LOS ANGELES (FinalCall.com) - American society is obsessed with celebrities, whether it is Jay-Z and Beyonce, Ludacris, Chris Brown or Rhianna, rapper Kanye West and tennis star Serena Williams, or talk show host David Letterman.
Some popular culture analysts say the celebrity influence is strong because people get to relax, escape pressure and avoid the stresses of their everyday lives—at least for a moment.
But there is also an unhealthy pursuit of celebrity status and success that can take a huge toll on families, individuals, society and the stars themselves, say experts. Hip hop superstar West is not dead, despite a RIP (rest in peace) Internet hoax that began spreading on Oct. 20.
According to a post on billboard.com, the hoax was a set up as part of a Fox News web page that said the entertainer died in a bizarre crash in Los Angeles.
