Why Rumors


Why start a rumor? A rumor is information true or false passed around by word of mouth. Back to the question, so why start one? That is a question that really can't be answered fully, mainly because there are many reasons to start one. The reasons varies from jealousy, anger, or fun.




So why are we so focused on celebrity rumors? Mainly because celebrities are everywhere. They could be in jail, pregnant, missing, fighting, etc. They are so controversial that it is so easy to believe whatever you hear.




Celebrities shouldn't be upset for the simple fact that you chose to be in the business and with pleasure comes pain,with affect comes side- affect. With saying that, that's not a reason to begin a rumor about a celebrity. When non-celebs look at the slip ups of celebs, we tend to feed on it because it shows how not perfect they are, and it makes us feel better.




Rumors do hurt a celebrities emotional. They have sued magazines even right songs about how rumors hurt. For example Lindsey Lohan's first single "Rumors" and Britney Spear's current single "Piece of me." This songs just speak about how much they are talked about but for good reasons.




The battle between the rumor mill and celebrities will never end as long as a celebrity is in the public eye.
