Why should I care about what the "stars" do? Hell, I don't even care about what the next door neighbors do!

That's a typical California attitude. Too bad some people outside California think every time a celebrity is arrested for drunk driving that the whole state is nothing more than alcoholics and druggies.

The article points out how the strain on the LA courts already under-staffed due to budget cuts:

"Stretched to the limit by budget cuts and a rising caseload — traffic filings alone rose nearly 10 percent to 1.83 million last year — the Los Angeles County justice system has been struggling to contend with what appears to be a growing number of celebrities gone bad, done wrong, or otherwise in need of adjudication.


“The simple answer is, yes,” said Allan Parachini, a public information officer for Los Angeles County Superior Court, when asked whether the rich and famous were placing unusual strain on his institution of late."

Why should anybody but the "celebrities" be embarrassed by their behavior?
Would they be "embarrassed" if I get into to trouble?

Honestly,other than to laugh in amusement or disgust,it really makes no difference to me what anybody in Hollywood does.
Or thinks.

The fact that anyone would allow film, music or TV celebrities to define Californians is indicative of a shallow thought process, which pretty much defines certain parts of the country, come to think of it... *cough*Bible Belt*cough*

How many of these celebrities are even from here? Answer: Most are not.

Im more embarrassed by our gossipy nature that causes us to be so interested in their lives. Im also more embarrassed by the media and papparazi-how pathetic we have become in our thirst to be in people's personal business.
