Celebrities, we can’t get enough of them. They have a profound grip on our psyche. Fashion, food, appearance, weight, preference, all influenced by this small group of super people called Celebrities. Everyone has their favorite, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Angelina Jolie, Britney Spears, Halle Berry, Madonna, Tom Cruise, and the list goes on.
My favorite Celebrity, is not a rock star, or movie star, it’s, Donny Deutsch, host of the Big Idea, a financial show on CNBC. You might chuckle a bit, but he makes my toes curl, and I hang on his every word. Every day (Monday through Friday) At 6:59pm (EST) time stops, I stop taking phone calls, God forbid there is an emergency, I’m the last person one should count on. I put on my Victoria Secret pajamas, for maximum comfort, set a large cup of water, on the table, along with a good pen, notebook paper, wrap myself up in my favorite blanket, and wait eagerly for all the commercials to end, and at about 7:02pm Donny appears on the tube, and my heart flutters. You could say I am one of his biggest fans, disciple, had he an entourage, I’d probably be one of his groupies.
The “Celebrity Factor” is quiet addicting; these people control the choices we make. We mimic their behavior. Thank goodness Donny’s not a rock star or rapper, I’d be in trouble. When a celebrity behaves badly we behave badly, when they set good examples we ordinary people, at least try to live up to their high standards.
Celebrity Divorce; is at an all time high, & according to The Americans for Divorce Reform estimates that "Probably, 40 or possibly even 50 percent of marriages will end in divorce if current trends continue." I blame the rise in relationship breakups, including divorce on the “Celebrity Factor”. If Celebrity couples stayed together longer, we would follow their lead, and possibly overlook our grouchy spouse, appreciate the extra pounds, and minuscule paychecks in other words, our relationships would last too, and the divorce rate would decrease. “I blame Celebrities for our lonely loveless lives”.
If you think blaming Celebrities for relationship problems, far fetched, just look at the other affects Celebrities have on us. Perfect examples are the affects Paris Hilton, Mel Gibson, and a slew of other Celebrity Drunk Drivers, have on D.U.I. I remember when D.U.I once was a serious crime and the M.A.D.D organization made us mad? Until Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie’s out of control drunk driving spree, over night made it glamorous. In-fact, is it even a crime to drive drunk anymore? Paris and Nicole’s celebrity status made more drunk drivers out of us.
Celebrity Divorces like Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen’s, The Hogan’s, Shaquille & Shaunie O’Neal, David Hasselhoff and wife of sixteen years Pamela Bach, Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger, intrigues us.
Details of Paul McCartney and Heather Mills marital troubles, and ultimate divorce went global. As much as we hated Heather, we were intrigued by her bold stance, to leave a “Beetle”, a man who could afford to give her the world, had she behaved, and followed the rules. She gave us the permission to finally call up our not so famous lawyer, and demand he rid us of our guy. We got caught up in the moment, and when Heather demanded half of Paul’s Billions, we demanded half from our spouse, although Heathers settlement was on the far end of the spectrum, while most of us new divorcee’s would have to get a job, none the less, we were part of the Celebrity Lifestyle.
Why shouldn’t we blame our high divorce rate on Celebs, sure it’s not a product they willfully promote, or is it? Celebrities know they are our role models, and they are responsible for us. If they fail at love, then we’ll fail. I think a little more effort and patience with their spouses is in order. They should start by picking their life partner, more carefully, so as not to confuse us, we can’t keep up!
If Pamela Anderson choose her men more carefully, instead of just getting married 90 hours after being proposed to by Tommy Lee, then maybe we wouldn’t jump the broom with the guy who bought us a $4.00 drink and who we had mediocre sex with a month before. But then can you really compare our bad luck to Pam’s Jackpot. If Tommy asked any one of us, hand in marriage wouldn’t we roll the marriage dice?
None the less if a man can pry himself away from perfect women like Heather Locklear, Halley Berry, Denise Richards, or supermodel Christy Brinkley, who are we average and below looking women to gripe when our guy takes off with a younger, prettier version of us. If Dylan McDermott and Paul McCartney couldn’t hold on to their wives for God sake, then you men out their with average looks making less the 100 million a year should be proud if a woman even sneezes on you, let alone one who’ll put up with you for more than a year.
The millions of dollars Celebrities spend on Extravagant weddings, one would expect that would buy matrimonial immortality, but if their cake soured, what chance do we have. I believe however, that most celebrities, get hitched with the intent to live happily ever after, but the distraction is insurmountable. We’re lucky if we get one good looking neighbor on the block; imagine being surrounded by beautiful, rich people.
If great looks, millions in the bank and celebrity status does not insure marital bliss, then is divorce imminent? Is marriage the prelude, and divorce the ultimate orgasm?
