The Way It Is Celebrities are fun to like, but obsession is another problem. I agree with Collin Palmer that celebrities are an escape from our boring lives. However I don't think it would be good to obsess over a celebrity. It may be that Palmer believed much of what King wrote, however, he disagrees by saying Celebrity obsession is an escape from our boring live. “This may escape us from reality but it wont directly help us on a daily basis. Although Collin Palmer is somewhat right he still need the evidence. Collin Palmer is stating that there is nothing bad about having an obsession on celebrities but I disagree with him. Collin Palmer states “ ...the internet is much easier to find out [ information ] about the celebrity…” ( 3) The quote is saying that the internet has a lot of ways to access people's private lives. Since we have internet these dayś it makes it easier to find out information on anybody you can look up a name and there phone number and they can find it especially celebrities. That can lead to the celebrity not wanting to go out in public because of that. …show more content…
This quote is stating something stated on the internet false information can spread faster than anyone expects.When the media spreads rumors that can put a lot of pressure on that celebrity and they can either feel insecure or have anxiety. This may cause a disruption in the music or photography to the celebrity they might even end up quitting on them. When people comment a threat you may not know if they are being serious. The producer can or may tell the celebrity that it won't be safe to travel that can lead to the people making up more rumors. They may end up ruining the celebrities life if the celebrity doesn't tell them what really happen. If the threat is real they would have to move locations and disguise for a while and take procedure if they are at a
Celebrity worship is a term given to those who obsess over one or more celebrity. Jake Halpern's "The Popular Crowd," discusses how loneliness increases the likelihood of someone worshiping celebrities. Worshiping of celebrities is not necessarily bad, it can be helpful for those who have a social need that they need satisfied. However, this worshiping can sometimes lead to stalking and violence towards celebrities. Once this happens celebrities are put in danger. Some celebrities receive phone calls, letters, emails, and more from stalkers. They might not feel like this is a sign of danger, but it is. In order for celebrities to remain safe, they need to be educated about dangers that come with having fans.
These judgements are made because celebrities that do not do try at all to get to where they are now or do not do what other celebrities did. Some celebrities are only famous because of the looks and because the person that they are together in a relationship with is a really famous celebrity. The assumptions and visualization that are made by people about celebrities wearing fancy, expensive clothes and having houses that look like mansions are basically true. When an assumption about celebrities is made by a person or fan about the star it is usually a positive statement and most of the time people make a good statement because they have experience meeting the celebrity or it is seen in the internet. On an online video created by Becca Frucht, a reporter and associate producer, it shows how the celebrity and actor Channing Tatum, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Andrew Garfield surprises the fans by disguising as another person and by putting on makeup. This action made by celebrities can show that not all celebrities do what they do for fame, because these actors like to make and see fans happy. When a person on social media talks bad about a celebrity that have never met but do it become of the things that are said by others and believe
As celebrities stand distinctively among the masses and cast out their halos of personality charm and strong suits of skilled abilities, the controversies about them are unavoidable shadows created from their fame. With the popularization of celebrity culture, information synchronization, and communication technology, their lives are publicly exposed and various forms of media (depending on eras) record their flaws. Tough information transmitted to audiences are frequently biased, evidences of objective reality remains, even in the remote past.
The quandary is that some celebrities can't understand that when one is out in plain view of the public, one cannot reasonably expect privacy. Privacy is a right reserved for when one is in private.
The deception of media consumers allows for the abuse of economic infrastructures of society. An obsession with celebrities’ lives passifies ordinary people in accepting the stratification of the elite businesses and the ordinary citizens. Though pseudo-events and celebrity worship may not be exactly complementary, the similarities of both leaves the public to be utterly vulnerable unless they begin to critically think for themselves.
Society always wants to keep an eye on their favorite celebrities’ life. It is fundamental. Every little detail the public wants to follow like what and where they are eating, whom they will marry, or what they are doing all day –such a vicious cycle.
According to Epstein, a celebrity is something or someone who can be talented and full of achievements and yet wish to broadcast ones fame further through the careful cultivation of celebrity, while one can be the total opposite of achievements and be less talented and yet still be made seem otherwise through the mechanics and dynamics of celebrity creation (Epstein2). Celebrity culture today is epidemic; some might agree that it is sweeping up America in a harmful way, while one might argue that it is beneficial to our society. Over the last few decades, celebrity and fame has changed dramatically, from Alexander the Great to Kim Kardashian. Talent and achievements no longer play a huge role when it comes to celebrities. “Much modern celebrity seems the result of careful promotion or great good looks or something besides talent and achievement” (Epstein2) with that being said celebrity-creation has blossomed into an industry of its own.... ...
In today’s day and age we live in a society obsessed with celebrity culture. This however, is not a new addiction; our society’s fascination with celebrity culture has been around for decades. Through the years, we’ve seen fandom come in various forms, shapes and sizes. From the groupies of the 60s, to the more recent digital-followers, one thing common among all fans is the pedestal on which they’ve put their favorite celebrity. Some people would argue that fans are not only the most important part of a celebrity’s life, but fans are quintessential in their success. Fans admire them, follow their every move: physical or electronic, and purchase anything and everything that might bring them in looking/feeling more like their desired celebrity. Many experts even believe that fan and fan-clubs often resemble religions. One can easily note the similarities between fans and a religious cult; from worshipping to organizing conventions and event recruiting new followers. To some it might even sound like a disorder, and Dr. Lynn McCutcheon after her intense research, was the first one to coin the term: (CWS) Celebrity Worship Syndrome. According to Psychology Today, CWS can be described as a mental-disorder where an individual becomes completely obsessed with the details of the personal life of a celebrity (Griffiths). A celebrity, as defined by Mark Griffiths, can be any person who is present in the ‘public eye’, including Politicians, authors, and journalists, but according to Dr. McCutcheon research they are more likely to be someone from the world of television, film and/or pop music.

They want to know everything about them and have a desire for more information. Celebrities should have their right to privacy due to historical/practical rights, their invasion of privacy with paparazzi, and their childrens’ rights to privacy. They are ordinary people just with a famous role in life. Historical/practical rights are one of the biggest issues and it all started back in colonial America. In colonial America, privacy was constrained.
When it comes to the topic of should the private lives of famous people be off limits to the media, most of us will readily agree that no private life should be entirely off limits. Where this agreement usually ends, however, is on the question of how the media always finds their way into the life of the artist. Whereas some are convinced that the media should not interfere into the private lives of the celebrity, others maintain that because even if they make a lot of fans happy, they can always live a life of loneliness. I agree that the private lives of a famous person should be off limits to the media because they might have everything in the world but underneath all that they might be living their life melancholy and loneliness.
In previous years, the issue with the paparazzi and media has grown. With the advances in technology, it makes taking and posting photos of celebrities or public figures much easier. The public appears greedy and feels privy to their private lives. Celebrities, or any public figure, have very limited privacy due to the paparazzi and media. The paparazzi and media are also affecting celebrities’ children. Currently, laws are being put in effect to stop this.
