I'm not into learning about actors and actresses lives. The entertainment industry works so hard to add depth and interviews and all those things with actors and actresses. But I've been disappointed many times when I've learned things about people that I really didn't want to know and it really kind of turned me off of the shows that they were in when I learned it.
What am I talking about? Secret homosexuality, secret pedophilia, drugs, etc. One major one was when Michael Jackson, of all people, died from the sedative overdose that he had a doctor administer to him supposedly so that he could sleep.
It's just sad and wrong. On top of all the other things that came out about him, it was very disappointing.
People glorify sports stars while they're on the field or court, but then call them chumps when they're 10 years older and broke or worse so deep in debt because they were living large and spent everything that they had ever been given and more.
I guess it's like lottery winners. I've read stories about how people who win the lottery usually end up messed up and broke soon after.
But I don't really want to get into actors and actresses and their personal lives and all that stuff.
I've watched people like the guy that was in the Eagle Eye movie and the Transformers movie just go completely over the edge. Heath Ledger is another one. Best Joker representation in my opinion. Gone way too young to overindulgence.
I don't need to know that stuff because it makes me sad. It makes me not want to watch anything that they were in.
And the cheating! It boggles my mind that these guys that are married to the some of the most beautiful women in entertainment cheat on their woman or take advantage of the help like some do.
When I watch entertainment I just want to be entertained! I don't want to have to think about all that stuff.
I've had songs ruined when I've learned things about the artist, songs that I really liked, that had really good meaning until I learned what the artist meant by it. And then I'm out.
I'm careful what I let in and even then I'm concerned. I don't want to be steeped and stewed in so much drama that I begin to create drama like I see on the screen. I've see enough people fall for that.
