Two years ago, I spent nearly six months living in Rome, Italy.

While I was in Italy, there were things I loved about the country: the fact that I could walk around the Trastevere neighborhood and feel like I was walking around in an old movie, the fresh fruit that awaited me every morning when I stepped outside my flat, and the ability to immerse myself in a foreign language and culture. There were also things I hated, such as the constant transit strikes that could make getting around the city nearly impossible; the day I walked into a post office to be told they were all out of stamps for the week when it was a Monday, wasn’t a particularly good day either.

It's been nearly two years since I left Rome and while I learned an incredible amount about myself, Italy, and even the United States, the one thing I have continued to miss is the news. Yes, we have news in the U.S., but it’s not the same. The entire time I was in Italy, I don’t think I heard a single thing about Britney Spears's newest escapade, or Lindsay Lohan's newest debacle. Of course, when I came back, I was treated to almost 24/7 coverage by CNN of Anna Nicole Smith.

In Italy, if celebrities were mentioned in the news, it was because or a new movie or song, not the newest disaster in their love lives. The majority of the news was spent covering wars going on, and the Italian National Guard being sent into Naples. It was refreshing to turn on the TV and learn about a situation in Africa, or a new peace deal in the Middle East.

I’m not sure why the U.S. media has to pay so much attention to the trivial details of celebrities’ personal lives when we are fighting two wars, when Sudan, Nigeria, and Zimbabwe are falling apart, and the cease-fire in the Middle East is on the verge of breaking. Apparently, they think the American public is more interested in Plaxico Burress shooting himself in the leg and in Britney Spears's latest comeback, than in OPEC’s latest conference and the treaty on cluster bombs; at least, Burress and Spears are featured much more prominently. The sad truth is that the U.S. media does it because it sells more papers than if they covered the war in Nigeria.

I agree, but local news always overwelms the on going problems in those countries. Its not that we are not interested, its that that shit never ends. They can't talk about Africa everyday, and America can't do anything about Nigeria. And Smith OD on methadone, not sleeping pills.

She is a gold digging playboy whore, who got famous for huge tits and marrying a 80 yr old billionair. She was very strange and not worthy of her own t.v. show, but thats hollywood. As the saying goes deserve has nothing to do with it.

Honest to GOD I understand the pain that is written on her face in that picture, thank you for posting it. I have not seen this one yet.I held my 7 yr. old son the exact same way when he passed away from Meningitis,and even though she is gone now i still feel badly for what life dealt her.
