Or is it just me?
I have no idea who chat show host, Wendy Williams is, nor am I that intrested in 'former American Idol star, Diana DeGarmo, spotted flaunting her flat stomach with fiance Ace Young.
Or, swimmer, Ryan Lochte, anyone?
These all getting a top billing on the Showbiz home page.
Or am I just further behing the times than I thought and they're actually household names?

I agree with you. Most of the stories are about people I have never heard of. I have not heard of the people you mention about - apart from Ryan Lochte - but that is only due to watching the Olympics last year.
I can only assume that they are desperate to get Americans reading the site.
It's been like it for age's and they are obsessed with trash like The Kardashian's and honey boo boo just lately it is all about ' jacko's ' kids and those sodding Beckhams ,
I kinda pity people like them must be kinda lonely living for the camera and not for themselves
They certainly live up to the "Dumb American" stereotype I know that.
When the DM covered the recent hen party mini bus crash under the headline, "Hen Party Horror" several Americans commented underneath it stating that referring to women as "hens" is sexist and offensive. People kept trying to explain to them what a hen party was, and yet the comments kept on coming. They couldn't seem to grasp what a hen party was and that its not offensive at all.
Lisa Vanderpump!! Now there's a name I shall not forget in a hurry. :eek: No idea who she is, but what a name.
I know. I mean if you had a name like "Vanderpump" you'd change it wouldn't you? I would

It's funny how there's Z-listers the world over!
I wonder what the American readers make of the likes of Natalie cassidy and Chantelle etc?
:eek:
I just clicked back on the DM site and got a fundraiser advert for kids in the US!
(nowt against them, but it's deffo a sign of the site getting more US traffic!)
I read a lot of showbiz and it took a while to fathom out who this honey boo boo and her family were.
I think the show is being broadcast over here soon?
Probably all tied into advertising revenue and the DM are getting a cut to promote it?
(cynical, me? )
It's a cracking name, I think I'd keep it!
We need to find her a Wilberforce so she can double barrell!
(Bank Holiday beers are taking effect, oops)
For myself, in the olden days I had Yahoo! as my homepage, and all their Entertainment headlines were links to the DM, which is how I first became afflicted with my addiction to the Sidebar Of Shame. I'm very ashamed of myself, but I do still visit even now Yahoo no longer links to them but has its own Showbiz team.
To know who Lisa Vanderpump is (she's a Brit) you have to be addicted to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, shown on ITV2, not that I'm addicted to it or anything.....
That's a perfect title for it I would say I'm not addicted to it myself...but I do read it at least once every day, so...
