Obama may have made history this year with the 2008 election, but Britney Spears lands at the top for the most searched celebrity figure on the internet. This article discusses it in detail. The truth is that it is no surprise. Paparazzi and the public want to know the best and especially the worst about what goes on in the lives of celebrities. Maybe it's fun and relieving to see our celebrities go up in smoke with the rumors and the negative coverage. Rehab? Who's dating who? Who's doing who or not doing who? What did this person do to her kid? What is the latest scoop on the person? Latest project? The public wants to know. You and I want to know.
I admit that I will once in a while get sucked into the Entertainment Tonight and Inside Edition shows. For the most part, the shows repeat the same information about all the latest super star gossip. BUT I get sucked in anyway. Is it because I'm glad to know that my life is more balanced than some of these megastars and that makes me feel better? Knowing that having fame and riches doesn't mean that these celebrities have a better life than me? It's all psychology, folks. We either sit and watch and envy these super stars OR we say, "I like my life. I wouldn't want that even if it came with fame and riches." Does that make sense?
So, who or what did you Google today?
