'Real'

There I am on the bus today, and a girl sitting behind me with her friend starts talking about how she wants to be famous, the other girl, was one of those teens who thinks they are of age, around the 50 years old mark, and talks like a spoilt angst ridden, 'angry at the government but do nothing about it' University student from America, or one of those utterly diabolical scripted teen 'reality' drama shows where the actors all look about 30 but are playing 16 year olds. The 'I want to be famous' girl, said that she would do anything to be famous, and proceeded to reel off a list of potential professions that she would ultimately like to wangle her way into to earn her wages. 
 Here's a list, and these are quoted:

:- Be like Jordan/Katie Price because she is 'real'
:- Be on stage, preferably through not having to go to University, but through acting in minor productions (so Pantomime then) and working her way up the tier.
:- Being 'real' on a television show, so that other people could 'feel what I'm saying and feel like they have a person in their life who knows how it is in the world now'. Right..

Ok, I'm sorry but since when has Katie Price ever been 'real' apart from 'real' as her own person? All the people that say she is 'real' aren't anything like her, they don't pose naked in newspapers and lad's mags, and they don't sleep with 30 people in a year and have kid's and call them stupid names, so how is she 'real' to them? That's effectively saying that your not being yourself because if you were to be yourself you would be exactly the same as her because she is 'real', so your whole life is a lie? None of your friends are getting the actual you? That's quite sad.. But more to the point, if you aren't like Katie Price and you still think she is 'real', then that means you aspire to be like her, surely not, surely nobody in their right mind would aspire to be like her? Fake hair, fake teeth, fake jaw, fake boobs, fake nails, fake eyelashes, fake hair colour, fake cheeks, fake eye make-up, fake eyebrows, fake life, fake personality. Now you tell me which part of her is 'real' because i fail to see it....This girl talking was 14 apparently, and this is the young generation that we have to look forward to seeing on tv presenting shows and interviewing celebrities in the next 10-15 years? Let's hope the United Kingdom sinks below sea-level alot sooner than expected...
