Celebrity gossip...wow.

I love celebrity gossip, but even I can recognize when it's nothing more than random gossip to fill the pages of People, Us Weekly, OK or whatever magazine. Today's "Latest News!" on People.com (as of the last time I checked):

Ryan O'Neal asks Farrah Fawcett to marry him

Judy Reyes of Scrubs is expecting

Matthew McConaughey and girlfriend are expecting second child

Chris Brown given probation

Farrah Fawcett back in the hospital

Gosselin divorce papers filed

Ok, so we've got 1 marriage proposal, 1 divorce proposal, 2 babies en route, a criminal sentenced and a very famous actress on what is likely her deathbed. All legitimate celebrity news.

Then we have the last "latest news!" of the group:

Marissa Jaret Winokur TRIES to say "no" to fries

Seriously? Is it THAT slow of a news day? The "Craigslist killer" had to appear in court today, but we are talking about an actress who was on Dancing With the Stars putting down the McD's fries?

By the way, I think it's a pretty sad indication of where our country's programming is headed when they mention that Marissa has been on Dancing With the Stars and is the host of the new program "Dance Your Ass Off"...but no mention of her Tony-award-winning role in Hairspray.
