‘Newlyweds’ Exposes The Fraud Of A Modern Celebrity Marriage
Christopher Kelly of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram shared his thoughts on ‘Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica’, and the interaction between 98 Degrees star Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson. Kelly writes, “Only six episodes old, the show is fast turning into the most valuable cultural document of our young century: It’s both a study in our modern celebrity obsessions and a scathing attack on the celebrities who fuel them, Us Weekly and the old Spy rolled into one addictive package. Nick and Jessica are young, gorgeous, spectacularly wealthy, enviably privileged — and, ultimately, two gullible fools who have unwittingly given us front-row seats to the train wreck that is their celebrity marriage.” He added, “When you measure a marriage by how famous it is going to make you, how can the less-famous partner be anything but enraged at the other? This isn’t a marriage so much as a public relations campaign — a point brought home by the omnipresence of the cameras in their home, by the very existence of the show.”
