You just articulated everything I think when I hear these celebrities have hissy-fits and complain about how "obsessed" people are with them and their lives. I so appreciated the way you coherently displayed all your thoughts and GET OUTTA MY HEAD!

i yearn for the days when music companies and hollywood studios had publicists whose job it was to cultivate and protect the artists/actors from themselves. now, it seems as though their jobs are to aid in the destruction of the stars for the sake of $ and more publicity. the studios and their minions no longer work to protect the artists/actors nor their art, but rather to protect this fragile bubble of the fast life they're all living....

"Furthermore, it’s silly to imply that people can’t multi-task their life priorities. There’s no reason to think that you can’t get an inappropriate and slightly insensitive kick and giggle out of the Tiger Woods debacle while also staying abreast of the catastrophic collapse of the healthcare legislation originally proposed by the President."

THANK. YOU. I don't understand why it seems to be so universally accepted that if someone mentions something going on in pop culture, it must also be true that they know nothing about anything else. Thoughts about Suri Cruise's latest shoe choice and those about California's water crisis are not mutually exclusive, and I cannot figure out why anyone would assume that they are.

Bonita I have mixed feelings about Hill...on the one hand I like that he cares...on the other hand his books seem to reach a mostly bourgie audience that doesn't even need the message. I'd love to hear your issue with him?

Fabulous Do Gooder, exactly! I think there are certain celebs who'd be just fine if fame went away...others would be planting stories on the blogs to get back in the public eye.

Lexi Union's blog did sound really fed up. Which is weird because all her publicity is coming from her private life...maybe she has some projectso out of which I'm not aware?

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!

Such a well put together response to that monstrosity that was Gabrielle Union's ill-timed celbrity rant!

That woman made herself so ignorant to every day life and extremely inarticulate.

I find it sad that other celebrities are raving this as some sort of literary brilliancy, however I have my own gripes with that little package of corniness that is Hill Harper

I always did find it extremely offensive for people to condemn mourning the loss of celebrities, just because we didnt know them personally doesnt mean that their death should be of no concern to us, at the end of the day the loss of a life is always tragic.

I also wasn't interested in reading Gabrielle Union's blog post. I finally did and my initial thought "What the Hell does what she's saying have to do with Chris Henry's death"? The answer, Not a Damn Thing! What was more appalling to me were all the well known celebs who were retweeting it as 'prophecy'. Her blog seems like she's fed up with the celeb lifestyle that "she chose". Mind you Ms. Union with all your skeletons that are not even in the closet, the public is what keeps you where you are. No matter how good an actress you are without the support of the 'public' that you put down so well, you would be no where. You need to be a hell of a lot more grateful.

I agree with several points that you've made. It is as if many of these artist/celebrities care more about "being famous" than their art/work. I really respect celebs like Johnny Depp because he could really care less about the celeb lifestyle.
