umm, what?

I have to admit that I've been puzzled by a recurring feature in US magazine for some time now. I don't really understand their, "Stars, They're Just Like Us," section.

This always contains pics of stars doing...wait for it...normal things:


"THEY SMELL FLOWERS!"


"THEY USE CHOPSTICKS!"

Does something happen to you when you become famous that sucks all of your life skills away? I feel like this feature may be some attempt at trying to make us feel as though we're no different from celebrities, but it's ridiculous. (1) It's not a surprise that celebrities do any of the mundane things that they're photographed doing (2) Unless you make a seven figure salary, are paid to look pretty, and constantly have photographers trailing you around, celebrities ARE DIFFERENT.

To US Magazine: STOP with the nonsense.
