I like to know what goes on in the lives of many celebrities. It's hard to just listen to their music or watch their movies and not wonder about their lives. Sometimes I even find myself having conversations with friends about how it is possible that Jesse James cheated on Sandra Bullock, or anything else related to news on a celebrity. The article "Seeing by Starlight: Celebrity Obsession" examines our connections with celebrities by explaining how us ordinary folk feel about them. We see them live in a world that we can only dream about and that makes them so incredibly fascinating, but pictures of them not looking the way they would at a red carpet event makes them just like us. We like to think that celebrities are perfect, but we also want to relate.
In Vanity Fair's article "Adrift..." Lindsey Lohan gives her reasons behind all that she has been through in the past couple of years. She is depicted as the star, who once shined very brightly, but who now is left picking up the pieces of her shattered Hollywood dream life. I couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her after reading what she had to say. It seems as though the author did so, too, but then she recalls that Lindsey has already said that she is a changed person but continues to do exactly the same thing that leads her to her own demise. In the article she is described as looking "raw" and "fatigued," nothing like the pictures included in the article. In those pictures she looks like a true Hollywood superstar, with all the glamour that comes with the job. This article provides insight into the amazing world of some celebrities and how fame may not be as pretty as Hollywood makes it seem.
