It's really sad when you think about it.  There are so many celebrities out there who are under the horrible code of “celebrity behavior.”  This evil code is why we have so many celeb gossip magazines, and why our news channel should be showing news pertaining to politics or “just in” news, not segments on Britney Spears.  The really sad thing: the American public loves it!  Time for confession; we're all guilty of it.  When we saw that Paris Hilton was in jail we were all pinned to our television sets.  When Lindsay Lohan was put in rehab, everyone was watching and interested. 

These heiresses, singers, actresses, or what we like to call celebs or “stars” are being publicized for bad behavior that the American public loves.  When you're in the grocery store line, you see all of these headlines from People and OK!and can't help but wonder what's in the story.  Granted, half the time these magazines lie just to make a great story, yet these magazines continue to sell.  While celebrities life information is going around on every magazine rack the people of these magazines are making money.

Sadly, these stars often started their careers as kids, and the public is now watching them make poor choices as adults.  We look back at stars like Lindsay Lohan as a child in Parent Trap and wonder how on earth she ended up the way she is now.  Or Britney Spears, who was just a cute little kid on the Mickey Mouse Club who could sing, now has been turned into one of the most messed up stars out there.  The list goes on and on.  These “little stars” were probably so excited on their first movies and television shows, to just be unlike all the other kids at their school.  I wonder if they still think its worth it. 

Some people think these stars are so lucky.  They have money, cars, houses, and something that almost everyone wants which is fame.  But why is it then that these stars are the ones who have so many issues and are so unhappy?  Owen Wilson just tried to commit suicide.  Maybe the celeb side isn't all it’s cracked up to be.  Maybe we don't think about how it is in the star life.  I think these stars need support and guidance to stop this cycle of bad behavior and not have their problems sold out to people in magazines or told through television.  I don’t think this is the fame they were looking for.
