Personally, I like the show "Two and a Half Men". I think it was (and hopefully will be) a funny show. I have always enjoyed Charlie Sheen's character on the show. But Mr Sheen's slow demise is none of my business.
Just like the details of what actually happened at Tiger Wood's house Thanksgiving 2009 is none of my business. I don't care where the Hollywood stars hang out. And what the stars are wearing at the award shows shouldn't matter to anyone.
But apparently a lot of people do care. How do I know this? Because there are lots of shows like "Entertainment Tonight", "Showbiz Tonight" and whatever show that E! has with Joan and Melissa Rivers talking about fashion do's and don't's. By the way, is Joan Rivers talking fashion like me trying to teach someone to run? I'm just saying...
Apparently, butting into the private lives of star, revealing their flaws and showing the negative side of fame makes money. Why else would there be so many shows about that stuff i money wasn't being made?
So why do people watch it? It it to come as close a possible as many will ever get to seeing what it's like to be rich and famous? Is it so people can feel better about themselves by seeing those with fame and fortune mess up? I suspect that it is both of those things.
But I also think there is another reason. And it's the reason why I look forward to the Major League Baseball season and three months of Big Brother n the summer: we all need breaks from life sometimes.
Because like my Mom said, "Life is not ways easy or fair." My Mom gets smarter the older I get.
