Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Where would the world be without celebrities? You might complain about the modern obsession with them, the assumed interest in their most minute doings, such as going shopping or getting pregnant; but it would be a huge mistake to dismiss it all. For The Celebrity is the finest refinement yet of the ridiculousness which is such an entertaining part of the human condition.

There's the self-importance and self-obsession, matched only by everybody else's delight in their discomfiture; but the best of it is their desire to escape notice at any cost once notice has been achieved at any cost. As we report today, how splendidly the problems they keep having with public footpaths near their properties point this up. Verily, the perfect metaphor.
What they need is some remote place where they could all escape together. Actually, that might make rather a good television programme.
