Celebrity Obsession

I have to admit, I am one who has an iPhone application on my phone for People. I also follow people on Twitter such as E! News and Perez Hilton, along with numerous celebrities just to get the latest tweets from Hollywood. Although this is a guilty pleasure of mine, where do gossip sites, celebrity news channels, and paparazzi draw the line?

Although I do enjoy hearing about what brand celebrities are buying and which celebrities are secretly dating who, I do not need to know every detail of these people's lives. They must want to keep some things private, right? I could not imagine having the paparazzi swarm me every time I left my house or even stepped foot into public. It seems like some B-D List celebs try to go places that are paparazzi central to gain some more press exposure, yet how does someone like Brad Pitt even step foot in a grocery store without people and or paparazzi mobbing him? I think that our culture has gotten so celebrity obsessed, and it has gotten a little out of control. If someone like Kim Kardashian cannot even keep a boyfriend because she is always in the public eye, what is the world coming too? I think that people need to take a step back and try not to be so obsessed with people that they probably never never met before, nor will ever meet, It is unhealthy.
