Why Are People Especially Celebrities, Expected To Stay Young Forever Nowadays?
Madonna is 50. She’s grinding and flirting with Justin Timberlake, and trying to be sexy and act like a young 20 year old. She’s making and writing music that kids would.
The rest of Hollywood is the same way. Everyone wants to be and act like they’re 18, and it’s all about trends and being young.
Enter Miley Cyrus. 15. The new it thing.
26 in some circles is considered old and washed up.
So tell me, why is Hollywood so OBSESSED with youth, and dictating to the rest of society how they should look?
Everyone is so madly obsessed with looks, image, style, age.
It’s gotten so bad that if people even have 1/5th an inch of fat on their bellies, they pay thousands to have it sucked out, or if their faces are a little off, they pay to have them readjusted, and some people pay so much to have their whole bodies done.
Why do people allow this to dictate their values?
Why are they sucked in?
Why must we strive to look and act as young as possible?
WHY?

One nation I have respect for is Canada because they know the value of humanitarianism. Canada produces superb documentaries about real deep soul issues and world issues …Canadian people tend to be deep and they can be very indifferent to matters such as plastic surgery and liposuction. As for my home, the USA, well, I think a lot has to do with life extension. We as a nation feel that if you can look 10 years younger than your real age, then you have “added” 10 years to your life because for example at 36 you have gained the experience of a 36 yo however you needn’t tell everyone you’re 36 yo if you “look” 26. So this is the illusion that a youthful looking person has “more life” (which is mathematically impossible) or that they can command a better life with life experience combined with a physical facade that doesn’t match (looks younger than) their true age. therefore, many times the goal is to open more doors with a smart, young look (“like, omg, you’re such a wise YOUNG person!”) … but, for many people the goal is based on their fears of getting old and death. (I assume this is rampant in Los Angeles where a lot of people are less concerned about world issues and soul issues) ..Sooner or later they have to come to terms with aging and dying because those are realities which are definite, especially death.

The reason the Hollyweirdos do all that plastic surgery is because their career depends on it, what else? But what is sad is that there are people obsessed with the hollyweirdos image. That is why the trash tabloid rags are so popular, but only if you believe those rags, do you think that people are obsessed with looks, style, age, blah blah blah.
Only those who can afford it with money and free time can do the plastic surgery. So it isn’t a common practice for regular people to do plastic surgery for fun.
But why worry about what other people can afford or want to do with their lives?
It is only shallow people who really cares about what celebrities do. That is probably why Paris Hilton is so popular for doing absolutely nothing but being a hobag.
But what is great about this country is that if you don’t like what is going on, don’t pay attention to the celebrities.
Not like what Allergic to Eggs says about Canadiens. In case you have not noticed that most celebrities now are from Canada.
Canada is a great country only because it is still so full of nature. But come on! How could a country be successful being a country that pays homage to the Queen of England and still have big part of country (Quebec) speaking mainly French? Do Canadiens have its own identity? I say no, they are just people who wants to be Americans but don’t know how with all the bi polar dedication to European countries. They are Canadiens, Englishmen, Frenchies?????
The reason that Madonna act the way she does is that people are still paying attention to that “COUGAR”. She can try to stay young, but noticed her voice is showing her age like a tree ring. (it don’t lie)….
