Celebrities
"Bruce
Willis is having dinner with his daughter," texted my son who was
in a Chinese restaurant in New York.
"Can
you take a selfie?" we texted back. Shameful, isn't it? True story
though.
Why
this fascination with celebrities? I mean, aren't they just people? Who
cares what they eat? Who cares what perfumes they endorse? Well, apparently
a lot of people do. And these celebrities get a handsome check for saying
they really really love this hamburger. Or that their game is so much
better when they wear one of those shocking luminous green basketball
shoes. Of course people don't really believe those lies and yet they still
buy those products. Go figure!
Once
you're a celebrity, you're always a celebrity. If you were a rich man
... yada dada dada dum! People look up to you and people want to
be like you. And even when someone unearths a scandal the more interesting
you become! Amazing isn't it?
Actors complain about nosey reporters even though they knew the price
for fame and fortune was the loss of privacy. Don't they get it? Being
in the spotlight is why you get paid the big bucks, silly!
Protective
fans complain about the paparazzis yet it is the fans themselves who support
those photographers when they buy those magazines. Can anybody stop this
madness?
Let's
start a movement. Let's be the catalyst of change! Imagine a world without
any celebrities ... a world without gossip --- where everyone is just
like everybody else. Imagine ... just imagine ...
Oh,
by the way, later we found out that Bruce wasn't with his daughter but
with his wife. Ooooo ...
