Celebrities in the News: From Britney to Paris

Celebrities, celebrities, celebrities! Everywhere you look nowadays - be it television news stations, tabloid articles or even comedy schticks meant to point out the worst of a celebrity - they're definitely everywhere. In fact, there isn't a day that goes by where we don't hear about some delicious scandal a star is involved in or the next biggest whoops from a young starlet. One definite thing, however, is the sheer fact that there are quite a few stars out there in the news so much they're overkill by now. Taking this obvious fact, I gathered some of the most newsworthy celebrities over the past months that have us screaming, "Enough, Already!"

1. Britney Spears

Let's face it, Britney Spears is a confused (and often times confusing) young woman. She's also a prime target to the paparazzi as we've seen most recently with her shaved head and new body art. Like I'll mention with all the Celebrities in the news, I'll do a rundown of the most recent reasons Britney is becoming an annoying name in the news.

Every day people get married and every day people get divorced. This includes celebrities. However, someone felt Britney and Kevin's divorce was quite newsworthy for some unknown reason. Perhaps the initial source felt we had a 'need to know' basis. Perhaps they were just money hungry and knew Britney could score more reads than Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe's divorce proceedings. The main question is, "do we really care?" Sure, it's nice to know that a fairly attractive person is on the market but beyond that nobody really cares what or why a couple files for divorce.

Of course, there are so many other reasons as of late why Britney has graced various news sources, but even I, as a writer, knows when to say enough about a person. The rest, well, is her business.

2. Lindsay Lohan

What hasn't this girl done lately? Apparently nothing truly good. This girl seriously can't get into the news unless she does something wrong. When was the last time Lindsay was praised for something good she did? I can't recall a single time in the last year.
