Celebrity’s do you get the hype?

190E(Taylor’s version)

How do we all feel about celebrity’s

generaly i Dont gwt it like all the coverage there are exceptions though rhe obvious being Taylor swift and I think the reason I like her so much is she’s the embodiment of some of the quality’s I have always found in my closest friends humour,wisdom snd kindness snd like she shares the same  sort of humour at least 2 of my closest best friend have had 

Ashley Tisdale ok this is more of like based on her being super pretty but I do like her posts and stuff online she seems sweet

also when I was younger I had the Harry Potter Phase that some people it want it phase but Inalways adored Bonnie wright who played ginny probably becuase she was great actress and is only my ageish

ok s club juniors simply becuase they were my first speical interest outside of Cars and trains I even knew all their surnames and fave foods becuase of the tv shows they did but Hannah was the best one

but even with Tay Tay I couldn’t really care less if she went rhe gym every Tuesday followed by a pork pie feast although when it’s genuine stuff abour her life im all in on it longn as she it ok

  • Two words: False idols. I don’t connect to celebrities like some do, I enjoy the music artists create but have no interest in their personal success or life story. This lack of interest in others though is most likely an autistic trait which reflects why I can find making new friends so difficult. I just lack the imagination to create a mask a lot of the time and pretend. I even cannot see any difference between live music and putting on a cd, surely it’s more effort to travel or stand in a muddy field with unearthly amounts of noise than it is to just put in a cd and listen from the comfort of your own home. My miserable old man personality strikes again!

    I think the big issue is the idea that fame somehow implies competence or knowledge in other areas.

    If I create a song that's popular, I may know something about music, but it doesn't mean I know anything about politics, history, diets, travel, healthcare or how to run your life.

    Likewise, if I become famous due to being on TV, so what. And the famous for being famous thing just confuses me. 

    I've never understood why people would be interested in other people they've never met and don't know.

    I think it's the idea that you have a relationship with them because you know stuff about them. But they know nothing about you. It's asymmetric. Just like your therapist may know lots about you, but you don't have a relationship with them, and at least you've met them. 

    I suppose you have the nosy, gossip thing, which I guess is about curiosity, comparison and jealousy.

    I get why the people seek fame, it gets you money, deals, sponsorship and free stuff. I wonder if it's really a validation or insecurity issue.

    This is similar to the halo effect, one positively perceived attribute about another person creates an illusion that the individual is equally as positive in other or all other aspects of their lives. It’s a bit like seeing an attractive person in the street, I know from my perspective I don’t question if they are morally righteous or charitable, I only see an attractive face leading to a lack of awareness as to whether they would be compatible relationship wise or not.
