I was going to make some kind of outlandish connection between Mary Kate Olsen’s childhood addiction to coffee and her edgy disconcerting strangeness…then I remembered that Shakira has also been a big coffee consumer ever since her childhood. I like her. Maybe Colombian coffee is better for you than whatever they left on the burner off camera at the set of Full House.

Here is a serious report about kids and caffeine .

I was going to make a post about how Pepsi has bad luck as far as having celebrity spokepeople crash and burn. Michael Jackson was literally burned while doing a commercial. Michael Richards is on the list too. The list of celebrity spokespersons who have worked for Pepsi is so long that I don’t honestly think they are doing that bad as far as controversies go. They’ve had everyone from the Osmonds to the Osbournes. Bob Dole was in a Pepsi commercial.

I was going to try and start a pole asking what former Pepsi slogan best matches the recent public displays made by their spokesperson Britney Spears. This is not the place for such frivolity.

Just to be clear, everybody that types a name into a search bar isn’t a fan. Shakira doesn’t get as much as Britney Spears in large part because she is a functional, professional adult who is mostly interested in her work and in promoting causes like ending World Hunger.

Shakira actually comes in Third on Yahoo search, after 5 time champion Britney and WWE, an American wrestling show.

I wish that the media paid as much attention to stuff like this as they do to teenage attention wh***s getting into and out of cars.

Millenium Campaign

Shakira is smart and talented and beautiful. She doesn’t get much media attention because she doesn’t do desperate or stupid things in a transparent attempt to get attention.

She heads a charitable foundation that is helping thousands of children whose families have been displaced by internal conflicts. She hasn’t adopted any of them.
