The Voice of celebrity!

I can hear the man, who many refer to as “the voice” of nature documentaries Sir David Attenborough: "Ah what do we have here? Its the very 'Common Paris Hilton', best known for its socialising, and promiscuous behaviour. A very docile creature that spends a lot of time on its back, mating. The Common Paris, as it is also known, is a nocturnal creature with distinct markings, a fake tan.
The world has finally bowed down to the celebrity…they are worshipped on Twitter, Facebook and the like by millions of people, and all other social media sites on an unparalleled level. Governments are lucky to get 30% voting turnouts, but these sites are inundated with people who want to know what Brittany Spears had for breakfast, or what Justin Timberlake thinks about football's offside rule.
Data from Compete.com to compare various social sites traffic found that Facebook has a growth of more than 200 percent in average unique monthly visitors. (Facebook itself releases data on the number of active users, which it estimates at 300 million, which, if it were a country, would be the world's fourth largest.)
Twitter was next 23.5 million, but with exponential growth of 660 percent. LinkedIn clocked in last at 15 million, and a still-respectable 85 percent growth rate.
Millions of people go online every second to celebrity worship. In fact a recent survey in the UK asked young kids what they wanted to be when they grew up? A spaceman? A cowboy? A firefighter? A politician? A lawyer? David Hasselhoff? Just kidding. Nope none of those…85% said they wanted to be a celebrity! The rest wanted to be in a band…
What does it mean to be a celebrity? Paris lives off the fame and coat tails of her dad the Hilton Hotel magnate, while Jade Goodey (RIP) proved that any Joe Bloggs off the street could become a celebrity too if you were a big enough and entertaining idiot.
The reality TV show is a chance for average Joe to get his or her five minutes of fame, to do something so outrageous so as to make their fame last longer….
There are plenty of other ways now to thanks to the Internet and social media….Youtube postings, viral media etc…
And of course celebrities fight whitened tooth and fake nail to stay on top of the pile and remain in the minds of the hungry masses, hence we know via twitter that Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas has a piece of dried appricott stuck in her teeth after eating her breakfast, and that Ashton Kutcher likes to lick Demi Moores left nipple!
Why else would celebrities name their offspring Moon Unit, Dweezle (Thanks Frank Zappa, er dad) or Apple? Its to get attention silly, and to give their children a head start in the world of celebrity!
My advice to kids is get a real job, you will not have the emptiness that these stars have when they reach the end of their sell by date! It may not be champers at the click of a finger, but your moral fibre will enrich you everyday and you will feel blessed for it!
