Lifestyles of the Rich, Famous, and Crazy

What happened to the world of celebrity? I think perhaps the pressure of normal Americans like myself has made them go a little cookoo... to say the least!

So we have Mel Gibson. Wow. Didn't know you were such a jerk, Mel. In case you hadn't heard, Mel decided to verbally berate his baby-mama, and somehow a copy of his verbal attacks made it to gossip website Radar Online. To say these rants are awful is an understatement. I didn't know one person could say so many hateful things to another, followed by a request for sexual favors. Oh, Mel, I think fathering that many kids has definitely gotten to you. And for a man in his early 50s, you ain't looking so good, buddy. Maybe you should be a little kinder to people. I would get all psycho-analysis on the situation, but I don't know if I would recover from that.

Lindsay Lohan: Oh, what a hot mess you are. Dear dear dear. I find it interesting that you didn't think you'd go to jail after violating the law not just once, and not just twice, but multiple times, after numerous slaps on the wrist. There was no way Judge Marsha Revel was going to let you get away without going to jail this time (side note: well done, Judge Marsha Revel). And my favorite part about the whole thing is that Lindsay didn't realize she wouldn't get to wear make-up in jail! Oh, honey... IT'S JAIL!!! Of course you don't get make-up in JAIL! Did you know that E! News actually made a show called "Lindsay Lohan: Road to Jail"?

On a lighter note... how fun it would be to hang out at Comic-Con! The sci-fi nerd in me would love to be down in San Diego discussing theories on LOST and chatting about the latest Joss Whedon creation, perhaps getting a photo taken with some of these "crazy" celebrities. Well, I'd say the majority of these people - because they are in fact people living extraordinary lives - aren't crazy. There's that handful that make the rest look a little nuts...

Perhaps their egos got a little too big for their britches? Hate to break it to the famous folk of the world, but once you burn the candle from both ends you're in a bit of trouble. And the legal trouble, that is some stuff you cannot escape from forever. The law: it gets temporarily blinded by the fame, but sooner or later it will get you.
