Do you think our society is too obsessed with Celebs?

Question

THey are just people, are they not? sure, lots of famous peeps have done great things worthy of admiration, but what about people like Paris Hilton? i know most people hate her now but then y is she still in the fashion pages of people?

thanks! and do you look up to most celebs?

Answer 1

We are way to obsessed with celebs. Look at your question you even capitalized the word. They are just people who like to act. They are not smarter. They might be prettier. They behave in ways I would not want my children to behave. They have a very high opinion of themselves weather it is warrented or not. They drink too much and do too many drugs. Not what I would call a good class of people.

Answer 2

We need heroes in our lives.

Lacking any war heroes or local heroes we use sports figures and celebs. At one time, we idolized our politicians as saviors .. at least until the down-fall of Richard Nixon.

Not to sound paranoid, but we are being manipulated by a huge media machine. The numbers of radio, newspaper and television stations owned by a single group of people is astonishing. We are being told who to like.

The media builds them up as false heroes and then gleefully tears them down.

It's pretty ugly.

Answer 3

Of course, I mean why should people waste time on fools like the most of the celebrities are, for example Angelina Jolie's and Bradd Pitt's baby isn't anymore beautiful than others, or the antychriste ****** Tom Cruise, or even better idiots like Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, please they are just a bunge of unintelligent and uneducated morons who don't care about ordinary people, they give up a part of their manoey because they will pay very, very small taxes.

Answer 4

Celebs are just people, like you said. No, I dont look up to them. People like Paris Hilton...have money. Money talks. She is still in People magazines becuz she is out there, showing herself, spending her daddys money...getting photographers attention.

Answer 5

I agree with so much!!!! The only difference between them and us is MONEY. They put their pants on just like anyone else does, they take a dump just like everyone else does. They get paid way too much money for what they do. I am so sick of hearing about the Pitt-Jolie and the Tomkat babies. You would think they were the only people in the world to have kids.

Answer 6

yes,look at magazines.i love reading stories or articles that apply to situations in my life.i dont care what club lindsay lohan was spotted in,or what nicole ritchie ate or didnt eat for breakfast,or what tom cruise thinks about whatever.i dont know these people,never will.i dont care where they go or what they do.it matters only to themselves,their family and friends.but u cant go ANYWHERE without hearing boring details about them.i turned on the tv in spain-and there was paris hilton.some real news mighta been nice !!!!! the celebrity worship thing is everywhere,but y?they seem shallow,unstable and confused-whats to like?

Answer 7

I agree with you Flippy there"s to much in my own life to be concerned with what the celebs are doing. I'm pretty sure some of them wish that they had ordinary lifes like us.

Answer 8

yes i do. they wouldnt be who they are without the regular ppl buyign all those crap magazines, and payin 30 bux to see a movie in theatres. i think its so dumb how people are complainign about taxes and they dont wanna help people on welfare etc well, noone is complaining that celebrities are getting too much money. take some of that money and give it to the poor.

Answer 9

YES!!! every time time i turn on the TV, or the radio, and even when i buy a magazine, they are always on the covers. Celebs are every where.

Answer 10

yes people are too obsessed over celebrities. i agree that like paris hilton some celebrities are TOOOO over rated
