A New Religion Of The New World

Hi everybody… hope u’r all doing great… unlike me… I’m still suffering frm Monday blues eventhough its Tuesday… that’s because my Monday was a holiday and my brain thought it was a Sunday and now it thinks today is Monday which its not… its Tuesday….so I have the Monday blues… I knw… I knw.. absolutely weird…
first of all many thanks to joel for being the first person to comment on my blog... and i'll take care not to do wat u told me not to do... lol...but really thanks a lot...
Well since it was a national holiday yesterday we did not get our newspapers today… I don’t really get this trend its not like there’s no news to report on a holiday…. Anyways.. when the paper did not arrive this morning I was surprised that I had a feeling of emptiness a void … I really love reading the paper…not just the news news but also the celebrity gossip in the entertainment section…. Now ‘I’ read that section because that’s wat everybody is usually talking about and its pretty hillarious at times… paris hilton’s latest typical bimbo statement… lindsay lohan’s DUI…. Britney spears’s child custody battles… celeb couples in splitsville… the list’s way too long…. AND that got me thinking what is it that we love about these lives of the rich and famous????… the money?? The luxury??? The variety??? Or is it just plain a “living vicariously through another person” thing???….
CELEBRITY WORSHIP…
That’s wat I’m talking about today….i really don’t get it… why do we have so many people blindly following and believing things these ppl say… why do we look up to them… I mean I totally agree that they entertain us … but that’s it that’s wat they do… nothing more…
Sometimes ist not just worship its pure idolising… and let me tell u half these people are not worth idolising… really people good looks are not that hard to achieve… a little bit of make-uup and some branded clothes…. The fashion spreads in magazines have lots of lighting at various “perfecting” angles… oooh and don’t forget the fans…. That angelic hair flow… it’s the fans…. So if its just because of good looks then ditch them… and worship yourself…
The real thing is , These celebs have big fabulous and glitzy lifestyles and that’s wat almost eveyone wants… so by celeb worship we think that somehow we might get noticed too and be able to get some part of that glitz and glamour… or some others are plain jealous of the celebs…. and a very alarming number of people claim to be in love with them… for example the girls with “marry me Zac” posters… and the dudes who want autographs on their butts… those are three very broad categories of celeb worshippers….
I have had my celeb worship days too… I have been in “love” with a lot of stars daniel radcliffe, zac efron, jesse mccartney, johnathan rhys mayers, hrithik roshan, ranbir kapoor, …. Many many more… believe me. My crushes changed every other week… with every other movie that I saw…
But the thing to realise is that wat we see is just one side of the coin… the kind of lives that these people lead is absolutely stressfull… ok yeah…. Everyone’s life is stressed these days but I don’t know somehow I don’t find their lives very welcoming… I mean think about it… everytime u step out of your house there are paparazzi poking cameras into your face… u’r very personal embarassing moment turns into a wordwide joke…. Its seriously twisted….
Celebrity worship is some times pretty dangerous when it turns to celeb stalking… now that is a serious problem…
keeping track of your favourite celeb’s movies or his girlfriends that’s not a problem… but checking out every picture put up on the net about his outings that’s not really cool… put yourself in their shoes and think about it… I’m sure u’ll understand…
Why not use all that time that you waste in browsing through someone else’s life in to doing something with your own life… make ‘your’ life browsable…
Let me know wat u think about celebrity worship???
Who’s your favourite celebrity/actor/singer???
More than celebs tell me who’s your idol??? That will be my next post….
yours with lots of love,
