Some people in society are turning to celebrities, so he could give them neck strain. Of Hollywood actors, musicians and sports stars, people idolize them, following their move and treat them all as divine beings.
Of course, there is a great company to make the rich and famous. Sites and magazines such as TMZ.com, CelebritySequence.com and Perez Hilton were all caught our attention with their videos and celebrity gossip.
It is becoming commonplace for stories about celebrities to take title on other world events. We often think that our celebrity culture was a modern phenomenon, but as far as ancient Rome and Greece, people idolized members of the royal family and other members of the nobility.
It is quite normal for people to compare themselves to others, but this celebrity culture gone too far, and we all really want to see this ubiquitous coverage celebrity videos and pictures.
One school of thought is that our desire to discover the dirty secrets of celebrities is a form of escape from our own lives - especially if the scandal is involved, then it is somehow feel better about ourselves. The Germans even have a word for it - they call it "Schadenfreude" - taking pleasure in another person misfortune.
The most common reason people give behind the celebrity culture is the desire to be famous one day too. It's easy to understand why people want that. Walking on the red carpet, being the center of attention while surrounded by jealous fans, private jets, get free meals in the large dining and be adorned in the most fashionable clothes and glamor.
What about those celebrities we follow, is it like to live on the receiving end of all this attention? The price of fame may be high. They march to the rest of the world, with every little detail of their appearance and behavior analyzed by strangers. Personal data seems to be out of bounds as the paparazzi follow them everywhere. While most of us at some point will face criticism from friends and family, celebrities have to bear the charges of newspapers and tabloid magazines.
So what does all this mean? James Houran, a psychologist at the School of Medicine at Southern Illinois University said, "We as a society become too concerned with celebrities and fantastic images it evokes." After reviewing more than six hundred people, the team of James Houran of researchers has identified a psychiatric condition they called "cult of celebrity syndrome". This is an unhealthy interest in the lives of the rich and famous. According to researchers, about a third of us have to some degree. James Houran continues by saying, "Celebrities are more people who have special talents and attributes." "Many celebrities are simply marketing products."
Anthropologist Francisco Gil-White of the University of Pennsylvania said:. "Humans, unlike other species, get most of their information about the world of other human" He continues, "We were selected not only for rank highly successful individuals and prefer such models, but also to kiss them so they prefer us as interaction partners.
