| Every now and then we hear or read about the most famous people in the world, also called celebrities. The increase in the number of celebs in show business is because, to some extent, of mass media covering celebrities' lives andprofessional achievements and enabling them to be seen more often and in different places.
Talent, popularity and not much education would be sufficient to make you a millionaire celeb. Often, the profit celebrities gain from movies or albums is not dependent on talent. There are thousands of unknown performers who are, obviously, much more talented than many of the celebrities we admire and gossip about. Still, their names, if printed, would appear in small print.
The hottest and most talented superstars in the business make millions per film or album. The Hottest meandthey are in demand. The Most gifted denotes they are the best in showbiz, since they have displayed a first class.
Being in the spotlight, they set conduct patterns for ordinary people. Very often they set a negative conduct pattern for their fans. In fact, the impact that celebrities have on the average person is phenomenal. Plenty of young ladies do their best to look like celebrities and starve to death. Many people even have plastic surgery to look like their favourite superstars. People try to imitate celebrities, which often results in alcohol and drug abuse, outrageous behaviour and arrests. They often find their lives boring and uneventful compared with celebrities' and try to behave the way they do to spice up their lives.
Celebs' expensive luxury garments, gems, perfect tan and makeup make ordinary people feel inferior, which leads to the inferiority complex.
Nevertheless, some celebs set a positive behaviour pattern by donating money to needy people, raising money for charity, helping seriously sick children and the elderly, promoting a healthy life-fashion among youngsters.
We should not idealize celebs, since they have both positive and negative personality traits, and do make mistakes, too. |
