I like to see about new films and music, but not the tabloidesque coverage of people's private lives. That seems like all these programs are any more.

2. Me neither!
They are almost as bad as these "news" programs that only cover the flavor of the day, ie. Jon Benet, Chandra Levy, OJ, Monica, MJ, Elian Gonzales, Natalee Holloway, etc.

I don't mind these type of stories being covered, but does it have to be the whole news story, every day for months?

3. they are so annoying
I really think it is sad to follow celebrities around all the time like that. Oh so Justin Timberlake look cross-eyed at a photographer, and in other news Brad Pitt had a pimple removed from his ass....

And, guess who's going to be in the next big action flick.......Julia Roberts!

Psh, it gets so weird after about 3 minutes it creeps me out. I don't like stuff like that at all.

5. Yeah. I get aggravated because I do like to hear about new films
But they are certainly not the place to hear about them. I will look online.

7. It's like these supermarket rags
made for TV. All they need now is little space aliens bringing us a cure for cancer and we're all set. ;-)

10. I don't give a rat's ass which celebrity is sleeping with whom...
There is always something else on another channel, or else the tv goes off!
I have no idea who keeps this drivel on the air since I don't know who watches this crap.

11. Absolutely abhor those shows! Oddly--
when I was a teen, I was really into ET. Strange that only years later I would come to my senses and see what a waste they are.
