Elin and Sandra should really just cut their losses, take them for all they're worth and be done with it.
So please, for the love of God, let's move on, beacuse I really can't stand to look at one more picture of Michelle "Bombshell" McGee.
Which of these are you most sick of hearing about? Or is there another one constantly and annoyingly on your mind? Answer today's poll and leave your comments!
