It is true fact that the death of a famous pop star Michael Jackson has activated the regular programming in every world wide news channel.

Different means of mass media do it in order to boost their ratings to incredibly high. But it is necessary to ask why so many of people follow the life styles of movie stars, athletes and entertainers? Why people always care more about celebrities’ dark side? Pop culture is created on the basis of racy pictures of Miley Cyrus’, drunk driving of Mel Gibson’s, alleged affair of Paula Abdul and A-Rod accused of using steroids. Unfortunately they pay too much attention to these instead of focusing on their great talents. May be their dark sides reduces the difference between ordinary people and prominent and well known people?
