It seems to me these days that you hear or look at the news like ET(Entertainment Tonight) and other news concerning about Celebrities that you moslty if-not mostly hear about Celebrity Couples breaking up or divorcing.

Why don't these Celebrity Male and Females just get themselves an average person. I mean...you have a celebrity couple that have EGOS and success along with people(fans) that wants to sleep with either one(male or female celebrity) behing their partners back since they have so much of the public's attention that gets that celebrity into so much Temptation that it's hard to run away from. AND Money that becomes a problem because you have 2 people that sometimes try to compare themselves to each other by their money(forgive me if I'm wrong on that).

Which those things makes the relationship hard.

So why can't these celebrities date average or almost above average people and see what's interesting of what that person might offer?

Its all relative.. but we are not the ones that can answer that question really... but I would assume the reason they take other stars... instead of your average joes.. is because you would assume they should be on the same level and I think that we as commoners do the same thing... no?

I would never want to date a celebrity and dealing with those Egos. I think it's hard for an average person to stay married to a star because of the lifestyle, the spotlight, and again the ego. I also think that some celebrities are cautious about dating average joes, because they may think that it's all for the money and not love. At least if 2 people are close in success level, they don't worry about each other digging for the cash.

Probably because at the end of the day they really are average joes themselves.

Where is an adult going to meet people? Mostly at work, I'd guess. Seems to me many celebrities hookup after working together. Money could factor in. There's also the sad reality that a spouse or SO are like fashion accessories for some.

Many different reasons.

1. They hang out around celebrities frequently, so chances are they'll end up dating another. Its like if let's say I'm an athlete, chances are ill end up dating someone who is also fond of the athletics department, because that is the type I'm surrounded by, it most likely won't be a cop, doctor, or lawyer.

2. When they date celebrities, it causes big hype and attention (for example: chris brown/rihanna. Kim kardashian/reggie bush)

3. If they dated an average joe, it would be tough to know if they really like them for them, or just because of who they are

There ARE some celebrities who are married to regular 'joes' (Sharon Stone, Jamie Lee Curtis, Neil Diamond, CHER (she was dating a guy who owned a bagel store) and the way they kept married was keeping the SO OUT of the spotlight and the media. which does follow them everywhere, and critiques ever wart, bump, and fart.

You got that right. People need to stop pumping up their egos and let them know they are no smarter and their opinion is no more important than the average person.

I think it is hard for them to meet average joes, just like it is hard for us to meet them.
