I was JUST talking about Hollywood’s revolving door. It feels like in the past few years the pressure to remain relevant has been exacerbated and almost impossible to achieve.
New talent and stars emerge out of thin air almost daily, only to exit stage left just as fast as they entered. Talent has become watered down to meet the expectations of consumers which as we know, is finicky. This leads to every music, film, book, etc to feel repetitive, bland, and mainstream. True talent and art is lost with the hopes to make it big and make it fast. Artists now fit in a neat box ready to be shipped away the second the crowd gets bored.
Long gone are the days of the elusive celebrity, think Monroe and Prince. Now, every celeb is hyper present and available online, creating a sense of familiarity as they give us a glimpse into their lives.
Celebrity adoration and idolization has been replaced with cancel culture creating vultures out of consumers, waiting for one slip up to end a career and diminish social standing.
So what does this say about the future of the celebrity?
Have they finally become our equal, now fully dependent on our attention and acceptance?
Have they become obsolete with tiktok stars rising to fame and standing next to them on the coveted met steps?
Where will they go from here? Does it even matter?
was just thinking about this in the morning when i came upon a post about chappell roan and already saw some comments about people "seeing her too much" and how they "hate industry plants". god forbid women become successful after years of building their music career!!! i pray that society never treats her past the idolization phase.
It’s barely worth mentioning but Apple had to change their chargers due to EU regulations. It’s so phones etc will have universal UCB C charging.

Such an important topic. Convinced that Miley Cyrus used Wrecking Ball to avoid this happening to her.
