Notes About Games

Americans, and indeed many people around the world, are hooked on celeb gossip and gossip. Apparently, this Hollywood star worship continues to grow. We will discern reasons for this phenomenon:

Identity– Here an individual identifies with a selected celebrity. This is the image and personality she or he want to be in the imagination. Even the meek and beaten down can dream about being Bruce Willis or Sylvester Stallone defeating the bad guys in high style. How many coming of age baby boomers wished they were Elvis, a Beatle–or Ann Margaret?

Though most celebrity seekers aren’t depressed, this plays into the celebrity targeted life. It’s enjoyable for the person to see pictures of very tasty and well-known stars and it is a break from daily routine activities.

Esteem Build-Up– we have all done it even if we all know it isn’t our best moment. We feel briefly good about a star’s messy and extremely public life, particularly for a multi million buck earner with many adoring fans.

Entertainment Tonight started broadcasting in 1981 and set the baseline for slick and fast-paced half hour episodes targeting Hollywood reports with attention on debatable star behaviour. And superstars still make of the bulk of late night shows’ guest lists. Many younger fans get their stories basically from the Net.
