Celebrity Couples and making it!

It seems that every celebrity has that moment. The unforgettable moment, he or she realizes he or she is no longer just another actor, rock star, pop star, athlete or writer. It is the moment a stranger stops, points and says, He is a star. Many people think that stars have overnight success, forgetting the years of low-paying, bit parts in B movies they had to endure before they suddenly appeared in People magazine. Let us explore the tender, but generally inexplicable world, of celebrity romance. Of course, the most obvious factor is the lack of privacy. As you know, non-celebrity couples have prying parents, while celebrity couples have to deal with hordes of paparazzi and corybantic fans. The common couples have arguments, while the celebrity couples have the cover of Star magazine. Yes, normal people discuss their relationships with family and friends, while celebrities all issue statements confirming or denying reports. The pressure on celebrities is huge. Pressed by encircling pressure from their inner circle, fan base, and the public at large, it is no wonder they keep romance top secret. The media's latest craze with celebrity couples is the combo name.
