Celebrity Musings...Why Am I A Fan?
In recent days, I've come across articles and videos of some of my favorite actresses and actors. Mainly because I have nothing better to do than dink around online, and browse through YouTube to entertain myself, lol.
However, I've come to question why I do/used to idolize certain celebs, especially after hearing or reading some of the things they say. Yes, celebrities are people just like the rest of us, but they also embody fantasy to many (including myself in some ways). So, why should I get upset or get a feeling of irritation and anger toward an actor who seems to have taken for granted the fame that has been afforded to him/her? Why should I be hurt by the idea that despite my own displeasure with a situation, that a celeb finds the same situation horrible?
Possibly because hearing them say these things, watching them do these things...it kills my fantasy about them (and I'm not necessarily talking about sexual fantasy, lol).
Ahhh, to wipe the mind clean and regain that fantasy would be nice...
