The Gossip About a Certain Celebrity

My views on hearing about actor gossip are simple if the news can add something to my life, I can continue listening. If it is just mean and small minded then my mind turns off. I am not one to say that one should or should not listen to small talk behind the back of an actor. Everyone is entitled to protect himself and can also defend himself if they have too. There is no need for me to know the private scandals that occur behind bedroom doors or to know which actor is undergoing treatment at what psychiatric centre but occasionally I will turn on a TV channel to find out what the programming is only to discover that it depends on revealing the good, the bad and the ugly. That is what the world of film is about anyway to the tabloids, which are bent on discovering juicy stories.

Lately I am hear a lot regarding Britney Spears which makes it look like she or her family is masterminding all the publicity. However when I see an anxious dad asking the media to move aside so he can get to see his daughter at a clinic, I am amazed to see how the paparazzi are so keen on covering the matter in any way or form. One would think that there is an official visit coming to the hospital or that there is mini offensive against the building. It all turns me off. Again I have to say I watched this only to try and fathom why the media is so encouraged to cover these sad events especially when one can clearly see she ought to have some privacy to herself. There is no sense at barraging her family for information if she is seeking treatment; it is personal. If she has sold herself to her boyfriend that is her business be it sad to say. He says he is the only one really concerned. I would let the courts decide who should look after the celebrity. One has to be forceful with nosy journalists bent on finding the latest gossip. Every now and then this performer swings from one mood to another, do I need to know that or how she shaved her head to make a statement?

Still gossip columns will thrive for people who want to know how people are suffering when they should do so privately.
