Okay, I admit it, I read People Magazine sometimes.

{Please don’t tell my Mother. She’d chastise me for wasting my time with nonsense and filling my head with garbage. She’d be right of course, but still, having a good cynical chuckle at the antics of the self-absorbed-most-important-people-in-the-world highlighted in these types of publications can be entertaining. They are entertainers, after all!}

There is something about the unashamedly displaying of diamond-studded hedonism that makes it difficult to avert ones eyes.

Furthermore, I don’t begrudge celebrities their opinions or using their mega-means to showcase their opinions. They are people, like the rest of us, and have a right to their opinions. Well, they aren’t exactly like the rest of us are they?

Think of Tom Cruise pitting his ego-driven opinions against the Princeton educated Brooke Shields, the American Psychiatric Association and the American Medical Association regarding the need for medication for maladies such as post-partum depression. He made statements like, ‘It’s, uh, like, hormone driven, uh, like, you know, it’s not, uh, Scientifically proven, uh, like, to be a, you know like, a disease.’

Now that’s what I’m talking about. That’s entertaining!

Guess nobody gave Tom a script to memorize for that statement. Brooke Shields made some sort of dignified response to his allegations against her. I’m just guessing, but I think she surely has at least 20 I.Q. points on him. It’ really wasn’t a fair fight, but he picked it.

I saw a poll on the internet recently asking if we, the people, would be more inclined to spend money for products endorsed by famous celebrities.

So I asked myself, would I spend a few extra dollars to have a celebrity’s face on the packaging of whatever I’m buying? Hmmmm …. Can’t think of why I’d do that.

So I clicked ‘no’ on the poll. The poll took me to the results page and the results showed something like 98% no, 2% yes.

I would have clicked the Southern option if they’d of had it.


Not just no, but hell no.
