Celebrities are just people!

I don't understand why people get so crazy over celebrities especially singers and actors. Come on, they are just people like you and me. What's the big deal? Why do people get this way when it comes to celebrities? I also think that they get paid WAY too much for what they do. Is there anyone out there that agrees with me on this?

i mean yah some celebraties are a bit special but i dont go mad for them. the one group of people that annoy me is football players. they round around a field for 90 minutes kicking a ball and prretending their hurt and get paid in excess of £120 grand a week.dont get me wrong im football mad but i just think that they get paid way to much. think of the people they could help with their money and none of them really try to make a difference. Cheers.

I agree! They get paid an excessive amount of money. Are they really doing anything that extraordinary to need that much compensation?

I use to be a rodie for a rockband when I was younger and I ment allot of famous singers too many to list I could not see any differance in them they were no differant then I was they just made allot more money. I can't see why people make a big deal of sports on TV either.I mean less then 10% of the people who watch TV even look at sports and then the pay those people get for playing a stupid game I just don't understand why we put up with this!!

I know that they are paid for entertaining, but they do get paid entirely too much. Millions of dollars to play basketball? Come on, that money could be used in a much better way.

wow nice to met someone who agrees with me. I don't understand the fascination. What have they contributed to my life?? nothing. Have I contribute any thing to their life's.? No. Do I care? No. Can I understand those who do? no Give me a line up of the ten most popular singers/actors and I bet you I'd be able to name two.(if I'm lucky).And you know I see people every day reading about them/ discussing them/half wishing these were their mates I don't get it. Don't get me wrong some celebrities have been great for charities etc, Well done keep up the good work, But do I care about what you eat for breakfast where u buy your clothes? no. And there great at telling us this. Why? Another thing that annoys me are their kids who have done nothing but be born to a celebrity ......Stopping my rant now. lol

I agree, but I think that people just love to see the American dream in action... If I could be rich and famous for something stupid, I'd do it in a second... I saw celebs and athletes alot at my old job and always thought it was funny when the customers/guests would get really excited! Maybe one day all these crazy people will stop caring so much, but as long as those celeb magazines are making money the insanity won't stop!

People get carzy over the money & fame but in the end yes, they are just people like everyone else. My friend's brother is a hollywood actor (lead of Serenity) and I've known him since childhood, it's cool he's an actor for sure, but I don't go head over heels about it.
