what's your take on our celebrity-obsessed society? do you love reading, or rather looking at, hello! and ok! or can you just not understand *why* people are so fascinated by some random untalented people's lives who happen to be in the spotlight?
you can probably guess what my opinion is............

i don't get the appeal.
maybe if it was your favourite band, or actor or something i could understand people having an interest. but just random famous people? why do you care?
like posh and becks. he's a very good footballer, but i don't give a shit what he does off the pitch. and posh is just a waste of a hairdo.
beyond me.
okay, but most of them are....the ones with the most talent usually aren't the ones prancing about for press attention.
i hate it when some stupid popstar says that it's all about the music.....why do they then do countless photo shoots and have sylists and all the rest? image is what it's aaaaaallllll about....
i'm not saying all pop is bad...i mean i like some of justin timberlake's songs (!) but it's soo pathetic when you see people poring over some stupid paparazzi photo like bloody vultures.
what's so interesting about some woman walking along with a shopping bag wearing shades? i don't care if it's someone from atomic shitten, and i definitely don't care what groceries she bought this week, or what product she uses on her hair....
But celebs thrive on press attention. Take the Beckhams. Where would they be without so much attention? Nowhere.
For entertainment. What would society be like without any film, threatre, music, sport? I'm sure everyone in society likes at least one of these.
i have absolutely no idea what any of the members of my favourite bands look like. i don't even know their names.
and i don't care. i just want to listen to their music.
Aye, but these come from fans. If people like them, the press will give them attention in order to sell mags/newspapers/whatever. So where there is public interest, you'll get mags/newspapers with things relating to them which themselves will increase the stardom = more fans = more publicity.
i don't want to know how all these celebritiues look like but it's thrust in my face all day so it's hard to avoid.
it irritates me that i know about these celebrities ..who they are and what they look like, even though i have no interest in them.
i could avoid it all i guess....but it would be pretty hard.
yeah you're right, but i still wish the people in the limelight were at least the ones with the most talent.....but if people want to know how much posh spent on a ring for becks or whatever, that's fine, i just think it's pretty sad-who cares!
:yes:
I personally think celebs are silly, but everyone can, of course, support whoever they want without any recourse to justifying themselves, even if, to others, it seems stupid.
:yes: very true
sorry ina bad mood tonight shall go and chill now
and he's got a shit load of money.
But he's two cans short of a six pack! 'I've decided to get my son christened, but I don't know which religion yet'.
:yes:
good job he's good at footie. otherwise what the hell would he do?
people are more interested in Beckham now for his fashion sense and his hair...but he is a good footballer.
