Slog - Comments on A New Low http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/02/a_new_low_1 OK, I'm not much into celebrity news bullshit, but I don't think it's another sign of the Decadence of America--people chased after famous celebrities in ancient Athens, Imperial Rome, Renaissance Florence, Elizabethan London, Chicago in the '20s and other high times for Western culture.

How about the hair? Any pix?

Where are the damned pix?
