Good piece Heather and a reminder to me to be grateful for how oblivious I am to so much of what is termed "popular culture", for what seems like years I thought Paris Hilton was a building in France. Maybe it is highly developed spam filters deftly deleting any item not worthy my attention. I choose what it is I will give attention. Maybe it is having had my own some several meltdowns, blow ups,distressing public moments,other people's don't interest me or bring on bad memories. I have been aware of an excess of interest paid these "stories" and find that unfortunate. Alec Baldwin is an interesting actor, his family problems not so much. We are blessed with many striving to master some art or craft or make a difference, I doubt few do so with hopes of some day being the object of vapid gossip. I like those stories and seek them out to give my attention. Thank you
