Yes.
And yet everyone is their own person, and as such should have their own concept of what they want to
wear on their backs.
Or, for self-expression. |

It is really ridiculous to gt involved and e obsessd with celebrates and their lives |

I truly couldn't give a monkeys what some pampered celebrity wears. I have my own style and wear it
with pride |

We as a society are stupid for even getting involved with celebrities' lives, because for one thing,
we don't even know those celebrities in most cases. |

You can't really disagree, even those who claim to not care somehow know what's going on. Bowling
for Soup' song "High School Never Ends" captures the essence of our current society. The populars
have made a jump from high school to the big screen and big way. But we also see a want for
something more. Women like Jennifer Aniston are not the most "beautiful," but we see she is very
well liked for her personality. Likewise girls such as Lindsey Lohan are hated for their lack
luster performances in everyday life. We have a society that revolves around the stars, but every
once and a while we show a desire to see the true people behind the makeup and plastic. |

It is an undeniable fact that most of us in our society are really obsessed with celebrities that we
see through different sources of media. It is our general nature that we get fascinated with their
style, their movement, their clothing and accessories. The reason behind this is they represent that
part of our life which is a kind of a virtual world but even after knowing that we still like to
live in that world because it is a place which makes us feel good. Not just cloth materials and
accessories, what the celebrities do in their hairstyle and all other fashion statements that also
becomes a trend for the time being. Thus it can be said that we are definitely obsessed with the
style statements of celebrities. |

I mostly agree with that. I think that a lot of people loose themselves in the world today by trying
to 'look good' and act like a celeb. Just because they are a total wanna-be and have no lives. I for
one think it is a total waste of time and money to do such things which is why i tend to flow away
from the Celebrity scene and go for more positive subjects that really deserve my attention. |

Yes, people tend to become more shallow than old days. |

It's clear that we have a pitiful obsession with celebrities. What's more, it extends beyond the
tabloid press into the so-called quality press. Of course, broadsheet newspapers usually want to put
some spin in whatever the tabloid excitement du jour is, to make it seem like they are offering
higher critical perspective on it, rather than indulging in celebrity obsession directly.
I fear that this is just human nature and that there's nothing much that can be done about it. It
may even have potentially beneficial effects if the celebs decide to adopt some worthy cause and
raise its public profile. |

Voyeurism is a real temptation for many people in society, and this is at the root of the heightened
interest that some have in the lives of so-called celebrities. The tabloid media and the
entertainment industry not only feed off of this frenzy, but they also help to generate it and this
creates a vicious cycle that is very difficult to break.
A good illustration of this problem can be found in British soap awards, where categories are
created for the "sexiest" actor or actress and tabloid papers seem to value being considered the
most physically attractive much more than receiving a distinction for actually being an accomplished
performer.
If we want to find out why people are obsessed with "celebrities," then we should look no further
than the use of this term. Referring to someone who performs as simply an actor is far less
glamorous than calling him/her a "celebrity," which implies glorification and the notion of
celebration. |

I think far too much attention is given to celebrities and so called celebrities, what they wear and
how they look.
I can't understand why the media give them so much publicity, many of them for doing very little
apart from buying clothes, getting drunk or moaning about how badly done to they are.
If we didn't buy magazines that encourage this perhaps, hopefully t would all go away!
We hear about celebrity weight loss, weight gain, how they look in jeans, bikini's how much they
spend on handbags etc., and do we really care?
Most sensible people have far too much in their own lives to care about over-indulged people with
little talent and the way the media uses this for profit is very unscrupulous.
Most of would amit to looking at the glossy magazines in the hairdressers or dentist but it just
makes one realise what a waste of money they are and how pathetic many of these so called famous
people are.
We have pictures of them bulging out of clothes , wearing too few clothes, fashion disasters, and
what sort of example is this setting for young people and their self images?
There's no harm in seeing what goes on and how the other half live, perhaps we all like to see nice
clothes and accessories . Many magazines show alternatives to the very expensive clothes and shoes
that the rich and famous wear. Wouldn't it be better to encourage people to be individuals and have
their own styles and tastes rather than emulate people who very often do very little of value. |

I don't think so. I think its true for some people who have nothing better to do, but not that many. |

Nah they all look ugly. |

I agree with demo. People only look to movie stars to see what's "in," but they don't really base
themselves on them. I don't know a single person like that, and I would be shocked to find one. I
don't know what anybody would see in those kind of people...they look kind of ugly to me. (Except
the few classy stars, like George Cloony and Julia Roberts). |
