Here’s an interesting article by Marina Hyde at The Grauniad’s CiF site on the McCartney and Mills show. I believe she has only touched on the most important aspect of the thing and so I added this comment:
Well, Marina, you have hinted at it in your piece, but what many people do not seem to realise is that the whole of - what we might call - the 'celebrity world' is a form of fiction, a sort of 'reality' show played out in the various media. It is a mistake to regard any of it as really real in much the same way as only the extremely gullible believe that so-called 'reality TV shows have anything at all real about them.
The 'celebrities' who understand it is all a game - a performance, a role to be played in the spotlight, like McCartney himself are the ones that get through the whole experience relatively unscathed while those who believe it is somehow real, like Mills, Britney Spears and so on become damaged by it.
