Britney Spears Rushed to Hospital in Ambulance After Holding Her Kids Hostage

Britney Spears hospitalized

Has it finally happened? Are people finally ready to stop taking cheap shots at Britney Spears (both literally and figuratively) and start locking her up?

Maybe, according to the swarm of paps:

You would think it was the night of Princess Di’s accident the way all forms of media clustered around the ambulance housing Britney Spears, who was under the influence of drugs when she was picked up for psychiatric evaluation, following refusal to turn over custody of her kids to K-Fed’s bodyguard.

It’s disgusting how out of control this situation has become.

Instead of continuing to see Spears as a perennial punching bag how about we all look at her for what she really is: a complete mess with two children taking zero responsibility for her actions. To think people still stick up for her makes me sick; her family should feel ashamed and halfway responsible. Britney Spears needs to be locked up and forgotten about, not empathized with.

Celebrity Overexposure: Are We to Blame?

Paris Hilton Lindsay Lohan Britney Spears

I’ll admit it: I log onto sites like Perez Hilton almost daily.

Why? Mostly because I’m avoiding work that I should be doing—a writer who hates staring at a computer screen spends a lot of time procrastinating—but also because I like the idea of watching celebrities act stupid. It’s lame, and a little selfish, but watching someone who’s got more money and power and status than I do make horrible life or outfit decisions is entertaining to me.

Am I jealous? Maybe a little. But I think the biggest motivator to peruse gossip blogs is the desire to break though the façade of Hollywood. I just can’t believe everyone is that cool and calm and collected and beautiful all the time. The writer in me wants to see the reality behind the fake tan. Read More »

Amy Winehouse, Battered and Bruised

Amy Winehouse - Battered and Bruised

Amy Winehouse has spun completely out of control.

Bruised and battered from a scuffle with her “husband” Blake Fielder-Civil, 23-year-old Winehouse looked very much the mess on London streets early Thursday morning. This is certainly one of those cases where even the paparazzi reveals a heart - if only after taking pictures of the bloodied-up couple.

With enough celeb sob-stories to muss over every minute of every day Winehouse’s fall from grace is the most distressing, as her rise to worldwide fame has given way to worldwide infamy in record time.

I sincerely hope that she finds some help from some of her real-life friends - not money-grubbing, tail-following scenesters.

Paparazzi Cab Service for Celebrities Gone Wild

paparazziAs we all know, Lindsay Lohan is at it, again. After finishing up a stay at the ritzy Promises rehab clinic and being formally charged with Driving Under the Influence on July 20th, she was arrested again on July 24th. She was also charged with possession of cocaine and driving with a suspended license.

Lindsey Lohan is the latest Hollywood star to be booked on DUI charges. It only a month ago when we couldn’t get away from Paris Hilton had to do time for driving with a suspended license, a charge that stemmed from a DUI. And lets not forget Mel Gibson’s drunken tirade last year when he got pulled over for a DUI. These are only a few examples of celebrities gone wild. Read More »
