Our society’s obsession with celebrity culture is a bit unnerving. Regarding these people, known for their good looks and propensity to act in movies and sing songs, we are like starving children around a loaf of bread. We grab, we tear, we worship, and we destroy.
And what do celebrities do when we have pretty much consumed our fill of them and moved onto the next? Well, we create shows where they can compete for the last shreds of their diminishing fame.
“Dancing With The Stars” has featured such hacks, nobodies, and has-beens for contestants as Bristol Palin, Mario Lopez, Billy Ray Cyrus, and David Hasselhoff. If you look at the list of their past and present contestants, it is hard to find anyone you’d really consider a star. But sadly, we are so obsessed with fame that we would probably watch just about anyone dance if assured that they have at least been on TV once before.
