(POSTED FOR OCONNOR)
Why do we obsess over celebrities? Is it because they write and sing our favorite songs, play our favorite sports, or because they're in our favorite movies? That could be some reasons to like those people. When an obsession becomes a job, it's a bit carried away. I think that given an opportunity to interview a celebrity and have that as a job would be great but "paparazzi" turn it into a game for more then just themselves. They've created a world full of lies about people. Standing in line at the store, accessing an email home page, or looking any place else on the internet I have found multiple things about some celebrity. Usually a picture is the first thing to be drawn to, and paparazzi know how to make it work. Seeing a picture can tell you an entire story about the person in the picture. The paparazzi can make people look really bad, and that's thanks to technology! many celebrities' careers have been poisoned by the paparazzi and their pictures. Just looking at some magazines can give off this image that ruins my thoughts about the person. If I'm on a website the picture usually says something inappropriate on the side. The comment that is so inappropriate can make the celebrity seem wrong in some ways.
this website has shown me pictures that make me think twice about some celebrities. Knowing that they don't have a great reputation in the first place I was not surprised. But when I saw the video screens I was in no shock at all. Paris Hilton was one of the first video pictures that I was drawn to. Paris Hilton defiantly is not friends with the paparazzi; they have changed her to be a party hard girl. Her previously shown television show doesn't make her seem like that at all. Even if she claims to party the paparazzi have made it over exaggerated. That shows the paparazzi and its power in America.
Do to some websites vulgarity I was unable to use there work. The paparazzi and the media as a whole have made sex their main topic. In America today sex sells to all age groups even if younger children don't know it their favorite television shows are filled with sexual humor and gestures. I have seen cartoon network use sexual humor on more than one occasion and that is displeasing. The paparazzi can't control television to any extent but that's where the media takes over for them.
The paparazzi have created this big power of lies and fear for the celebrities. The only thing that can be done is that people who are in the eye of America need to watch out. Even if in some cases like Tyra Banks that could not help it other people do stupid things just to be scene in the lime light. Tyra Banks had the power of her television show to fight against the paparazzi and eventually won with the truth. If you don't know Tyra banks was out in a swimming suit and paparazzi had taken a picture and destroyed her beautiful voluminous body with Photoshop work. Tyra as a former Victoria's Secret model most certainly was not fat. So the paparazzi lost against Tyra her incorrect pictures.
