My celebrity rant
Celebrities. What's up with them? Some of them are serious artists or activists, but some of them are just jokes. Take Britney Spears, for example. Take an average American girl, with average mousy hair, and an average sounding voice. Put her in sparkles and a tiny top, colored sun glasses and dye her hair. Put her in a push up bra, airbrush her skin and put her on the cover of Rolling Stone. Heavily promote her mediocre record of songs she didn't even write. There's your star. Mariah Carey. Ooooh she's *so* tired; had a breakdown. Gee, if I woke up every morning and had someone serve me my breakfast, do my hair and makeup, drive me around town, dress me up in a slutty outfit and prop me up in front of a tv camera with cue cards to read I'd probably be tired, too. Gimme a break. These people were just average until someone "discovered" them and then plastered them all over the media. Then little Suzie and Johnny take a liking to them, and then Suzie and Johnny's friends, and then their friends, and so goes the snowball of "stars." Think about it.. nowadays you see so many "stars" and music acts.. Mandy Moore, Jessica Simpson, Five, N'Sync, Backstreet Boys, Eden's Crush, O-Town (what a dumb name), Dream, etc. Does that mean more and more talented people are being discovered? No. It just means more and more average people are being dolled up and put into show business. And I'm sick of seeing their airbrushed images and screaming fans everywhere. I'm sick of the media praising them. I'm sick of the N'Sync dolls and TRL mania. I'm sick of their lives being news. P Diddy goes on trial? Who cares?!Celebrities, get a real job!

What prompted such an outburst of dislike for "media darlings"? Did Lizzie Grubbman try to run you over?
S'just like I said.. I'm sick of them ;P I want them all to just go away.
And who would fill the void?
Real artists? I don't know. Entertainment is such a small part of life. For hundreds of years people survived without actors and popstars, so I think we could manage now.
