Celebrities.

AGENDA:
Give me a break, OK. I'm so tired of actors and musicians spouting off their opinions of politics, and everything else. What they are doing is exploiting themselves, and using their platform to influence people. It's disgusting to me. Just make your movie, and play your instrument. I don't need to hear about your views from the stage or in your stupid acceptance speech at the National This-Is-My-15-Minutes-of-Fame-Award Show.

MONEY:
So Lebron James made $90 Million before he ever stepped foot on an NBA basketball court. $90 freaking Million. He is 21 years old now, never went to college, but because he can entertain the masses, he deserves a lucrative amount of money. RIDICULOUS! How much does my mom make as a teacher? She has had an impact on well over 1000 children. She teaches them how to read, talk, count, and be nice. But where is her $90 Million contract. Where are the endorsement deals? RIDICULOUS!

MARRIAGE:
Why is it just a normal thing to hear that Jennifer Anniston and Brad Pitt have divorced and that he is dating Angelina Jolie? Magazines plaster Brad and Angelina and their new life all over their covers and celebrate their new love! COME ON! What about commitment and the vows of marriage? Larry King has been married 7 times. SEVEN TIMES!!!!!! But he still draws in the big bucks and everyone pays attention to what he has to say. Why would you trust someone who can't endure a marriage? Yes, not everyday of marriage is perfect and sweet, but neither is life and we can't just escape that without sacrificing our lives. Donald Trump has been married 3 times now, and is expecting his 5th child by a third woman. BUT AMERICA LOVES HIM SO LET'S SHOW HIM SOME RESPECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Give me a break.

RELIGION:
What is the newest religion for us to jump on board with? OH...this week its Kabbalah. Last week it was scientology. What will it be next week? I have no respect for celebrities who use their place of influence to throw out their religions (Tom Cruise, I'm talking directly to you here). Let's imagine that your car runs out of gas, so instead of just putting gas in the car, you decide to run around the car and chant, or you think it would be wise to burn the car and get a new one, or maybe we should all buy neat bracelets celebrating the car's decision to "be empty." This is the crap I cannot stand about society. The true answer is right in front of your face, but because it's not cool, or accepted, you want nothing to do with it. Maybe when Jesus becomes "cool" you'll make that decision. Give me a break!

SUMMARY:
Celebrites are for entertainment purposes ONLY. You want a role model, find the man who loves his wife and promises to be with her forever. Find the man who gives his money to the needy even though he makes minimum wage. Look for the person who trusts Jesus implicitly, and NONE OTHER. That is where you'll find direction, and respect.

You mean THIS week it's Scientology (due to the whole TomKat + baby soap opera) and LAST week was Kabbalah (old news Brittany and Madonna)... get your pop culture straight DUDE. :)

(I'm overloaded with celebrity gossip since I started PT at a salon here in Lemont)

On a more human note... I'm so excited for you and Trish!!!! Congratulations!!!! :)
