I've got some sad news for all the celebriholics out there. What's a celebriholic you ask?
celebriholic (sell-eb-ra-hall-ick) - noun: a person who is addicted to the daily happenings in the lives of celebrities; devote followers and readers of Perez Hilton (pictured) and Us Weekly, to name but two.
You can cross PageSix.com off your list of daily Internet gossip stops because they've pulled the plug and I can't tell you how ecstatic that makes me.
Now, regardless of what their statement says, they pulled the plug because they're constantly getting their ass kicked by TMZ.com but still, one less piece of tabloid trash in the world is a victory for those of us who could care less about Britney, Paris, Nicole and the drama between Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt.
Speaking of Spencer, if I ever happen upon that douchebag in this lifetime or the next, he's getting a shot in the nuts for ruining our name. He's the most famous "Spencer" of this generation and he's making the rest of us look like tools. People hear Spencer, they think cheating dickwad and that ain't cool. We need another Spencer Tracy. I'd even settle for another Spenser for Hire.
Unfortunately, even with PageSix.com going the way of the dinosaur there are still waaaaay to many minds rotting on the celebrity gossip and nonsense that has become mainstream media fodder.
If we stop paying attention, they'll all fade into obscurity... and the world will be a better place.

One Down, Countless More to Go

The Bullshit Button
Meet The Bullshit Button.
It's purpose? To act as a symbol of my disapproval with something, anything, that you and I all know is, well, bullshit.
Someone calls Tom Cruise the Greatest Actor of his Generation. Bullshit Button.
Britney Spears claims she's a great mother. Bullshit Button.
People argue that No Country for Old Men isn't a great movie. Bullshit Button... and we're fighting.
Got it? Good.
So why introduce my latest inspirational device here at iBlog to you today of all days? Because The Observer posted a list on their website yesterday listing "The World's 50 Most Powerful Blogs" and guess who didn't crack the list?
Bullshit I tell you!
I get 30 hits a day, from two different countries and have 35 loyal supporters (or friends on Facebook who feel sorry for me) and yet I can't manage to beat out the World of Warcraft Insider blog or Stylebubble, where some chick named Susie Lau confesses about her consumerism? Complete and utter bullshit.
Maybe we need a format change here at iBlog.
Maybe instead of my musical preferences, movie reviews and the occasional social commentary I should just start tossing up pictures of celebrities with MS Paint scribblings all over them...
