The Best of the Decade issue of Entertainment Weekly (on stands December 4)

From Greg Hernandez's blog

Kathy Griffin penned a funny column for Entertainment Weekly called “Celebrity Train Wrecks and Me” mentioning the likes of Paris Hilton, Sarah Palin, Jon Gosselin and Levi Johnston.

Here are some highlights:

Being a celebrity train wreck became a true cottage industry over the last 10 years. It feels like a new flock of “celebrities” just stood in front of their camera phones and told us they were famous until we believed them. I find it hard to believe that is was an accident that Paris [Hilton], Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears just happened to be flashing their crotches in 2006.

Clearly someone said, ‘Okay, you’re going to walk out of this club, holding hands like the most f—-ed up buddy system ever, and you’re going to climb up into an Escalade wearing short skirts and you’re going to get your a$$ on the cover of Newsweek.” And it worked! So now Jon Gosselin is standing on his front lawn calling to the paparazzi, ‘Please come here,” and Kate looks like the normal one.

… I don’t think I’m going to run out of material anytime soon. This might be a little premature but I just saw a picture of 3-year-old Suri Cruise in heels. I’m not saying that’s a celebrity train wreck yet. I’m just saying the train is in the station.

I remember reading this and thinking it was hilarious! Clearly, Suri is turning out a little too much like Tom
"I’m not saying that’s a celebrity train wreck yet. I’m just saying the train is in the station."
