To what wedding dress is the bride going to wear? Whos going to be there? Where is it going to be held? I never really think that famous people such as actressess and actors have a real personality considering that there job is to be someone else, not just on the screen but in real life. If they even speak an opinion even if it is positive the entertainment shows are talking about it for days.So I cant help but wonder when two celebrities get together if it is for real. Do they do it for more attention? I also have to say, what is it that makes some people so greedy? Why is that some people want to be seen all the time? Is it even in our nature to want to be seen and talked about and loved by everyone on the planet? I dont think so. In Hollywood 5yrs= an eternity if a celebrity is married that long. Not to mention, I dont see how some of those marriages last so long, theres always temptation, male or female. The #1 reason for celebrity divirce [im sure] is cheating. From Tiger Woods to Christie Brinkley's husband.My point, is celebrity love just a show? Is it for more publicity? Is it for money? Or is it just the real thing, true love?

Yes, I do think that often celebrities are so used to being in the public eye so often that they can make it their whole life. They may not always have enough free time to pursue a quality life outside of their work, so acting, singing, sport etc. is all that they have. That's probably when some of the more unstable, immature celebrities go off the rails sometimes.
They could start to identify with their public image. But it does also depend very much on the individual. They are not all the same.
The real secret to being happy in that kind of lifestyle, is staying grounded - with what's real and what's not. Alsom and this includes all of us who are NOT in the public eye - to always follow your heart and go with what sincerely feels right to you. Listen to your own intuition and gut feelings. Don't try to do too much. Develop some other interests outside of work. Spend quality time in your friendships, close relationships and family.
Not all Hollywood marriages fail. Perhaps it might be a bit more common with younger celebrities, who haven't really found themselves. It's probably an eternal challenge for most of them. It's also about how they manage their time outside of showbiz. Work can't or shouldn't become your whole life. All work and no play makes Jack a very dull boy. So true.

reader, anonymous, writes (6 August 2010): I've often asked myself the same questions. I think some of the relationships and marriages are genuine, and some of them are quite successful and go well. But what with the pressure of being in the limelight, and all of the invasion into their privacy, I think that can make it difficult for some couples to stay together.
However, I do also think there are some celebrities who, like you say, seem to do it all for the publicity. To me, it never seems to be about love. It is just about making a scene, getting attention, making more money. And I think that is quite sad actually. The magazines are only interested in what the couple will be wearing, how much it will all cost, who will be going, where it will be held, etc. No mention of love or the nature of the relationship.
But then I also think there are some celebrities who are very vulnerable. They seem very confused to me, and almost childlike in their way of dealing with things. I think they can get married within a week of meeting someone, and make a big splash in the magazines and earn lots of publicity. But I think that for some of them, they are looking for something. Some sort of security, something or someone to make them happy. And the relationships and marriages quickly fall apart because they realise they are not happy together. They discover that the other person is not what they were looking for, and so they break up or divorce and continue onto the next relationship. And so it goes on...
I personally suspect a lot of these celebrities are deeply unhappy and insecure, and they look for happiness and fulfilment in the wrong places. They seek more money, hoping it will make them happy. They have a whirlwind romance and an expensive wedding, thinking it will make them happy, but they never really get to know the other person. They draw attention to themselves from the media, thinking they will feel less alone. And none of it helps. I think a lot of them don't actually stop to ask themselves what they want in life, so they search blindly. And I suspect they may also be terribly lonely, so they go from relationship to relationship so as to not be alone. They think wealth and possessions can ease the emptiness they feel. But it doesn't.
Just my thoughts on the subject anyway. I think you make some good points in this article, and it is something I have wondered about too. Thanks for sharing this article. x
