It's funny really because things like social media and these 'side bar of shame' websites have just made the concept of 'celebrity' completely lose its shine. When I was younger, I'd read an interview in Smash Hits or the Culture supplement of The Times (I had a VERY confused upbringing/ childhood) and think how cool and mysterious these people were. Reading interviews was like a sneaky peak into their life- a tantalising bit of ankle. Now, with social media and the like, I feel like we get the full frontal, bent over, NSFW, Hard Core XXX exposure on the regular that, when all is said and done, they're just as boring/ scummy/ head-like as people we know and avoid in our regular lives.
The Dominic and Lily stuff should shock us all but, really, it just makes you think how pathetic they are. I get the same stories off my nana regarding Gareth from over the road playing away from his misses with the strumpet in the local village. And, to be honest, I'd much rather hear my nana recall how he's giving this woman a good rogering in his his Corsa down by the local Home Bargains (with the state of his hip as well, deeer) than see photos of that lot any day!
