When I was at Walgreen's waiting for the flu shot, I saw a display of tabloids and a rack of People magazines, and helped myself to one to look at one while I waited. Who was on the cover of People magazinein a bikini? Kate Gosselin. Gag, retch, and phew.

What is her claim to "fame?" She has eight children, twins, followed by sextuplets. She and her husband Jon had a reality show with the kids, then got divorced. I hope he beat the hell out of her before he left her. She is the most annoying, media obsessed person I have ever seen or heard of. She treated Jon like dirt and talked to him like he was a peon, a servant, and she was Queen Kate.

So they got divorced and he sued TLC to make them stop filming his kids. Kate freely admits the money she gets from TLC pays her bills, so she sued to allow TLC to keep filming her and the kids. The kids be damned is her attitude--it's the Kate show and she loves loves being the center of attention. She is disgusting. She's had a breast enlargements and other cosmetic procedures and acts like a hootchie mama. She won't let go of her 15 minutes of fame--now in a bikini on People, next thing you know she'll be in Playboy. She showed up at the Emmy's--without an invitation

When it turned out her part Korean oriental looking kids (husband Jon is half Korean) weren't math geniuses or musical savants, just ordinary nappy headed kids, she lost interest in them and stays on the road doing this and that. Anything to keep from staying home and raising those poor kids.

Then on my venerable NPR, NPR mind you--I heard them reporting about Paris Hilton getting arrested again for drug possession, and Lindsay Lohan back to jail for drug charges--again. Who gives a sh*t about these two airheads who are famous for being druggies and nothing else? I'm sick and tired of breathless news about hussey's, floozies, and hootchie mama's.
