Starry Eyed about Stars
Numerous individuals of our society do appear to be starry eyed in terms of celebrities. They need to know every little thing about them, wish to get to close them, be like them and some of us develop unhealthy obsessions with them.
Myspace is one of the on the internet gatherings that enable fans to gain a closer access to celebrities. I have a myspace page www.myspace.com/thebondbykarenmagill and that time I’m writing this I have 191 people on my friends list and approximately 25 of them are celebrities. But I know of persons that the majority of their buddies are celebrities. That might make them really feel like they are privileged but I wonder if they realize that all they’ve accomplished is join fan clubs.
The internet has opened a complete new world for the voracious public to learn about their preferred celebrity. And a entire new avenue for gossip to flourish. With the advancement in technology and the publics insatiable thirst for a growing number of information and facts (or scandal) on their idols, it really is getting incredibly tough for a star to live their lives with any sort of normalcy.
I ought to admit that I dont have a lot of sympathy for stars and their hassles with the paparazzi. A good deal of celebrities play the paparazzi then cry foul when the cameras do not go away when they want them to. And if it truly is such a harrowing encounter, quit. Move somewhere, quit making movies or CDs or whatever created you well-known, remain out of trouble and guess what? Theyll be forgotten. Itll be 1 of those things like whatever happened to? but nobody is irreplaceable. The only reason that people like Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Dorothy Stratten, James Dean etc. stay in our memories is since they died just before their time or died mysteriously and/or significantly. If a star is still alive but not doing anything, the public will just transfer their attention to a person else. Arent I a cynic?
But back to the original point. Take a moment and take a look at how quite a few celebrity gossip rags you can find on the newsstands and how quite a few celebrity news/gossip Tv shows are on every day. The public makes stars out of those reporting on the stars themselves. It’s crazy and where is going to end? Is it going to end?
Then we have stalkers. Those fans who go over the line. Those that have an obsession with their idol that is hazardous. Actress Rebecca Schaeffer was shot dead in her house by a fan that felt he knew her since he had observed her on tv. Steven Spielberg apparently spoke of fears of being killed when a “sexually obsessed” stalker attempted to break into his property. As well as the list goes on and on of weird folks doing strange and dangerous things. Sometimes it makes an individual wonder if going into show company is worth it. It really need to be a labor of adore taking into consideration what a person has to go through.
Confession time. I’ve my own obsessions. They come and go and I learn what I can about the star, collect their movies or CDs. But I would never think about stalking them or invading their privacy. I cant afford it. I’m a self-published writer so my dollars goes on promoting my work. But even if I could, why would I?
I dont feel that there is anything wrong with developing crushes on celebrities or wanting to know additional about them. So long as you keep it in control. Remember that they have lives too and so need to you. Why surround your self with memorabilia of a Tv show or a celebrity? Ive noticed cases where persons have basically had plastic surgery to look far more like their favorite star. Yuck. Get a life. Or ran up credit cards to purchase every little thing their preferred celebrity has. First of all, how much did that star get cost-Casino bonuses offering? Secondly, do not put your self into debt being some thing youre not. Locate who you who you are and be pleased there. Not to sound to corny but we all have something distinctive to provide. Celebrities are good to watch and listen to but we need to keep in mind that they are just folks. So do not location them too high on a pedestal because one day they may possibly fall off.
