news of the rich and ugly

[lauralh]

So Britney's put on 20 lbs and the interweb is going nuts. Either "OMFG SHE IS A TUB OF LARD NOW" or "OMFG I WISH I WERE THAT THIN." My take on it is that if I gained 20 lbs I'd freak out, but if I lost 20 lbs I'd freak out too. She doesn't seem to give a fuck.

Meanwhile the Jackson trial is filling me with gleeful schadenfreude. Not because I hate MJ or anything, but his years and years of weirdness and eccentricity* are finally being called out as a cover for pedophilia, and it's just gloriously trashy. It's the cream of the gossip. I used to actually be very very into celebrity gossip, before I had a life, and it's really much better than the real thing, because a) everyone knows who you're talking about and b) nothing you say will ever get back to them. I suppose I've got enough of a bourgeois upbringing to delight in the misfortunes of the very rich and very weird. I mean, I don't really care about Robert Downey Jr's drug habits, and Marlon Brando's wifebeating was fairly dull, but this just thrills me.

Oh my gosh...it's the first time she's ever looked hot to me. I feel so conflicted!

Is she preggers though? I can't see any other reason for marrying a hick with two kids other than being pregnant or being a hick deep down inside.

in the photos britney just looks normal to me. i dunno how anyone could define that as tub of lard.

i weigh 20 lbs more than i did last year. not really freaking out though. just have to get back in the gym. (easier said that done sometimes)

i also love reading about the jackson trial even though i rarely follow other celebrity stories (probably mostly because i don't even know who a lot of them are_

michael jackson goes on my top five list of things that creep me the hell out, along with clowns, claymation, marionettes, and spiders.

oooh, and monkeys. can't forget the creepy monkeys *violent shudder*

Normally I'm disinclined to hate on the non-ultra-skinny people as I don't have the greatest metabolism myself, but in the case of Britney (who holds a press conference to declare to the world that she's a virgin (which she probably wasn't) and then holds another press conference to demonize people who want to "pry" into her personal life), I'll make an exception. There's nothing sweeter than hating on people who don't deserve what they have.

The 20 pounds is all titties.
