celebrities... whats the big deal?

So in my class i need to blog it up ... i was like sweet! the question asked is how has the mass media developed the concept of "celebrity"? this is how i feel about celebrities... they are just normal people that get paid way too much to entertain us... yes i do get caught up in the mix of it all... with tv shows and movies.. and what is the latest trends. but in reality the media puts all this pressure to dig into their lives for our entertainment, which i find sad, but that is the difference between them and us. i have a great life and go about my everyday with no worries about people trying to take pictures of me and find out what the latest drama in my life is about... but the media doesnt care about the fact that they want to be alone and run errands, we make life difficult for them. celebrities have to deal with keeping their life to themself, they cant go to the store or mall without fans following or pictures all up in their face.... annoying, but that is what the media does to these people... they ruin their lives, but that is also what they get when they sign up for their jobs. It is also interesting to see how the media has effected the people in the past... great example, Britney.. oh britney, we the fans of the world saw her start off as this innocent little girl... into this scandelous crazy lady trying to get back in the "hip" ways of life.... but the media surrounded her... articles, tv, and ruined her life... think of all the celebrity marriage shows on tv... most of them end it in divorce. when they just want the "normal" life with just a sweet job, the best of both worlds. I believe the media ruins people, with body image, what is cool, and whos life sucks the most in the celebrity world... another example... jennifer and Brad... the cutest couple.. they were in love.. the media got involved and changed them.. instead of an easy quite divorce, it was all over all the mags, blogs, internet, and tv.... imaging if that was you....the worst thing in your life is known to the world, and we eat that up!!! let the celebrity people free from the media??? that will never happen... money money money is all people want... they dont care about feelings and their space... we pop their personal bubble and dig into everything that we can get our hands on. i feel bad... but the media changes people... end of story.
