Celebreality

A celebrity is a widely-recognized or famous person who commands a lot of attention from the public and the media. If you turn on the news, stories about celebrities breaking up, going to jail, rehab.... Even main new stations focused more on Paris Hilton’s DUI more than the current events. Why would anybody want their personal life and problems to be in the spotlight like celebrities do? Celebrities evoke a high amount of curiosity about their private lives. I would be embarrassed to have my secrets exposed. I can understand the ‘glamour’ of the red carpet, but I would not want paparazzi following me around to my home and wherever I go, endangering my life and my family’s. Athletes, actors, and musicians are mainly in the spotlight, but also political figures and television reporters are also focused on. Celebrities will do anything to get their name out there- models turned actors turned singers. Some celebrities even have clothing lines- Gwen Stefani, Jessica Simpson, Kate Moss to name a few. Books, perfumes, household items are also marketed by these celebrities. Celebrities flaunt it because they think their actions will have no repercussions. They think they can use their money and influence to do whatever they want. Why is society so obsessed with celebrity's lives?
