This is a f***ing unfunny headline. I am not remotely amused.
One thing that's nice about living in San Francisco is that I do my grocery shopping at a coop that has Mother Jones instead of the Enquirer and other tabloids at the checkout. Anywhere else, excepting maybe corner bodegas, halal markets and the outdoor farmers markets, food shopping = bizarre headlines about celebrities. Eat up, y'know, and don't think about where your food comes from.
Headlines like this show you what's it all about: we really want our stars to suffer terrible lows and glamorous highs, the movies aren't enough. We demand a true blood sacrifice. They sign on the dotted line, so do we, I guess. Read any book about Hollywood and see the paces we've put actors through over the years. Read the works of
Theodor Adorno. I'm suprised anyone clamors for fame. It's been almost a hundred years of gossip and intrigue. I'm still not bored of it. I like
old gossip, even.
I'm hoping for a resurgence in vaudeville and community theater, public access TV and YouTube stars, a million-billion idiots with videocameras, all to take the pressure off beautiful Angelina, who we need to be tragic, beautiful Angelina.
Get well soon, baby! I'd love to see her do a clip at cryingwhileeating.com.
