What this
tells me is that celebrities are simply human beings who work in professions
where people pay to see them work and as such, these people have more money
than most other people. Aside from that, they are no different that you or I.
Sadly, when “regular
folk” see stories like this about “famous folk”, the “regular folk” are either
glad that the celebs have been taken down a peg, or they are sad because their
favorite actor or singer is going through something. However, what this tells
me is that famous folk ARE regular folk, but while Britney Spears does not pay
to see me write, I would have to pay to see her sing (unless she wants to give
me free tickets).
The lesson
here is that entertainers have the same problems as regular people, but while I
night get mugged for a few hundred dollars, Bradley Cooper might have a few
thousand stolen from his wallet. The
only difference is the amount of money. The pain and shame is the same. Neither
of us would enjoy being robbed or held at knife
point, which makes us more alike
than most people realize.
