«I AM A DEEPLY SUPERFICIAL PERSON»

CBS News)  Is the celebrity media machine turning women's brains to mush?

Recent studies underscore the alarming impact our celebrity-obsessed culture has on young women. A quarter, according to cable television network Oxygen Media, would rather win "America's Next Top Model" than the Nobel Peace Prize. Half would rather get hit by a bus than get fat, according to USA Today. And 51 percent, according to the Pew Research Center, say that becoming famous is their number one or number two goal in life. And a recent book called "Think: Straight Talk for Women to Stay Smart in a Dumbed-Down World" by CBS News Legal Analyst Lisa Bloom finds that, while most American women can name at least one Kardashian sister, the majority can't name a single branch of the federal government.
