Hollywood attention

Hello all,

What did Brittney Spears do over the weekend or where did Russell Crowe go on vacation? I don't know about you but I could care less. The overall interest in celebrities has gotten out of hand. I know that I am in the minority but the average person and the paparazzi make it next to impossible for Hollywood stars and celebrities in general to lead anything even close to a normal life. So many people make a living on celebrities. There is the paparazzi who will sell a photo to the highest bidder, Entertainment tonight would not exist if these people were left alone or if there was no interest. Magazines such as enquirer or star would fold, the list could go on and on. They way we as society view the entertainers as a whole is sad. I like to go to movies as much as the next person but take it for what it is. Don't decide that because Keri Russell or your favorite female star is so thin that you have to lose 20 pounds. Youing girls are having eating disorders at a all time high because they feel that they have to look like the latest and greatest celebrity. When you look in the mirror and all you see are flaws because you want to look like a covergirl then you need to take a step back. Appreciate you for who you are. We all want to look like a covergirl but we live in the real world. Entertainers don't effect me on a regular basis because first of all I really don't care what they are doing and they aren't paying my rent or food bill. I do think that the popularity of the stars has effected society as a whole in that we buy into it. We all need to be ourself. The stars are hounded on a regular basis but because of who they are it should be expected. I think that the paparazzi should tone it down and show some respect and courtesy as to how they get their information. When appropriate they should just back off. Just because someone is famous they are no better then the rest of us. They are richer and better off then most but when they get cancer or we get cancer it is still cancer. You don't see us on the cover of People magazine because we got sick. Just keep in mind that they are sought after because of who they are, we just have to remember who we are.
