It's pretty difficult not to be well informed about the daily exploits of Paris, Lindsay, or

Of course I am as guilty of celebrity watching as most others -- but I don't think I could ever call myself obsessed with celebrities. I resent being turned into some kind of voyeur by a Media/culture who seems to think our own lives are so boring that we crave seeing an inebriated David Hasselhoff swearing at his daughter and eating Pizza off the floor -- go figure, Hasselhoff repulses me at the best of times.
