Now Britney can breathe a little easier

A recent CNN report shows that the paparazzi are now also tailing Clinton and Obama and even the entertainment magazines are featuring them on their covers instead of the latest celebrity breakdowns.

Britney and the other Hollywood celebrities can be a little relieved as their lives won’t be in the tabloids in the coming weeks as the media is concentrating on Obama’s basketball game in a university or Clinton’s speech in a pickup truck or John Mccain cuddling a baby. And the odd thing is, they sell. It seems we are more curious of how the politicians spend their days instead of Jennifer Aniston suntanning with John Mayer.

I daresay that we are becoming frighteningly smart readers. I say frighteningly smart because we now care more about important issues such as the election, how the hopefuls are coming up with ways on how to solve the high gas prices or the mortgage rates or our healthcare. But then, why do they need to be feature in celebrity magazines? What does that tell us on how these politicians will do just to get attention?
