Are celebrity baby photos really worth the money?
Unless you don't pay attention to celebrity news, you probably saw the People magazine with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's latest children, Knox and Vivienne.
At least, People magazine is hoping you saw it — and bought the issue. They reportedly shelled out $14 million for the exclusive rights to publish the photos, and money doesn't exactly grow on trees for print media anymore.
When it comes to celebrity baby photos, is a magazine really justified in paying so much for them? The clear answer is yes, and especially for Pitt and Jolie, who are among the most famous people on the planet right now. And when two famous people have a baby (or babies), of course the public is going to be curious.
The problem with all baby photos, though, is the fact that most babies look the same — especially when they're only a few weeks old. So it's not like you could instantly tell which baby looks like Pitt or Jolie.
Who wants to bet on when Pitt and Jolie will have/adopt another kid?
Most award shows are pointless, but there isn't one less than the Teen Choice Awards. The ceremony was held Sunday, and the list of winners reads like a parody of a real awards show.
Examples: Channing Tatum won an award for his role in "Stop-Loss"; Rachel Bilson won for "Jumper"; "Step Up 2 The Streets" won in — get this — choice movie drama; Drake Bell won the male breakout award for "Superhero Movie."
Not even the Razzie awards would sink so low as to give Channing Tatum an award for anything.
Even more pathetic is the Teen Choice award itself — it's a giant surfboard. That doesn't exactly lend itself to being placed on someone's mantle.
Based on the choices at the awards, I dare not fathom the state of Hollywood in 10 years.
Marriage is being attacked by Hollywood.
Yes, again.
That's the latest finding from everyone's favorite moral watchdog group, the Parents Television Council. The group said this week that TV "seems to be actively seeking to undermine marriage by consistently painting it in a negative light."
It gets worse: TV also became recently obsessed with "outre" or bizarre behavior, including partner swapping and pedophilia.
Oh, the humanity. Won't someone think of the children?
The Parents Television Council is a far right wing Christian group that hates almost everything on TV. It will probably never occur to them that maybe they shouldn't be blaming the shows for the content but the parents for allowing their children to watch those shows in the first place.
After all, some shows are for adults, so judging them on a "family-friendly" basis is pretty dumb.
