What's shocking about E!'s latest special is how shocking it isn't

E!, that purveyor of crap reality programming and lurid celebrity coverage (which then attempts to redeem itself by allowing Joel McHale and "The Soup" to make fun of it all), has announced its latest contribution to Western Civilization, "Celebrity Crises: 10 Most Shocking Mental Disorders," which airs Aug. 22. "Hour-long Special Takes a Look at the Mental Struggles of the Hollywood Glitterati," the press release's sub-head exults.

Except, well, none of it's all that shocking, not even close. They promise to examine one actress's self-mutilation, but the rest is ho-hum, hardly exotic and nothing particular to Hollywood: Eating disorders, depression, etc. Surely they could find more interesting neuroses. After all, this is Hollywood we're talking about.

Hey, E! Did you ever think your garish celebrity coverage might be contributing to that depression in Hollywood?
