Trash Picker: (Noun) Someone who goes through the garbage looking for personal gain.

Some crazy person actually went through Mary-Louise Parker's garbage outside of her NYC apartment building and sent a letter with their findings to Page Six. And being the beacons of journalism that they are, Page Six reported the "evidence" in their entirety. Nice.

An anonymous letter was sent to Page Six from someone who claims to have sifted through the actress' refuse and included photocopies of Parker's drug prescription receipts from Bigelow Pharmacy on Sixth Avenue.

They show that last year she shelled out a $20 insurance co-payment for a supply of 30 tablets of a medication that's commonly used to treat low-thyroid function and prevent goiters. It was prescribed by a Manhattan internist. (Source)

Now, before any other psychopaths out there get any funny ideas about the glamorous world of celebrity trash picking and the ensuing glory which comes with it, let me just say this. Going through celebrity trash isn't about fame or money. It's about a very private and special moment between a person and the garbage of somebody who they worship. Like when I go through David Duchovny's trash, that is between me and David Duchovny's trash. I hate to say it, but if your main goal is just to get printed in a publication, you're probably rooting through celebrity trash for the wrong reasons. For shame.
