Addictonology comes in many forms or so says Alessandra Stanley in her mangled metaphor marathon of the new VH-1 whorefest 'Celebrity Rehab'. That it took me a third reading to actually parse the below sentence is both a testament to my own personal addictions - celebrity, rehab, and the New York Times - and to how absolutely mangled it is.
Addicts come in many guises, but the most pernicious are substance-abuse abusers — those reckless, incorrigible souls who cannot stop bingeing on the weaknesses of the rich and semi-famous.
It is a crazy world we live in with scum like Perez Hilton pole-vaulting to the heights of micro-celebrity while the 'talent' (Britney, Lindsay) implode publicly.
