"Stars -- They're Just Like Us!"



Us Magazine has a section, "Stars -- They're Just Like Us!" that highlights the ways celebrities are just like us "little people." This particular image above illustrates that because this celebrity is using a shopping basket at the store, he is just like us! 

My thoughts about this image are this: of course this star uses a shopping basket when at the store! Why wouldn't he? Do we really hold celebrities in such high prestige that we would expect this man pictured to NOT be using a basket at the grocery store?

We as a society, as I've pointed out several times, have a strange obsession with celebrities, and view them as if they're a different species. What's even worse? We need articles like this to remind us that celebrities are just people, too.
