Hollywood: How We Define if We Love or Hate

We love Jennifer Lawrence. The way she smiles, laughs, tells jokes, acts...it's all perfect. But we can't stand Anne Hathaway. Everything she does has an air of arrogance, and she's so unrelatable. But she's a real person, one who put herself out there for the world to judge, and society has just decided that we as a whole cannot stand her. WHY?

The part of the human population that tunes into Hollywood on a daily, monthly, or yearly basis all have their own opinions on what these stars should represent. Some of us expect to see true Hollywood glamour, with the glint of success in their eyes, and the red carpet saunter of an age-old professional. Others of us would rather see someone accepting an award that represents the same things we do: normalcy, humor, and lighthearted, genuine fun. It's easy to look at different people and judge how they portray themselves. It's easy because we judge them based on what we expect to see. If they don't fit into the confines of what we fine as "right", they immediately get cast aside.

It's a system of Love vs. Hate.

So how come no one is immune to the crazy trends of Hollywood love and hate? How come, even when someone is the brightest star one day, they can so easily be dulled the next? That's because it's just that: Trends. The rocky world of stardom is a place where things are easily unbalanced. Dating the wrong person one day could set you off the popular track just as easily as hitting someone with your car.

The trick to surviving the uncertain, wild world of fame is to follow the ever-changing trends. No one is ever going to please every single human being out there; there will always be individuals with differing views, opinions, and morals. But as long as the stars can continue to turn a blind eye to the haters, as well as to represent themselves in their best light by being 'themselves'--aka what the public wants them to be--they have a shot at being loved, instead of hated.
