Advantages: quick media fix!, you'll be in touch!!, with top trivia!!!
Disadvantages: like insects that, clean the eyes, of hippos
I'm trying not to adopt some holier-than-thou position... after all, I enjoy a good celeb scandal and pictures of birds from the telly as much as any 'bloke'. But it really isn't good for us to dwell on this vacuous eye candy for too long, just like watching too much daytime TV. It encourages a kind of mildewing of the mental faculties and sends us even further down the road of mindless consumerism.
"Ooh look at her dress!" "Ooh look at his new haircut!" How much of this can you stomach? Some people in my office run a sweepstake on how many pictures of Victoria Beckham there will be in Heat this week. She is the parton saint of glossy, celeb-obsessed tat. She wouldn't even know she's had breakfast unless there was a press release on it.
It is to be hoped that the market for this celeb worshipping frenzy experiences some kind of Wall Street Crash. And then we can turn our minds to the more important things in life, like spirituality, the environment and that.
Amen.

- 31/05/01 I buy Heat every week, and though I am totally sick of Geri's new diet and Posh's new frock (not to mention the cringe-inducing Madonna worship) I have to say you can't fault the tv listings.
Not to mention the film reviews, which can generally be relied upon to take a hype-free viewpoint.
And where else do you get to see a comparison chart of how orange all the celebs are?? |
