If Jacob were to wrestle with the angel today, the angel's name would be Celebrity. It takes away your privacy. The prying reporter, the gossip monger, the yellow journalist - all conspire to invade the privacy of individuals and make everything public. Whom the gods would destroy they first make famous. But when movie stars complain about what moral reprobates the paparazzi are, I don't take out my handkerchief and weep.
Celebrity brings enormous rewards, too.
It brings money and fame. But Princess Diana is an example of how it can also bring death. So is Marilyn. Both women were to some extent killed as a result of their celebrity, in Diana's case by trying to outrun the paparazzi. Celebrity also changes your relationships with your children and your parents.
