Why you hate Celebrities, and some of your Friends.

What is the real definition of 'Jealousy'? or 'Envy'?

Whether most of it us admit it or not, we get jealous and suffer from envy. And when we see people who have what we may want, we can get very jealous or extremely envious. Now the first group of people we take this out on, beside some of our friends, are celebrities. Thats right - celebrities. Boy do they live the 'good' life and beyound. And alot of us wish we did. But we dont. And we probably never will. And since jealousy and envy are around, lets just use that on them damn 'celebrities'. (of course now, if you were to be a celebrity you'd be glad others were both jealous and envious of you.)

Now, lets take a close look at the word 'jealousy' and the word 'envy':

1: Jealousy typically refers to the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, that occur when a person believes a valued relationship is being threatened by a rival. This rival may or may not know that he or she is perceived as a threat.

2: The word "jealousy" is frequently used to describe what is more properly envy, fixation on what someone else has. Envy and jealousy are distinct in their object (Goldie, 2000, p. 221). Jealousy concerns something one has and is afraid of losing, while envy concerns something one does not have and either he wants to acquire (nonmalicious envy) or he wants the other(s) not to have (malicious envy) (Parrot, 2001, p. 309).

I guess we all need some help.

Now lets be fair here: Are female celebs "bashed"more than their male counterparts?

Now this is starting to get really serious. Just think about. Do Britney, Winehouse, Paris, Cyrus, Lindsey, Angelina, etc get 'slammed and beat down' more by the press corps, than say their male counterparts? Now thats a real interesting topic, but a brutal one to be sure. Here at Celebrity Status Quo, we believe that to be true in fact. Well a symposium is scheduled for next week that will address that issue.

And conference co-organiser Professor Diane Negra was quoted as saying: "Saturation coverage of these 'women in crisis' stories may be testing the limits of the public appetite.

Hmmmmm. Interesting. That symposium is to be held and hosted by the University of East Anglia, and its entitled: "Going Cheap? Female celebrity in the tabloid, reality and scandal genres", also included in that symposium: "Conference analyses: 'train-wreck' female celebrities". Now this is a very serious subject matter that needed to be looked into along time ago. So stay turned. Poor girls -
