Ok, so I was reading one of my roommates trashy, and I say that in the nicest possible way, magazines today and I starting thinking about how horrible it must be to be famous. Just looking through the ‘faces and places’ section, which features the celebrity spotting, and it was a special on how celebrities are just like you and me. For example all the pictures were of the famous guy/girl doing normal things….in other words they were being stalked by photographers in places like the grocery store and the gas station. So, then I asked myself why would anyone want this? I know I wouldn’t, it would be annoying. Then I realized this it’s what they asked for but it’s also part of the job description these days. Another thing I though about while flipping through the magazine was why am I reading this? Why are people so obsessed with other people, only the other people are on TV and in the movies? I can’t say for sure why but I do now that my roommate is directly fueling this cycle by giving money back to the magazines who pay the photographers. Kind of weird I guess, what do you think?
