Funny how once they are dead everyone posts loving pics on facebook and wring their hands about the horrors of addiction, but when they are living with addiction it's a big joke and they are the object of ridicule.
It tends to help if the addicts had talent, & actually offered some form of artistic expression that left the world missing it, in its absence. Besides, Beiber isn't coping with addiction to my knowledge,... yet. He's coping with being a twerpy pampered douche nozzle

But if it helps any, I'm not unduly sentimental at all either. Take Amy Winehouse, for example. As far as I'm concerned, she was a train wreck in life. She died a train wreck, & that's how I'll always remember her

Plus, no one ridiculed Heath Ledger, or Philip Seymour Hoffman about their addiction. The majority of notable people who die struggling addiction are not ridiculed about it. The people we ridicule, are so ridiculed because they are ridiculous, overprivileged nutjobs running rampant, like Lindsay Lohan or Anna Nicole Smith. When those people OD, most intelligent people's 1st internal reaction is to think "Yup, saw that coming"

Honestly, before they died, I had no idea that Ledger, Hoffman, River Phoenix, Brittany Murphy, or Michael Jackson even had addiction problems

The only time in recent history I can recall people openly ridiculing someone for their addiction until they died from it was Whitney Houston, & it was wrong that people did that. I think they even had a goddamned reality show about how tweaked her & Bobby were. I find nothing amusing about that

I think that is it. We didn't know they were drug addicts.

I remember a lot of outpouring when Anna -nichole died. And there is reason lately to think that Justin Bieber is addicted to drugs.


As to them having some artistic expression I don't think that is fair. The media distorts everything we know about these people. Just because they made a good movie or some good music doesn't make the more worthwhile. Or even mean they ware capable of more. Justin Bieber has been locked into an image at 19 because of some really minor stuff. I don't think that means he isn't capable of great things. And so what if is or he isn't. Is life only valuable when you do great things?

I never think about Woody Allen. He's just kind of pervy to me now

And no, being a more influential artist doesn't mean your life is worth more, it just means you meant more to the people who celebrated you, which is why there's more of a public outcry when they die

I don't buy it. With the full bore coverage this kid gets, we'd have heard more than just that he's clubbing & smoking weed on his plane. The only thing I think that kid is addicted to is being Justin Bieber. I got no sympathy for that. Then again, I'm no expert, as I only hear about him... here

I can't buy into the poor, suffering rich & famous person nonsense all that much anyhow. Put on a hardhat & go strip copper wiring out of a demolished building for a living. Problem solved. The kid's got enough money that he could disappear into nothingness if his life is so terribly unjust & disquieting

Absolutely agree, if he wanted to he could. But one has to ask what effect the various hangers-on are having, wanting to keep him in the public eye !!

Well, to be fair, with someone who begins so young, we have to question exactly how much of their life they actually own, and how much was signed away, leaving him obligated to produce or face civil suit, & part of his career is being in the public eye, publicity, & public appearances, etc... However, it really can't be much more than one or 2 entities they are beholden to & eventually there's ways to get free of them, even if that means buying out contracts

The rest of how he lives his life is entirely up to him, & he lives it the way he does because he wants to be celebrated & adored & treated like he is golden, and when you see someone show public disrespect by pissing in an establishment's mop bucket, there is no mistake that he is acting this way because he knows it is disrespectful, & he knows that he can do it & get away with it, and he enjoys being able to push people around that way

And he does this either because he is an utterly contemptible little shit, with no ethical values, or he is acting out because the rest of his professional life is not owned by him, and he's sick of having to be a trained pony, so he is actually pushing to see how far he can sully himself & still be adored. Miley Cyrus is the same exact way. Being crass is the new celebrity role model because it can be, and they get off on being horrible people & still being worshipped

Some day, they'll be washed up has beens, and that's when we'll be reflecting on their sad addictions that they've picked up in the process of trying to maintain their warped existences, but I've got no sadness for them succumbing to a life of self obsession, only pity in that they are pitiful

well reports yesterday of him being nasty to the staff on a plane and him and his "people" smoking pot on the plane, apparantly his father was right there with him. If your dad is smoking pot with you as a teenager and being abusive to people it's pretty hard to see what's wrong with your behaviour.

(Reuters) - Actress Ellen Page, who was nominated for an Oscar for her role in "Juno," came out as a lesbian on Friday at a Las Vegas conference for gay teens.

"I am tired of hiding and I am tired of lying by omission," the 26-year-old actress said in a speech that drew roaring support from an audience at the Time to Thrive conference sponsored by the Human Rights Campaign.

"I'm here today because I am gay. And because ... maybe I can make a difference," she said. "To help others have an easier and more hopeful time. Regardless, for me, I feel a personal obligation and a social responsibility."

I kind of already knew even without her saying so. Kind of like that Jodie Foster thing. I can't really say it's shocking to me. Good for her if she felt the need to go public with it

As for Worthington... I don't really know the details, but if some paparazzi asshat kicks my lady friend in the shin. He should expect some knuckles to the teeth. I mean where's the fucking line?

I remember when Will Smith smacked a paparazzi guy for kissing him on the mouth. Frankly, I'm down with that myself too. That shit is an affront. I don't care what cultural nonsense card they want to call. I call bullshit. Liplocking an unsuspecting stranger is a ticket to smack city

The Duchess of Cambridge/our hearts, Kate Middleton, is maybe possibly pregnant with her second child. And this time, it's a girl! This is all according to some anonymous source who told The Globe, so take it all with the biggest grain of salt ever. Take it with a grain of salt fit for a princess! I don't know what that means, but the point is: A BIG ASS GRAIN OF SALT.
