Missing the days when celebrities would get divorced and it would make the news for about a day. Now divorces seemingly never end. Though please don’t blame the media. It’s not the News that drags these things out…. it’s the celebrities. They know this is free publicity that keeps them shining in that spotlight up until the moment they say “I don’t.” Yes the media is there to cover every faked tear, every doubtful gaze, and every rumor about cheating. Though they are here because that’s where readers want them to be. CNN may be holier than TMZ but they wish they had that kind of viewership on their web-site.
A random news site called HollywoodLife (not so random if you learn who owns them) ran a synopsis of an episode of The Kardashians talking about divorce which has received 20K plus views in 2 days. That’s a lot of people begging for something to do with their lives. Or it’s a lot of people who have tough jobs and need a mental escape for 5 minutes to read about something, anything, that reminds them that they are actually fairly intelligent.
On the online posting the headline is about Khloe but the picture of the episode shows Kim Kardashian more prominently than Khloe. Maybe the folks at HollywoodLife are smarter than we give them credit for. 
And yes a perfect example of a celebrity milking their divorce is Khloe Kardashian. She is the fairest of the two evil sisters perched next to Cinderella. Though in this fairy tale Cinderella isn’t a virgin, and she has the Kim Kardashian sex tape to prove it. Khloe has been talking divorce almost as long as Lamor Odom has been playing basketball. And it may actually never ever end.
But wait – it appears our long last wishes are coming true. Khloe did file for divorce and this national nightmare may soon be behind us. Plus this means she will back on the dating scene too. Other basketball players wives must be shaking in their high-heels. Though I am very doubtful this is the last we will hear of her impending divorce. You don’t simply write a great song like “the Power of Love” and walk away from it. Your fans wouldn’t have it. You need to milk that cow until it dies from dehydration. You travel across the country singing that song and sell t-shirts, hats, and posters. Once you find something people want, you need to stick it on a hat and make sure your sisters are wearing it on TV. That’s the truth behind TV nowadays – it’s all just one giant commercial. Maybe it’s always been that, though at least it was for oil companies who everyone loves (looking at you BP).
In the end it doesn’t matter why people have become so obsessed with celebrity divorce. All we need to know is this is a new spectator sport which is drawing huge crowds. And these aren’t just anybody online with nothing to do. The people who are reading about divorces may be intellgent people you can relate to. As a case in point one commentor on the HollywoodLife.com web-site summed up the whole situation well. Here is here (or perpahs his) exact quote:
“You sicken nasty hating bullying morons delusional idiots
brainless scumbags write and talk nonsense nothing makes
sense all crap. Some of you people are mentally disturb
needs to see a psychiatrist”
Thank you Susan for that summary. We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.
