Concerned Writer Saves World

Almost everybody loves gossip. That's why it must be hard for those people who usually buy celebrity gossip magazines and newspapers to stop buying them. But that's exactly what's going on. In these difficult economic times, people are not buying these publications like they used to. Sales are down as people obviously have determined that this is an area where they can cut back. You know the kind of publications I'm talking about. You can find them at the drug store or the supermarket right next to the other "impulse" items like gum, condoms, and Pez. Using sensational headlines, they tell the world about alien abductions, hairstyles that are scientifically proven to attract the opposite sex, and who the 20 fattest stars are. In other words, these are publications that have obviously given some people a much fuller life.

I worry about these former readers having to go on without reading the latest gossip about which teenage star escaped from rehab to be with her boyfriend who is actually the reincarnation of Paul Revere's horse. So, as a public service, I decided to publish here the kind of stories that their favorite publications will probably be publishing for the rest of this year.

Suleman."

There. That should hold you readers of rumors for the rest of the year. And maybe things will be better in 2010, and you'll be able to go back to buying the real thing. I think it will be a better year. You see, this six-year-old Nostradamus who has a birthmark on his back that looks like Oklahoma told me,... oh, never mind. You'll probably read about it yourself.
