Beyonce is having a baby! As she announced (visually rather than verbally) at the MTV Video Music Awards over the weekend. Why anyone other than her friends and family should care is beyond me.
I wish Beyonce and Jay Z all the best. Not that they need it, and certainly not from the likes of me. But while I wish them a happy and healthy birth, I can’t fathom why this is big news.
There was I thinking couples had children all the time. Babies are being popped out of wombs left, right, and center. What makes Beyonce’s any more important than any of the other sprogs?
Fame, of course. In this celebrity-obsessed culture we now find ourselves a part of, a famous personality taking a dump is bigger news than anything happening to one of us plebs. I can’t help thinking this is somehow wrong.
