Who doesn’t love a good train wreck like Lindsay Lohan or Britney Spears? For us “ordinary folk” (those of us who wear Old Navy, drink PBR and dream of tetris being an Olympic sport) there’s nothing like a healthy dose of tabloid exploitation on those who live in (what at least appears to be) an alternate universe… where dogs wear juicy couture, cars come equipped with mini-bars, breasts double as flotation devices and pocket lint is laced with cocaine.

Is it true though? Or are the tabloids just running exaggerated fantasies to harpoon mass appeal? It’s hard to know because these grandiose lifestyles are perpetuated by the attention drawn to them (unless the celebrity is actually talented). Case in point — the Kardashian sex tape.

Bad publicity is good publicity, I suppose… especially for the venues that become associated with celebrity attendance (who doesn’t want to go to places where you might see a rockstar in a bar fight or catch Paris Hilton stripping down to… well… a slightly more naked version of her usual self?).

When talking about club publicity, nothing turns up the temp on a particular venue more than the drug habits of the celebrities. The scandalous behaviors of one Miss Britney Spears has made headlines for a variety of clubs in New York including an all time personal favorite, Marquee. Yes, she has been caught using drugs in the public bathrooms all around town and she’s not the only one. The question then becomes, of course, how many drugs are being done in these places? Certainly you run a high risk (pun intended) of being caught abusing drugs if you are a celebrity, but what about us ordinary folk? Are drugs swimming through the clubs as the tabloids would have us believe? Read More »

I think global warming is an issue, but I still drive my Rav4. I hate animal cruelty, but I think I have a fur SOMETHING in my closet. I bitch about politics, but I still don’t think I voted last time around.

Yet somehow, this Paris Hilton 3 day county-funded vacation really pisses me off. SO, in my attempt to be proactive about something for once, I did some searching. Below, you will find the email addresses of the LA County Board of Supervisors. You will also recognize them as new members of the Hilton Family “Fruit of the Month Club.”

I have even taken the liberty of formatting it for you, complete with semi-colons - i know…dedication! Again, not looking for the death penalty, just think fair-is-fair and little Miss Simple Life should sit in jail and not by her pool. It was drunk driving. I don’t need to rant on the statistics of drunk driving fatalities - but if I see Paris on a MADD PSA - I might go bat-shit insane.

Our dear Brit Brit has developed a new form of addiction according to recent reports: vitamin injections. In particular, B12 shots. I’m sure that you are all disappointed that I didn’t out Ms. Spears for being a heroin addict, although with the way her “comebacks” are going, I wouldn’t be surprised.

Supposedly, she has been getting these injections before shows for extra energy and now “craves” the vitamins. Really? I find that hard to believe and feel it’s just another kooky thing that Britney is doing to keep her going. Remember the Kabbalah phase?

“A source told the New York Daily News newspaper, ‘She was calling around for a doctor to give her a B-12 shot. A doctor shot her up before her show.’”

Well I can’t say that these shots worked to improve her lack luster performance, but she was magically able to party till 5 am that night and then she stripped down to her bikini in public. Thanks B12 for giving us even more Brit coverage to eat up in the media.
