I seriously don't fucking care what celebrities are doing, unless they are donating a million dollars to the Shelly Barclay fund. Everyone seems to know what Obama had for breakfast, but have no idea what is happening in other countries.
Bono might be the only celeb I care to hear anything about since he actually, on occasion, tries to use his influence to make a difference, although I doubt his motivations are totally altruistic. I certainly think the major newscasts need more international coverage. Real domestic news is important, but it might be a good idea to know what crazies are lurking about beyond our borders as well.

We have lingered in the chambers of the sea | By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown | Till human voices wake us, and we drown. — T.S. Eliot
"... man always has to decide for himself in the darkness, that he must want beyond what he knows. ..." — Simone de Beauvoir
"As if that blind rage had washed me clean, rid me of hope; for the first time, in that night alive with signs and stars, I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world. Finding it so much like myself—so like a brother, really—I felt that I had been happy and that I was happy again." — Albert Camus, "The Stranger"
