If it weren’t for the internet, would we be so involved in celebrities lives?

Take the recent tragedy with Heath Ledger’s untimely death. Instead of waiting until the next day to find out about this via the front page of a newspaper, people knew within hours of the event. Shortly after that, the first falsehoods about Heath’s death were making their way around the internet, one that the apartment was Mary Kate Olson’s. That was found out to be incorrect, but it illustrates how quickly information moves thanks to the internet.

What about Britney? You can practically get up to the minute information on her crazy antics online, making us all more involved than we should want to be, or need to be in that train wreck. Will she go to drug rehab? Will she never see her kids again? Will she drink so much she needs alcohol rehab?

I don’t care. In that case, I wish the internet would STOP feeding her attention. To echo that whack job on YouTube, “leave Britney alone!” (And maybe she’ll go away!)
