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.
But it's also a revelation to a mystery. We've often wondered just what the Madonna/Ritchie home life must be like. It's hard to imagine anyone having a healthy relationship with a pop star, and the truth has finally been revealed--it's impossible.
We look at celebrities with a sense of envy and desire. They're rich. They're famous. They're powerful. Who wouldn't want their glorious lives?
But we also secretly hope for their destruction. Maybe, part of it is jealousy, but I think there's a sense that what they have cannot possibly be real. So when we see their lives fall apart, our lives become validated.
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 when we see her entire life falling apart, we see that it was all a show. The sad fact is that the reality makes a better show than what she contrived. - 17943
