Monday Peeves … Celebrities

I don’t know which category to put this one honestly, lol. So I thought I would add it to Paula’s Monday Peeves.

What a disappointment celebrities have been this year.

I unfollowed Orlando Bloom recently, he posted that “obligatory” I stand with the Jewish community, here’s the thing. Bloom only follows about 1,500 people on Instagram. Kane West is one of them…I had a crush on him since like High School, so over 20 years…I’m so old, lol

Then we come to his “wife” Katy Perry. Herself and other’s wanted people to vote for Rick Caruso, by stating about the “homeliness” problem. Caruso was part of the Republicans, but suddenly switched to Democrats. He also, by sources, voted against same sex marriage and abortions. That wasn’t even what got me, Katy Perry and the other celebrities who endorsed him, are worth over a billion dollars. They could literally solve the homeless problem in Los Angeles, themselves. When was the last time you saw any of them at a soup kitchen.

Caruso lost.

All these middle aged celebrities telling us that Rowling isn’t the bigot, she is. Then hound the young ones who rightly stand up and say who/what she is.

Things I don’t understand…

*…Which I have to say is increasing, these things I don’t understand*

People who go into the Entertainment News section and complain about it not being “news”…When in literally every news-site and newspaper, there is global news…If you don’t like reading celebrity news, why are you reading celebrity news? Who put the gun to your head, that made you read that? I think you need to question those people, rather than the people who are writing about Celebrities and Entertainers in the Celebrity and Entertainment news section. Do they have trouble with understanding the differences between the news in each section?

It’s kind of like going to a clothing website and complaining how there’s no food on the website? Well, yeah, that’s the clothing section, not the food section.

OR/AND

People who complain about how unbiased a particular programme or channel is and YET keep watching expecting things to change, when they don’t have actually have to watch it. Yet, at the same time they don’t want to listen and change their minds, but they’re not being biased themselves? The weirdness of it all!

Are we putting celebrities at TO high of a standard?

In case you hadn’t noticed there’s been a lot of social conservation between certain celebrities. On top of that though some celebrities seem to be coming under attack if they don’t do what the public thinks they should be talking about. I’m starting to feel sorry for people in this “celebrity” industry.

This is the thing about becoming a celebrity, 90% of the time it’s pure luck that people will love you and like what you do. It’s not like with politics where they have a background in dealing with others, negotiating, that sort of thing. A lot of the time a celebrities that will send messages on their account on their behalf.

I do find it interesting how one can do or not do the same as another and one get completely condemned, while the other is hardly mentioned. If you hold one celebrity accountable, surely you should be holding the others accountable? Do we need a reality check on what we are asking these people? If they had to talk about every single issue there was out there, they would have to literally hire someone 24/7. I get that celebrities have this amazing platform, but what happened to speaking up for causes ourselves?

Did Martin Luther or Ghandi sit around waiting for a tweet telling them what to care about? No, they just spoke up for themselves. Maybe it’s time to take our power back, for ourselves…Why in this age do we keep relying on outside influences to tell us what to care, and what to do. Why? If there’s someone who you think should be saying more, don’t harass and shove it down their throats…That NEVER works…SHOW THEM!

Never Assume

This quote feels appropriate for this week…Especially with everything that has been in the internet from Harambe to the Johnny Depp, Amber Heard situation. Just try to remember people we don’t know everything…I can’t even begin to mention how many “celebrities” have suddenly become Gorilla ‘experts’. If you are going to listen to anyone, please listen to the actual experts in this field!
