The Distraction of Celebrities and Crisis in America As I scrolled through the latest news feed from ABC News, one piece caught my eye: Lena Dunham's new status as a mother, Matthew Lillard's regret over acting in "Scream 7," and Metallica's trending popularity.
These stories highlighted a disturbing trend – our fixation on celebrity culture amidst real crises unfolding across the country.
News headlines are dominated by high profile events, from Trump threatening to demolish the historic Kennedy Center to OpenAI disclosing incidents of AI gone rogue.
