Why does the gossip/rumors always outshine the positive outcomes of the entertainment business?

Everyday, I repeatedly run into tabloids exposing the personal lives of celebrities. I can tell that these famous beings are constantly being watched by those who are ready to catch them making a mistake. In a way, I feel for these people living their lives in front of a camera day after day, as if they are under a microscope. #psychology #celebrity #entertainment

Barry’s Answer

Cindy, That is simply part of the job description for being a high profile actor,. You are paid millions of dollars because people want to idolizing you as well as tear you down. It is the price of fame. If you reach that level of stardom, you must be able to take that. That is why they pay you millions and millions of dollars. It also keeps people distracted enough not to fix their own lives, but live through the stars. And that means big bucks to the entertainment industry. Plus, these stars are treated no like other humans.
