of our beloved stars. I can't tell you how many times I saw photos of Richie Sambora on the beach. Yes, he has certainly gained some weight. But who hasn't? If I had just 10% of his money it would take a lot of work to NOT get fat. Maybe it was the stress of separating from super hottie Heather Locklear and moving on to ultra babe Denise Richards. If I had to go through that it would be nothing but ice cream and cheeseburgers for me while I fought bouts of depression. Ha. But seriously, who really cares.

Another one that got me was recent pictures of Val Kilmer. Again, I'll admit I was a little surprised to see a guy who once squeezed into a very form fitting Batman outfit now looking a little like the catcher for a beer league softball team. And the truth is, he's not quite an A-List actor anymore so maybe he doesn't see the need to keep himself in tip top shape. But really, unless he has really screwed things up for himself, he has a lot of money. Does he really have to be ripped? Throw a suit or a sweatshirt on him and he could still do his thing on the big screen and we wouldn't know the difference. No, it would not be a good idea to compare a shirtless Val Kilmer and Richie Sambora to a shirtless Brad Pitt. But compare them to my buddy Mike and they just look like a group of guys you'd meet at a beer bust.

I could go on and on with examples of how ridiculous the media and paparazzi can be, but I think you get my drift. And I am sure you agree that most of it is a waste of time. But the only way they're gonna stop throwing this crap at us is if the public stops caring. And as long as the young girls of Hollywood are partying it up and the middle-aged actors are getting fat people are going to buy those lousy magazines. If you spot a chubby celebrity or rotund rock star, feel free to snap a photo and send it to me. I'm putting together a collage.
