Just in it for the headline

Sometimes, there are headlines in the paper that don't have a story to go with them. These headlines are made solely for the purpose that a reporter thought of something witty. Then, the reporters just have to make up a story to go with it.

Case in point, the other day I saw a headline that blared "Marriage is a Holmes Wrecker", talking about how marriage had ruined Katie Holmes career. For some reason, the article just wasn't relevant celebrity news. Especially with everything else going on, like Lohan & Richie both facing possible jail time. Katie Holmes shouldn't have been the lead article.

The story existed solely because someone wanted to hang their headline "Holmes Wrecker" on the fridge. To this day I firmly believe that Bennifer was such a big deal, solely because they had a cute conglomerate name. Now I don't feel so bad that I'm horrible at naming my blog posts. For instance, if I'm writing about nc waterfront property the title is usually straightforward, & doesn't rhyme, & isn't a conglomeration of words or a song title. It's about the content people, not the headline. At least that's what I keep telling myself.

I often think that many paper & mag writers are just in it because someone bought them a thesaurus and told them they were clever.
