Celebrities

Okay so today I'm going to talk about celebrities.

Some people are supporting celebrities crazily.

Be it celebrities on mainstream media, or online celebrities.

The impression that celebrities gave us is BIG STARS.

Shinning so brightly and everybody sees them, but always seem to be like so far from us.

In order to gain the heart of the supporters, they have to break this distance.

They try to make the supporters feel closer to them by providing a seem-like-two-way-communication platform.

As they can't reveal their personal phone number and address,

So they started to set up twitter account, my space, U stream, facebook fan page, etc.

They make the supporters feel like:

"Wow I talk to XXX live just now you know" or "Hey I'm now friends of XXX!" 

First thing, these celebrities have their managers, most of their sites and fan pages are not operated by themselves. They have assistants or a crew to help them manage all these stuff.

Even if they do manage some of these social applications themselves, you should realise that there are so many supporters and fans writing to them. They probably won't even see your message. So most of the time, it became a one way communication. You post want you wanna post to them, and they post what they want to post. Or in the end of the day they will reply ALL of you with a SINGLE post, something like: "Thanks for your supports, love you guys" or "Thanks for those birthday wishes and presents from the supporters, really appreciate it".

Even if they do see your message, they probably not gonna reply you. Imagine they got thousands and millions of messages and friend requests every day, approving friend requests itself will take almost half a day. So if they were to reply all of you it will take another half of a day, then they will got no life.

Okay so now, some people are lucky and they got a reply from the celebrities, most of the time they are replying out of courtesy, or that particular message of yours is unique enough to catch his/her attention. Remember it's the particular MESSAGE/ STUFF that you gave them caught their attention, not you. As they don't know who you are they won't remember you. Trust me, if you try to reply or message them again, 99.99% they are going to ignore you.

So don't get overwhelmed when they posted something saying that love you, or less than 3 you. They are not referring you alone, they are referring to the whole bunch of people out there. And even if they reply you personally, it also doesn't mean that they take you as their friend.

Don't be silly to think that because you got their reply on these social networks you are going to be their friends. You are just one of the whole bunches of supporters out there, like the others, nothing special. Unless you were their friend even before they get famous or you become a celebrity, or you work with/ for them - be their hairstylist, makeup artist, or else it is almost unlikely that you can become their friend in real life.

But still, I believe that they do appreciate all the supporters, every single one of you out there, even they might not know you. It's your support that brought them to where they are now. They couldn't be that famous and success without all of you. So don't be upset, if you are not their friends, they love you too.

So, stop mumbling or complain about why didn't they reply your message email tweet or whatever. If you do love them too, start standing in their shoes and think for them. 

Cheers! =)
