Take Fiona Apple. After winning an MTV music award, she got up to the microphone and denounced the world, saying it was a horrible place because of Princess Diana's death. People die everyday, Fiona, and yes, while Princess Diana's death was a tragedy, little families who don't make half as much as you suffer even greater tragedies and get no international sympathy. Or take Christian Slater. After doing some time for hitting his girlfriend, he comes back on the scene, gracing the cover of Jane magazine, to preach his newfound godliness.
Celebrities are too rich and idolized too much by our society.
They are self-absorbed little bastards who have little regard for the people who idolize them. Yes, capitalism is a great governmental system because we are given the freedom to pursue our interests and make as much money as we can, but sometimes I wish someone could put a cap on the salaries of celebrities so they would know a little more about what the real world is like. And then celebrities, especially the ones in the entertainment industry, go on to complain about how the media follows them around and people give them no personal space. They knew this before they became celebrities. In fact, this is what lured the ones in the entertainment industry to seek the spotlight.
