A mini-rant on celebrities

I don't know why, but I'm feeling very opinioned these last few days.
Anyway, I"ll be the first to admit I keep on the celebrity gossip. I have several blogs that I read every day. It's one of my guilty pleasures.

Anyway, this morning I was reading an artilce that the Kardashians were "surprised" that President Obama didn't want his young daughters watching their garbage TV show. In fact, the Kardashians think that the first daughters could LEARN something from their show. "Because it features girls in real-life situations facing real-life problems...health, relationships, the whole gamut."

Ok, first of all. Real-life situations?? Seriously? Since when does real-life include cameras following you around and they just happen to be there when they do certain things or are going through certain things. Seems awfully convenient. It's a real-life problem to live in a humungous house and you own a chain of stores? I'm sorry, Kardashians, but I would not call your show "real life." It may be YOUR real life, but it's not general society's real life. And the girls could learn about health and relationships? What?? Having your ass x-rayed counts as health? And I think the girls will learn about healthy relationships from their mother and father, not Kim, who has been married twice and has a sex tape. Not Khole, who got married to some dude after a month and kept the engagement secret. Not whatever that other one's name is who had a baby with a douchebag. Don't pretend your show is something it isn't. Basically, don't piss in my ear and try to tell me it's raining.

Also, Lindsay Lohan. What the fuck? Can we just throw her in jail already? She may actually LEARN something and IMPROVE her life if she was actually thrown in jail and served her sentence. She's been given probation how many times? She's been given community services how many times? She's been in rehab how many times? She's going to continue on this destructive path she is on until she actually has to face REAL consequences. It makes me sick. If *I* shoplifted or drove drunk or did anything else that she's done, you'd bet your ass I would have been in jail. And if she actually faced these consequences, she may be motivated to actually get the help she needs. She's sick, obviously. But none of thi is going to help her until she realizes that she needs help.
