How Awesome Must a Man Be in order to Hook-Up with Kelly Clarkson?  

Well..First of all, Kelly Clarkson "does not hook up" apparently (according to that song of hers, anyway. LOL). And I agree with you in a way, it IS sad that you don't see too many celebrities dating "regular" every-day people, but I suppose it's probably just because dating a non-celebrity is hard work and vice versa - I would imagine that the non-celebrity would have to be EXTREMELY understanding and tolerant of the celebrity's situation. I know that if I was dating a celebrity, the paparazzi, tabloids, the unwanted attention, and long gaps between when I saw them (because of business trips, appearances, promos, and so on) would probably drive me off the wall and would wreck the relationship.

I think it's because they think they have to go to a certain level of anything to keep their name on the top of the charts to them anyone is just a stepping stone to get the number 1 on the list. I don't think the celebrities have the same way of thinking as they did back in the older days. It reminds of a movie where the Prince of some country goes to New York City to find his dream wife because all the other people close by would just use him for his money but he knew if he got a girl to like him for his true character then when he told her about his money he knew she wouldn't just be a gold digger.
