Give Me A Break....

So, I'm watching TV last night while I wrapped some more Christmas presents (I know, but you will be jealous in December when I am done and you are running around in all that mess). Anyway- they were advertising the Emmy's or Golden Globes or something. It just makes me crazy when I see celebrities walking down that red carpet in their ridiculously expensive gowns and their diamonds borrowed from Harry Winston. Then they even have a show just to talk about what everyone was wearing and whether it was a "do" or a "don't". Really- who cares? People need to just wear what they like and not worry about what brand it is or how much it costs. Some people might be impressed to see a woman in a $10,000 dress- but it just tells me that she has a screw loose somewhere. Sorry- when you pay $1,000 for a purse or $500 for something like those ugly UGG boots or Jimmy Choo shoes - it makes you look stupid. My purse and my shoes do the same things they do and there is no way I would ever spend that much. All of them talk about how much they want to help the less fortunate and they have all these charity events. How much more do you think you could help with just that money you spent on that$200.00 T-shirt? Seriously- some of them could educate a third world country with what they spend on clothing for their dogs! On top of that, they are just normal people who have a different job from the rest of us. How many people would be crooning over Orlando Bloom or Ben Affleck or if they were service guys at Radio Shack or baggers for Bi-Lo? It is ridiculous how much credit these people get just because they can act. It cracks me up how all the time the news is trying to get so-and-so's opinion on political matters or what should be done about issues in our country. Please- who cares what they think? Half of them dropped out of high-school. The other half is in and out of rehab. When it comes down to it, I think anyone can look good in a $10,000 dress. Look good in a $5.00 blue-light special from K-Mart- then I might be impressed.
