It's hard to believe how much time we -- as a people / country / world -- spend, neck deep in the lives of movie stars, celebrities, public figures, and how much MONEY and wasted time we spend reading, watching, commenting on their lives, and making our judgements -- paying homage to the institutionalized GoSSip industry.
If we spent this same time and effort in our own lives, buying and reading things to improve our own lot, enhance our own minds and better our own situations, I dare say we wouldn't have time to care what happened last week with Brittany or Paris whoever...
Become ENGAGED in creating, managing, and enhancing your own life... then you won't need to feed on the gossip from someone else's.
Enjoy another awesome day...

Well put, Kelvin. Just a few minutes ago, out of curiosity, I let myself read a CNN entertainment news entry, that couldn't have been more of a time waster! A minute I'll never get back, but I'm grateful that it was only a minute and that between it and your message, I learned a good lesson! Thanks, Kelvin! Sue
Too true - but I wish the media would realize we really don't care that much about what the various vacuous celebreties are doing!
Well, the problem is... people DO care, and they keep watching and buying and living in that space. If no one was watching / buying it... they wouldn't be publishing it ;-) I can safely safe they're not publishing it for ME :-D LOL.
Wow! I was just explaining to someone last night that Michael Jackson will make more money than the average person alive because most people have more interest in a dead person than in actually living their own life.
It is sad, but true, that most people focus on the "show" of the lives of others than the "business" of running their own lives.
Enjoy being ENGAGED today.
Butterfly... You should have your own song :-) Thank you for your comment my friend. ENGAGED!!! Me and Jean Luc Picard. We're on it. Hugs!
That is such an excellent point! Too many people don't love themselves and welcome the distraction of thinking about someone else instead of themselves and the reality they have created.
Guess we're back to self-love again. :o)
Sophie... yes. We're so conditioned by society that we shouldn't love ourselves because it's selfish, or conceited or self-absorbed, we don't realize that if we don't love ourselves, we really have nothing to offer to the other person. Difficult to give something you don't have. Thank you for your comment.
I have been trying to tell this to people forever!! Don't buy into it and then they won't have a market! People are so bored with their own lives, they have to research what actors/actresses are doing?
You nailed it right on the head with your point....well written!!
Great point! You nailed it right on the head, well written. I have felt the same way about this. All the ladies at my work bring those tabloid magazines in weekly and they are all up to date on who's dating who and half the time I don't even know what they're talking about. I catch myself looking at one here or there at my lunch break, out of boredom and I feel as if I'm stalking someone after I read it.
My grandma was from Europe and she always said "why do you Americans care about actors/actresses personal lives? In Europe actors/actresses did their job: They acted! And that was the extent of it. We didn't care which one of them was taking too many drugs!"
Nicely said, KR!
Thank you, Mary! I appreciate the feedback. Have an awesome day.
