the fascination in these wretched people is truly upsetting.

You know these people. These are the people that are everywhere. The people you get excited to see. The people who have TV shows strictly devoted to them. The people that you stay up to watch.

I hate these wretched people.

Celebrities. I don't care about them. Nobody cares about them. Oh...but wait. We so care. We so do.

Why? I don't know. They are people just like you and me, but for some odd reason we take complete interest in their lives. When they screw up, we're there. When they get acknowledged for some crappy movie, we're there. When they're going to court for the 50th time, we're there.

Is it because we find their failure's amusing? Is it because we find their so-called "great successes" invigorating? Is it because we're so stressed with our helpless lives, we find an utmost comfort in other people?

And the worst part is that we feel the need to share our knowledge or "opinions" about these celebrities with the entire world.

"Omg, did you here that [insert celebrity name here] had to go to rehab for a drug overdose! Omg, I'm so cool for knowing that."

It's even worse when people believe that they will, in fact, meet celebrities. Especially the insanely famous ones. The only celebrities anyone will probably meet are the ones that were in one horrific movie that barely earned 2 stars.

And even when they meet these "not-successful" celebrities, they still feel the need to post pictures of the autograph on Facebook or Twitter.

"Omg, look at the autograph of [insert celebrity name here]! I'm so cool for having this."

The typical "I love you, you're the best" or "It was great meeting you" or "You're the best fan ever" or any other typical cliche phrase that celebrities like to put on a shaggy Home Depot receipt will be the highlight of these people's lives.

But I can't hate these people too much.

I mean, if I saw Joseph Gordon Levitt on the side of the street, I would pretty much die.

Meeting them might be cool, but devoting your whole life to people you'll probably never see is quite idiotic. Especially to the ones who are famous for doing nothing like the Kardashians or Paris Hilton.

Let's just leave celebrities alone. They're really not that fascinating.
