All the news fit to ignore

Via The Debatable Land, this is how I like 'celeb gossip news' dealt with!

The 42 year old French Justice Minister Rachida Dati is up the duff. In typically French fashion (which always amuses me for a country with a Catholic majority), Dati has brushed aside journalist's demands for THE TRUTH, and says that she has no intention of revealing the father's identity and offers this comment that I like very much:
I have a very complicated private life, and that's where I draw the line with the press. I won't have anything to say on that subject.

Good in her, I say. Quite frankly, I'm mighty sick of hearing the press bleating on about other people's private lives as if it is meant to mean something to people. The bulk of gossip that seems to constitute 'news' these days has (or should have) little relevance to whether or not I vote for someone, go to see their movie, buy their record and so on. It's just all so boring...

I wish more people held your view, Kris. But alas! Most people LOVE to hear and spread gossip. Just read newspaper headlines and the covers of magazines and you'll know what sells. ;-)
