Modern Fairy Stories

A comment here:

Ah, but... the celebrity is not a 'real' person.

The celebrity life takes place inside a magical media kingdom where all the vicissitudes are exaggerated and magnified for purposes of entertainment.

Celebrity 'culture' is a modern day fairy story with all the 'moral lessons' from such stories laid out in black and white for the improvement and edification of those who follow the ins and outs and twists of these tales. The celebrities themselves are but mere players who play the roles of the princesses and princes of these modern fairy tales.

That is all.
