  1. So, if I buy a Chicks album, go to a Stones concert, or watch a Brad Pitt film, you guys consider that to be "celebrity worship?" I worship only ONE celebrity, and He lived long before People Magazine was first published. I agree that it's silly for people to be obsessed with celebrity. - When I see a famous person on the street, I keep walking and leave them alone. - But even more pathetic are those who concern themselves with how OTHERS react to celebrities. If I have a colleague who is head over heals for David Beckham, is that any of my business?
  2. "You done good!" Hmm, let's see! How many grammatical rules can we break in a single sentence? Alternately, you can express yourself the old-fashioned way by using proper English: You did well! You did (something that was) good! It's good to see you doing so well! You've done well! You've done very well for yourself! You've done good work/a good job/a good deed/etc. You've made me very proud! You're a big success! Wow, you really DID it! You did it! It was amazing! Everyone's talking about it, and I'm getting a woody!
