Why Does a Celebrity's Life Fascinate Us?
We want to know everything about celebrities. We have never met or seen them in person, but we have a great interest in their lives. We try to know know every thing about them, even their private lives which they try to keep secret because we think that our own lives are very ordinary. Every thing happening around us is not special, and we think that such is life. However, we think that the lives of celebrities are different from ours. We think they have something special which we can never have because we see only their outer lives, like their talent. We cannot know about anything other than this outer life, but once we come to know these things, then we want to know more. We wonder about both the inner and outer lives of celebrities who seem to be special. However, I think that the celebrities also think that their real lives are ordinary. They are the same as us. They just had the fortune to become famous. so, if their lives are now special, so are ours. We
don't need to know everything about them, and, in
fact, we don't have any right to do so. Maybe they
don't want to reveal their lives to everybody, just
as we would not like to. More
