Celebrity Blogs

Alright, I may or may not have a newfound obsession with celebrity life. I think it is derived from me worrying I might (heaven forbid) miss huge entertainment industry happenings while over here. Unfortunately, I think I know more now than I did when I was in the States. I just have a fascination with the personalities of people who are famous. It's such an odd little state of affairs. Are people really that cool? I mean, P. Diddy, for instance. He can throw a mean party, he is quite the business man, but why does he get international recognition for just being sweet? I mean, you expect these people to have huge amounts of suave-ness unmatched by anyone you'll ever dream to meet, but it's just a guy.

I was reminded of this through a news story that mentioned Rosie O'Donnell's blog. They mocked her lack of grammatical abilities. Alright, when you find a way to combine celebrity gossip and grammar, I am there. I read it and her grammar does suck, although she says that right at the beginning, but her thoughts aren't earth shattering. I mean, life for Rosie O'Donnell is pretty much the same as a lot of people. She hangs out with her kids, writes about the things they teach her. Well, a lot of people's kids teach them stuff. It's one of the reasons you keep kids around. She has some vague political ponderings, again not that impressive. I liked it for being so normal, but it was weird. Then I looked up other celebrity blogs. Well, Forbes ranked some and mentioned Moby's blog. I like Moby's blog. But I would. He's not any more interesting, honestly. He just says things I like. And he used punctuation and probably a spellchecker.

Is there something to too much publicity giving away the mystery of celebrities? I think perhaps only the ones who aren't mysterious anyway. I like Moby's blog and he doesn't just bare all. He just talks about the world around him. Same with Rosie's. People are just people and perhaps our billions of dollars we pour into the entertainment industry is really just a hope that there's something more to being a person. We, too, could obtain their superhuman-esque powers. You know, if we really wanted to that is. Either way, check out the blogs. It's fun.
