Some unknown chef (described as a ‘celebrity’ though I’ve never heard of him) split with his partner, who I’ve also never heard of, and is now boyfriending Nicky Watson, who I have heard of, though she says she doesn’t want to be famous (hint : in that case, don’t announce to the media that you have attempted suicide, used hard drugs, had threesomes, watched pornography from a young age and forgotten to wear underwear at high-visibility outdoor events) and said partner has provided all the input for this article describing her shock and failure to understand her ex’s new relationship. She concludes the article by saying, “I don’t care. I am just getting on with my life and they can go to it.”
Um…..okay then. She doesn’t care so much there’s an entire news article about the matter and I am still wondering what is newsworthy about any of it.
Tag : How DO these people know so much?
So this one has to do with the reported relationship problems between Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis.
Although I think ‘reported’ may be a flattering adjective, if you actually read this article. There are some in-depth insights into the situation from, respectively, “A Source”, “The Insider”, and the RadarOnline website. Yes, that website so well-acquainted with the mind of Johnny Depp that they have published a photo featuring the face of Depp and Paradis’s eldest child right against the express and clear wishes of Johnny Depp. The article is full of ‘reportedly’, ‘speculation’, ‘apparently’, ‘suggests’, ‘claimed’, which means the following are all the actual facts I can glean from it.
· The couple have been together since 1998.
· They have two children together.
· Radar Online have cobbled together some story about them to put on their website.
I knew the first two and I don’t give a flying about the third, except to wonder once more where the tribe known as Sources lives. Probably right next to the Encampment of the Insiders.
And backing this up in supreme irony, not to mention fwittery, follows this gem :
Now the focus of this article is that Katy Perry has made a clear statement that unless she says it herself it is not a fact. No Sources, no Insiders. Well, OK, she Tweeted it, but you get my point.
And – wait for it – “Sources close to told TMZ the moving process is already under way and most of [Brand’s] belongings are already out of the home”. Excuse me, WHAT was the article about again?
“Friends said the singer had asked….” Etc
“Other rumours say….” Etc
Oh stuff this, my brain is starting to hurt. Let me count :
Sources : 1
Friends Say : 3
Rumours Say : 1
Reportedly : 1
Katy, it’s a brick wall.
