Celebrities’ Behavior Gone Bad

            When people look in gossip magazines what do people normally look for? Yes, they look for the bad behavior of the celebrities’. It brings more attention to them rather than the good behavior of the celebrities’. Celebrities’ bad behavior is covered more in the news stories then positive behavior because it causes more drama and gossip, gets more publicity, and for people it is more interesting to learn about the mistakes of others.

            First, celebrities’ bad behavior is covered more in the news stories because they cause more drama and make more gossip. Their type of behavior causes a lot of drama and gossip. When they do something that is unexpected or out of the ordinary then, people start to talk, and that leads to gossip. Gossip of course always leads to drama. In October 7, 2008 Amy Larocca of MSNBC states that the reason we like to cause drama and gossip is because,” [People], as culture, are fascinated by gossip at the moment-the celebrity variety in particular.”

Secondly, the bad behavior of celebrities’ is in the news more often because it causes more publicity than good behavior. It gets more publicity because it is bad behavior and mainly because it is the bad behavior of famous people. Good behavior is okay but it is not as exciting as hearing about the bad things that celebrities’ do. Many people think that, “If [celebrities’] fate as a public figure depends on attention, the message is clear: the more [they] offend and shock public sensibilities, the more famous [they] will become” (Shippey 2010). It makes people have many questions and talk more so then the celebrities become more popular also.

            Lastly celebrities’ bad behavior is more interesting for people to learn about especially because it is others mistakes. Since it is others making the mistakes it makes people want to know about it more. People like watching others make mistakes. Many of the people think,” We may forget about our own while we are busy with pointing out and even severely publically scorning their bad morals, whatever sinful we may have experienced from them, and thus [the people] get a bit released, elated on our own while realizing that they are no better than ourselves” (Garonfolo 2007). It is entertaining for them one because it is someone else’s mistakes and two celebrities are famous people.

            Celebrities’ bad behavior is covered more in the news stories than positive behavior because it causes more drama and gossip, gets more publicity, and it is more interesting for people to watch others making mistakes. Good behavior compared to bad behavior is nothing. It’s just boring. Bad behavior is way more interesting. People nowadays only want to hear about the bad behavior and the mistakes of others, especially celebrities.
