Why do we always compare ourselves to celebrity couples?

The Persuaders - Thin Line between Love & Hate

Celebrities  inspire us because they look better than the average couple.  Just look at them.

Beyonce and Jay Z

but they also force us to be critical of them and ourselves.  We start putting everyone in categories based on celebrities relationships. Sparking comments like: 'They would not be together unless he had money big times....' Or 'she is with him because he is a great singer/rapper.' Or 'he can manager her career well.'

Seal and Heidi Klum

 Inter-racial couples get it the worst because we don't want them to be happy. So if and when they break up we have an opinion on why we knew it would not work. We start talking as if we know these people personally. We judge them like we would judge or own families and friends... Simply because they just live the lives we wish we could be living. Where perfection has another meaning. If we can't be perfect then the celebs we love should be... or we start hating.  This is hate and Love at its best and its worst.  People looking at their heroes in a glass fish-bowl and wishing that we could interact with them constantly..... but thanks to social media sometime we can. With reality shows making celebrities more human showing their flaws, we become the crazies that can stark them by looking into their bedrooms their pool sides parties, extravagant  vacations. When they step onto that mega Yacht, our dreams and fantasies are right there with them. Tasting every chef created meal, every glass of expensive wine and other spirit. We jump to endorse their diets, their spending habits. Lines of clothing that they wear... It must be the best if our hero celebs are wearing that brand. 

Jada Pinkett and Will Smith

When they have a block buster Movie or a great hit song we relive their success in our minds as if it they were our personal properties.

 They can't make a mistake without all of us tuning in on their lives with our opinions and critiques       

Lets face it ! We are obsessed with Celebrities.... Their lives are our 'want-a-be' lives. Since these are heroes to us we can see them as normal ever day people. They are reading a script every day and playing the rolls that we see as perfection.

Celebrities  couples just look way better than the average couple. They almost always have these perfect bodies, both of them. How come the rest of us can't be that lucky to find that perfect looking mate and why can't we all be that good looking ourselves. Simple fact,  it is just the way it is, just get over it. The cameras love these people because they are so close to perfection the rest of us will never be able to step into their perfect shoes. Cinderella and Prince charming were perfect in the cartoons we read about and watched as kids-movies when we were kids or even as grownups. 

Every little girl grows up seeking to meet her prince charming, And every little boy grows up looking for his sleeping beauty( she needs to be beautiful when she is asleep with no make up or she don't qualify.) So when we see celebs that look like and living  our fantasies living (this is how we want to live our lives, ) we either Love them or hate them sometimes we even do both at the same time. We live  that thin line between love and hate everyday.... . We become either people who copying the Persuaders (originals) or those who favor the Pretenders (copiers) The tune is the same just the artist is different. But in our minds it is all about our perspective . this song has two versions that show that we all are Lovers of celebs who are persuaders or pretenders.... So me are all in these categories ourselves because we emulate our favorite Celebs... whom we either Love or hate... but that can change at the drop of a hat after all there is a thin line.....
