Dialogue1
Mckenna: Did you watch the Oscars on Sunday night?
Seth: No, but I heard that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt didn't attend.
M: Yes, that was surprising. I heard that they got into a fight and then decided not to go.
S: They must be the most famous celebrity couple in Hollywood.
M: They're also one of the richest couples. They have so much money that they can buy almost anything they want.
S: I also heard that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes made an appearance at the Oscars.
M: Did either one of them win an Oscar this year?
S: I think Tom might have been nominated for one of his films, but I don't think he won anything.
M: Tom Cruise may be handsome, but I think he's a bit crazy, don't you?
S : Yes, his marriage to Katie is actually quite scandalous.
M: I still think that they only got married to get more publicity for their movies and themselves.
S: People in show biz can have such an easy life; I don't know why they have to make it so complicated.
M: I would never want to be a celebrity because the paparazzi would also be after you.
S: That's true. I guess it would be difficult to have people taking pictures of you everywhere you go.
M: Thank goodness we're not rich and famous!
S: Being famous, I can do without, but I wouldn't mind being rich!
DIALOGUE2
S: Have you read the feature article about Oprah Winfrey in this magazine? M: No, what's it about?
S: Apparently, she's being given an award for donating so much money to charity.
M: She's very generous with her money.
I think that's because she was poor when she was young.
S: I heard that she's one of the wealthiest women in the world.
M: I'd believe it. She owns magazines, television shows and she has a huge fan base.
S: You know; I heard that she was opening a school for underprivileged girls in Africa.
M: Did they mention that in the article?
S: Yes, she's not only building the school, but is also using her own money for the upkeep of the school and to pay the teachers a fur salary.
M: That's really commendable. I think more celebrities should use their money to help people like Oprah has.
S: I agree. So many celebrities waste their money on sports cars, expensive clothing, and luxurious hotels.
M: It's amazing how much money they can spend.
I heard Britney Spears once spent $ 24, 000 a night on a hotel room!
S: What a waste. It's good to see some stars that are more concerned with charity than status symbols.
