I hate gossip magazines like OK and HELLO and stupid Heat magazine. They are crammed full with lies about celebrities who don't need any extra stress/pressure put on them.
They just seem to delve into peoples lives and try and dig up every single scrap of anything bad that they might have done or been involved in. It's not fair, and it's not necessary!
People seem to think that because it's in a paper or magazine it must be true, because it's not in a book but that's not right.
The cheap, crappy red-top papers like the SUN are just as bad as gossip magazines sometimes.
And now on BBCThree is the programme, "Most Annoying People 2008". This isn't necessary, we don't NEED this stupid show. It's not informative, it's not nice, and it's nasty and hurtful. All it is, is a group of low level celebrities bitching about other celebrities, it's just stupid and childish like school yard bullying standard.
How would they feel if they found out that people hated them for apparently being "annoying", people who they don't know, have never met and have never done anything to them were bitching about them. It's just so STUPID.
I think people need to stop gossiping about troubled musicians as well, it's the pressure put on them from being famous and in high demand to make appearances and play gigs all the time. They turn to drugs and alcohol to try and keep up the pace or to cope with the stress.
Bitching about them in gossip magazines saying, "Junkie", "Waster" and calling them, "Useless" and "A Waste Of Space" isn't going to make them feel good about themselves. It's like someone coming up to you and shouting, " What is the point in you? You may as well be dead! You're scum of the Earth, go and rot!" How would you feel? Not good, pretty upset and depressed about it. So they turn to the drugs and alcohol to help them cope, and are the bitched about more and it's a vicious circle.
I think nasty, spiteful and jealous people read gossip magazines to get a kick from seeing someone in trouble and kicking them when they're already down.
But because they think they're famous, they seem to think it's acceptable. They wouldn't dream of saying it to a "normal" person. Celebrities are people, they have feelings.
And gossip magazines are horrid!
They should be banned, or a law should be passed to control what is written in them. Lies shouldn't be published as fact. It's decieving and lays down a false perception of a celebrity who has never done anything to the reader.
Yes, a bit of a rant. But I'm annoyed, it's ridiculous. The sad people who need a gossip magazine to make them feel good about themselves need to grow up and get a life rather than drooling gleefully over someone elses downfall.
