Chris Brown and Rihanna...can't they just live their lives???

So, the radios, internet, tv, etc have been totally saturated with the latest editions to the Chris Brown/Rihanna saga. My question is..."am I the only who thinks that these people should be left alone???" Seriously. Yes, it was wrong for C.B. to beat up Rihanna like that...and even then, I am basing my assumption on the picture that was leaked by the police department. However, I find fault in the way that C.B. has been attacked. I'm not saying that he was not wrong, but at the same time, he's innocent until proven guilty....

I just find it extremely sickening how people just have this fascination with what's going on in Chris and Rihanna's lives...I mean, don't people have bigger fish to fry?!?! After all, we ARE in a recession!!! People are losing jobs left and right, along with losing their houses, and their retirement funds/pensions!! However, people would prefer to stay glued to the tv to get the latest about what's going on with ol Chris and RiRi!!

I mean, I would be okay if I could easily turn on CNN or Headline News to see the least developments on President Obama's administration or how Rush Limbaugh continues to make himself look like a racist prick...however, I have a SERIOUS problem when those aforementioned channels are known for respectable new coverage are not filling their time and their news tickers with the most recent developments regarding Chris Brown!!!! Ugh!!! Who cares if he gets counseling with his pastor!!! I wish him well, but that does not affect my life. Who cares if his childhood consisted of his parents being violent toward each other!!! Yeah, that's really sad and unfortunate; I hope the counseling helps but that still doesn't affect my life. Who cares if Chris and Rihanna decided to reconcile!!! If that's what they want to do, I wish them all the luck in the world; but, again, THAT DOES NOT AFFECT MY LIFE!!!!

I guess, in the end, what I'm trying to say is that people should be able to live their lives however those choose as long as it does not infringe on the rights of others. Chris and Rihanna getting into an altercation will not help me pay my bills nor will it ensure that I do well in school. I understand that the lives of celebrities are often fascinating to look at. However, is there ever a point in time when we just say "enough is enough"???
