Things that only marginally matter

In case I haven't mentioned enough times, this is my last week of classes for the semester.  This means that my mind is more occupied with debits, credits, CAPM, and contracts right now than it is with thinking of original blogging topics.  However, I do like to keep the TV on while I study, and I have found that E! is the perfect background noise, particularly because it is so inane and senseless.  I learned some important things tonight (Tuesday night), and I feel the need to share.

Honey Boo Boo:

So, apparently THE Barbara Walters has named the Boo Boo child one of the most fascinating people of 2012.  Am I the only person in America who simply does not understand what the draw is with this family???  They are a straight-up redneck mess.  There is nothing special about their brand of crazy.  I say this with authority, because I'm low income, and I shop at Wal-Mart.  There.  I said it.  I shop at Wal-Mart.  Go to Southern Indiana and shop at a Wal-Mart on Sunday.  You will see rednecks who make that Boo Boo family look classy.

Taylor Swift:

T-Swift is dating that One Direction person.  I say person, because I have a hard time identifying anyone in that tight of skinny jeans as male.  I'm also assuming that she's digging him for the accent.  I mean, think about it... how many marginally attractive guys have you shamelessly flirted with just because they had a hot accent?

...Ammon, I never did that.  That's a lie.  I'll never do it again.  Probably.

The Biebs:

Supposedly, he and Selena are in luuuuuuuurve again.  Since you two are obviously still 12 years old, let me make you aware: grown-ups don't "break up" for a month, just so they can get back together and have more publicity.  They have their stalkers  friends make up horrible rumors, then sell them to tabloid writers as "inside sources".  This is a much less stressful feat to coordinate than the break-up make-up drama you just orchestrated.  Learn the rules of fame already.

The Duchess:

Technically, you blogland people broke this story for me, but it was all over E! News, and it's pretty faboo.  The Duchess is preggers.  Alyx, I would like to point out that Kate's morning sickness was so bad, she had to go to the hospital.  Let's all thank heavens that yours was not nearly that bad.

What trashy gossip can yo share with me that I've missed?  Obviously, my brain can't handle anything more extensive than all of this right now, so please help distract me from the valuation of securities, and I'll love you for evers.
