Blog #10 - Exploratory Writing for my Web Assignment

I'd just want to start by saying that I'm a bit confused as to what I might like to do for this assignment. I was thinking about celebrity and why people are obsessed with everything that word entails. Specifically, Americans, rather than those from other nations and countries, become completely infatuated with the thought of celebrity. Why? People run to stores to imitate certain styles, they go to the hair salon to get the latest cut, and some even take it to the extreme and visit the plastic surgeon so they can have permanent features that make them appear like their favorites stars. But what makes celebrity so appealing? The money, the glamour, the lifestyle? And why is it that Americans, above all, seem to be infatuated with the thought?

I think this could make an interesting web assignment - especially for me, the gossip magazine junkie. I do have other ideas, but this is something that I am really interested in so if this seems like a good topic that I could possibly do this assignment on, please let me know.. if not, then it's back to the drawing board!
