Celebrities vs. Reality

Walking through the store the other day and going to the check out; the first thing a person notices are the tabloids. Celebrities are constantly breaking up and hooking up at an increasing fast rate, they are gaining and losing weight, they are caught in an environment that is scandalous. I do not envy celebrities. In fact I feel sorry for celebrities. Their whole life is exposed to the world. Their mistakes are publicized, while an average person's life can be hidden. How do celebrities get on such a heightened pedistal? Why does society subject itself to placing these people at a higher level compaired to the rest of society? I think the problem originates at a young age. A person walks into a school hallway. People are divided into different groups. There are the jocks, the nerds, the emo's, etc. The division continues as adults through the various jobs that people pursue. This is food for thought, the next time you see a celebrity sign your name and hand them your autograph. :)
