Do you think buying celebrity gossip magazines is just a means of making the rich richer?

And celebrities!  I hate it when rich celebrities try to guilt people into donating money.  I don't see many of them giving enough to cut into their exotic lifestyles, but they try to guilt the hard-working, laborer to part with enough money to actually cut into their means to provide a little side amusement for their family.

No.  But it tells you something about our society when publishers figure the crowds will line up to buy her book rather than the book of a writer who really has something to say.  Think of all the real writers who won't get published because resources are being devoted to Nicole Richie.

I think we're all making him rich by buying his books.  He doesn't say anything new, but he markets his product very well. We should do as he does, not as he says.  To get rich you should write books about getting rich.\n\nOne thing I remember reading in his book is to have somebody else clean your home because it makes economic sense.  It does and I'm very happy.

I once spoke to a magazine editor who told me that a picture of Princess Diana on the cover of a womans magazine always added 10% to sales regardless of what went on inside. If you want the news to cover stuff other than celebs then don't watch or buy dreck and persuade your friends to do likewise.\n\nThey don't do this stuff because they love Angelina and Brad, they do it because it makes money.

Lets see now how we define this celebrity thing.\n\nA celebrity is one who actually touches the hearts and minds of so many that he/she becomes the talk of the town, a dinner table discussion, living room topic.\n\nNot necessarily with loads of money, but yes the power that they command is influence over people.\n\nNow everything in life comes for a price (there's nothing for free -you end up paying for it one way or the other).\n\nNow this celebrity thing comes with a load of responsibilties. Once you are a celeb, forget about your personal life, there is none -you have to measure up to that level. Some people claim that they have their personal life and decisions are theirs to make -that is grossly irresponsible.\n\nYou (as celeb) make sure that you do not influence people in the wrong sense, since they (people) listen to you and take you as a role model -especially youngsters. \n\nWhat you wear, your language, your views, what you do, how you behave -it is not necessary to take on the job of a social ambassador (that they already are) but become more responsible for what they stand for and how they want people to mimic them. \n\nWhat I think every celeb, worth his/her mettle, should gear up is for the bigger load of responsibility that comes with the job. Make sure the influence is the right one and not just to stay in the news. They have the gift of making a difference to all those whom they may never ever get to know, but who will cherish their memory and sight may be for the rest of his/her life.\n\nMake the best use of this gift, make a difference that could change generations.

First of all Bill Gates is not a celebrity.  Second, Oprah is by far the richest celebrity.  And she does not rely on getting movie roles, she already has a successful show and magazine that I cannot see going out of style anytime soon.  That woman makes serious amounts of dollars, it makes me sick.  I think she should adopt a third world country =)

"Propagandists, from Shakespeare to Jacqueline Susann, have been telling the unrich that money doesn’t buy happiness. The unrich, not being immune to spasms of common sense, sometimes wonder about this." -- Anthony Haden-Guest \n\nPsychology has shown that richer people generally rank the overall quality of their lives more favorably than poorer people do. At the same time, their actual happiness seems to be motivated less by their ability to buy more than by being able to keep up with those with comparable resources in their own age group (five years older or younger), according to a new study.
