I am fed up with the recent media coverage of so-called "celebrities". Why are they so fixated on their private and public lives? Why do we have to have wall to wall coverage of their activities in life or death? In my humble opinion,there are certainly more deserving stories with substance and carrying more importance. A report of some stupid starlet who has had too much alcohol and is in trouble with authorities resulting from too much drink. Or that an American female singer with absolutely no talent has been caught out lip-synching in a "comeback" concert tour. Is this really news? I suppose we have to be aware of being taken for a ride by promoters trying to sell people with absolutely no talent.
I was going to say the recent wall to wall coverage of Tiger Woods visit to Australia was quite over the top. He was paid over $3 million just to appear and in fact won the tournament. Well we now know he has come off the rails and has been found out. Again media coverage has been wall to wall with plenty of alleged mistresses lining up to say "Tiger was here"! Looks as if his celebrity statuus has spiraled downwards. He is presumably bunkered down probably with well-heeled attorneys trying to save his career and bank balance. I can't say I feel sorry for him, after all he did it himself and thought he was invincible. I feel sorry for his wife and daughter.
