I've been pondering celebrities this morning and a few
questions have come to mind. I saw in the news that a musician celebrity just
bought his celebrity wife an $8 million ring. I have to ask, why do we care?
And second, why is this woman a celebrity? There seems to be three kinds of
celebrities. Those like Angelina Jolie or Bono, entertainers who also do
humanitaian work and can do so because of the influence and money they earn
from fame. Those who are strictly entertainers, but are good at what they do.
And those who are celebrities for no reason at all, other than inherited
wealth. They have no tqlent, they produce nothing and contribute nothing. This
is probably a modern phenomena made possible by technology.
