We shave our heads, we spend ridiculous amounts of money, we basically sell our souls. This is essentially what we, as a society, tend to do over the rich and famous. I have been completely guilty of this as well, but why? At the end of the day, they're just regular people who happen to be better known than you and I. Just like my sociology professor said to me last year when I told him one of the best days of my life was meeting my favorite soccer player on my 13th birthday, "calm down now... he's just as human as you are". It seems silly, but before then, I NEVER thought of 'celebs' from that perspective: human. I looked deep into the mirror and thought, wow. Am I that shallow that meeting a regular person who breathes, eats and sleeps just like me, is that exciting? I certainly hope not...
