Yes, I would not be telling the truth if I did not admit that I am an entertainment news addict. I am addicted to what entertainment news headlines will hit the presses. I find myself constantly logging on to certain websites just to see what is going on with the celebrities that I am fond of. Entertainment news is time consuming, as I feel that I can be making better use of my time.
Why do I even care that Chris Brown is going back to rehab, or that Miley Cyrus is smoking pot, when she should not be? It is entertainment news that makes us seem that we are connected with the stars, even though we know that what they are doing is not right, it must just be the sensationalism of it all that grabs the very fabric of us, and draws us in by the seam. We know that we should be involved in more studious things, but then that would make life boring if we just lived every day without any entertainment news.
Of course there are some entertainment news headlines that can be kept private, for instance, Michael Jackson’s former physician – the one who served jail time for man slaughter, Conrad Murray, has recently gone on record saying that he had to hold Michael Jackson’s private parts every night. That is entertainment news that we could have lived without. While his reason for releasing that information was probably to paint Michael Jackson in a bad light that is just not something that you would tell to the public. That was news which we could have done without.
My suggestion would be to let entertainment news be just what it is – entertaining. Read it, laugh, and move on. If there is a headline that you think crosses the line when it comes to entertainment news, then you should just let that headline sleep. Or comment on it, and say that this is news that could have been left private.
