Every morning, I wake up and turn on CNN to watch the morning show “Robin and Company.” I absolutely love her and think she is completely adorable. Anyway- I get ready and catch a few major stories here and there but, this morning was a bit different. I stumbled out of bed and had a particularly bad case of morning grumpy-ness. I had no intention of waking up fully until it was a mere 5 minutes before the bus came to my apartment. Yet, my eyes shot open when I heard my favorite reporter say something about John Mayer. I sat up and heard the grim details. John Mayer and Jessica Simpson are dating. Read more about it here.

Now, I usually could care less about the latest entertainment news; who is having a baby, what designers they are wearing down the red-carpet, and who is dating who. I feel like it is pretty crappy that some people focus their entire life around what celebreties are doing. This is going too far though… I had to become one of those people for just one moment this morning. I listened and grumbled in disgust. In fact, it struck me so hard, I am writing about it now! I promise, this will most likely be the first and last time I blog about celebrity gossip.

To begin with, I must say that I believe that the wonderful John Mayer, an intelligent and moving artist, is dating a bimbo. Perhaps it is all just a front, because God knows Jessica has made an unbelievable amount of money from just being plain stupid. Yet, I still can’t believe that such a talented and expressive person such as Mr. Mayer could even think about being compatible with someone like that. It really drives a nail into the heart of all us “smart girls”. Maybe in the end, it is all about the looks, no matter how smart you are. You can have all the wit, creativity, and articulation that you want, but guys may just need something else… even the ones that are pretty smart themselves.

In the end, this is why some girls are driven to plastic surgery, depression, and other horrible things. Even the people you may respect for being so expressive and sensitive, they to, may just want the boobies. Who knows.

Pretty girls: 1, Cynical Intellect: 0

Dammit.
