Do You Understand Celebrities?

Do you understand famous people? I DON'T!

Actually I don't understand them particularly when they act weirdly or behave like immature kids. Take for example, two or three female celebrities who are well known and rich being worth in the millions, yet they want to get more millions by baring it all for playboy magazine.

And then there are those who behave like small kids in public, throwing tantrums at nothings. Why? To get more attention? And more money, in the process? But why adopt such ways?

Well, these are the sort of things the media loves very much. They want to sell more copies - $$$! - so some are even willing to blow things out of proportion, making a twist here and there. And it sounds very sweet to the ears of the fans of these celebrities. They wallow in such news!

So, do I understand a bit more about these famous people? I don't know. I am getting more confused. Sometimes, I get so fed up that I don't buy the newspapers or read the news online. Unless, of course, when I need to verify some news that people have mentioned and I am interested to know the truth. When I happened to buy a copy of the newspaper, I scan through the headlines. Then I turned the pages right to the back page to see the sports news. Most of the time, I find even the sports news uninspiring when even sportsmen behave like crazy. And then, there were the scandals of performance-enhancing drugs and even corruption in sports organizations. I am losing interest in sports news.

So, what is left? The comic page! Perhaps, some celebrities can be good comics. But if cartoonists do that, they may be sued, thus, more money for the celebrities if they win.

What a shameful state of things!

So do you understand famous people?
