I was watching t.v. today and saw a feature on Sara Evans. She has decided to leave the Dancing with the Stars show because of her divorce. This part of the show didn't really bother me. I'm sure that people want to know why she chose to leave the show. The part that bothered me was when the show started to go into details about her divorce. It was sharing information, that I'm sure Ms. Evans had a hard time telling her own family, with the whole world. Now usually if one of those celebrity shows bother me I just turn the channel and forget about it. But for some reason, I just had to write to say that I think that the media and paparazzi are going too far. Of course, they have been doing this for a while. Like when they were obsessed with why no one had seen Suri Cruise, or just talking about useless info like who Lohan hates and likes. Who really cares about stupid things like that? Why is America so obsessed with every aspect of celebrities lives? Celebrities aren't anything special. And why must America demand every dirty little embarassing detail of these peoples lives. Isn't anyone besides me tired of it?

That makes two of us there. They do go overboard. Not only that but I myself have never really cared about other peoples business. But I guess the drama queen center of attention type people like that stuff.
I read an artical a while back about this. It basically was saying that americans are so isolated in our lives that we are turning towards these celebrities as a sort of "extended family" The artical went on to explain that with the majority ofd our relationships taking place over cell phones, text messaging, email and chat groups...it becomes hard to draw a distinction between the latest email from our friend "betty" and the newest gossip on Brittant Spears. So we end up forming these imaginary emotional ties to these people we have never met. crazy isn't it!!
Don't worry, it's not just America. Any country with pop culture and celebs has this problem. I lived in India for a while. It was worse there.
