Celebrity-The annoying obsession

Here is another thing that really annoys me. Celebrity. If you look in one of these magazines all you see is tat like how Angelina Jolie has adopted another little African boy or how Wayne Bridge has refused to shake John Terry's hand because he slept with Bridge' wife. Oh and guess what! Lady Gaga is releasing a new single that's going to be "Awesome." Give me a break. The only thing awesome about Gaga is that she still has a fan base after recording all the tripe that somehow gets into the charts despite being entirely synth, auto tune and strange lyrics that are mainly sexual innuendo. No Gaga, I don't care how sick the beat is, do you actually want to take a ride on my disco stick.

It's this whole celebrity culture that has made the world how it is today. And it upsets me. Mainly because celebrities seem to think they are so much better than us ordinary people. Just because they can sing a bit, or kick a ball about, or speak dialogue into a camera. What actually makes them think that they deserve to be where they are today? Mega rich, spoiled egos that stroll around in their mansions, their only worries are centred around what to wear in front of the paparazzi or when there next pay check is going to get to them. I don't blame the paparazzi for taking endless photos or these people because at least they're actually working hard to earn a living and giving the celebrities that annoy us all something to get upset about. "Oh, why must they keep taking photos of me. My life is awful." Sure your life if awful. At least you've got a house and clothes and a flash car when there are starving children in Africa that are dying while their parents die of aids at the same time. And should I tell you something celebrities. They've probably never heard of you.

Ok admittedly I'm not professing to be some kind of saint. I don't give all my money to charity and spend my time campaigning for freedom and liberty. But I don't pretend that I'm all that bothered with that stuff. I admit that I'm selfish and that I take granted for the things I have but celebrities all seem to think that they are God's gift to humanity.

This video shows that exactly.

Well done Paxman for putting people in there place. Sting is no environmentalist. He just wants to get some good publicity so he can plug his new album and look selfless and righteous. This really annoys me. Admittedly Paxman is a celebrity and I'm not having a go at him. Paxman thinks he's better than all of us, but lets face it, he is better than us. He is pompus but he is admirable at the same time and in my opinion every celebrity should be a bit more like Jeremy Paxman.

So there it is, celebrity and why it annoys me. If you enjoyed this post then please follow my blog.
