Brad Pitt And Charlize Theron Might Be Dating, And This Headline About It Is Everything That Is Wrong With Culture

Perhaps you’ve heard the rumors that Brad Pitt and Charlize Theron are dating. 

If you’re like me, your reaction to that news this weekend was something along the lines of a half-second “huh” remark, if that, and then the continuation of your life unaffected.

But naturally, since this is celebrity news, there are all sorts of people who care deeply about it, and there’s not a single big media source out there who hasn’t covered it in some way.

Some headlines are more ridiculous than others. Here’s just a small sampling.

Anyway, it’s apparently a Very Big Deal.

But there was no headline more ridiculous than the one I saw on the home page of the Daily Mail earlier this weekend.  Check this out.

She went to the spa “amid” the dating rumors, you guys.  Let’s just keep in mind that Brad Pitt is the dude Jennifer Aniston was married to before the LAST dude she was married to, and that Brad Pitt was married to a whole other woman and is now maybe possibly dating Charlize Theron.  In other words, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston being a thing is like 12 centuries ago in Hollywood years.  And the Daily Mail wants us to think Jennifer Aniston is doing ANYTHING “amid” Brad Pitt dating rumors?  Seriously?

SHE IS JUST GOING TO THE SPA.

Angelina Jolie apparently isn’t off the “amid” hook either.  Look at this headline from the International Business Times.

So apparently if you’re a woman in Hollywood, and you break up with someone, you can never do anything in your life again without it being “amid” rumors of your ex seeing someone new.

FYI.

This is why it’s better to not be famous. 🙂
