Remember the bygone days of Hollywood, when movie stars were other-worldly, glamorous creatures who didn't pee or blow their noses?  When I read an article like this, I fervently wish for a return to old-school celebrity where stars didn't Twitter every time they had diarrhea.

Of course, there's something to be said about humanizing celebs... they are human, after all.  And we all like to share experiences just to make sure we aren't, ya know, totally weird.  But I could have gone my whole life without know that Kourtney Kardashian has tasted her own breast milk.  The fact that US Magazine considered that "newsworthy" enough to merit its own article shows just how far from the values of modesty and elegance we've strayed.  (And how "news" has lost its meaning entirely.)

Of course, the Kardashians aren't movie stars; they are famous for being famous (well, Kim is famous for a sex tape and a big butt, but let's not quibble).  That doesn't mean, however, that they can't maintain a level of decorum.  But I guess when you live your whole life on camera, the line between private and public becomes incredibly blurred.  And what should be said only behind closed doors instead becomes headline news.

Maybe I'm old fashioned in this way, but there's honesty and then there's honesty.  And some things should be kept amongst family and close friends only; it's just good manners.  Exposing all of your gross habits and bad behavior to the world doesn't feel like candor.  It feels like mental illness.  And we're all in need of a big dose of Lithium.
