Stop the Presses: Celebrities We Are Completely Sick of Hearing About

From CNN to the Enquirer, from Larry King to Barbara Walters, celebrities are in the news constantly. This is intriguing, to a point, but it often changes from intriguing to just annoying. This is particularly true when it comes to certain celebrities, celebrities that are shoved down our throats whenever our mouths are even slightly open. The following is a list of some of the celebrities who are always in the news, even when they shouldn't be.

Lindsay Lohan: Is it just me, or is Lindsay Lohan's recent arrest an attempt on her part to make sure other scandalous stars don't get anything she doesn't? I can just picture her, over a hushed conversation with her manager, saying, "Paris got to go to jail; now I want to!" But, of course, she is innocent of any wrongdoing — those drugs in her pocket weren't hers. I'm sure it's true, I know I often have cocaine in my pocket, only it's not so much cocaine as it is pocket lint.

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen: As a twin myself, it's possible that the Olsen twins make my list because I'm jealous: hell, my twin sister and I couldn't even score a Doublemint commercial, much less a billion dollar empire. Sure, they were cute when they were young and they obviously have made the right business connections, but do we really need to hear about everything they're doing? Now, do yourself a favor, and talk about my sister and me instead.

Britney Spears: I have to admit, the press coverage of her recent OK magazine interview was pretty entertaining. I particularly enjoyed the image of Britney wiping grease from fried chicken on her several thousand dollar rented dress. But, why is everything Britney does reported?  At first it was mildly interesting, now it's just kind of sad.

    You forgot Paris Hilton - if she fell off the radar, it would be okay with me

    Agreed. You forgot about Katie and Peter, but then, most people do.

    Oh good, no Paris Hilton on your list. Paris is alright by me. Conrad Hilton is thinking of cutting her off of a $60million inheritance? That is what I saw on the tube.

    Oh Paris, get it together. You did go to debutante school, you know.

    You seriously heard that she is getting cut off of her ineritance? That's awesome. My parents threaten me with that, but my inheritance is like five dollars so it's no big deal.

    We can hope. Who knows? It may be the making of her, to her good & ours. Maybe if she has it rough for real, she'll end up as another Mother Teresa?
