Why is it that we live in a world where a celebrity’s every movement is on our radar? I had no internet for twenty four hours, and the first thing I did upon getting my internet back was check Oh No They Didn’t. I even have a link to it on this blog.
But why? Why is that? Why can we say, with absolute convinction, that we love, say, Angelina Jolie, as much as our significant other when we’ve never met her? How can we look at a picture of a shirtless James McAvoy and say, “James, do me” or “I want this Scottish hottie. In my pants.” Why is it that girls swoon over one Gary Oldman? (Or maybe that’s just me….) None of us know these people, yet we talk about them as if we do, criticize their judgements and fashion and dating habits, and generally act as though we have a right to do so.
That being said, I’ll watch anything with Gary Oldman in it. Anything.
