Television Entertainment News programs keep us up o date on all the latest antics and activities of celebs and all the "beautiful people".
Other programs show us how we can "improve" our looks by nipping and tucking.
Even mainstream news programs, including the venerable Larry King devote hours very day to report on stars who get out of their cars wearing no undies, and who comes and goes into rehab.
Why do none of the beautiful celebs resemble anyone on my street, in my family or even in my city? Each one of these people has a sculpted body and fits into size 1 for women or size 28 for men.
Do these people come from a different gene pool than the general population? Do these two or three hundred people represent the entire world population in their appearance and their behaviors?
The entertainment business and it is a business, after all, manufactures, markets and sells their products to the rest of us. Movies are a product in the same way as sausages and toothpaste, which people buy and the more tickets or DVD's are sold, the more money and profit is made.
TV programs are a medium used to sell advertising commercials.
The people used in these media, are used to reflect our fantasies, desires and expectations so the production companies which hold their contracts keep their stable of performers in the forefront by manufacturing so-called news about them and their relationships to gain the attention of the customers who will buy the tickets or DVD's of their next movie or TV show.
In the early days of Hollywood movies, the studios owned, and published the movie magazines to publicize the same foolish antics we see today in the so called entertainment news programs.
These people, in my view are not representative of the general population in their lifestyle, appearance or behaviors.
The rest of us are people with asymmetrical body parts, balding hair lines, and chubby cheeks. We all work for a living, live among family and friends with whom we share genuine common interests and in whom we find comfort and support.
Is there any good reason for those of us in the general population to want to imitate what the celebs say and do?
