There is More to Life Than Britney Spears
Or La [<em>Lindsay</em>] Lohan, or Paris Hilton.
REALLY.
Last year, almost <a href=”http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/12/28/yir.2007/index.html?eref=rss_showbiz” title=”CNN Entertainment News” target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow”>every entertainment news has been eclipsed by these three girls even CNN had to write about it</a>. Politics and entertainment. Gee, I almost feel like I’m back home!
Before you know it, Paris Hilton will be running for a congressional seat in Hilton Valley and Jessica Simpson will be appointed Secretary of Interiors. How many knew about that Jessica faux pas about mistaking the Secreatry of Interior’s job as that of an interior designer?! Oh wait, yeah we were looking for the tale of the missing panties.
Norman Mailer passed away last year. That got several write ups on the [<em>Provincetown</em>] Banner. After all, Mr. Mailer had a second home in Ptown. Natch, old guy’s probably hasn’t flashed anyone in public. But he did stab his ex-wife I heard. But that was like a gazillion ages ago compared with well-manicured pooch accessorized Ms. Hilton spending time in jail.
What other things I missed because Britney was soo in the news. The Harry Potter saga has come to an end. Oh. Oh well, I’ve never followed that craze. Next.
The Sopranos exited the small screen. Never watched that either. Gaaaaah. I’m sooo not IN THE TREND.
The writer’s strike. Oh this one is a big deal. 24 has delayed production because of it. That one I watch. Though maybe a stint in the picket lines will bring fresh ideas to the writers’ minds to make the series more believable.
Halle Berry got pregnant. Hmmnn, maybe I’m the only one who didn’t know that. Scratch.
Stephen Colbert briefly ran for presidency. Hey I’d vote for him. We should ship him back to Manila and he’ll won the elections hands down. Or maybe not. He maybe a comedian, wealthy and not bad looking. Unfortunately, he appears to possess a brain.
Seriously though, with the economy in deep trouble, politics and foreign affairs in deeper trouble, environmental catastrophes hitting left and right, turning to entertainment and fixating on the gory details of celebrity lives and misbehaviors seem to be a social trend. In the Philippines, sense of humor is never more visible than when things are going to the dogs. Mostly they are, so Filipinos are considered humorous and loves telenovelas.
We’re living in a paparazzi world. Tidbits of news pieced together to create a seeming reality.

Locking herself up and refusing to give up her youngest son after her appointed visitation hour is over, the “Oops I did It Again” and “Gimme More” singer was transported to Cedars-Sinai hospital and undergoing physical and psychological evaluation. I sincerely wish this thing would just go away, what a doozy to be in as a mom, her brain maybe half-dead but I’m sure she really loves those kids.</em>
