I'm sure you've heard that Madonna and Guy Ritchie are calling it quits on their marriage. This newsworthy fact has been made abundantly clear to us by multiple magazine publications. These tabloids are shouting it out on every magazine stand at every grocery store in the world.
A statement announcing the divorce asked the media to respect their privacy. Yeah, right. Celebrities know they can't be frequently in the headlines (which are vital to their career) and expect anybody to respect their privacy during hard times. It's almost a law. What was Madonna's spokespeople thinking when they wrote that blurb?
It's sad to admit, though, that we actually like watching these high profile splits. We like watching drama ensue. We like watching high people fall from grace. We enjoy witnessing celebrities' hard and difficult moments.
But it's also a revelation to a mystery. We've often wondered just what the Madonna/Ritchie home life must be like. It's hard to imagine anyone having a healthy relationship with a pop star, and the truth has finally been revealed--it's impossible.
We're jealous of celebrities. It's understandable. They're rich. They're successful. They seem to have many of things that most of us don't have. Who doesn't want to live such a life?
But we also secretly hope for their destruction. Maybe, part of it is jealousy, but I think there's a sense that what they have cannot possibly be real. So when we see their lives fall apart, our lives become validated.
All of that larger-than-life glamour is revealed as what we've always suspected--her life is unrealistic. Madonna likes to pretend that it's possible to be a super successful sex symbol, with an exotic artist's life, full of wealth and privilege. But we know the truth. Even her so-called spiritual side is thrown in question when we see all of the spiteful behavior that they're exhibiting.
But when we see her entire life falling apart, we see that it was all a show. The sad fact is that the reality makes a better show than what she contrived. - 15359
