Useless Information

I check out certain entertianment sites on a daily basis too see what's new in the world of TV and film. I'm mostly interested in film. As we all know I'm a nerd. Yesterday I got to see pictures of Optimus Prime from the live action transformers movie due out next July and I found out that another member of "The Daily Show" will becoming a regular on "The Office'. I don't learn anything to mind blowing. It's just something I do.

I usually check out the IMDB main page as well as IGN.com and adelphia news to get my info. What I find interesting about these pages is that they not only give me my usless information, but they love to talk about stars relationshipswith such strong conviction.

Here's what I mean. On IMDB they wrote that Jennifer Aniston has "slammed" rumours that she and Vince Vaughn are engaged. They use the word "slammed" all the time which I think is funny. Plus do you really think she "slammed" those rumours. Is she so disgusted by the thought of marrying her boyfriend Vince Vaughn that she would "Slam" rumours?

A month ago they reported that Carmen Electra "slammed" rumors that she and husband Dave Navaro were separating. They love that word. Let's rephrase that. How about "Angelina Jolie has currently closed the door very loudly at the rumours that she and Brad Pitt are having a baby". Or "Britney Spears has just dropped something very loudly at the rumour that she is pregnant with a second child". If somebody asked Britney Spears if she was going to have a second child do you really think she'd be that offended and pissed? Well maybe she would be, because she's a bitch.

Speaking of Britney Spears, IMDB also had an article about how Britney Spears can't wait to have her child because she's sick of what having two babies in 18 months does to the body. It's too bad I need to scroll past shit like that just to see what Johnny Depps next movie is or has Jack Lemmon finally returned from the grave. That's all I want to know.

It does make you wonder though. How many people in the world find out information like this and have their days ruined. Do people call their husbands or wives and say "my God, I think Nick and Jessica are getting a divorce". How many of those significant others respond with " I need to leave early" or "Oh my God are you OK?" or "we better not tell the kids right away". But then again, as soon as I find out Johhny Depp's next project it's one of the first things I bring up the next day at work.
