One Direction? Seriously? Kill me now!

Justin Bieber....enough said.

    What I don't get is the way teenage girls react with all the screaming and fainting and crying. I know I shouldn't care but I just find it so irritating and ridiculous .

    Pretty much anything on TV.

    I turned off the television about fourteen years ago. I have been completely mystified by pop culture ever since.

    ^ This. I live in Nashville. You run into country / movie celebs all over, and to be honest, most of us "Nashvillians" could care less. But you can definitely spot the tourists.

    Unless Bieber is in town. Then all the teeny boppers lose their minds. I don't undersand the fascination.

    I'm still trying to figure out how they became celebrities?
