Really? Really. Ugh.

“I’m tired of pretending I’m not a total bitchin’ rock star from Mars.” – Charlie Sheen

Topical Tuesdays

I have a few friends who like to blog – a few I’ve been in blog projects with before, and we all love to write! Each of us are on a different journey within our separate lives, but want to continue to share the blogging journey with each other! We’re going to take turns coming up with a topic every Tuesday and we each have to blog about it by the end of that day and then we will post links to each others’ blogs. That way we can each share our different perspectives on the same topic with each other, and any readers that are interested in what we have to say!

My fellow bloggers are:

Sara asked us:  I want to know which celebrity you are really sick of and why…

There are three that irk me.  Three that just make my skin CRAWL when I think of them.  That make me just want to scream, “SHUT UP!!!  DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT NORMAL IS?!”  That make me think, if that is what celebrity is about, who wants it?

First:  Charlie Sheen.  The man is living in a world of crazy.  Perhaps he is putting on a show.  Perhaps he isn’t.  Why does he feel the need to be “Winning”?  He is one cocky SOB, and I don’t enjoy hearing about how crazy he has gotten, or worse.  His brother Emilio hasn’t gone off the deep end, so perhaps it isn’t familial.  I feel so horrible for his children.  What kind of questions are they going to be asked when they go to school?  “Hey, what is your Dad on today??”  ”Your Dad is crazy.  You can see it in his eyes.”  “Does he think he’s funny?  ’Cuz he’s just being creepy and annoying.”  If I was his kid, I would crawl in a hole and hide.  But, you can’t do that when you are the kid of a major celebrity, especially one that is bat-crazy like Mr. Sheen.  The paparazzi is everywhere.  How does he not see his actions as being what we “normal” people consider insane and that of a total maniac?  How can he get away with it?  If someone I knew and loved started acting like that, we would go through an intervention and then subsequently, put them in a nut house, right?! 

Second:  Mel Gibson.  COME ON.  Again, another celebrity who has gone crazy.  The problem with these two, is they ALSO have been charged for beating their signficant others.  WHAT?!  What planet do we live on that this is considered “OKAY” by celebrity standards??  “Yeah, I’m super rich and famous, so I can beat my wife/girlfriend/lover/acquaintance/stripper/paid prostitute and get away with it!”  Who has all those things anyway?  Oh, yeah, Mel & Charlie - all at once.  Sick.  What get’s me most, is that at one time (I’m sure he would still say he was), Mel Gibson thought of himself as a Christian.  Wow.  It hurts my soul to think that people think Christians are accepting of this behaviour.  You know when they say that you have to reach rock bottom to realize your faults and it can only go up from there?  Yeah….  Well, Mel.  Don’t you think you’ve hit rock bottom yet?  You are despised by most of the female population for your antics.

Third:  Tom Cruise.  UGH.  Could the man be any weirder?  He seems charming and handsome, and he’s a relatively good actor, and I actually can say that I have enjoyed films that he’s been in recently, BUT – Scientology is a bit of a stretch for me.  Want the low-down on what it is?  Check it out here:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientologyhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientology

What is interesting to me, is that a bunch of celebs have jumped on that crazy bandwagon!!  “Yes, we all believe in a religion based off of a Science-Fiction Novel.”  SHEEP!!!!  What makes sense about this?  How is experiencing painful and traumatic events of my past going to help me be a better person?  What’s past is past, let’s all just move on from here?!  And Tom, what on earth have you done to that beautiful and vivacious Kate Holmes?  She looks like a hollow shell of a woman now.  Just blank stares and haunting eyes.

Honestly, I try not to keep up with the annoying celeb gossip.  I keep up with births and the silly names that all of the celebs think up.  I keep up with the sad and tragic deaths that happen, and what a sadness it brings that we might have lost an icon to the entertainment world.  But…  it’s just that.  It is completely entertainment.  It is not normal life.  I can sit back, and look at it as a movie, and that these three are the archenemies of some wonderful heroine that saves the day.  I can just sit back and laugh, because it is NOT my life.

I am sad though, for the lives that interact with them, and how hurtful it can be…  How hard it can be to be a child growing up in a toxic environment.  Look at what happened to Michael Jackson.  What a sad world he lived in…  So alone.

Growing up famous.  Certainly not “winning”.
