Emma Stone, and 4 Other Celebrities the Media Ignores
Celebrities that never make appearances are a paradox to us. Why choose to make movies and have your face recognized internationally if you didn’t implicitly agree to being followed and photographed at every possible turn? What, that isn’t what being an actor is about? Psh. Amateurs. But, actually, some of our favorite stars and starlets really only come out of their hidey-holes when it's time for a movie premiere, or an interview. These are the anti-Kim-Kardashians, the celebrity opposite to whatever Miley Cyrus is.
We never hear about them, so this slideshow is the equivalent of pouring one out for our celebrity homies. We get it, they need their own life, which I guess is fair, but we totally miss them and we wish they'd hang out in front of cameras more. (But not in a weird way.) These are people so private, we're forced to reckon with five billion stories about Miley Cyrus every day, since they don't give media an option to follow them with flashing bulbs. (Just imagine, a world in which all celebrities were covered equally!) Cheers to the celebrity hermits, those award-winning private people. You make our lives better every day.
Emma Stone
When was the last time you saw Emma Stone outside of a movie premiere or a cover of a respectable magazine? Never. Because despite dating a fellow movie star, Andrew Garfield, and being generally awesome, she keeps her pretty face out of the spotlight unless she's promoting a new project. Which is kind of sad, because she seems really fun, but also classy. Ah well.
Pharrell
Hey, remember that Pharrell has a kid, and a wife? I often don't, and neither does the paparazzi, because we never see that adorable little munchkin. Does Pharrell even exist outside of the studio/red carpets? We will never know.
Charlize Theron
This girl never makes the news anymore! She has a baby and a whole life probably full of awesome events and good times... but we wouldn't know. We can only guess at her life from the movies she makes, and thus far, she's been a serial killer, an evil queen, and a MRF (Mr.F!). Not much to go on, huh?
Erykah Badu
Not only does Badu only want to be seen when she makes an official appearance, she bugs out if someone tries to see pictures of her kids. Sure, there's been a few photos released of her third child, son Seven, but the rest of 'em? Ghost children. Which is probably good for them, but I bet Badu would go apeshit on the paparazzi, so ya can't exactly blame them for staying away.
Nicolette Sheridan
I didn't even remember Nicolette Sheridan existed until I started thinking of which celebrities I think the least about. But there she is, a constant enigma, a Brit who has come to embody American suburbia through her portrayal of Edie Britt of Desperate Housewives. But where's she gone?
