What's that look?

Oh, hey Mandy Moore, how's it going? What's that? You say you secretly married Ryan Adams on Tuesday? Wow. Yeah, that is exciting. Except...what's that look on your face? It doesn't quite look like happiness to me. It looks a wee bit like SHAME. Hmmm.

I just wonder why you decided to get married so quickly and forgo the whole big, elaborate ceremony. Oh, I know Ryan's a little shy, but "secret weddings" often signify something else entirely. Do I need to spell it out for you, Moore?! I am on to your little game here. You read my blog post and decided to prove me wrong just for spite! Well, I've got news for you. I still give it 6 months. Starting from the original post on February 11, 2009. Start counting down to August 11, Mandy.

Either that or you're pregnant.

PS. Nice scarf.

I give it 6 months. Tops.

Mandy Moore and Ryan Adams have gotten engaged, People.com reports. OK. What?! This is doomed to fail. She's dated everyone from Wilmer Valderrama to Andy Roddick to DJ AM (read: has bad taste). And he's a wackadoo rock star who may have cleaned up his image, but is not the kind of guy you want to marry. I love his music, but I've seen interviews with him and he's bonkers.

I'm going to take bets as to when this relationship ends, have your say in the comments section. My prediction: 6 months - engagement called off.

Breaking News!

This is an actual screen shot from my iGoogle page. I did not photoshop this at all.

I would say that it must be a slow news day for ET Online - Breaking News to report that Charlize Theron loves spaghetti, but it's a growing trend to think that the public really wants to know these "interesting tidbits." I don't have anything else to say other than I could honestly care less. And I even like reading celebrity news gossip! This just seems to be crossing the line.

Why Do I Care?

After spending half and hour reading about how Tori Spelling is wearing clothes that only non-pregnant women should wear, and how Mandy Moore and DJ AM split, and how Brangelina are adopting again I had to ask myself...why do I care about this?

You know how a lot of celebs say, "Don't buy the gossip magazines, you're just feeding the fire and creating reason for the paparazzi to hound us," in order to make us feel sorry for them? Well, it's not working. I think there are about 50 magazines in the groceries/bookstores/newsstands with a celebrity-gossip focus. And people are buying them like crazy!! Not just "people" like some faceless mass with a credit card. People like...me.

Yes, I am drawn to find out why Sienna Miller gave Jude Law a second chance and why Kate Moss is remotely attracted to Pete Doherty and why leggings are so popular. My question is, WHY? Why do I care what famous people are doing? What is it in me that needs to hear about who's dating who? I can't explain it and I certainly can't make it stop.

I know I'm not alone. Why do you guys care about celebs? And when did Tori Spelling become celeb-newsworthy??
