A Wedding Is Announced

Another celebrity wedding announced, half a million? Cheap for the price, magazines like 'Hello' will bid for photos and help cover the cost, which is nice. A-listers, B-listers, all lining up to be seen, from the woodwork appear, many are people I don't recognise there to help boost a flagging career. No expense spared, like anyone cares since they can't know how Joe Public feels lining up in their ranks at the local food banks and struggling to pay for school meals. Oh, well, what the hell it's for only one day, perfection is all that's desired, but when the media don't clamour marriage isn't all glamour, reality sets in, they get tired. No more kiss and make up, they sell their breakup to the press, fifteen minutes more fame, a short time of estrangement, new partner, engagement, then do it all over again.

Such empty lives they lead. How do you know when you are famous? When they get to the top the only way is down. Cheers, SuZ

I see celebrity couples all the time. Tabloids boast of divorce like crime.
