These top celebrities are famous just for being famous. They are the source of entertainment for the public, as well as a lucrative investment for the paparazzi. A juicy photo of one of today's hottest Hollywood couples can earn a photographer thousands. Likewise, a photo of the latest Hollywood actress doing something out of the ordinary could sky rocket a magazine's popularity as soon as it hits the shelves. Any news coming out of Hollywood these days is an opportunity for making money.
HAIR TODAY, GONE TOMORROW
Celebrity news coverage seemed to hit a maximum in 2007. There were DUI's, pregnancies, famous weddings, numerous fashion and fragrance lines started by just about every top rated movie star out there. Celebrities even made headlines in 2007 for their hairstyles and fashion.
Britney Spears made the word weave popular by wearing a badly done example of one on her head. British singer Amy Winehouse also became a household name because of her outrageous hairstyle and those ridiculous ballet slippers she seemed to wear EVERYWHERE. Her photo's were plasterded all over the latest tabloids with headlines that eluded to her horrible fashion sense and just when was she going to go to rehab?So is this the price to pay for being a celebrity? How can a famous movie star or celebrity hold on to some sense of privacy in their lives and still be famous?
Lets talk about stars like Johnny Depp, Denzel Washington, Sean Penn, and Jennifer Connelly for instance, who we all know but are almost out of the puplic eye completely. These stars try to live their lives as normal as they possibly can. They use thier resources to shield themselves and their families from the glare of the media and keep their names out of the latesr t.v entertainment headlines.
GILLIGAN'S ISLAND MAYBE?
Gilligan had his own island that was away from civilization, so why not today's celebs?
For many stars, a move out of the country is one way to get "some" privacy. Johnny Depp for example owns his own Private Island in the Bahamas called Little Halls Pond Cay. Some
other stars that have private islands of their own are: Mel Gibson, Nicholas Cage, Robin Williams, Julia Roberts and Steven Spielberg. He also resides with his wife Vanessa Paradis and their two children in France. Depp is considered one of the biggest stars out there, yet he remains out of the spotlight. Just how does he do it?
JUST BEING ME
To lead normal lives, a move out of the country isn't always necessary. Actress Jennifer Connelly is one example of just being the average person. Though she has been acting since she was a child (she was in the movie Labyrinth with David Bowie), Jennifer has continued to stay out of the tabloids. She lives in New York with her husband, actor Paul Bettany and their two children. Besides being an actress, she has even dabbled in music (releasing a Japanese single "Monologue of Love" in the mid 1980's). She keeps herself busy and out of the headlines by doing the things that she loves, not the things that get her into magazines (click here to read more about her). Contrary to her private lifestyle, she has just been named the new face of the fashion line Balenciaga. So with stars like these that show that they can live somewhat normal lives without being in the media everyday and still be known and adored by fans, it makes me wonder do stars like Paris, Britney and Lindsey choose to make themselves victims of the latest Breaking Hollywood news. What are your thoughts? I'd love to hear them..
Till Next time..I'm Outski!
