Transition: Now, I would like to ask the same simple question again. What would you do, take the stairs or ride the elevator?

The same scenario is used next with the exception of your position. This time, you are on a footbridge nowhere near the lever to divert the train.

The question of paparazzi threatening privacy and First Amendment rights is often to situational to argue in a conventional manner, but certainly there are many facets of the issue which can be addressed in a quite straightforward manner. Celebrities who feel they have the right to privacy in public places often muddy the waters of this issue. Oddly enough, those celebrities who have chosen to speak out against what they feel are violations of their privacy most always begin their campaigns with a large press conference. In other words, they gather together those people they wish to not only suppress but also berate in hopes that these people will use their positions and skills to

"So where's Jess?" I flip open the tray compartment on the back of the chair and pull out a book. Evan doesn't blink once my way as I refer to his girlfriend. "Let me guess?" I entertain, holding my hands out in front of me, "no comment here folks." I chuckle to

With Station Eleven, it is easy to denounce the structuring of the novel as confusing or hard to follow. In Station Eleven, the setting alternates between a pre- and intra-apocalyptic world and the point of view shifts with third person omniscient. These structural designs lead to heighten confusion among readers. But is confusion necessarily a bad thing? Confusion leads to curiosity, and curiosity leads to willingness to learn more.

According to Deborah King's article, “The Impact Celebrities Have on Our Lives” she explains how people these days are celebrity obsessed. More specifically, people will stalk celebrities or do what they do. Case in King presents the following idea, “ For many people, not a day goes by when they don’t sneak a peek at their favorite celebrity gossip website” (section 1, paragraph 1). This reveals that some people go on websites that talk about celebrities almost everyday. People go on these websites to catch up on celebrities lives because of how much gossip is on the websites everyday. Sometimes this gossip may be false or a rum0or. One can infer that people who go on these websites like TMZ.com fall for these rumors and strart sto spread them more whe the whole situaltion was just a lie or a misunderstanding. One can also infer that the celebrity is upset or embarrassed because these rumors aren't true. Starting rumors about celebrities must have started because someone was stalking a celebrity which is basically being obsessed with

“We are being held momentarily by the train’s dispatcher. We apologize for any inconvenience,” announces the invisible man somewhere from above.

Everyone who is interested in pop culture and the entertainment industry knows who the paparazzi are. According to Merriam-Webster’s dictionary, the term paparazzi is defined as “a free lance photographer who aggressively pursues celebrities for the purpose of taking candid photographs.” The term actually came from a film from the 1960’s called ‘La Dolce Vita’, directed by Federico Fellini. A character in the film was a news photographer named Paparazzo. Paparazzi target celebrities and public figures that are in the spotlight. In recent years, the paparazzi have taken their job of snapping photos to another extent. They will go to any length to get the shot of a celebrity, even if

Fully dolled up in 1930’s attire that we had bought the weekend before in the vintage movie stores of Burbank, California we were on a time-traveling train. It was all in promotion for the movie, Murder on the Orient Express, so we were there working. And workin’ it. We usually go into these events blind; never knowing if traditional press knows what an influencer is, what we do, and that we actually work for a living. They’re used to huge camera crews and telepromptors while our skill is knowing how to deliver a talking point in 10 seconds for an instagram story, and mastering the art of a good caption. While they’ve only been introduced to social media as something their kids use to ignore them with, we were out here making a living on

Looking towards the media with regards to the spectacle and particularly the spectacle in relation to celebrities, I find that when the spectacle focuses around celebrities, they usuaually focus on their rise and falls of being a star. Celebrities are everywhere, and the public strive on them, whether they are a good influence or bad influence. The public is attracted to anything celebrity related, they want to be consumed by the gossip. Therefore, I choose to do my media review on Amanda Bynes on the Showbiz Tonight show clip.

Celebrities are everywhere in the news, the latest gossip appears in the weekly magazines without fail. Whether they be an actor, athlete, dancer, designer, model, singer or just rich; there is someone out there who is watching that person like a hawk, not letting a single breath go unnoticed. Such is the life of the rich and famous, under the incessant gaze of journalists and the paparazzi. Lives that many people take a great interest in and admire to the point where others would liken this great interest and admiration to a cult-like worship of celebrities. This is a brief description of what I think to be celebrity culture.
