Discourses in the Celebrity community.
Everywhere
we go we’re constantly surrounded by tabloids and juicy gossip on the world of celebrities.
It seems like there’s nowhere to go or hide from all the drama happening in Hollywood.
However, we can only blame ourselves for these headlines. Let’s face it; we’re
infatuated with the world of the unknown. We know so much about celebrities yet
so little about their personal lives. We’ve all picked up a magazine that has a
big headline about celebrities such Brangelina, Justin Bieber, and ton more. It
makes you wonder why ordinary people are so interested in business of other
people they don’t know. Is it because they’re lives are so glossy and fabulous compared
to everyone’s seemingly bland lives? Or is it that we secretly enjoy seeing
others stuck in situation instead ourselves. Maybe it’s all of the above. But
one thing for sure is the lives of celebrities and the interest it creates
makes revenue. It’s come to the point
where careers are made from just following the lives of people who are unknown
to us.
In a celebrity
discourse community, it seems like privacy is something that’s always invaded.
With more and more technology these days, celebrities’ emails and other
personal social media sites such as twitter are being hacked with the one
purpose to find information. It comes to
the point where we must ask ourselves is it ‘right’? Is it okay to invade
someone’s privacy because they are pushed into the public eye? The public and
media think it’s just fine; the constant quote “it comes with the job” is
always being thrown. It’s difficult to imagine what it’s like being followed
with cameras and harassed with questions, but it doesn’t seem pleasant. Yet
this unknown world is why people continue to become curious about the lives of celebrities.
