This whole Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt being the most famous couple in the world is getting out of hand.
Girl, you know I adore you and your sultry lips and bedroom eyes, but this is effing ridiculous. When did it become breaking news on TV that a celebrity couple gave birth to twins?
No, really.
It’s as though she did something special, poppin’ out 2 babies at once. Every woman in the world has the potential to give birth, animals give birth – it ain’t something special. Hell I raised SEA MONKEYS at the age of 3.
And it’s all making me gag slightly in my mouth that we’re following these celebrities like gods and goddesses as though knowing what their lives are all about will change something.
We’re all just living vicariously through them – in which case, what’s the point of living?
Don’t you all want to just live your life and NOT know what celebrities are up to? I understand a bit of harmless gossip is fun here and there, but this Angelina + Brad thing, morphed into Brangelina and kind of pisses me off that so much attention on TV, magazines, TV and even on this blog is being directed to talking about them.
Or any celebrity and their screwed up, schizophrenic, bi-polar lives where drinking each other’s blood, an anorexic chick getting pregnant when she could barely have a period………and the total obsession with what the eat, where they shop, who they talk to, who they fuck, who they go out to dinner with and what they do at every second of the day, consumes us to the point where we follow their comings and goings like it means something to us and to our lives.
If you just want to live through other people, you’re wasting your life and your time by not taking action on your OWN life.
Hello?
Remember you?
Yeah, the one that still needs to get her finances in order or do his laundry?
Or the one that still can’t figure out what to do with her career?
Just unplug, everyone. Unplug from the madness…
It’s getting to be a bit much.
Just a girl trying to find a balance between being a Shopaholic and a Saver.
I cleared $60,000 in 18 months earning $65,000 gross/year.
Now I am self-employed, and you can read more about 
Frugal: Can you imagine growing up in such limelight?
I feel exceptionally sorry for their children. I think they are a great couple and I do think they try to keep out of the lime light. I also read that they won’t accept free gifts. The problem is everyone wants to make money off them: the locations they stay at, the companies that send them free stuff etc.
They are just people!
p.s. some of the announcements from France were ridiculous!!!!
Boutique: I don’t get it eh 🙂
QuiteLight: I don’t miss TV either.. but thanks for the word change – WILL use it from now on. I promise!!
Sara Elisabeth: but then it gets to the point where they’re ‘common’ so no one wants to read about them.. but in response to Revanche — LOL — paying parents to have beautiful or brainy kids IN SPITE of them, is pretty funny.
I do agree that they’re more likely to donate it but it’s like getting paid to do something you were gonna do anyway, that everyone thinks is a big deal but isn’t
katelin: did you know the mayor or whoever of the area in the south of france even made it a brangelina day?
LAL: $11m…. it’s nuts!
I didn’t even know she had the kids. BUT damn paying $11m for pictures? I was on a message board where they asked how would the magazine make the money back?
i couldn’t agree more about the brad and angelina madness, it’s insane really.
I had an awful thought: Why not pay those parents who managed to have attractive children despite their parents?
Heh. So wrong.
The only thing that bothers me less (since I don’t watch tv and am not exposed to celeb gossip) about the craze surrounding them is that they’re more likely than most to donate that money to charity or do something remotely worthwhile with it.
I am sick of the hype Brad and Angie are getting too. I’m sure many kids out there are just as beautiful as theirs, why not pay those parents, the ones who really need it, the million dollars for one picture?
We turned off our cable last fall, & miss it WAY less than I would have thought, given the amount we used to watch.
One of the finest perks is glancing at the tabloids in line, not recognizing the celeb & realizing I DON’T CARE! Now that I’m not on an IV drip of gossip, I don’t follow them! If I miss a reference in a conversation, & reeeeeally want to know, there are, oh, 1 or 2 celebrity gossip sites out there I can check.
It’s glorious.
(PS Can I suggest ‘unusually tall” instead of “abnormally tall”?)
Good on ya girl, I agree completley!
I like my fix of celeb gossip, but I like to go to a trashy weekly gossip magazine to get it!
I am with you that this world is in a shocking state, yet Brangelina?? twins make world wide news bulletins!!!
Diva: aww thank you 🙂 It just bothers me to hear that kind of news when I’m more interested in what’s happening to gas prices + cost of living
Mandy: last I heard, P Hilton was preggers…
Feli: Aww thanks! 🙂 haahahah… I hope I can help more let me know if you want to see anything else.
Sara: LOL.. why thank you. Well, I think seeing people’s lives being the worst, are when we feel the best about ourselves “thank god we’re not _______” But that’s kind of pathetic
“Hell I raised SEA MONKEYS at the age of 3.” Best. Quote. Ever.
I checked out of celebrity gossip when I realized for most people being covered, their lives were *worse* than mine.
Hi FB, I found your blog via Blah Suzie. And I AM HOOKED!! I absolutely love your blog. And being in a huge debt (Mortgage, creditcards and what not) your blog provides heaps of handy hints.
I will be back for sure.
To tell you the truth, I am getting sick and tired about celebs too. I mean come on they do not even know that we exist in this world.
Celebrity baby news is like the next big thing. I mean people are not getting pregnant so they can become famous. Or it seems like. Yuck.
I admit it, I’m a celebrity gossip junkie…but you’re right, it’s pretty pathetic when celebrity baby news overrides “real” news, like your blog – it rocks!
Anonymous: I am sick of celebrity worship. I have better things to do with my life…
Optimistic: Glad you found it funny!!! This being pressing, important news is showing us all that we’ve all got it f*cked up
I laughed so hard reading this that I snorted and some of my sandwich flew out of my mouth. 😀 I’m with you, sister. When this is the pressing news of the day, along with Jaime Lynn’s baby… *eyes roll*
Can you say it again?! This celebrity gossip,reality tv shows following celebs, 500 different types of magazines with the same gossip about celebrities is OUT.OF.CONTROL….
