Today I was scanning some news sites looking for something interesting to read...and I found something...but not exactly an article. After scanning story after story I've come to the conclusion that America doesn't put nearly enough focus on the lives of celebrities (note the sarcasm).
For example, Kathy Gifford is going to co-host an hour of the Today show. Don't get me wrong I like to stay on top of who is running my daily news of choice, but for one hour...get real.
Or the fact that Beyonce and Jay-Z picked up a marriage license in Westchester. Good for them and I wish them all the best, but who cares? Maybe they also renewed their driver's, hunting, and fishing licenses and thought they'd add one to the list.
So, it makes me wonder...what if everyday people got this attention? What if there were people taking pictures of you every time you walked into the grocery store? Or what if the local news reported every intimate affair of your life? It would get really old really fast. So, then why are we so fascinated with the lives of celebs? I don't understand why we put so much emphasis on their every move. I mean I'm glad that Dennis Quaid thinks his 'G.I. Joe' character for an upcoming movie is "badass", but I didn't need MSNBC to tell me so.
