Celebrity Views
                Very recently we read a story called “Here’s to You, Joe DiMaggio” written by Paul Simon. After we had read the story we had a slight discussion on modern celebrities and how they are being portrayed today.
              
 Celebrities today are clearly not being depicted in a fair way nor are they being realistic. Though we see a lot of bad publicity for many celebrities, do we really know the whole story? Many paparazzi’s exaggerate a story to attract… well us. I bet half of us has grabbed a magazine because we see something intriguing on the cover. Like Kim Kardashian’s divorced Kanye’s sorry butt or Selena Gomez pregnant with Justin Bieber’s child. If I saw that in Walmart I’d totally take a look. Chances are what they’re saying is total baloney… if people say that still. So it’s very hard to trust the media for factual information.
               
  I am completely guilty of this and I am positive that I am not the only one. Looking up to people just because of their visual appeal or success rate. What cha talking about Mikka? Well I’m pretty sure the main reason why Justin Bieber or One Direction became worldwide famous is because they look attractive. Same goes for Megan Fox and any of the Kardashians. As much as we want to deny the fact we look up to these people because of their appearance I think I made a pretty much sealed the deal when I said Megan Fox. Though it’s hard to look at a person personally from a far combined with the publicity that’s given we should try to base the thing we admire about them through personality.
                
 Point being, we barely know anything about these people. What they go through day by day, the challenges they have to face, the reasons behind why they did what they did. We might see the image they try to portray to the media or what the media makes them look. But we don’t know what happens behind all that. So we are not any position to judge nor hate at them. Thank you for listening to me. Hope you have a great day!
