Welcome, my fabulous and slightly nosy readers, to the Celebrity Complaint Department — your number one stop for judgmental chuckles, unsolicited life advice, and enough sarcasm to season the entire Hollywood Walk of Fame.
This is not your usual sweet-and-sparkly gossip column. Oh no. Here, we call it like it is. We aren’t here to worship celebrities as if they’re rare mystical beings descended from Mount Instagram. We’re here to roast them — lovingly, of course — and remind ourselves that behind the private jets and “spontaneous” paparazzi photos, they are just as ridiculous as the rest of us. Maybe even more so.
Hollywood’s “Relatable” Phase Needs to End
Somewhere along the way, celebrities decided they needed to appear “down-to-earth” to keep us interested. Now every other interview is just a famous person talking about how much they “love” doing totally normal, everyday things.
“Oh, I’m just like you — I go grocery shopping!” Sure, sweetie. Except when I go grocery shopping, I’m trying to remember if milk expires in a week while pushing a wobbly cart with one squeaky wheel. When you go, you’re surrounded by bodyguards, wearing sunglasses indoors, and your assistant is FaceTiming your personal chef to check if the imported truffle oil is in stock.
It’s the same with “celebrity cooking videos.” Watching a movie star in a $5,000 outfit “casually” whisk eggs in a perfectly lit designer kitchen is not relatable — it’s performance art. And the way they always say, “I’m such a foodie!” Girl, eating three spoonfuls of caviar and a gluten-free macaron does not make you a foodie.
The Art of the Non-Apology Apology
Celebrities have turned the public apology into an Olympic sport. Every week, someone somewhere is “deeply sorry” for something, and they always manage to sound like they’re reading off a cue card while trying not to smudge their highlighter.
“My actions may have offended some people.” May have? That’s like saying, “The fire may have burned down your house.”
The best ones throw in a personal growth angle. “This experience has taught me so much about myself.” Of course it did, darling — mostly that you need to hire a better PR team before your next Instagram Live.
Pap Walks: The World’s Fakest Strolls
I love how celebrities pretend they just happen to be caught by the paparazzi looking “effortlessly chic.” No, sweetheart, you weren’t “running errands.” You were walking down Melrose Avenue in full designer gear, holding a green juice like it’s an Oscar, and pretending not to notice the camera.
And they always choose the perfect accessories. Sunglasses the size of a dinner plate? Check. Tiny dog in a handbag? Check. A “candid” laugh while on the phone? Double check. You can practically hear their publicist whispering from behind a bush: “Yes, now twirl your hair, darling, twirl it like you mean it!”
Over-Sharing on Social Media
Ah yes, the celebrity social media meltdown — my favorite genre of entertainment. There’s always that one star who wakes up and decides to live-stream a rant at 3 AM about how they’re misunderstood by the public.
Or better yet, the ones who post a vague, dramatic message like “Some people will never appreciate you until you’re gone.” No names, no context, just enough drama to send their fanbase into a conspiracy spiral.
And of course, they can’t resist oversharing. Baby announcements, couple breakups, friendship feuds — all playing out in real time on Instagram stories. Hollywood doesn’t even need tabloids anymore; the celebrities are doing all the gossiping for us.
The Met Gala: Where Fashion Goes to Cry
Once a year, celebrities gather for the Met Gala, an event where fashion designers compete to see how many objects they can attach to a human body before it collapses under the weight of irony.
Some go for high art, some go for barely-dressed, and some… well, some show up looking like they accidentally wandered in from a children’s costume party.
You’ve got actresses wearing dresses shaped like chandeliers, rappers in full medieval armor, and influencers draped in enough feathers to start their own bird sanctuary. And the best part? Everyone pretends it’s “genius.”
No, Brenda, wearing a floor-length gown made entirely out of recycled IKEA bags is not genius — it’s just going to make me think about meatballs and cheap furniture the entire night.
Celebrity Diets: A Cry for Help
Oh, the diets. If I hear one more celebrity tell me they “don’t believe in dieting” while sipping a kale juice made from 17 hand-massaged organic leaves and fairy tears, I will scream.
Apparently, eating normally is out. Now it’s all about intermittent fasting, juice cleanses, and “moon water.” Yes, moon water. That’s when you leave water out in the moonlight to “absorb its energy.” I tried it once, and the only thing it absorbed was a mosquito.
They’ll swear that they have so much more energy since they started eating nothing but steamed broccoli and quinoa dust. Fantastic, I too feel light and energized when I haven’t eaten enough to keep a toddler alive.
Award Shows: A Masterclass in Pretending to Lose Gracefully
Award season is where celebrities gather to smile politely while secretly plotting revenge against whoever stole their golden statue.
The losers always give that polite clap, the one where their teeth are clenched so tightly you could crack a walnut. “Oh my gosh, I’m SO happy for them!” No you’re not, Brenda. You were practicing your acceptance speech in the mirror last night and now you’re imagining tripping them on the way to the stage.
And the speeches? Every single one has the same ingredients: thank your parents, thank your agent, pretend you didn’t expect to win even though your outfit cost more than a car, and then drop a vague political statement that no one will remember by dessert.
Celeb Relationships: Blink and You’ll Miss Them
Celebrity romances are the speed dating version of marriage. One minute they’re “soulmates,” the next they’re issuing a joint Instagram post about how they still “love and respect each other” but need to “focus on their individual journeys.”
Translation: they fought over who gets the better private jet timeslot.
The most exhausting ones are the on-again, off-again couples. Every breakup is “the end,” every reunion is “meant to be,” and by year three, it’s basically a soap opera with better lighting.
The Press Tour Circus
When celebrities are promoting something, they will say anything to get you to watch it. They’ll claim it’s the most important role of their career, that it “changed their life,” or that the movie “will heal the world.”
Sweetheart, it’s a rom-com about a baker who falls in love with a prince. I’m not expecting it to cure climate change.
And the way they tell the same three anecdotes in every interview — like clockwork. “Oh yes, during filming there was this crazy thing that happened with a goat.” Congratulations, you’ve just made me less interested in both you and the goat.
Keep the Tea Coming
Look, I make fun of celebrities because it’s fun. They are the glitter-covered soap opera we didn’t know we needed, the slightly unhinged fairy tale that makes everyday life feel less boring.
Yes, they can be dramatic, shallow, and occasionally clueless — but without them, what would we even gossip about? The weather? Please.
So I’ll keep sipping my tea, sharpening my sarcasm, and reporting from the front lines of celebrity absurdity. Because someone has to keep these stars humble. Or at least mildly embarrassed.
