Don't get me wrong

In my last post I described how my view of Ashley Olsen is now somewhat tainted by my knowledge of the machinery that goes into making her a celebrity. But don't get me wrong, I still am a fan. I never was a die hard fan, but that's just not in my personality, but I still buy the magazines when I see she is in them. I wonder if this says something about our culture. Even though I know there is a lot of calculation and planning that goes behind Ashley and what she does, wears, appears... I mean as much as she is a style icon, she probably has her own stylist... I still fall into the trap of wanting to see pictures of her. Are we that deprived of substantial entertainment to stoop to the low level of celebrity entertainment? Maybe instead of caring what Ashley Olsen is wearing or on a grander scale, what celebrities are doing, we should focus on being proactive and achieving something for ourselves... instead of vicariously living through what celebrities have accomplished or done.
