accidentally in love

call me a dreamer, a hopeless romantic, a natural born sucker for love stories. but i do believe there is a happy ending for everybody, you do have soulmates, and love can conquer all. so i just don't get people criticising the latest Hollywood rom-com which is Mr Tom Cruise nee Kidman and Ms. Katie Holmes, she of the twitchy cornea tomboy-across-the-creek off Dawson's Creek. and before we go on I am no fan of either, hence the silly name calling and jest.

they're in the public eye, that's why people are so cynical, i guess. i don't wish them harm, but for starters, why do a lot people wish that? sure, Cruise has War of the Worlds coming out, and Holmes is starring in Batman Begins. i might be as well subconsciously plugging their work right now. but what if they truly do love each other? aren't they entitled to love and be loved in peace? yeah, some people will counter that if they wanted to do so, they should've chosen to be a dentist or a teacher for low-profile, normal relationships. but what about our attitude as a society, as a whole, so infatuated with them in the first place, pushing them higher up the celebrity ladder? nowhere in red blood, in black granite, in permanent ink does it say 'fans maketh the man'. all the hype and hooplah, we are the ones who create for them. especially mass media. and it goes for all types of celebs we get nowadays, from the top of the list to the very dregs of the clan, namely the reality show stars, the ones that will attend the opening of an envelope (cliche, i know, but to make a point). if you don't like it, then don't like it and be off on your way!

just let people in love be, wish them well, hope for the best. wouldn't that be better than slagging them off as just another publicity stunt? if it is in fact a stunt, ah well, c'est la vie. and que sera sera. and hakuna matata as well! it's just another lesson for us all, no?
