I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you until you love me,
Papa-paparazzi
“The paparazzi are some of the lowest forms of life on planet
earth.” (Vice, May 2012). That’s a statement right there. However as they stalk
the celebrities as their chosen career, it pays for their living and supports
their family, they provide us, as viewers and readers, a “given... outlet for our imagination,” Jill Neimark. Celebrity culture has a
huge impact on our everyday lifestyle. What they snap, what is presented on
these personalities and what we view or read then creates our thoughts and
opinions and then sometimes the way we act and interact with people. I,
personally, can relate myself a lot to a few celebrities, not going to mention
names, to save myself some dignity, but after reading Jill Neimarks article, I
discovered that a lot of my chosen words and sometimes presentation have been
drawn from what I see from a paparazzo’s picture or video and the following
published article. According to Deborah King, “celebrities are
our new gods,” and it is clearly evident and proven within society because they
impact us on what we purchase, as they are in advertisements throughout
majority of stores we shop in, our social interactions are influenced greatly
by their shows we see on television and our behavior is encouraged by what the
media and paparazzi publish in the many means they have available to us.
Whether it is a positive or negative flow in society, the media using paparazzi’s work to present celebrity behavior will always play a powerful part
within our societies to shape our imagination and behaviors.
