Celebrity Families=Irritation on La Macha’s Behind.
2:22 pm By Jennifer Woodard Maderazo · Celebrities
2 Dec 2008I discovered this morning that I spend a lot of time truly irritated at celebrity news. These days, the sole function of celebrity news seems to be to make me feel paranoid about my parenting abilities.
Take, for example, the incessant reports on MSNBC about the Duggar family and their debt-free-picture-perfect-17-children-and-pregnant again selves. I firmly feel the only reason that family exists is to prove that white folks can outdo everybody on everything.
And then there’s the beyond irritating Brad Pitt:
I guess if I were awesome enough, I would have realized that my kids decide everything about my life, including who and when I will marry, not just when I can go to the bathroom in peace and how I put peanut butter and jelly on a sandwich.
I really need to stop reading celebrity news.

I understand your fustration about celebrity news it can be very addicting and time consuming. I think alot of times we do it because we are bored. It really comes down to what can you do to open doors for yourself and new opportunities. Many times it’s getting out there and networking. I believe everyone can make a difference. Check out this new website http://www.cityvida.com they are making a difference in the Chicago community. They are the first outlet I have seen online that allows lationo artist to be recognized (celebrity/local). I believe this website is the beginning to something great in our community. We need to begin applying oursleves and thinking of various ways which we can make a difference and stop reading about what others are doing around us.
