Whenever I am feeling down about life — whether it be drama between me and the boyfriend, fights between friends or conflict within the family — I turn to my favorite outlet to release some pent up frustration: celebrity gossip. While I realize it’s not exactly nice, I take great comfort in knowing that even though my boyfriend and I argue about things like how to spend our money or where we should vacation, those problems are nothing like the issues some celebrities get themselves into. While I don’t wish anything bad for any of the celebrities that I read about, I do laugh at their expense whenever they do something silly. If anything, reading my celebrity gossip reminds me that as messed up as I sometimes think my life is, I am actually pretty lucky when I come it to their lives of people who should have better lives than my own.
