Blog #4 – Celebrity Socialites
Us Weekly, Entertainment Weekly, and most famous The National Enquirer are just some of many gossip magazines here in the United States and Canada. I for one am a person who looks at these magazines, why? because there are everywhere and because it seems as if celebrities these days are inferior. Celebrities, first of all does not consist of only the famous actors and actresses that we see in our favorite movies, they are the children of older celebrites who basically live off of being exactly that. Also this is an age of reality television which means these “average” people who participate in a numerous different type of shows. Some reality television test one’s ability or endurance and the majority of the other shows are basically people who are set up to be made a fool of and we, as an audience of the general public, watch these shows, and on a regular basis.
This is an issue that until recently I did not have a problem with. I always thought if I was in that position I would be doing the same, however today I was on the internet and saw something that scared me not only scared but not surprised me, that is that socialite Paris Hilton is not serving her jail time. The thought that came to my head is what crime will it take for a celebrity to get a rightful punishment, and for it to stick? The drinking and driving, the drugs, these young, and underage (a lot of them) people are doing as they please, why? because they can. From what I see in the past years this is a problem that is not going away but is snowballing.
