BT - no need to apologize. It was a misunderstanding and I read it as such.
Why do we care and get sucked into the hype? I can't comment, I am as amazed as you and they are not the only offenders.
Why is Paris Hilton famous? Why does anyone care about Britney Spears and her ex-husband? It baffles the mind.
People used to be famous because they were great musicians, actors, athletes, or performed some heroic act. Now people are famous for being famous and nothing else.
