Are you tired of all the hype about celebs?
|
I guess the fascination with the rich and famous starts when you're young. Teen idols. I don't think that persona is the one that stays with us, but I still find myself reading the headlines at the grocery checkout stand: DEMI FINDS A NEW GUY, DEREK'S DATING CRITERIA, KATIE COURIC ENDS LOVE AFFAIR WITH YOUNGER GUY, etc.
My Atlanta cousins were rich. Not famous, but rich. Whenever my mother took us to Georgia I dreamed of what it would be like to live like they did, instead of doing farm chores and having one ordinary car that the whole family used. In a way my cousins were celebs.
In a way, I feel sorry for the rich and famous celebrities. They may have lots of cash, fancy cars and clothes but they have no life. No privacy. Yuck. They can't run out for a burger or dash to the store for milk without cameras and/or fans. I know I don't want that kind of life. And, as much as I now get that I don't want it, I do read the headlines...as much as I am SO tired of all the attention.
If I stop reading the headlines at the checkout, will that change things? I doubt it.
