The Truth About Celebrity Gossip

By Randy Brown


To become a celebrity means to become public. A celebrity looses the privacy of the personal life because the public have interest on the celebrity's life no matter the size of the issue. This is the prize of fame of most celebrities.

When an announcement is made public on the situation of a celebrity in any point in time in his life, a thin line separates the announcement as news from being a gossip.

In general, news is a statement or information on any developments involving issues, activities and personalities in a certain period of time. News may be communicated through the radio, the daily newspapers, television, or simply through daily conversation.

Like news, we also learn gossips from radios, television, papers but the most common source of these is through internet and the other one is directly from others mouth. Gossips mainly talks about famous people and their life. If you compare that with news, the latter is usually done in live broadcast and newspapers which talks about recent and relevant issues.

While news talks of things that are worthwhile such as politics, events that impact the community or environment, art, dance, music and the latest developments in technology, gossip focuses on things that should be privy to the celebrity.

This is what differentiates news from gossip the most: gossip cannot usually be verified from the person being talked about. News, in the realm of journalism, can only be published if the source is known and the information has been verified.

Gossip clearly are not always true and reliable, they being not verified.

The paparazzi who took surreptitiously pictures of a celebrity usually are the beginning of gossips and cause it to spread to the public.

The most common cause of these rumors and speculations begin from malicious photographs uploaded in the internet until they spread and become the talk of the town.
