Did you know that Madonna and Guy Ritchie are getting divorced? It would be hard to miss this startling revelation screaming out at us in every tabloid, or semi-tabloid publication in the world. This story is being amply displayed in grocery stores, promising exciting revelations on just how screwed up their relationship was.
An unintentionally amusing statement originally announced their divorce. It included a sentence asking the media for privacy. Yeah, right. Celebrities can't have it both ways. They can't ask people to watch them constantly, via the media, and then slam the door shut when their life takes a rough turn.
Even though we don't really have a choice in the matter in this case, many of would seek this story out even if it weren't so readily available. We love seeing big dramatic events such as this. We enjoy witnessing the carnage in its wake. Besides, it's an unwritten law that celebrities have to share their life with us, especially the bad moments.
We also love seeing the answer to the mystery. We've speculated for years on just how anyone could handle being married to Madonna. We wonder how anything healthy could occur in the home of a pop star, especially someone as self-obsessed as Madge.
On one hand, we envy and want to emulate famous and rich people. We envy their status and their luxurious lives. We envy just about everything we imagine them to have. They seem successful, and we covet it.
But we also want their lives to fall apart. We want this partly out of jealousy, but mostly to validate our own existence, our own self-worth. We see Madonna's sad life and we say, "She may be rich and famous, but she doesn't have what I have."
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 then we see it all come crashing down, and we realize that all the glitz and glamour doesn't mean anything. And for some reason, it's fun to watch this reality check. - 15252
