“Celebrities”. I hate that word.
Monday, August 30th, 2010
Anyone that knows me personally knows that I have a strong stance on “celebrities”. I hate that word with such passion. I really think that the general public idolizes “celebrities” when there is nothing to idolize. “Celebrities” should be praised, in a sense, for what they do. “She’s a GREAT singer.” “I think he’s an AMAZING actor.” Whatever. But when you look at someone like Lindsay Lohan and can say, without laughing, that you’re ‘disappointed’, you’re living a sad life. An actor/musician/artist/etc. is just that! I understand that so many people look up to them, but I think that should only be done in reference to their talent. Like Lindsay for example: If you thought she was a good actress, great. But, she’s only human. And a young girl, at that. You have to figure she’s going to drink, experiment with drugs, sex, and life in general. People fuck up. It’s in our nature. Some people are more stable and just better people all together, hence the reason the public should stop IDOLIZING “celebrities”. It’s ridiculous! They’re only HUMAN!!!
I was born and raised in Southern California, and I’ve spend the past 6 or so years of my life in Los Angeles. Like any girl, I’ve dated. I’ve been out on the town. Hell, I’ve been around. I’ve made friends with a lot of people who you would say are in the public eye, and through them I’ve met and made friends with more people and I’ve done things that some people will only ever dream of. No, I’m not trying to brag or throw that in anyone’s face, but I will make a point. I’ve met so many people that friends and family members have looked up to or idolized and have only been let down and disappointed. I will not pull a typical Jayden Jaymes move and start naming names given the sensitive nature, but I’ve seen athletes/musicians/actors/etc. do things that would damage their careers if these people that ‘idolize’ them knew. Sex addictions, cocaine, opiates, pipes, needles… EVERYTHING.
I’m not one to judge because I’ve done plenty of questionable things. But my point is that the public puts “celebrities” up on a pedestal and even they don’t agree with it. They’re HUMAN! I can’t say it enough! They’re just people with a specific talent and they shouldn’t be judged on anything more than that. Period.
So what brought on this rant? More “celebrities”. lol.
I’m sitting in a hotel room, on a family vacation, and due to my unforeseen surgery on my leaked implant on Friday, I’m in no condition to spend a day on a boat with my family… In the hot sun while on Vicodin… Bouncing around. I’m stuck in bed with my laptop and bad cable and this new show in E! comes on, The Spin Crowd. ‘Reality TV’, supposedly. I hate reality TV. It’s not ‘reality’. If it’s reality, show these people falling, farting, without makeup… and without professional lighting! lol. Anyway, so here’s just another show about, well, these “celebrities” that everyone look up to, who hire these people at this PR firm to get press to whatever it is that they’re doing. Whatever. These people on this show are so annoying! It came on and I had to change the channel. It was so over the top! The ‘personalities’ are so fake and they’re arguing about… well… NOTHING.
So, I’m sitting, staring blankly at this lame show thinking: Great! Here’s another ‘reality show’ about “celebrities” that’ll make the rest of the world IDOLIZE these people just because they wipe the asses of “celebrities” and do their best to make sure the press doesn’t get a pic of the bag of blow that was in someone’s purse. It’s retarded. So I wrote on twitter:
Funny, 10 minutes later, the guy that runs this PR firm and I guess the ‘main character’ of this show writes back on twitter:
JonathanCheban: @XXXJaydenJaymes calm down jenna jameson NOT!
So this guy, Jonathan Cheban, this ‘big Hollywood guy’ that the world is going to IDOLIZE because he has a TV show produced by Kim Kardashian, has absolutely nothing to do on a Monday morning that he’s actually searching his TV show on Twitter and responding to people’s tweets about it?! WOW!!! How fucking LAME is that! That’s like someone Googling themselves! Which, funny, I’ve seen done SO MANY TIMES by these “celebrities”! So, my response to Mr. Cheban was nothing big:
It’s actually really sad! Here you are, friends with Kim Kardashian, someone who sold her own sex tape to get famous and lies about it, a beautiful girl who has done wonders for herself by paying people like you to make sure she’s in the tabloids to keep it up and keep money in her pocket, uses her name to get you and your ‘successful business’ a TV show, yet you have nothing better to do with your time and you search yourself on Twitter and respond to so-called haters.
So, again, the public needs to stop obsessing over these Hollywood people. They’re normal people with NO LIVES and no hobbies other than themselves! (While I’m at it, I mean no offense to Kim Kardashian. She’s taken a ‘sex tape’ above and beyond and built this empire using people like Jonathan Cheban. She’s worth millions, selling her face and body. Hey, sex sells! I’m in adult films, I know this! Good for her for taking advantage of it. But again, to IDOLIZE… It’s insane. Enjoy it, it’s entertainment. Take it for what it is.)
And one more thing to touch on. Why do people respond to ‘haters’? You hear it all the time: “Fuck the haters.” “I don’t care what the haters think.” “Just prove the haters wrong.” Hell, maybe people are gonna call me a hater for just sitting here venting on pop culture, but whatever. Maybe Mr. Cheban thought I was talking shit on his show and felt the need to respond. That’s just my opinion. Who am I? No one. Who cares what I think about your show on E!. But this guy actually felt the need to respond. And, after glancing at his Twitter page (hell, if he stalks himself, I might as well take a peek!), he responds to a lot of the shit people say. WHY?! WHo cares?! Just do you and fuck what others think!
That reminds me of a situation last week: My friend Skrape posts on Twitter something about holding contesting and how ghetto it’d be to give away gear but charge shipping, as Jenna Jameson was apparently doing. (Skrape hold contests with his followers in reference to UFC fights, and the first person to determine the fights correctly wins some gear. Well, I guess Jenna Jameson was doing a contest or two, giving away a free shirt, but saying that the winner had to pay shipping.) I agree with my friend. It’s a little sad to charge the winner of a contest, that you willingly held, shipping of a t-shirt. It’s funny. I guess Jenna jumped on it and her entire Twitter page was full of her defending herself to everyone talking shit. And I mean EVERY POST was her defending herself. WOW! I may be on my friend’s side, but why would you do that?! Again, who cares what people think of you??? And why would you feed into it?!?! We all know that’s what they want and it’s just going to instigate more shit and it’ll never end!
ARGH!!!
So, the lesson behind my venting here: Do not idolize “celebrities”. Respect them for whatever talent it is that they have, and leave it at that. Second: Don’t feed into hate. Do your own thing, be proud of yourself, and don’t pay attention to what others people say or think about you. It’s LAME!!! (And so is my blog! Who cares what I think?!?!?! LOL!)
