Catching up with Smut....

I am reading a back issue of my beloved US Weekly and am shaking my head at the frivolous lives some (most) of these people lead....I am also noting the fragility of the human life and the incessant whims these people indulge in....

The issue I am reading is dated December 21st, 2009 which means I received it in my tiny mailbox here in Phoenix on December 12th. Since the publication of this issue, there are two changes that have occurred swiftly, one meaningless and the other heartbreaking:

1. On page 31 there is a photo of Brittany Murphy at an event in Beverly Hills on December 1st. When she posed for that photo, did she know she was going to die of still unknown causes in 19 days? So sad....

2. On page 51 there is a photo of Kate Hudson and Alex Rodriguez strolling in Notting Hill, London December 1st. Their breakup was officially confirmed a week later.

That's all, I just wanted to point that out....
