What the heck is going on over there? Have you all become vastly aware of how incredibly unimportant many of you are? Sure, there are a few people who will be worth remembering because of what they brought to movies, or music, or television.
Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, Ed McMahon, and even Billy Mays were bigger idols for their work than most of you will ever be.
Over the past few days, I've found myself reading celebrity news a lot more than I ever have. I'm following the whole Michael Jackson ordeal and I wore blue in honor of Billy Mays yesterday. But while reading all the new articles coming out about these people, I'm finding myself incredibly disgusted with the whole idea of Hollywood, fame, and fortune. The paparazzi are being relentless with the whole MJ event, talking about the "real" parents of MJ's kids.
Those kids' real dad was Michael Jackson. He raised them from birth. He tried to make sure they were happy while also teaching them manners and showing them parts of the world they needed to see. (Many of the photos where MJ is out with his kids are from charity events.) I read an article about the man who had to relay the news of their father's death to the children. They screamed and cried, Paris specifically saying, "No, Daddy, no!" She's 11.
Jon and Kate (of the Plus 8 variety) have also made me feel sick to my stomach. They literally just renewed their vows "to show their kids that they'll always be together." The fact that they're divorcing and that Jon is excited about the possibilites is twisted and sickening. Those 8 kids have just become a part of a terrible statistic.
I'm just so freaking disgusted with society right now. I'm sort of just cutting this blog off, but I can't stand to think/write about it anymore. It makes me sad and angry and sick.
Bye June! <3
PS: Because I KNOW the first paragraph could eat me alive later-- No, I'm not saying I'm any more important than those silly celebs. I'm saying they're just as insignificant as us "regular people" and that they're human too. Michael Jackson died, and therefore, anyone can. The End.

i agree with you 100% on the jon and kate thing. not to mention that they might even bring his girlfriend on the show. i hate what that show has become and how the parents earn $75,000 PER EPISODE to parade their kids around. if anything that probably tore them apart more than anything else.
