I have created a new category on here purely to point out the stupid, banal and more often than not, pointless rubbish that the press come out with sometimes.

This weeks special prize goes to the Daily Mail who thought it both interesting and newsworthy to point out that Celine Dion took to the stage in Tokyo recently with hairy legs.

Now it wasn’t that Miss Dion is a particularly hairy person, far from it. It was the fact that particularly bright back-lighting made her look furry and this was apparently newsworthy.

“But despite the grooming oversight, she succeeded in wowing the crowd with a typically dazzling performance.”

I am pretty sure that her hairy legs ( and arms if you look closely ) were not her number one priority whilst earning several million bucks signing her little heart out!!!
