Celebrities Are Just Not Like The Rest Of Us
By Lisa James
As a society, America is quite the celebrity obsessed culture.
We share an ever increasing appetite for all news and reports
related to our favorite entertainers. Magazines like In Touch
Weekly, The National Enquirer and Star Magazine have impressive
sales figures as readers fight to get their hands news about
both the personal and professional lives of those within the
entertainment community.
No matter how incidental the news, readers of celebrity tomes
such as In Touch Weekly Magazine and viewers of popular
entertainment programs such as Entertainment Tonight, readers
and viewers respectively continue to tune in. With so much
information available about the lives of our favorite stars it
is easy to believe that we know them personally. We look at
them as a friend and tend make certain allowances for sometimes
odd and even dangerous behavior. We put them up on a pedestal
and believe that they are not to be judged by the same
standards as the rest of us, sometimes with funny results.
My Mom Named Me Rainbow and My Sister Sonnet
The impending birth of an A list celebrities child can reach
epic proportions. Bidding wars often break out amongst
magazines like In Touch Weekly to publish the first pictures of
the darling newborn. We wait with baited breath to hear the name
that our favorite stars have blessed their little ones with.
Traditional names such as Sarah, Christopher or Susan will
never do. Instead we have names like Ocean, Banjo, Seven, and
Puma. Should we wait for the name Loser? I fear the celebrity
progeny will one day get even. I can see it now, the tell all
book hits the shelf listing a number of abuses starting with
the stupidest name known to creation.
Officer I Did Not Know the Speed Limit Applied to Me
In Touch Weekly and other celebrity gossip sources includes
pictures and stories of stars that have somehow broken the law.
We shake our heads when a well known movie star is in the middle
of traffic raving about aliens, or intoxicated while driving
down the highway in the wrong direction. Often the prognosis is
exhaustion from working too hard. To be fair, you would be
exhausted too if you earned millions of dollars for working
only a couple of months, traveling the globe, and had people to
see to your every wish and desire. Being a celebrity is really
hard work.
I Think You will be my First Husband
The divorce or break up of a celebrity relationship can make
media sources positively giddy. Readers alike bet on how long a
Hollywood relationship will last, or how long before the parties
involved go their separate way before the wedding takes place.
The idea that those who are creative should not have to make a
commitment to anyone or anything is for the sole purpose of
excusing celebrities for their broken marriages, fractured
families or for the complete mess they make of their personal
lives.
No what they name their children, or how much trouble they get
into it is okay. They forgive us for completely invading their
privacy while we forgive them for being eccentric.
