WELL DONE, RON...AND TO A CERTAIN EXTENT I DO AGREE. BUT I KNOW CELEBRITIES ARE JUST 'PEOPLE' WITH VARIED PERSONALITIES AND TEMPERAMENTS AND THAT IS THE BOTTOM LINE FOR ME. SHOULD THEY BE HARASSED TO THE POINT WHERE THEY HAVE TO LITERALLY 'MOVE' TO GET AWAY FROM THE SPOTLIGHT? NO. BUT THEN THAT DEPENDS BECAUSE SOME RELISH THE ATTENTION AND SOME DON'T AND THIS PREFERENCE SHOULD BE RESPECTED. WE HAVE TO LOVE ALL PEOPLE, WELL KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, AND BEFORE I JUDGE THEM AND THEIR LIFESTYLE I THANK GOD FOR SENDING HIS BLESSINGS, IN WHICH EVER WAY HE CHOOSES, ON US ALL. AND I PRAY FOR MYSELF FIRST AND THEN EVERYONE ELSE. I CAN RELATE AND HAVE SYMPATHY FOR THOSE IN PAIN(IN ANY AREA OF THEIR LIVES)I DON'T CARE WHO THEY ARE. I MEAN...WHAT WOULD I DO IF I WERE IN THE SHOES OF THE RICH AND FAMOUS? HOW WOULD I ACT? I'D LIKE TO SAY I'D BE NO DIFFERENT THAN I AM NOW, BUT I REALLY DON'T KNOW. AH! THE WORLD OF THE ENAMORED! WE STAND ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN AND HARDLY KNOW THEIR TRUE JOYS OR WHIMS, THANK GOD FOR THOSE WHO FIRST...HONOR 'HIM'. THANKS FOR THE SHARE. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

I find this couple rather boring.
In the end, who really gives a crap?
They are just everyday people with a Royal wrap.
Sure, they may want to go astray and break away but who else can even think of living that way?
In the end we all turn to dust.
Then all that Royal glitter will be just plain rust.

P.S. I lived in England for three years. I LOVED the people but deplored the monarchy and their ceremonious crapola!

Well done Ron!

Peace, love and blessings,

John Michael Domino

Ron! Let's rob a bank, live the high life, and have the paparazzi in our bushes. Yes! I believe you are right about people being bored with their own lives. When are we leaving? LOL!!!

Love ya!

The only celebrity I ever really followed was Muhammad Ali. He was my idol. I think we all need someone to look up to, as long as we don't go overboard with it. And that person doesn't have to be a celebrity. My heroes have been teachers family, and friends.

So true I see it on Facebook everyday! I often wonder about some people who no matter who the celebrity are in mourning every day. I admit when somebody I really admired like a writer, scientist, etc. I will comment on it but some people are in daily mourning about some celebrity that died even they were jerks in real life.

No blame on this end as I don't know any celebrity that I would or have ever followed other than maybe a sports team, but the whole team never any one or two players...-e- (Sent you a message in response to your message you sent me recently)

I don't pay celebrities any mind. The average person and underdogs who overcome adversity are my heroes.

Well stated. It's difficult NOT to follow because their every move is documented. A curse I certainly wouldn't want and a price too much to pay for the benefits they get.

There have always been "celebrities" and "beautiful people." We humans seem to need to set pseudo Gods apart and on grand pedestals regardless of whether they merit such. Like you, my heroes are mostly unknown to the world at large and to my mind their very anonymity makes them that much more special. They go about their business bettering the world without feeling the need to showcase it. What have the Kardashians and their ilk ever done for me?

Are we too much enamored with celebrity? I certainly do not have an answer but poetry can provide an avenue for the search as you have done so successfully here.

I must admit, I don't follow the news on this or any of the current trends. Just too outside my realm. I agree. Celebrity status is a two-edged sword. One I wouldn't want to hold. Bless those who have to deal with it. I can hardly imagine.
Have a great weekend, Ron.
