Celebrity Crazy
Too bad couldnt see Troy today..All shows are full :( ... Brad Pitt was on Charlie Rose last night. After watching the interview I learnt that Brad Pitt is really interested in architecture ...Was that interesting to me ? Should it be ? Why ? I guess what I am hinting at is why are so many people celebrity obsessed. It is true that they might know much more than a movie star than their neighbors. Why should their personal lives be soo interesting to everyone ? Is it because we would want to be in their shoes and we are trying to live our fantasy life through them ?
A related event in India was when millions of women were so taken with the character Mihir in the serial "Kyonkee sans.. " that he had to be brought back when he was killed in a serial .. The "bahu", Smriti Irani actually ran for election in India this time ( though she lost ) and ofcourse several famous hindi actors and actresses have won elections this time ( Dharmendra, JayaPradha, Vinod Khanna, Sunil Dutt , Moushami Chatterjee and many more) ..Even Navjot Singh Sidhu, the former Indian opener also won and election.. I need to write more about the elections and I have some definite thought about them..
Meanwhile DO watch Ash at Cannes here ..this type of celebrity watching I DO approve :) ¶ permalink

abt celebrity obsession and the reasons why: i think it's because you feel you own them. esp actors. you see them laugh,cry,choke,bleed,kiss,get mad..live life in front of you in 70 mm..so subconsciously you feel you know everything abt them, and everything they do in REAL life should be made known to you as well. therefore, i know that- Sharukh's fave book is "the hitchiker's guide to the galaxy", that out of all his own movies, his favourite is "kabhi haan, kabhi naa"...and a hundred other trivial details that i've soaked in over the years..:)
