I'm sure you've heard that Madonna and Guy Ritchie are calling it quits on their marriage. This newsworthy fact has been made abundantly clear to us by multiple magazine publications. These tabloids are shouting it out on every magazine stand at every grocery store in the world.
An unintentionally amusing statement originally announced their divorce. It included a sentence asking the media for privacy. Yeah, right. Celebrities can't have it both ways. They can't ask people to watch them constantly, via the media, and then slam the door shut when their life takes a rough turn.
Even though we don't really have a choice in the matter in this case, many of would seek this story out even if it weren't so readily available. We love seeing big dramatic events such as this. We enjoy witnessing the carnage in its wake. Besides, it's an unwritten law that celebrities have to share their life with us, especially the bad moments.
We also love seeing the answer to the mystery. We've speculated for years on just how anyone could handle being married to Madonna. We wonder how anything healthy could occur in the home of a pop star, especially someone as self-obsessed as Madge.
We look at celebrities with a sense of envy and desire. They're rich. They're famous. They're powerful. Who wouldn't want their glorious lives?
But we also want their lives to fall apart. We want this partly out of jealousy, but mostly to validate our own existence, our own self-worth. We see Madonna's sad life and we say, "She may be rich and famous, but she doesn't have what I have."
Madonna portrays herself as an ideal. She's a sex symbol, a mother, an artist, an actress, and an extremely successful businessperson. On top of all of that, she'd like to be thought of as a spiritually strong person, exemplified in her latest interest in Kabbalah.
But when we see her entire life falling apart, we see that it was all a show. The sad fact is that the reality makes a better show than what she contrived. - 16083
