It was your average dull Monday here, nothing too exciting, nothing new. However, it seems that other, more glamorous (depending on your definition of glamorous) have been busy over the course of the last few days. It always amazes me that with all the good going on in the world, these are the kinds of things that make headlines.
Chris Brown keeps it classy by launching a profanity laced and vulgar "twitter war: with a female comedian that believed he should be in jail for beating his girlfriend. Really?! How does this man still have a career worth millions and fans that worship him, while thousands of upstanding citizens are just trying to make ends meet?
The kid from Two and Half Men launched a YouTube video biting the hand that feeds him by insulting the show that he's currently starring in. Don't get me wrong, I personally think that Two and Half Men is filth too, but if I was on it, I don't think I'd think it was a smart business move to insult my bosses.
Then of course, there's the less than sparkly reviews of Lifetime's biopic, Liz and Dick. Did no one see Lindsay Lohan playing an icon like Elizabeth Taylor as a bad idea before? This falls into the could have been prevented category, I suppose.
Then, we have the less bad, and more sad end of the spectrum (and just for the record, I'm OK with this making headlines because the people behind this seem to be fine, upstanding, and talented), BBC's Sherlock could be delayed here in the States until...2014. As someone who's finally caught up on this fantastic show, be still my heart! I really wish someone had warned me I'd have to wait this long. If they had, I'd have waited longer to catch up.
Let's hope for some more uplifting headlines in the coming days, because these are just depressing. The glamorous lives of "stars" are supposed to cheer us up, not worry for the state of humanity.

I luv your writing style,and your thoughts on pop culture.
I despise that people still praise a "man" aka Chris Brown,an individual that beat Rihanna to a pulp,then drove away and left her for dead.
Even more disturbing is that they are a couple again,which is sad,because Rihanna deserves so much better,but obviously suffers from
Battered Womens Syndrome.
As for Liz and Dick ? Read my first blog entry if you get a chance,I wrote my thoughts on it as well,and felt Lindsay Lohan basically was not "acting",was just getting paid to party on screen for a movie.
Sad,because Dame Elizabeth Taylor was a great woman,and the movie made her out to be a
drunken diva,and Lindsay Lohan did the role major injustice,and obviously did not do her research,and was sloshed during the whole movie,disappointing,but not surprising.
Stars lead the life most of us can only dream of,the money,financial security,opportunities a plenty,it's just too bad many of them fall into the Hollywood trap,and let drugs and alcohol ruin their lives,as well as their over enflated egos.
I agree,I miss the days when reading about celebrities was more enjoyable,and gave society something to dream about,some hope.
These days,very few stars are deserving of
praise,or the life they have which seems to go unappreciated ,but a common person like you or I would do anything and be humbled to have such a life.
I just want the headlines in the news to get better,not just with Hollywood,but with us as people.
I love being entertained,but I worry about my future.
I hope and pray that one day none of us will ever have to "worry for the state of humanity".
Great article,and very well written.
Thanks for a great post,caught my eye.
Take care.
Thanks so much for reading! I'm so glad I'm not the only one that thinks this way :)
