Disgusted...

I'm not a reality TV junkie...I occasionally check out people.com when I'm thoroughly bored...Of course I glance at the trashy magazine covers while in line at the grocery store...Truthfully I know very little about celebrity gossip/drama...

But today, I was riveted thoroughly bored while listening to continuing ed on the web...so I opened a new window to people.com...  Every headline was about Kim Kardashian's divorce filing...for some reason this has completely revolted me...

Last week I was in a doctor's waiting room (this should come as no surprise) and the TV was tuned to an interview with Kim and Kris... and of course she was complaining about all the work she had to do to prepare for the wedding...her three Vera Wang gowns...the Wolgang Puck menu...blah blah blah...

I just THOUGHT I was disgusted then...fast forward to today when after 72 days she files for divorce...

Are the producers of her show embarrassed?  Because they must realize that while there are true problems in the world that could be helped by an influx of funds, but instead they financed this debacle?  I don't know the price tag on the wedding, or who actually picked up the tab, but I can imagine KK didn't spend much of her own money.  Is Vera Wang embarrassed that she got caught up in the hype too?  along with every other person's whose name is now tainted by association with the KK "wedding"...if you dare call it that??

I prefer not to do any actual research because I'm scared to find out that KK's following might even be stronger now...and that thought is so depressing that I can't face it...

I find comfort in the fact that my world does NOT revolve around attention grabbing, fame hungry people...but it sickens me that I'm probably in the minority...I am going to go to sleep with my (mostly) sweet little girls tonight, thankful that they don't know the likes of KK and her circus...

I couldn't agree more! I doubt anyone associated with her wedding is embarrassed because sadly there are still people that will want a Vera Wang dress, etc because KK had it. I honestly wouldn't even know who she is except that she briefly dated a Saints player. I don't know what she has done to make her so famous, but I wish she would use a little of her fame and fortune to actually help people.

Nice blog, Heatherbell. While searching for other Louisiana blogs today, I found yours. Since I'm right down the road in Dutchtown, I thought I'd just stop by and say "hello."

My thoughts EXACTLY!!! These Kardashian people are just fame monsters. I am embarassed for them. I do NOT see the appeal of any of them! I don't keep up with the celebrity stuff either, my REAL life is way more entertaining/crazy!
