After finishing my hot buttered
cinnamon toast and sipping on hot tea, the time had arrived for me to check the
day’s top news headlines. I had not seen
the news before my morning commute, so I log into the computer at work and
check the reports. In hopes that I did
not missed any great events overnight, I skimmed the headlines on one of
America’s most trusted news sources: TMZ.com
In Sports:
LT
Alleged Victim – I had no Choice
I have heard enough about Lawrence
Taylor and the underage prostitute and I am disgusted by the whole
scenario. Until it’s time for his court
case, I am not interested in the he said/she said surrounding the situation.
In Politics:
Bristol
Palin and Levi Johnston finally play nice
How Bristol and Levi relate to
politics, I will never understand. If
being the child of a female politician that a large part of America believes is
an idiot makes a story about you and your baby daddy politics, so be it.
In Justice:
Conrad
Murray Supporters Plan Demonstration
The man who murdered the King of
Pop now needs people to support him. Where was Michael’s support when you waited
to call the EMT’s when his heart stopped?
In Movies:
Lindsey
Lohan – dumped from film
After her unsuccessful stint in
rehab, rejection from multiple Hollywood nightclubs and drunken Twitter fights
with her girlfriend, what movie director would want this train wreck to be
affiliated with their movie?
After realizing that all of this is
old news and things that I have heard repeatedly, I move my fact finding
mission on over to the next most reliable website: PerezHilton.com. The information is usually similar to that
of TMZ but at least there will be colorful commentary to accompany it. As I
scan the site, I noticed some different news stories that are of some interest
to me.
Kelly
Rowland continues to deny those pesky rivalry with Beyonce rumors
Since the breakup of Destiny’s
Child, Kelly has been trying to make a name for herself in the music industry. Only if Beyonce would get pregnant or if Lady
Gaga would take a break, Kelly could find some room to fit in.
Romance
is never dead for Heidi and Seal
We are very well aware that romance is not
dead between those two. I am expecting
the announcement of baby number 4 as soon as I quit typing this.
Lil
Wayne gets sued in prison AGAIN!
2009 was a good year for Weezy,
2010 not so much. With four baby mommas, federal prison time and now a fourth
lawsuit for withheld royalties, Wayne is probably missing the days of “bling,
bling”.
Ten minutes later, I venture back to
TMZ.com to see if there have been any updates.
Tiger
Woods has a bulging dick (disc)
Warrant
singer arrested for a DUI
Tom
Cruise – Betrayed by Scientology?
These headlines go on for page after
page. There is even a TMZ.com live feed that gives me real time updates from
Hollywood. While me and 7 million other
people focus on the “news’, there are natural disasters occurring in Tennessee
and Kentucky, car bomb threats in Times Square, and the NBA Playoffs. It seems
that I have lost touch with what is most important. I cannot focus on the problems of the world
when there is celebrity drama surrounding me. To see famous people fail in life
and fall from their pedestals is something that makes me smile. These antics
make celebrities more human, more like me.
So instead of CNN, MSNBC or even Fox, I will always get my information
from gossip sites.
