What is up with that?

It seems that lately there have been lots of celebrities ragging on each other in public. While I know that most of them are talentless soul suckers, and that our society has difficulty differentiating between famous people and talented famous people, I think that it is odd that artists would rag on each other.

Everyone has their own opinion, god knows I do, but the whole thing about people disparaging their peers in a public forum is distasteful and seems incredibly negative for the artistic community at large.

There are a few recent examples that come to mind, like Faye Dunaway saying Hillary Duff is not a real actress, and then Duff rebutting by saying Faye is old and unknown and ugly. Musicians do this all the time: Lily Allen hates Katy Perry, All American Rejects hate Lady Gaga, etc.

And while all this is find and good in the privacy of your own home or in your own social circle, it's a bit disconcerting that artists find it so easy to trash each other to the media. It's so petty and childish and unnecessary.

It bugs me.

Let's support each other people. This shit is hard enough as it is.
