Britney Broke Her Paris and Lohan is Just Richie

We should no longer be allowed to report on Britney Spears
Paris Hilton

Nicole Richie

Lindsay Lohan

Even me who was a listener to their attentions and the woes

Once I would hear them speak

My interest is lost

It is weird to know so much about someone

That you listen to their every move

And I realized it isn't their every move I am listening to

I am listening to what is on the news, everywhere

Talk about no choices

You can't turn on the TV without one of them currently in rehab

Getting a ticket

Driving the wrong way

Or in jail for an accumulation of events

A nightclub they may have been too young to go to

And by 21 they appear to be much older than they are

We say it is money or fame

It is simply someone to talk about that is not us

That we can put attention to that is not us

That we can use as an example one way or the other and it is still weirder than us

These people made their way by showing up, dressing up and needing attention

And then complaining about the attention they asked for and don't know who they are without it

And we don't know if we love them or don't

Respect them or not

Care for them or not

We just know them

We hear everything about their every move

Imagine that enjoyment on your part

No privacy even when you seek it

You can't sleep in your car with your mouth open one day and wake up to the world in glitter the next

And we are amazed at the drama

So it replaces our own

WE need them in many ways

So that we don't need ourselves so much

Something to watch

Over and over again

Today I woke up hearing of restraining orders from mother to daughter or each others child

something in me changed this morning

I felt bad that we are fed this

Watching people live as they destroy themselves

And this is who we give credence to

When I hear them speak I am never impressed

And more interested in their love for the attention

It is not even beauty anymore

It is what is simply something to do

And I do not want to do it anymore

There is more to life than living in the world of appearances and furor

It seems like a joke that we do this, however I am sure we find greater things to hear if those things were allowed time on media

We have a need for release

It is medication

and Media

Drugs and Alcohol

That is the crazy thing

We all escape and their escapism is that is most interesting to us

For then we don't have to fess up to our own
