Comments on: Celebrity Gossip: One Man’s Reality is Another Man’s Show http://mprcenter.org/blog/2009/01/08/celebrity-gossip-one-mans-reality-is-another-mans-show/ The psychology of mass media, social media, and emerging communication technologies Sun, 25 Jul 2010 11:20:00 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Vlad Dolezal http://mprcenter.org/blog/2009/01/08/celebrity-gossip-one-mans-reality-is-another-mans-show/comment-page-1/#comment-553 Vlad Dolezal Sat, 21 Feb 2009 23:02:42 +0000 http://mprcenter.org/blog/?p=261#comment-553 Phew, that was a long post! Great stuff, though! I never got into celebrity gossip myself, but I always wondered why a lot of others seem to enjoy it so much. So thanks for dissecting it for us. I guess I now see that I get my role models, inspiration, etc. from other places - for example, I never really wanted to be a famous actor, but I would sure like to become a famous blogger! Phew, that was a long post!

I think I rant more about the media and gossip as news on my Brat In The Hat blog than anything else - infotainment as news is my pet peeve. I doubt I will be less acidic when I do write a rant post in the future, but, thanks to this article I might be less inclined to post a rant on every silly blurb that annoys me and just treat it like an errant comment I heard near the water cooler!
