Many people think celebrities are invincible. They think they get everything they want and their lives are nothing less than perfect. "They are living the life." Right now, for Kelis and Nas that isn't the case. This Hip-hop is set to divorce just months before their first child. Kelis has filed papers via top divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, citing "irreconcilable differences" and a spokesperson for the singer tells Vibe.com, "I can confirm that she has filed for divorce. We request the media to respect her privacy during this very difficult time."They are expecting their son at the end of the summer. This couple met at the MTV Music Awards in 2002 and were married in Atlanta Georgia in July 2003. No time is the right time for divorce. It's a shame that such a young couple is going their separate ways, especially right before the birth of the first child.
Kim Hess states, "Why are we obsessed with celebrity divorces and the money that is to be had when love goes sour? I'm not quite sure, but I think it has something to do with the intrigue that the rich and famous are people too. Sometimes bitter, stingy, and angry people, Yep, it's just not your ex! Divorce is a hard, sad, time for them as well. But being able to walk away with millions of dollars and knowing you don't have to be married to that person anymore...priceless!"

It is scary how obsessed we are as a society with celebrities, their personal lives, and all their dirty little secrets. I get the sense a lot of the time that our love of celebrities and their lives are represented by the amount of tabloids (both on the internet and print) available to read. Ms. Hess makes a good point about the rich and famous being people too. I get the feeling that we sometimes (I do also) are just too into that other half's life, especially when it is filled with gossip or pain like divorce, which should be a private matter.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree. We are so in to celebrities lives, I think we need to start worrying about our own! People love to gossip:)
ReplyDeletei must agree. its so surprising how our society can b so wrapped in celebrity gossip and there lives that we forget the real meaning behind our real issue's our society must fix. And sacred and serious things such as divorce is never taken in account there true feelings about priavcy. and at times the celeb's get wrapped up and loss the meaning of a sadding with as loss a loved one
