One of my co-workers, back from a fabulous journey to Bali, told of sitting next to Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins at a native dance concert. We want the dish on the celebs.
Famous people are the new royalty.
Instead of kings and queens, we have movie stars, musicians, athletes, models, and, yes, politicians. Of course, fame isn't what it used to be. It doesn't last as long, and it's not as hard to achieve. A couple of years later you might be posing for Vanity Fair and creating a line of designer purses. Even devalued, though, fame is a seductive force.
