<p>I&#8217;ve often wondered why (oh why) I have an interest in the lives of celebrities, and <a title="Celebrity Worship" href="http://community.livejournal.com/celebrityism/profile" target="_blank">this link</a> explains it!  I&#8217;m part of a cult!  So, why is it, I ask myself?  Is it because I would much rather read about someone else&#8217;s life &#8212; someone I can envy one day, and diss the next&#8230;all&#8230;just because?  Is it that I need a reprieve from my own stresses, especially around money, and so need to &#8220;escape&#8221; into someone else&#8217;s life for awhile?  Lots to ponder on this&#8230;</p>
<p>So a question that comes to mind is&#8230;how much power does money have over someone becoming famous?  And, as this question affects more than just celebrities, it just leads to more discussion around fame&#8230;which will continue in other postings&#8230;</p>
<p>To your prosperity,</p>
<p>Sue</p>
