Addicted to......

Gossip! I can't get enough of it. I'm not talking about family or office gossip, I'm talking about celebrity news. I guess people are addicted to many different things like cars, spending/buying, porn, gambling, chocolate (OK maybe a little of this one for me too), alcohol and many other things. But is my addiction really that bad? I mean, I'm not hurting my loved ones, I'm just increasing my knowledge of useless facts.

On my way into work, I structure my ride in around the gossip fix from the local radio station. Then throughout the day I check websites like People, E online, Just Jared, Entertainment Weekly and TMZ. I even check out CNN and MSNBC to see what their entertainment section has to offer (but I also check out the news too). When I am on vacation and cannot get my fix the usual way, I start to go through withdrawals and immediately have to buy all the gossip magazines I see. Then I am OK until I get home.

Its gotten to the point where my husband and father-in-law listen to the morning gossip updates and we all compare notes around the supper table. Its the strangest thing, but I love it.

Do I need help?
