It’s not just the DM, the Times covers lots of celebrity rubbish too. I love the comments that a lot of the articles have underneath!

If you are talking about the DM I agree.
They also seem to have taken a liking to making more headlines to be about murders.

I have started to dislike it all so much, I have taken to taking out a subsciption to another online newspaper. As a birthday present. Did it when there was an offer on.
Goes against the grain a bit, as dont like newspapers behind paywalls. But also, even the DM now has articles I would have read, as a DM Plus or something.

It was some years ago, but I still remember a newspaper piece by some female journalist that included the line, ‘Let’s face it, we’re all obsessed with celebrities.’

Speak for yourself, dear!

Even the BBC news online and the Guardian have a load of this celebrity cr*p - I just don't read it.

I think you're referring to the Daily Mail who does tend to have endless articles about 'celebs' and especially American ones, including rappers. Just a quick glance shows articles on Katie Price's boobs, Paris Hilton's baby, Beyonce in a catsuit and Britney doing one of her silly little dances. Obviously Kanye and Bianca haven't got up yet today. It's all such trash and is so annoying, but amongst all this garbage they do have a few good articles if you search them out.

But you have really answered your own question, which is to read another paper!

I know some will say 'read a better class of newspaper' but the papers this morning may as well be renamed the Taylor Swift Diaries. I don't enjoy politics and like to read light hearted news but I'm sick of reading about the Beckhams flaunting their wealth, the Kardashians latest child, who's nepo baby is succeeding at what, etc 😠
