"Who Cares?"

As I was waiting patiently in the checkout line at the grocery store I couldn't help but notice the ridiculous amount of gossip magazines. All with a different cover and different version of the same celeberity gossip. "Who's too thin?", "Who's too fat"?, "Who is sleeping with someone elses significant other", and "Who is headed to divorce court!" I mean really, who cares??? As I struggle daily with my own weight issues I guess it takes some of the sting out to know that I'm not the only one but honestly there is no way that I'm gonna spend hard earned cash just read about someone elses woes. I have come to realize that I probaly will never have the abs of Janet Jackson ( the ones she showed of on the cover issue of Vibe 2006). But as I struggle with my 20 min. workout video that I do the first 5 min (the warm up) and sit and watch the rest all the while telling my self "YOU CAN DO THIS", seeing someone elses cottage cheese thighs plastered on a national media isnt cool. I really feel for Christy Alley who lost and regained her weight very publicly, and I guessed she asked for it by making her weight loss public, but when she regained the weight the media crucified her by plastering very unfavorable pics of the woman. She is human and her atempt to win the weight war was short lived. So What? Is this news? Is this worth the $4.99 ? I say hell no! Its her problem and her business. Whatever the size of her azz, I could care less. It doesn't affect my way of living at all. I'm still just as fat as I was before seeing the tasteless cover reporting of her ups and downs. Is it really necessary to drag evey litte askpect of a celebs life through a microscope. Why aren't they entitled to live privately? Just because they are in the entertainment business does that mean that everything about them somehow has some entertinment value? Of course the magazines and shows dedicated to reporting media downfalls (much more the accomplishments) thinks that it is. I still say "who cares?" I personally could do without.
