Everyone has flipped on the television to see these shows on, and maybe you've even watched a few minutes of them out of sheer curiosity, I have, otherwise I guess I couldn't be discussing it.
But that is beside the point.
Why do we [Americans] hold celebrities to such high standards? When did these people become our new idols? There are shows completely devoted to finding the most obscene picture first, the most dirt we can find on them as possible. They swarm these celebrities cars, hundreds of camaras flashing.
Here's a news flash I wish they'd post on TMZ.com - Celebrities are real people too!
I'm willing to go ahead and call this what it is - an epidemic. And it's sickening. We need to leave these people alone and just let them do whatever the hell they want, just like you do the neighbor 6 houses down in your sub-division. I dare you to go stand outside his yard and take pictures of him without his consent.
It is not the fault of the thoughtless staff of these entertainment shows. It's us. It's us as Americans who have shown such strong interest that it's become what it has. If we simply put aside every aspects of these people's lives and just enjoy they're movies [their career - because lets face it, do you care what the guy in the local Mcdonalds drive-thru does on the weekends? - I thought not, and it's the same thing the celebs are doing, go figure!] If we could ever manage to do that, maybe things would change in America, but hey, don't let me interrupt your episode of TMZ...
Until Monday, Stay Classy, interweb.
