Celebrities Relieved Olympics Are Finally Over

Celebrities Relieved Olympics Are Finally Over

HOLLYWOOD (CAP) - Now that the 2012 London Games have finished, celebrities across the nation are breathing a sigh of relief that the days of intense news coverage of talented Olympic athletes are finally over.

"There has been a media blackout on celebrity news for the last two weeks," said style blogger Trudy Parish. "I don't even know what color Katy Perry's hair is anymore. I'm so glad the Olympics are finally done so we can get back to what really matters: pictures of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian walking down the street with lattes."

Riveted as they were by the many compelling stories of this year's Olympic athletes, many Americans did not seem to notice that they were no longer being inundated by tabloid accounts of Katie Holmes's trips to Whole Foods, or endless speculation on Lady Gaga's upcoming nail polish line.

"Listen, right now, if you haven't trained nine hours a day for four years in a tiny village in Kenya, or recovered from a horrific diving accident just in time to qualify for the Olympic finals, nobody in the press really gives a crap about you," news analyst Chet Davis told NBC's Bob Costas on day seven of the Games.

He added, "Come back in a week and maybe then we'll interview you about what an amazing experience it was filming The Odd Life Of Timothy Green."

Sources say the lack of fawning media attention during the Olympic games has left many celebrities feeling lonely and unloved.

"Last week Lindsay Lohan left [Vegas Nightclub] PURE without paying her $600 tab," an unnamed friend of the actress told CAP News. "But right then the world was too busy breathlessly following the sensational victories of [Jamaican sprinter] Usain Bolt, so nobody really noticed."

Lohan later set herself on fire outside a Prada outlet in Desert Hills, but according to bystanders, "the fire department didn't even bother to show up for several hours, let alone TMZ."

Many celebrities apparently decided that if they couldn't beat the public's massive interest in the Olymipcs, they may as well join it, sending tweets to favored athletes and chasing down reporters so they could discuss their own reactions to watching the Games unfold.

"Seeing [Paralymic athlete Oscar] Pistorius race in the Olympic semifinals was almost as exciting as the fact that my new album is dropping soon," singer Taylor Swift told an NBC News reporter last week, as he backed away slowly.

Although some celebrities are left worrying that their ranks may be permanently joined by such rising Olympic stars as gymnast Gabby Douglas and swimming phenomenon Missy Franklin, history has shown that the excitement and interest generated by Olympic athletes tends to be relatively short-lived, based as it is on actual achievements, rather than pure egoism, which is much more sustainable in the long term.

Parental advisory groups are up in arms over the naming of the new One Direction sports drink, simply called OD. "Other than their obvious lack of originality, it's the slogan we don't like," said Mothers Against Everything. "Have You OD'ed Today? isn't exactly the message we should be sending children." «» The battle between Rush Limbaugh and WABC heated up as the radio station blamed low ad revenues on Rush's sobriety. "Nobody gives a crap about his politics anymore," said a source. "What they want to hear is the crazy-ass shit he says when he's all hopped up on prescription drugs." «» Celebrity drunk Mel Gibson has come to the defense of Reese Witherspoon after the actress was charged with disorderly conduct during her husband's DUI stop. "That dyke didn't even use a single racial epithet," Gibson noted. "So the Jew media had better just leave that Episcopalian bimbo the hell alone!" «» Singer Carrie Underwood is facing vandalism charges today after digging her key into the side of a vehicle owned by Academy of Country Music chairwoman Sarah Trahern and slashing a hole in all four tires. "And maybe next time she'll think before she picks Entertainer Of The Year," Underwood said. «» Justin Bieber continues to lash out via social networking, this time accusing the media of fabricating stories about him taking a trip to rehab. "That Selena Gomez breakup must have hit him really hard," said gossip columnist Perez Hilton. "Because he clearly needs to get laid in a bad way." «» Police in Nicasio, Calif. have arrested actor Billy Dee Williams on charges of trespassing after he was caught banging on the door of Skywalker Ranch, demanding that George Lucas include him in the newest Star Wars movie. He threatened to "go Boba Fett on your ass, George!" if he wasn't. «» With the White House under fire from numerous directions, press secretary Jay Carney dropped his usual demeanor to tell reporters to "fucking back the fuck off" and that he was "sick of answering dumb-ass questions." He then threatened to have the IRS "personally audit every single one of you fucks." «» Researchers at Johns Hopkins University say they have isolated the hormone Honkytonkin, found predominantly in white males from Southern states. The protein is one of a new group of complex redneck carbohydrates similar genetically to white trash peptides and has the same molecular structure as cheap beer. «» Disney has crowned its newest official princess, a somewhat short and stocky stringy-haired character named Frumpy Fran. "The life and accomplishments of all the other princesses are way too unachievable for little girls," said a spokesperson. "Fran is basically the princess from the projects, which more girls can relate to." «» U.S. logging industry officials say these days, loggers are chopping down trees "just because" it's all they know how to do. "With the ailing housing market, dying newspaper industry and paperless billing, people aren't using as many trees," said one contractor. "Maybe some day people will need more fence posts." «»
