This week the ever-so-tasteful National Enquirer decided to do a spread on the “Best and Worst Reality TV Boob Jobs.” How tasteful is that topic? I think that it’s about time the media tones down its obsession with celebrities and plastic surgery. I think almost everyone knows that celebrities tend to go under the knife. There is no reason to print “then” and “now” pictures of these reality TV stars’ boobs.

It is usually pretty obvious when a celebrity has work done. There is no reason to plaster the pages of magazines with pictures of their “enhancements”. I guess this just goes to show that these tabloid magazines love exploiting the lives of celebrities and that they are running out of material to write about.

Just because they felt the need to change something about themselves it does not necessarily mean they did it to gain media attention.

I totally agree with this. I think that the media has become consumed with celebrities lives and it is becoming too much of our lives now. There are so many issues going on in our nation, and leaping into the 21st century, we now have international issues to worry about as well... not just what Britney did last night. I hope the people leaving colleges and universities that go into public relations, media and news-writing don't fall into the "celebrity lifestyle" hole that much of our media has become consumed with.
