Celebrities (In General)

Late last night I was on the Henry Cavill fan website. Now, let me clarify, I am not a fan, and while that sounds bad, it's only because I have never actually seen his work. I have a distant, fringe and very minor knowledge of him and was just being nosy. It was 1:00 am and I wasn't up to cerebral stuff. Anyway, just to read forum posts you have to join. Great, just to be nosy I had to join a fan website...never done that before. So, I'm reading about Henry's engagement being debunked and all kinds of speculation about his current and past girlfriends, whether she's from New Zealand, one of the two blondes he's posing with, or even his co-star in his upcoming movie or even if he is gay or not. Now the engagement rumor came from an obscure (sorry, no offense) blog, which was referred to by the "debunker". I had found out recently that people actually have "alerts" so they will know whenever anything referring to selected celebrities get posted and I thought it was crazy that anyone would do that. I mean isn't there anything more important to learn about. But I digress... apparently it's true. How else would that reference show up on this celebrity fan forum? Good Lord people, get a life!!! At one in the morning I was zoning out and just waiting for the caffeine to wind down so I can go to sleep so mindless surfing of the internet didn't seem too crazy. In the light of morning I realize that people do this all the time. With the endless posts analyzing who his girlfriend is/was/could be/should be, if he looks better in a suit/short hair/long hair, etc I have to admit that I feel quite sorry for the fellow. References were made that he is quite private and is keeping his love life under wraps. Well, duh!
I had noticed the same dissecting of another person's love life on his fan's website (I have only been to 2) and I have to tell you that I really feel sorry for celebrities. They have no privacy and are under constant scrutiny. It is difficult enough to be scrutinized from every angle while on a set filming, much less having it done to you just posing for regular fan photos. The other fan site actually has people who notice how many times the singer actually wears a certain type of shoe on stage...I mean give me a break! Shoes people!! Please put your energies to more worthwhile endeavors and realize that while their careers put them in the public eye speculating on every little thing they do only will make them more reclusive...and wary and distrustful of people. That is so not fair to them. Privacy is a good thing.
I will admit to celebrity lusting when I was younger. I was going to be Mrs. George Michael....don't know how I went so wrong with that one...lol I bought every teen magazine with his photo in it and collected everything he was remotely attached to. But I grew out of it!!!

My son wants to get into the industry as well and the lack of privacy is the one thing I am concerned about. Please, just let the people live their lives without constant scrutiny, and psycho analysis of every little pose, smile (fake, real, happy, etc), piece of clothing, shoes worn, etc. Women, please, if you're that bored, volunteer or get a worthwhile hobby. Celebrity stalking, even if from a distance, is NOT a hobby. Just because someone was born with a pretty face or a special ability doesn't make them any different from your next door neighbor or co-worker. Introduce yourself to your neighbor... or better yet, make them a cake and bring it over... Wouldn't the world be a better place if we all did that.... And you never know who may have moved in next door, could be the future love of your life... Don't miss out because you were so busy obsessing over the unattainable.
