COMMENTARY | Local news is reporting that following a Monday night 911 call to her home, Demi Moore has been hospitalized for exhaustion. My first thought is obvious: It must be drugs, right? But then I think, gosh, maybe these rich and famous people really think they are exhausted. OK, let us just switch for a day lady, you come live in my house, take care of my kids, hope your bills get paid and then tell me what exhausted looks like. Granted, we are supposed to have sympathy because this whole exhaustion thing is following Moore’s November announcement that she is ending her six-year marriage to Ashton Kutcher, amid reports of his infidelity. Maybe the fact that she had been trying to keep up with her 33 year old boy-toy had finally caught up to the 49-year-old. And not to mention, trying to look 20 years younger for the last 40 years must be exhausting.
Really, could it be drugs? She is so thin, but seems to me she has been thin since her cameo in “Charlie’s Angels 2″ in 2000. That is the funny thing about Hollywood, as soon as a starlet seems to be in any sort of trouble, the media loves to use words like “rail thin” and “dangerously skinny.” This is so crazy to me. Where have you people been? Hollywood stars are always anorexic looking, before, during and after break-ups, and if they are not, they just get called fat until they loose those horrible extra five pounds. I have no idea if Moore is on drugs, but I can tell you she has been skinny for a long time. OK, maybe that’s it: She isn’t exhausted, she is just starving.
I would just love to know what goes on in the heads of the Hollowood stars when they use excuses like exhaustion or stress. Do they ever consider how the “normal” people of the world are living? Do they know that there is a recession and the unemployment rates have been through an all-time high? I am not trying to claim poor me, but I am for sure not going to let her get away with the poor me attitude. I guess it is just annoying, if you are on drugs, say you are on drugs, get your stint on “Celebrity Rehab” and ride it on through to “Dancing with the Stars.” That at least lets all of us poor folk think, gosh fame really does come with a price.
