I find that many 'celebrities' and also quite well known actors are becoming unrecognisable to me and I'm sure it's to do with surgery, or maybe make up which makes them all look the same. Also the men all have those beards now! I have a huge poster of 'Little Mix' at the top of my stairs courtesy of DGDs and try as I might I cannot remember their names or distinguish between them. I would not recognise them if they knocked at my door!!
Having said that I have been watching the documentary about Jade Goody, one of the original 'Big Brother' celebrities. The way she was manipulated and how the press portrayed her was horrifying and cruel. Still on the back of her 'celebrity' she did work hard and make lots of money for her family so all credit to her, coming from such a terrible background. She did try to better herself till her sad death at such a young age. I could not help but feel sorry for her but yet at the same time I felt admiration for her tenacity.
We have to remember they may be celebrities but they are also people, many of them quite vulnerable. Maybe meeting them in person might present us a with different, more sympathetic picture.
