But, but they are famous movie stars. We should all aspire to be just like them! Haven't you heard! After all, there are magazines and TV shows just to tell us what type of dress, tux, jewelry, etc. they wore to a "pad yourself on the back" award shows. People even call in (and pay money doing so) to vote for whose dress was the best for these stupid events.<br /><br />Sarcasm off. The focus on the entertainment industry is way, way overboard. I enjoy a couple of TV shows (Lost, The Office, Earl(?)), and enjoy movies but I don't really care what the actors/actresses name is, who they are married to (this week), and whether they wear boxers or briefs. <br /><br />I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and happened to pick up a magazine that just idolized famous people. It was pretty sad that so much info is collected and distributed on these people's daily lives.Originally posted by QC:<br />There is not one thing about the lives of these people that makes them credible on important issues. Why in heck would I consider their opinions any more valid than a kindergartner's?
