Hello/OK?

Celebrity Gossip magazines really grieve me. I know a girl who buys them by the truck load and reads out what she thinks is an interesting article ("Madonna's had a new tree in her back garden. It's a designer one that blossoms expensive ear-rings").
I had a gander at Hello/OK/Scoop or whatever it was and scanned article after article of pointless, inane garbage.
Why do we have a fascination with the day to day lives of those richer than us?
I can understand rock biographies and those interested in people that create but these mags are just baffling.

"Brad Pitt spotted whistling"
"Justin Timberlake has a meal just like a normal person"
"Britney walks past butchers"
"50 Cent buys a pair of shoes"


WHO CARES?!

The one that got to me the most was a story on Jade Goody's new boyfriend. Jade, for those of you who have the joy of having never heard/seen her, is an ex-Big Brother contestant from a few years ago. Somehow she has managed to stay 'famous' by doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Who care's if she has a new boyfriend? What possible use is that information to anyone?
What next?

FRONT COVER:

"(INSERT 'CELEBRITY') completes Streetfighter 2 on the HARDEST setting: See inside for 56 pages of pictures"

"I've got a new shed- Tom Cruise shows us where he hangs his shears and keeps his hammers."

"I fucked someone this weekend and I have no intention of calling them - Robbie Williams"


Rubbish.
