Celebs & Love

Even though we see them on the covers of magazines, spot them on our TV screens and read about them constantly on websites and blogs. Celebrities and every thing that they do have become an integral part of pop culture, no matter the difference in our levels of interest, we all know one thing or another about our favourite celebrities. Even my Mum knows about everything celebrity-related, from Justin Bieber to the Kardashians.

Over the years, one thing about celebrities that majority of people have been interested in is, "WHO IS DATING WHO?", no one can tell me that they were not taking deep breaths whenever Jennifer Lopez ended or started a relationship, or whenever Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise started a relationship with a co-star and after a number of years ended that relationship. Even normal people go through it, we make mistakes with our initial choices and realize that we were in a relationship that was not meaningful or enjoyable, we were so overwhelmed with the physical and decided to ignore the mental/emotions. I think we need to cut some celebrities some slack, just because they have international popularity does not mean that they are not human. They are not above mistakes, even though I will agree that sometimes they handle their issues loosely, we have to remember that they are human like each and every one of us so they are liable to make mistakes and bad decisions. They need not be judged for that because at the end of day, they are searching for that one person they can feel that connection with.

In the past few weeks we have seen certain celebrities seal their love with marriage. Chelsea Clinton (Bill Clinton's Daughter), Alicia Keys, Carrie Underwood, Hillary Duff , Robbie Williams, Katie Price and TI, are some of the celebrities who got married recently which goes to show that even they think of settling down. Their search for love has even put some of them in the middle of controversy, singers Fantasia, Alicia Keys and Leann Rimes, have all received public backlash for dating men who were not fully divorced or still married. The question that comes up is, "Can we really control who we fall in love with?"

In my opinion, I think that as human beings we have the right to choose whoever it is we want to be with, we should not be judged or constantly criticized for falling in love with people who others might label better or worse than we are. If you have strong feelings for a significant other and that feeling is mutual, do not worry about what people say, what I always say is "follow your heart but use your brain to make the journey", be sure to be open-minded and challenging, don't get caught up in the moment and don't lose your pride and self-esteem. The search for love is like traveling down a bumpy road, we have to carefully make our way through in order to get to our destination.
