day 40

nada

there really isn't all that much to report today. the biggest story is that (shocker) salma hayek is a smoker.  the star was spotted outside neiman marcus in los angeles sucking on a cancer stick while shopping with her daughter. now, why do all these stars smoke? it's not like it's glamorous or anything - every pack has a label on it telling you you might die or that you'll have a disfigured baby.  you know you're in the public eye and you'll most likely be scrutinized, so why do it? my favorite are the closet smokers, like hayek and eva longoria parker.  if you think it's going to taint your public image, then how about you don't do it? katherine heigl is proud to be slowly killing herself, smoking up in almost every picture of her that hits the internet or the magazines - with her husband, mom, sister...anyone basically.  other stars, like leonardo dicaprio, who are all about saving the environment, should really stop, too. isn't smoking heavily just as bad as driving around a giant car or using cans and cans of hairspray? if only the cigarette boxes in america were like the ones in europe that say "you will die" or "cancer is imminent" on them, then maybe the stars would be a little more hesitant?
