The Simple-Minded Life

July 10, 2007 by Lola.

Let’s chat about those totally, like, awesome, like, social butterflies, Paris and Nicole, the latest train-wrecks in Hollyweird, because the world hasn’t quite spoken about them enough yet. It’s virtually impossible to pick which one is more deranged and confused, but hey, after a quick coin toss, Ms. Hilton landed face up. Lucky girl.

So Paris has had a, *cough* fascinating life…. besides being completely spoilt and absolutely useless, let’s delve straight into the infamous prison sentence. Instead of being a big girl about it and just doing the time she was ordered to do, and then using it to her advantage (she’s allowed), she turns into some whiney, whinging little twit who suddenly suffers various nameless psychological problems and must go home immediately! For someone who constantly deals with the public and its perception of her, she can be really brainless. 

She finally decides to be “brave” (before the crowd starts gathering outside with their pitchforks) and does her time. She never looks in a mirror (because there most likely wasn’t one), fears her food will be poisoned and finds God. Not bad for 23 days. Will Paris finally change her ways? Apparently not. One week out of prison she goes on Larry King, is suspected of lying during the whole interview and now she’s back on the LA party scene. She might consider taking up a hobby that, for once, doesn’t involve DRUGS, DRINKING AND DRIVING. D is not a lucky letter for you girl, get a clue!

Then we have the lovely Ms. Richie. Also in a wee bit o’ trouble for her alcoholic ways and thus also possibly facing some prison time, and now pregnant. There are a few reasons for this “unexpected” pregnancy circulating, the favourite of which seems to be that she planned it to stay out of prison. Well, who am I to judge, but I think this whole pregnancy trend going around is completely ridiculous.

Now I am not a traditional girl, since I don’t believe much in marriage and I’m fine with single moms. But come on, STOP HAVING BABIES!!! The world has enough inhabitants now, you can stop procreating. And stop having Accident Babies. I’m starting to think that nobody gets taught sex ed. anymore! Nicole seems to be one of these people, she’s known her boyfriend for all of five minutes and now they’re having a kid. Is that really the life she wants? Oh wait, it’s not her life that might be awful, so no, she probably doesn’t care.

These are the people we see every day. They’re not necessarily those that we look up to (because who would actually want to?), although even our “leaders”, moral and political, have their fair share of scandals… affairs, corruption, extramarital babies, drugs and alcohol abuse. But we do see them everyday, and like it or not, we seem to be following their lead. The Simple-Minded Madness has to stop!!
