I have something to admit. I swoon over Josh and Fergie.
I don’t follow their careers, and I definitely don’t consider myself a fan of either of their work.
But I adore them, probably because they strike that hard-to-find balance between the fantasy of fame and sweet mundane-ness of ordinary life.
By some rights, they are the typical Hollywood couple: the pop star diva and the small screen hunk who fell in love on set.
By others, they defy celebrity convention:
- They had nothing to gain politically or professionally by allying themselves in matrimony. [Just like regular people!]
- They dated for years before their engagement, stayed engaged for 13 months, and had a relatively traditional wedding and honeymoon. [The type of sustaining and sustainable romance everyone envies!]
- They did a luscious spread on newlywed - dare I say newlybed? - bliss for next month’s Elle magazine. [Fantastic famous people glamour!]
And here they are, on vacation again, looking pretty normal.
*sigh* Don’t change, kids!
