Celebrities

Why is it that these days in the news it seems that more and more attention is given to celebrity activities than the real news action. I would care more about a controversy concerning my safety because a serial killer is on the loose than is Britney Spears broke up with her latest boyfriend or if Paris Hilton is feuding with Nicole Richie. I thought it was okay when they just talked about the stuff on the numberous entertainment shows, but some of these people's affairs are taking precedence over real news in the headlines. Some people can tell you the name of a celebrities pets and relatives but can't tell you a ballpark figure of the number of people killed in their own town. Maybe politicians, criminals, and other serious news subjected people need to put out an album or put out a sex tape to have people pay attention to them.
