More and more people seems to be reaching for the stars. Just look at the amount of people who attends the talents shows for television shows like Idols, X-Factor and numerous other concept entertainment shows like that. This is while we at the same time see one pop idol after another crash and burn - in private and in public. The media follow them everywhere and as consumers the photographers, newspapers and journalists are easy targets when it comes to blame someone for the exposure - but would the paparazzi spend so many hours chasing something no one wanted - I guess not.

Do we as media consumers just want to see them fly high so we later can see them fall again - and follow them everywhere - from drug rehabilitation to public break downs. So why do people still strive to reach the stars - when they are well aware that they won’t really become interesting until they do something really stupid and get caught doing so on camera.

Is it the media or is it our nature? Isn’t it so by nature that the strongest, most beautiful or the one with the most resource receives the attention and fame to reproduce the most until that someday he or she will be pushed off the pedestal by someone else - someone new - because if that is the case the stars should be more afraid of their colleagues. Just a thought.

How would you feel if someone always was running behind you shooting pictures? Would you enjoy or hide away or become paranoid. I actually think the drug rehabilitation centres are great refugees - so maybe sometimes drugs are the only ladder down - down to earth - down to us - down to regular problems - which are also drug using these days. Are we caught in a loop here?
