Celebrities
A star is defined as an artistic performer or athlete whose leading role or superior performance is acknowledged. These "stars" play too intricate a part of our lives. Despite what many people believe, celebrities are the same as you and I. These people are entertainers and are not superior to the every day, nine to five, average, work person. They are doing their jobs as we are doing ours. Anytime a person turns on the television these days, it is almost impossible not to see a celebrity being honored in some way. The Total Request Live (TRL) show is such an example. The television show takes place in a downtown, New York, corner building. Outside the show is a hoard of adoring fans wanting to see celebrities, as well as to be seen on television themselves. There are numerous people who bring outrageous signs in hopes of getting the camera turned onto them. These are the types of people who are led by celebrities; they follow their every move, and try to emulate them in some fashion.

Not only was he rude and obnoxious, but, he was on drugs at the time. How dare a celebrity take himself out in public in that type of condition, especially to a family theme park such as Disney World. This attitude, however, was not shared throughout the band. Sarah McLachlan's self-loving drummer and husband, was very rude. He didn't have the time to sign simple autographs for a small group of five to eight people. He seemed to have the idea that if he were to come over, then everybody would rush over for an autograph and he would be overwhelmed. That is the type of attitude that keeps celebrities thinking that they are above most people. The lead singer from a group called Wild Strawberries, who simply goes by Roberta, set aside time after her set to sign autographs for her fans.
