Transitioning from Politics to Celebrity Trash

Ok, the blog is going to get less political and more fun, I promise.

Did any of you hear about P.Diddy's "Vote or Die" campaign? Well, he enlisted a bunch of celebs to help get today's youth out to vote. Apparently the celebs involved really took the message to heart.

From the New York Daily News: "The early returns from Sean Combs' mega-hyped Citizen Change campaign suggested that reality television star Paris Hilton and rapper 50 Cent - who appeared in eye-catching posters modeling Combs' "VOTE OR DIE!" T-shirts to encourage voting - didn't make it to the polls yesterday. Another star, rapper Ludacris, did mail in an absentee ballot, according to his publicist.

But Lowdown's spot check of voting records in California, New York and Georgia - where Hilton, Curtis Jackson 3rd (aka 50 Cent) and Christopher Bridges (aka Ludacris), respectively, maintain residences - indicated that the three weren't even registered, let alone exercising their constitutional right."

And that, loyal readers, is what is wrong with America.
