Celebrity gossip

I will admit that I do enjoy a good flip through of People Magazine now and again. I will also admit to actually reading People Magazine while on lunch breaks "back in the day." Over the past 6-9 months, however, I don't tend to pay much attention to celebrity gossip. I do hear some, as people are prone to talking about it. I also usually have an opinion, regardless if I know anything about it. (That is just my nature though) All that being said, when a household lacks cable television, as ours does, weekend options for watching are pretty slim pickings. Celebrity gossip or "news" is usually what I default to. Tonight I happened to turn on the TV guide channel or perhaps Access Hollywood. The "story" they spent a fair amount of time talking about was one of the affairs of Jon from Jon and Kate plus 8. This girlfriend Kate somebody was appealing to all the gossip shows and magazines regarding the affair he claims didn't happen. So, ok, really I don't care. The part that makes me a little crazy is her playing the roll of the victim. "I never thought he would hurt me like this." "We were falling for each other and he broke my heart." "I gave up so much for him, and he turned out to be a liar and a cheater." Ok, here is a little lesson that I have learned by paying attention: If you are the "other woman" that means he is cheating on someone he married, exchanged vows with, had EIGHT children with and you are surprised that he is a liar and a cheater? Really? Really? The man cheating on his wife with you turned out to be less than a stand up guy? Shocking!

I think I need to find other things to watch.
