As I look around twitter I noticed something today. Joel Madden (singer for the band Good Charlotte) has around 187K followers on twitter. His girlfriend Nicole Richie has more than twice that many at 428K. So to me this means that more people are interested in hearing what someone who is famous for being the daughter of someone famous has to say than someone who has built something from nothing and become successful on his own. I'm not a huge Good Charlotte fan, but I guess i just amuses me that Nicole Richie is so popular.

Paris Hilton has around 240K followers. How in the fuck are there 240,000 people out there that want to know what Paris is thinking and doing all day?
