The media is rather annoying. But this is obvious and many people can agree with me.
So many people are so obsessed with what celebrities are doing all the time, and not just when it comes to their careers. I just don't get how it's exciting when a magazine does a spread about how "Celebs are Just Like Us!!!"
Obviously they are just like us. They are human beings. Yes, Angelina Jolie has most likely been grocery shopping in her life. Celebrities don't get their everyday necessities beamed down to them from some kind of Hollywood Gods.
I am a fan of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt because they are both very good actors, and I admire them both for being activists. I agree they make a very attractive and seemingly perfect couple. If I were to meet either one I'd probably mention that I appreciate their work, but I wouldn't go all fangirl on them. I've always had that mentality when meeting celebrities, they're just people.
The main reason I'm making this post is why the media gets so caught up in celebrity relationships. Some are rather appalling and I can see why people find it interesting. I have to admit I stopped to read a couple times about the Lohan/Ronson craziness that was their relationship. But when two successful people get together and have a pretty normal relationship why is it such a huge deal?
I see magazine covers, blog headlines and other media outlets saying OH NO! Brad and Angelina are fighting!!! OH MY GOSH!
Ok so because they're celebrities, they aren't allowed to have arguments?
They are two very successful and very famous people, they have 6 kids, they are probably apart very often, yes they will fight. They will scream, argue, disagree, make up, break up, and everything else that happens in a relationship. People (like my mother) think if they see a magazine cover saying "Brangelina" had a fight that it means their relationship is destined to fail.
Yes, because every normal relationship between people who aren't famous is absolutely perfect.
Ha.
It's Blitz
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
