Gossip, Folks!

Blond joke of the day:



Q - Why are there no brunette jokes?



A - Because blondes would have to think them up.



Since my last post on moving to California, I've thought (Yes, this blond does think.) about something that is the same both in Canada and the U.S. People love gossip! It doesn't matter whether it's about your high-school gym teacher, the guy down the road, or someone famous. I guess it's human nature, so don't you even try to deny.
I'll admit it, I have been known to read Perezhilton.com and TMZ.com on a fairly regular basis. In fact, today I got bored surfing the net and had a peek. Here's the top stories, and my blond thoughts on them:

1) Halle Berry had a baby girl, and her name is Nahla Ariela Aubry - Cute gossip, and it's nice to see a celebrity name their child something simpler. I mean, she coulda gone with Apple, Moon-Unit, or Dweezil.

2) Vern (Mini Me) Troyer - So he hung out with House of Pain in Las Vegas, and rapped a little. Cool for him, kinda boring for me. Moving on. (Don't get me wrong, Vern is a hoot to see on those reality shows, but this is too tame compared to that.)

3) Amy Winehouse - Awful pictures of her face, with open sores and other pictures of fresh cuts on her arms. She's been christened "Wino" by one of the gossip blogs, and it seems to me she needs to grow the hell up. She's had a chance that some of those people who tried out for American Idol would kill for, and she's blowing it. Drugs, alcohol, eating disorders, husband in jail....WTF else can go wrong in her life before she realizes she better quit singing about "Rehab" and get her ass in there.

4) Heather Mills McCartney - Dubbed the most hated woman in Britain, she gets no sympathy from me, or the judge either. He basically said she was a big fat liar. She got $48 million from Mr. Beatle, wanted more, and supposedly dumped a glass of water on the opposing council. I'm wondering if you or I would have been arrested for a stunt like that?

5) Prince William and Kate Middleton - Back together, and skiing at a resort. Prince Charles is due to join them later this week. Somewhat interesting, nice to hear about people staying together instead of breaking up and going to court.

6) Harry Potter - Dame Maggie Smith (Professor McGonagall) diagnosed with breast cancer, yet still filming the newest Potter movie. Fight the good fight, Maggie! Meanwhile, Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) has been nicknamed "Harry Puffer" on the set. Yeah, I can't talk, I smoke too. Just say 'no', people...don't even get started.

All in all, I'm glad I only check these sites out once a week or so. Interesting...maybe. But brain food, it's not.
