Some days, I honestly don’t know how we ever got along without celebrity bloggers weighing in on the news of the day. The latest celeb-turned-citizen-journalist? Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher, who reports from the Caracas airport about swine flu paranoia.

Yahoo! quotes from the rocker’s blog:

“It’s all got a bit mad over here. This swine flu malarky is freaking people out. Landed at Crack’a**e airport yesterday. All the ground staff are wearing those little white face masks! ALL OF THEM. It was like something out of a Stephen King novel. I suddenly feel quite naked without one.

“Then if that wasn’t bad enough my mam called me at that very moment and tells me to be ‘careful’ or I WILL die of pig flu. I swear at that point I did a massive sneeze and the entire airport fell silent and started to stare!! I WANT A MASK!!!”

Me too, Noel. Definitely maybe.
