The True Twilight Story

So, Edward and Bella are almost officially dating.

Kristen Stewart at least seems to love Robert Pattinson, whether the feelings are reciprocated is a matter for debate.

Yes, I was being somewhat sarcastic. These celebrity relationships are amusing. But what really stuns me is the coverage that they're given in the press.

I learn several valuable life lessons from the relationships between celebrities:

1) Whatever you do comes back to hit you in the back -- You do Twilight, Twilight does you. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson made what is possibly culturally the biggest romance story in others lives come to reality. Now, Others are making Bella and Edward's real lives into the greatest cultural phenomenon of romance.

2) Don't put your foot in it: In other words, if you love someone and tell it to the press, don't expect them to reciprocate.

and 3) News stories can be made out of nothing. Yes, journalists, with no concrete information whatsoever, you can build news stories that make Google News's front page. And celebrities, you'd better start doing some interesting stuff, or the news stories about you doing absolutely nothing will make the front page.

That's it for now.
