英文原作


The victim image of a celebrity is often not as it seems. I am inclined to think that celebrities looking for fame sometimes join forces with the media outlets to make everybody happy. To say that famous people are treated unfairely is to misunderstand celebrity behavior. Most likely, they are inviting it. Journalists-turn-paparazzis need to give the audience what they want in order to survive in the gossip world.

Celebrities are stars ready to shine to be seen. The rise of international celebrities in acting and popular music, in particular, is due in large part to the massive scale of the media industries, enabling celebrities to be viewed more often and in more places. Exposure of private lives to the public, intentionally or otherwise, is characteristic of the Hollywood obsession for fame, and then for money. And, with the possible exception of drugs, nothing is more habit-forming than money.

Privacy is a luxury most celebrities cannot afford. The last thing they would like to do is allow their names to be ignored and not to be heard anymore, like fading starlets. The reason is simple. A modest man or woman may be admired only when the public ever hear of him or her. They would rather pay a price of losing privacy for fame than be out of spotlight. The media outlets serve to boost the image of willing celebrities who must thrive on fame or infamy or both to be able to continue living in galaxies.

Such is my observation of celebrity hehavior which the media outlets put in the center of public attention along with important global issues. I believe that all is fair and well that ends well. Movie stars, singing stars as well as sports stars and political stars, once becoming public celebrities, are considered as public properties and must live public lives. It is as if driving on Sunset Boulevard, celebrities must know that is the street to stars.
