TABLOIDS MAKE GWEN STEFANI LOOK LIKE A RELIGIOUS FANATIC

David Pecker’s tabloids are in a religious frenzy over Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton – and her ex-husband Gavin Rossdale has been pulled into the mix. Gwen IS a good Catholic girl and she takes her kids to mass every Sunday. Blake Shelton often goes along for the ride, even though he’s not particularly religious. In Touch claimed awhile back that Blake was converting to Catholicism to please Gwen. He’s not, and she doesn’t expect him to. The National Enquirer says Gwen is appealing to the Pope to have her marriage to Gavin annulled so she can marry Blake in the church. Radar Online claimed Gavin nixed the annulment. None of it is true. In fact, Gwen and Blake are happy with their relationship as it is, and have no plans to marry, much less pester the Pope…

PLEASE, NO MORE POPE CEREMONIES!

Is anybody else annoyed by this “Pope-mania” on TV and everywhere else? MUST we have continuous news coverage of this religious event in Rome? Is the Catholic religion REALLY of general interest? It’s not as if an American would ever end up as Pope. Why do Americans need to have a blow by blow report on the Pope election? We find that whole wealthy, male dominated, and conservative church difficult to relate to in modern times. We also believe most of the newscasters interrupting shows to breathlessly report papal smoke colors etc, were really bored out of their minds. When the new Pope FINALLY appeared we were relieved and then remembered there might be all kinds of swearing-in ceremonies and parades to come…
