I have to ask, who, in the world that is 'celebrity', do you think is of a higher social standing. Most of them are complete no-bodies, junkies alkies adulterers, the z-listers who reduce our news papers to gutter rags. They probably dont bother wiping their butts, there no better than us, infact, probably a damn site worse. A bit like the royal family.

The people made it what it is...If people would stop idolizing over celebrities...which are normal people you know...then maybe that would all change, but until then it will all stay the same.  Tell me why actors, models, and sports players get more attention than the best surgeons, doctors and scientists is beyond me....

Do you ever watch "Celebrity Fit Club"?  I like that better. You get to see all the overweight celebrities try to lose weight while they stir up drama for themselves.  I just don't know why they'd want to go on national television in front of a gazillion people when most of them can afford personal trainers and chefs like Oprah.

IMHO you are generalizing.\n\nYes, they do want to become a celeb to get credit for the work you do, by the critics, but also by us, their public.\n\nI think it are the fans who can't leave their fav. celebs enjoy a more or less normal private life, who ruin it for the fans who know where their limits lay, know what I mean??\n\nSuppose you are a celeb, in the beginning it's fun when people pay you a lot of attention, even on the street. But then there comes a time when you can't freely walk out of your own house to do some shopping, cuz there are fans standing there, wanting your autograph.\nOkay, I would never do a thing like that, but hey, it still isn't THAT bad, so you decide to give the fans what they want : an autograph, or a quick pic with you, and then you kindly ask them  to leave you be for the rest of the day.\n\n"Good" fans know when to take a hint, and will respect your request......but the rude fans won't, and they will follow you from a distance.\nNow if a thing like that would happen to you, the celeb, day after day, hour after hour, your fans don't CARE if you ask them nicely to now leave you alone, hell no, they want you, and preferably all of you.\nNow please tell me honestly : would you not get rude at one point in time????\n\nAnd of course the rudeness by the celeb may turn on the wrong fans, the fans who DO respect his/her privacy....but hey, celebs are  human, just like you and me, and they also snap at the wrong time, to the wrong person, once in a while.

Since our society has got rid of God, we have turned these people into icons and are encouraged to worship them by the tabloids etc...It's far better to have it like that though because the media can create them, use them to sell goods by advertising with them, and destroy them, shifting loads of newspapers in the process.\n\nThey enjoy their few days of fame and languish in the spotlight, sure it gives them loads of money and attention, but look at the cost and ask yourself, \n\nWhat is it about someone that wants everyone to know them?  \n\nMaybe they are a bit lacking in the first place.

Celebrities are fascinating to people because they have talents (most of the time), good looks, and seem to lead a perfect life. wait..one more thing..sometimes it's okay to care about someone you've never met.

Agree on that... Isnt it a bit stupid to watch other people lifes when you can have so much more fun living yours...\nThese days people are obsessed with "reality" shows while not seeing the reality around them, not noiticing the lack of reality in the shows...

Because they are always in the spotlight and people pay attention to what they say and do. Same thing with celebrities.\n\nI agree with you. It isn't fair. Celebrities get too much attention.

I think that person could spend time with the celbrity and not be all uptight. Mistakes are made, unflattering pictures of me are everywhere. But if that person really likes the celebrity, maybe that person just wants to be with that celebrity. Then they should. If it felt right. But the celebrities life and their lives need to be seperate. I would go to therapy just because dating a celebrity is pretty hard work.

I strongly agree with you. People mainly dislike celebrities because of what they have accomplished and what not. I think its a shame too. I went on a yahoo message board for Beyonce one time and there are so many threads made about Beyonce. Most of them are saying bad stuff that people make up because theyre jealous. The way I see it, if you dont like a celebrity dont talk about them. If someone talks about them saying they dont care for them and stuff than they obviously feel some type of love for them since they took time out to talk about them.

I personally don't want to meet actors or actresses or musicians/singers that I admire.  I'm afraid that if I met them and they turned out to be not nice people, it would spoil my enjoyment of their work.  Every time I saw them in a movie or TV show or heard their music, I'd be thinking of them, not enjoying their work.  \n\nThat's one reason I don't get the way some people are so rabid to meet actors or actresses or musicians or whatever.  If they do work you enjoy and appreciate, why take the chance of spoiling that by meeting them?

It is VERY wrong but that is what is important in the society we live in. Many people could care less about what's going on with our country, government, communities, etc., things they could contribute to and actually change. Instead they worship these celebs and follow every move that they make. All the while these celebrities are living it up and not caring about the fans who put them in the situations they are in. Some people can name all the celebrities who've had children and are pregnant now, but if you would ask them a relevant question, like who is running for governor in their state, they would have no clue. It's really sad!!

Well it is media they bring the ridiculous antics of these people to the news and so many eat it up. they then live vicariously through someone elses life instead of their own.\n It could be simply trying to see if the grass is actually greener on the other side too.\n  But it seems people have always been obsessed with others especially those that have more, gossip mongers have been around since the beginning of time. They revel in others misery ... I could go on but enough is enough I have a life and it has nothing ever to do with celebrities. I have favorite actors and actresses but I very seldom will ever read anything about them unless they have done something IMPORTANT for others in their lives.

I despise gossip magazines.........I dont know why people would even waste their money to buy them because nearly all of the time it is filled with lies and unethical invasions of people's privacy. We should remember that celebrities are human too and so they can make mistakes like any ordinary human.
