Celebrities and Social Media

Okay folks, for fun, I just have to share some observations I’ve made about celebrities and social media. I have a select few celebrities I follow. I have a rule, it’s got to be someone that I love what they do now and what made them a celebrity to begin with (music, movies, t.v., sports). They need to do something else with their lives, something meaningful. Basically, they need to be good people who take what they’ve been fortunate enough to earn in life and use it to help those less fortunate.  There are a few others I follow for the laughs they offer on a daily basis.  

 

So, why do we follow them?

It’s fascinating isn’t it. They are intriguing. We want to see what they are like when they are just being themselves, when they are normal, everyday people, just like you and me. If you are like me, you may comment or like but you know they most likely won’t receive your comment or like. I mean, could you imagine having 500,000 or over a million people tweeting you, posting to you, commenting on your posts, liking your pictures? Do our cellphones even have enough battery charge in a day to keep up with that many notifications? If anything I feel guilty, every comment or tweet I make is one more they have to sift through to read the ones from their actual friends and family. No wonder so many of them don't read them or have a team to do so.

By the way, I'm for hire for that job...LOL! I kid. I'm not sure I'd want to see all those sides of people.

 

 

How about some of the stuff people post; I think I would be hiding out in my house if I did read some of these things. Let’s laugh at some of them, shall we: 

 

One of my all time favorites – when I read this one I died laughing and at the same time had a totally disgusted look on my face (yes, it’s possible, just wait)

 

“you’re so hot, I want to eat your face off”

Hey chic, I don’t know what bath salts you’ve been sniffing lately but that is extremely off mark. I can also 99.99% guarantee, your celeb is the last person you’ll ever hear from after a comment like that. 

 

Some more good ones:

 

“I’ve sent you a tweet every hour of every day for the last 1 billion years,

could you please just re-tweet me”

 Hmmm…nothing better to do with your life?

 

“It would make my birthday if you sent me a tweet”

Wonder what your significant other who just spent a small fortune on your bday gift would think if they knew all they had to do is tweet you “Happy Birthday” and then sign your fav celeb’s name instead of their own. LOL!

 

“I love you. Will you marry me” – Right because people typically do it that way.

 

“Why don’t you ever notice me” – Oh, I don't know..because I'm busy entertaining trillions of people around the world & on my off time I'm running charities and helping people who actually need something they are lacking in life; like clothing, food, shelter.

 

“When are you going to come visit me”

“take me with you”

Maybe because they are people, just like you and me, with friends and family to visit or take.

 

“I just found out XX doesn’t even read these and here I’ve been trying to connect with them all this time”

They already have a job and news flash, it's not reading trillions of social media items. 

 

I think it’s so funny to read some of these. It’s quite entertaining. I don’t get a lot of time to read this stuff, I have a hard enough time keeping up with my own profiles, posts, comments, and tweets but when I have a moment to catch up on my social media I am amazed at how, well, at how pathetic some people are. In a way, it’s worse than the paparazzi. Instead of being needy fan stalkers, how about being respectful fans who appreciate the simple fact they have even provided us with the privilege to have a look within their fascinating lives. Instead of telling them we want to “eat their face off” hahaha cracks me up..how about supporting their charities and helping them do good by getting behind the causes they support.  

 

I hope you’ve enjoyed my little rant. I would love to hear some of your favorites, things you’ve read and wondered “what the heck” or laughed out loud about.
