I wrote a piece about this a while back on my Tumblr, but
the thought resurfaced today as I was reading an article about what Brad Pitt
had said in an interview. I find the
idea of ‘fake’ celebrity really annoying, really frustrating and I don’t know
why. I guess, I think that people should just be who they want to be, rather
than pretend that they’re something they’re not. Kristen Stewart recently said
that she had never created a ‘persona’ for the red carpet because she didn’t
like the idea of being fake; she thought she should just be herself, no matter
how uncomfortable she looks. And although, in interviews she comes across as a
moron, you can at least see that she’s not trying to please the world –
supported I guess with her latest actions. It was quite refreshing to see a
tiny bit of honesty from the world of celebrity, something that is not echoed
across the board.
