Celebrity Sale

For what seems like the better half of this decade, the biggest stories since Tiger Woods getting ass on the side, have centered around three people with two names, Brangelina and Jennifer Aniston. Type in the word Brangelina and see how many cot-dam hits come up, it’s amazing. I’m willing to bet the farm there are people who have made their entire fortunes and careers off a simple everyday occurrence, someone gets dumped, and two people hook up, but because they are super celebrities, it sells faster than Megan Fox’s bathwater at a stalker convention.

People are obsessed with Brangelina and Jennifer. I saw a magazine with Jennifer Aniston on the cover and dammit she looked good. They had a small picture, which had to be the worst picture of Angelina Jolie I have ever seen, and the implication was that somehow Jennifer was winning this tug-o-war battle. First off, you can’t win the battle if you lost the war. Secondly, Brad has kids with Angelina and Jennifer is a hot cougar, the math is simple. I don’t know how many times I’ve heard or read that those two were finished, only to get my hopes up that my chance with Miss Jolie and her beautiful lips was at least possible to dream about, only to be disappointed by yet another rumor. I should have known; which brings about the point about celebrities, point being, no matter what they are doing, people want to know about it, people want to talk about it, and now more than ever, people want to bet on it.

Entertainment props and odds on celebrities are a very hot item for sportsbooks these days. With all the scandal, and the ridiculous amount of information available on many celebrity lives, you can actually bet on how their near future might turn out. And thousands of people are throwing money at sportsbooks towards this end every day.
I hate to use Tiger as an example because the man has gone through enough, but, I could have bet all of this was going to happen to him when I first heard his story. And I could have bet using history as a reference, which sponsors would stick by him. For sure Nike would, they stuck beside Jordan and countless others. But knowing that all these other skirts would start tumbling out of the closet was the easiest. Where there’s smoke there’s fire, and where a man of his stature gets pinched for banging one whore, there’s usually more. Everyone knows sluts are like ruffles chips, you can’t bang just one.

I’ll admit it’s shitloads of fun to read about and bet on celebrity gossip, that’s why celebrities are celebrities, they sell. I just hope they’re getting their cut for all the fun the rest of us are having at their expense. Actually, no I don’t. And I’ll bet neither do you!
