I read those trashy celebrity gossip rags.

I surely do. My granny used to read the real trashy rags. I'm talking National Enquirer and right now my mind is slipping. What's the name of the one really bad one? It's all in black and white...feels like newspaper. It's the one that boasts headlines like; "I had Big Foot's Baby!"

Do you know which one I'm talking about? Is it Globe or something like that?

Well shit...anyway. I read People or US. That's about as low as I'll go anymore.

This is a true story. I went to my granny's one afternoon and she was sitting in her blue chair, smoking a cigarette and reading that damn trashy black and white magazine. She said to me; "Sandy...you ain't gonna believe what I just read. This here boy got locked in a freezer and had to eat his own foot off just to keep from starving. Can you imagine that?"

I laughed. Not real hard but a small giggle. I told my dear Granny that she had to stop believing all that junk in these magazines of hers. I told her that story probably wasn't the truth.

Frances got sooo mad at me and I won't never forget what she said. "Well lookey here smartass...if it weren't true they wouldn't PRINT it.....now would they?"

Okaaaaaaaaaaaay.

Never argued with her about that again. That's for damn sure.

But back to the celebrity gossip. I don't know why this is bugging me today but I read where Paul McCartney wants to trademark his name.

??????

You can read one of the articles here.

I guess it's bugging me a little because like me and my friend were talking about the other day. See...we were sipping our coffee, flipping through my new People magazine and it just strikes me as odd from time to time. Why do we, including myself, but why do we as a society adore these people soo much? How many times do you see them hit the interviewing circuit to promote a new movie or CD and while you're watching and listening you think to yourself; "Oh my GOD...this person is a fucking idiot. Total cluebag! Can they even tie their own shoe? Did she/he just really say that? DUMBASS!"

And the amount of money they make is truly obscene and me personally...I don't care how long it took to make a movie but getting paid 20 million dollars? Yea..I'm just gonna go ahead and say they didn't really EARN THAT.

And now Paul trademarking his name?

It's just rubbing me all the wrong way. I mean I know he got all kinds of pissy when Michael Jackson bought the rights to the BEATLES songs and then turned around and let NIKE use them in commercials.

Maybe I should be reading a real newspaper right now but I'm not. I'll do that later on. These celebrity magazines give my brain a break after reading the real news sometimes. War, Death, Hunger, Crime.......it's troubling. So sue me if I like reading all the junk our CELEBRITIES are up to.

I honestly can't think of one celebrity right now that I would even spit on if they were to catch fire.

I'm totally serious.

They are a bunch of fuckin' idiots.
