Let's face it: the general public has always had - and probably always will have - a certain fascination with celebrities. They have wealth, power and influence that most of us can only dream about. That being the case, we often have a tendency to forget that - underneath it all - they are still people. Moreover, they tend to have the same traits, vices and virtues that the rest of us have.
For instance, a number of Hollywood stars and celebrities are known to to be just downright nasty, mean people. They'll unload both barrels on anything and anybody having the misfortune to be in range: fans, colleagues, you name it. Unsurprisingly, one of the most notorious people to fall into this camp is model Naomi Campbell. She is quite famous for her temper tantrums, and has been known to physically attack her assistants, staff members, and even law enforcement officers.
Running counter to this is the fact that many celebrities are known for having very kind dispositions and for being nice people. These are the stars who are never too busy to sign an autograph or shake a fan's outstretched hand. One celebrity with a well-deserved reputation for being an all-around nice guy is actor Will Smith. Despite being one of the biggest (and most bankable) stars in Hollywood, he has seemingly stayed grounded. In fact, both he and his wife Jada are noted for their many charitable contributions.
Last but not least, there are numerous celebrities with high IQs. While we often fawn over them because of their appearance, we tend to overlook the fact that many of these people are amazingly smart. For instance, Sharon Stone - who rose to fame in hits like Basic Instinct and the original Total Recall - is actually a member of Mensa with a reported IQ of 154.
Basically, celebrities are, in a lot of ways, reflections of the general public. Many of them are nice, others are jerks, and so on. The difference is that people are more interested in seeing (and often get to observe) celebrity personalities on display.
