It does drive me a bit insane that folk like Ms. hilton and Mr. Stewart's young son are revered and swooned over for... being born into a rich/famous house.
It shouldn't get to me, but it does for some reason. I'm not jealous- though I wouldn't mind the fancy cars, food and money (to buy more HiFi gear), but more annoyed folk view these people as heroes and role models.
I was going to puke if I heard a certain family member tell me one more time how much she loved Anna nicole smith and felt bad for her, meanwhile a family member was dying of cancer, and another is dealing with the onset of dementia.
I hope my 6 year old niece doesn't become an idolizer of folk like this.
Anyone catch "The Young sons of Hollywood"? After "Growing up Gotti", I wasn't sure if reality tv could get anymore foolish, or pander to any more uber-spoiled rich kids, than that show's new "highs"- or should we say "lows"?
Then along comes "The Young sons of Hollywood", starring Aaron Spelling's son and Rod Stewart's son (who just got busted on gun charges and assault on a man and woman, according to the press).
I didn't even know Mr. Spelling or Mr. Stewart had sons.
And I really didn't care.
But it's forced down my neck constantly in the papers, as if it were news, in the supermarket's checkout lanes, and on the telly.
Ugh.
Okay, sorry for the diatribe. But I do feel better now.
