Glorifying Celebrities

            News stories are 80% gossip about celebrities’ bad behavior. The editors want those stories published because they know people want to hear that. People are interested in celebrities’ mistakes. Celebrities’ bad behavior is covered more in news stories than positive behavior because it’s exciting, it creates a lot of drama, and good behavior is expected.

            The first reason why celebrities’ bad behavior is in the news more is because it’s exciting. On magazine covers it says ‘so and so’ did this and it makes people want to read the article. This is evident when “fought through eating disorders and has struggled with cutting." (Hunter). All the magazines focus on this one mistake she did. Even though after all the changes she made for the earth no one remembers that. It’s exciting to hear that an actual celebrity made a mistake. It makes people know that the celebrity is not perfect.

THESIS: Celebrities' bad behavior is covered more in news stories than positive behavior because it's exciting, it creates a lot of drama, and good behavior is too expected.
     The first reason why celebrities' bad behavior is covered more in news stories is because it's exciting. On magazine covers it says "so and so" did this and it makes people want to read the article.When Demi Lavato gives a charity a lot of money no one talks about it but when they find out she went to rehab it's on every magazine. People actually have opinions and can create a conversation.
     Next when people hear that a celebrity got into trouble with the law or something leaked from their past the drama startsUsually when celebrities are caught doing something wrong they give the silent treatment to the paparazzi or are always in tears giving a sob story. People then create arguements saying either what that celebrity did was right or wrong.
     Finally the last reason why celebrities' bad behavior is because it creates something out of the ordinary. It's not everyday people hear a celebrity doing something bad, so when it does happen its unexpected and shocking. People never know when a celebrities' career will go down the drain. so if and when it does happen people want to know.
