Stinking Celebrity Behaviour!

We’ve all seen shows like ‘Celebrities Acting Badly’ where the bad behaviours of celebrities are laid bare for the world to see. Isn’t that just the truth? Most celebrities think they are above the common man and have a stinking behaviour to match. Some even think they are above the law! When they don’t get things their way they huff and they puff till they do.

Thank goodness the courts found Phil Spectre guilty and he deserved what he got and hopefully he will only see the light of day when the prison guards wheel him out in a body bag the day he dies in jail, the same fate he so cruelly bequeaths Lana Clarkson, the actress he shot dead in the head, just after he humiliated and taunted her for being a second grade actress and wanting to leave his house. Heavens know what would happen if a woman wanted to leave Phil Spectre’s house. The first trial ended in a mistrial and at that stage I contemplated to myself that it may end in another one of those miscarriages of justice that let the rich powerful defendant with his multimillion dollar defence lawyer get away with murder. OJ Simpson and James Blake come to mind immediately. If it walks and talks like a duck, then it is a duck but the highly paid defence lawyers are going into the infinitesimal detail to basically lay doubt in the juror’s minds. This is where jurors are put in a difficult position as if there is any doubt to the guilt of the defendant; they will have to find him not guilty. Some defence lawyers are scums for getting these murderers of the hook, and some of them know at the very beginning their clients are guilty. They will just never admit it. Anyway for being the callously depraved human being he is Phil Spectre will spend a very long time in jail for his crime. Let’s hope his appeal will never be successful. Women can be safe from this putrid person for now at least.

Continuing on with bad celebrity behaviour, you can’t ignore the queen of pop, Madonna. As usual what Madonna wants, Madonna gets and when the court in Malawi did not grant her permission to adopt a Malawi child she huffed and puffed in a fit of rage and shouted in disbelief. How could this scanty court in beggarly Malawi say no to her, one of the biggest celebrities on the planet, although what she was trying to do clearly violated Malawi law? Her previous adoption was a farce where she promised the child’s father he would have constant access to his son whenever he wanted and sadly one and the half years later, his son never recognised his father. No doubts Madonna is doing this only for Madonna and no one else, not even the child is more salient in this whole saga. If she really wanted to help the Malawi children, half her wealth would be able to build sufficient schools so all of Malawi’s children can have a school to go to. Why doesn’t she do that? No Madonna is doing this for Madonna and nobody else matters. Heck she even admitted it herself. When asked what her response was to her critics, she answered ‘It’s nobody’s business.’ Nobody? How about the child? How about the child’s family? How about the law? You see, these celebrities have been getting things their way ever since they can remember that to get knocked back by the ‘common people’ is somehow inconceivable to them. Their actions are nobody’s business, even if it breaks the law.

The mantle of spoilt and bad behaving celebrities has probably got to go to Britney Spears. We were thought from young that Mom and Dad know best right? Well she sacked her parents from managing her because she did not get things all her way with them. Most everybody Britney knows has been kissing up to her arse not because they like her arse but to basically get more of their hands on the Britney Financial Pie. That’s how it works in the celebrity life (not that I have experienced it). Who are your real friends and who are pretending to be your friends to get a piece of the action is blurred. When she sacked her parents, her life went on a downward spiral with alcohol and drug abuse a constant feature in her life, finally culminating in her being suicidal and sent to hospital and put under suicide watch. She lost custody of her two children to Kevin Federline and Dr Phil offered to help her recover from her desperate situation. Now you know you’re in trouble when you lose custody of your children to Kevin Federline and head guru, Dr Phil comes a knocking! Anyway, she came to her senses, sacked her ‘close aides’ who were only interested in making money off her and reinstated her parents as her guardian and manager again. Even Britney has hope!

We see time and again celebrities acting badly and it may actually be they way society idolises these celebrities that encourages these appalling behaviours. One only have to look at celebrities like Mike Tyson, Michael Jackson, Naomi Campbell, Lindsay Lohan, Nicole Ritchie, Oasis, Elton John, George Michael, Robert Downey Junior, Hugh Grant, Tom Cruise and countless others to know that bad behaviour amongst celebrities are common place. We need to look at things objectively. Everyone is good at something (mine is complaining) and it’s just that these celebrities are good at things the public really like and would pay lots of money for. We've put them up on pedestals and what is real and what is fantasy is no longer obvious to us. They shit, fart and burp like the rest of us. They fight, complain and divorce like the rest of us. But they insist on putting up this celebrity wall which makes them untouchable, different, more special than the common man, fuelling our ever growing desire to see them even more. Society is idolising celebrities and celebrities are milking this for all that it's worth. What happened to just admiring these celebrities for what they are, skilful professionals in their chosen jobs, nothing more? Maybe that way they won’t get such big heads which is encouraging their stinking behaviour.
