Yes, you’re guilty of it. You walk past the glossy covers of magazines splashed with newly engaged Hollywood Couples and you declare to your friend “it’ll never last”. Most of them probably won’t. So it’s really great when we see couples who are still together and trying to make it to forever, right? So why am I seeing so much hate for those going the distance?
Here’s some examples of when we should be CELEBRATING not HATING…
Kim and Kanye
Kim and Kanye are both rich. They both love fashion, and they both love attention. Now, they both love each other. It’s great! What exactly is wrong with the ‘Kimye’ Vogue cover? NOTHING! Ok, it’s a bit gross, but they’re IN LOVE and being a bit gross together. It’s a beautiful thing. So lets embrace it. If you can’t, take comfort in the fact that North West peed on Kanye during the photo shoot.
Beyonce and Jay Z
A married couple write a song together. Not a soppy love song but a ‘banging’ tune about ‘banging’ each other all night then waking up in the kitchen wondering “how the hell did this sh*t happen.” When they performed this banging tune at the Grammy it stole the show, with Mr. and Mrs. Carter gyrating and flirting all over the place. Some called it “pornographic”, others declared it “anti-feminist.” Silence! It was a married couple stating that they are ‘drunk in love’, and they don’t care who knows it! I sure as hell hope my husband still thinks I’m the hottest bitch in town after marriage and babies. Being a strong woman with a strong relationship is feminism at it’s best. After over a decade together Jay Z still fancies Beyonce so much that he “slid her panties right to the side, ain’t got the time to take drawers off”. Ain’t love grand?
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith
These two have been married for sixteen years, and they’re still going strong. They’re still one of the coolest couples ever and have produced two very cool and talented kids, and their kids are named Jaden and Willow. It’s so cute, it kills me. The Smiths have the perfect little Hollywood family. So what do the media do? Declare they have an open marriage and a whole bunch of ridiculous rumors. Maybe they do, maybe they don’t. Who gives a fuck? They’re rich, they’re handsome and they’re still together! Let’s give them the credit they deserve.
Michelle and Barack Obama
Oh for god’s sake. These two have survived two kids and a political campaign that ended up with hubby becoming president. Twenty one years later and they’re still the best couple. They even sent each other (and several million followers) Valentines tweets. What more do you need? Instead of praising this amazing union, apparently the National Enquirer needs to expose rumors that Barack is banging Beyonce. Come on now! She’s busy being crazy in love and banging her own husband and riding him like a ‘surfbort’!
So in conclusion let’s all shut the fuck up and celebrate Happily Ever After. Or if you’re that cynical at least happily enjoy it while it lasts…
