I wish Lindsay Lohan would disappear

A couple weeks ago I posted this image on my facebook mocking the LA Times for sandwiching celebrity wacktress Lindsay Lohan between the Dalai Lama and the California State Budget.

I know the California State Budget may not be the most exciting thing in the world, but can we at least keep some distance between Dalai?! (yup, we are on a first name basis, don't hate.)

I'm going to be the first to admit that I love my fair share of celebrity gossip. I frequent perezhilton.com (even though I'm more into cocoperez.com, the fashion arm of perez). I can tell you who is dating who and who has dated who in Hollywood, I'm really good at that game, try me. But I only want that information when I seek it out, not when I'm trying to get actual, legitimate news.

The press coverage that Lindsay got over her court appearances was absolutely sickening. She basically turned her strut from the car to the court room into a runway show - which worked really well since all the clothes she donned ended up selling out in a matter of hours. I expect that if I want to hear about Lindsay Lohan's court room drama, I can jump on tmz.com and get extensive live coverage. But I don't want that from CNN, the LA Times, or the evening news (wait, don't even get me started on evening news, that needs a separate blog post).

I usually know things have become too main stream when my parents start talking about them. I'm already upset that I have to stare at Lohan's spray tanned orange mug all day, the last thing I want to do is talk about her at the dinner table. But let's face it, Lohan is the best water cooler convo starter. Let's forget about that little dispute over in Libya, or you know, the fact that there is still a war in Afghanistan.

The problem is that people demand coverage of Lindsay Lohan. By clicking on that link between the Dalai Lama and the California State Budget you're basically telling the LA Times: "I want more". So, I beg you, the next time you're watching CNN and someone who gets paid entirely too much to do the shitty ass reporting they are doing starts talking about Lindsay or any other waste of space, turn off your TV. Or the next time you're on the internet looking at what you thought was a legitimate source of news, try your best not to click on that horrendous link between Dalai and Budget. Please? Take one for the team. Celebrity news awaits you around the corner at TMZ.
