They only speak the truth!

This week, all tabloids are rejoycing. Yesterday they have finally been vindicated with the public. What started out as a slow news day (higlighting Prince William and Kate receiving 60,000 pieces of fan mail-no joke that was on people.com yesterday morning) turned into a frenzy at 10:30 PST. First, one story that they have been speculating about for the past 71 days was confirmed correct, Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from her NBA "star" husband just a 72 days after they said I do in a somewhat over the top wedding. Then just hours later, Jessica Simpson confirms that she is in fact pregnant. After postponing her wedding a few months ago (I think we all know the reason why now!) and investing in baggy clothes, the paparazzi have been all over this like a cheap white suit.

With these two "bombshells" being dropped, I admit, they have gained a little more street cred in my book. How could they not? They've been fueling the fire of these two stories and speculating some pretty major stories in celebrity history, that most of the time end up being true. For example, Leann Rimes and Eddie Cibrian's affair scandal (although those two could have tried a little harder to not be SO obvious), John Gosslin (another easy peasy one), the list goes on and on. However, there was one HUGE story that slipped past him--Arnold and his mistress. That one seemed to come out of left field. But that's a whole other can of worms that we won't get into.

But 90 percent of these stories don't just come out of thin air. It's their day (and sometimes night) job to tail these people as they go out to get their milk, eat their lunch at some super trendy hole in the wall, drive in their tricked-out Land Rover. And it's just a bonus when they find them doing something that they're not supposed to be doing. Their livlihood depends on it. And they do it for people like me who love celebrities.

After this week, I think we all will take the next celebrity who yells from the top of their lungs that the tabliods make this stuff up with a grain of salt. Next thing you know, some of their stories about aliens obducting some people will turn out to be true. They can't just make this stuff up.
