Seconded - I can't say I worry much about these "celebrities" most of whom I have never heard of - not that I wish them ill just I have no interest in them or anyone who is "famous for being famous" . Basically you sell you soul to the devil when you sell you wedding, baby etc to "Hell(o)". On a human level you feel sorry for them - but there are many sad, inadequate unfortunate individuals who haven't had their day in the sun.
With those who are genuinely talented like Amy Winehouse there is the regret that it is going to waste but the people I feel sorry for are those who have come into the public eye for actually doing something and get mocked or ridiculed. I love "mock the week" but I felt some of its comments on Rebecca Adlington were shameful.
The girl is nineteen, has two Olympic medals, is funny, bright and blonde with a figure to die for but she apparently doesn't deserve to have a good looking boyfriend becasue she has a long nose.... gah and I can't repeat the associated insinuations here.
