Latest Celebrity Gossip – Do You Read It?

Alright, so celebrities do things. Sometimes it’s interesting. Sometimes it isn’t.

I know that the latest celebrity gossip is big industry. Really, it’s a billion dollars a year at least. There are people who write, photograph, share thoughts and make big assumptions about the private lives of celebrities.

I don’t particularly read celebrity gossip, except when it’s about Nathan Fillion. However, I know there are others out there who just love this stuff and enjoy learning all about their favorite actors, actresses and other talent. What I am sometimes surprised about is just how much people read about other people’s lives. But we love reality shows, about real people, so celebrity lives must be even more interesting.

I think it’s more interesting only because they’re trained to be interesting. They go through lessons and plan their day and while they say they can be normal… I don’t think they can be. (But then again, what’s normal?)

Think about it, they usually have to watch what they say and do amongst everyone. The only time they get to be themselves is when they’re alone, or with family and very close friends. Even then, a family member could easily relay a message that they said, out of context, to reporters and it could all go bad.

If you don’t think it matters, just think about Mel Gibson and the whole drunk debacle. He was drunk and yet they were holding him responsible for what he said. Silly, I know, celebrities? Drink? No way!

So I when I read celebrity gossip, I do prefer honesty, but I only want to know what celebrities have approved of and want us to know. Maybe that’s silly, because many people have opinions and ideas about what’s going on. Dunno. I like nice gossip. Oh hey, so and so is getting married and they wanted to tell everyone. By the way, someone adopted a little boy. Isn’t that nice?

I don’t think I want to know about affairs and who took who out to dinner and it may possibly mean they are getting married or that they’re breaking up with someone else. I think those are what I don’t like. The silly assumptions. But when it’s done nicely, and with taste, I’m happy with the idea.

What’s your idea on what you want to hear about from celebrities?
