I <em>do</em> think some of it is... I was going to say "worthwhile" but maybe "not completely useless" works better. For the most part, I find that just watching the "real" news headlines works just fine: I still know that Anna Nicole Smith died, or that Angelina Jolie adopted again, I'm still pop-culturally literate, but I don't need to know the details. I can still carry on a conversation about Angelina, and I know enough to stay <em>far</em> away from any conversations about Anna Nicole. One thing I find that does help, when it comes to following the celebrities I actually care about (and there are, admittedly, a few), is something like Google News. I've set up a search for... whoever... it is and plugged the RSS into my feedreader. I can scan the headlines, skip the obvious tabloid crap, and if something interesting happens, or if a real article appears, I can follow up.
