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

  • I guess this is all true I think the only reason I do connect with some celebrity’s is rhe fact they make an effort(where possible) to help the fan out and they care deeply about the fans(well unless said fans are creeps) 

    other than Tay Tay a big example I can think of is someone who has a lot less fame rhe singer no l Harper at his gigs you gwt ancadotes and jokes but untlikw Tay he doesn’t interact that much wirh the fans

    i think for me I do like life music becuase you can feel the bass in the air and it’s a more true sound than a recording als some artists do interact wirh in some at the fans I mean my  fave moment on the eras tour film is when Taylor sings “do the girls at home touch you like I do?” And she looks this fan dead in the eye and mouths “no they don’t” I was howling wirh laughter 

    like I say any celebrity’s I do feel connected to it’s kind of like a thing of if they weren’t fameous snd I met them Is most likely want to form a friendship with them but at the same time im nkt delusional and I do know im never going to be friend with Tay Tay or Tom Holland or what ever

    i find most (but again jot all but yeah a lot) of nt so treat them like gods who are better than us snd blindly worship them that part u Dont get

    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.

    Same here.

    Plus, don't get me started on those haughty individuals who, when they don't get their own way, adopt the body language / facial expressions / utterances in the style of: "(why) Don't you know who I am?".

    ...I think many Autistic people don't subscribe to the whole hierarchy piece - across many settings.

  • 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!
