And I don't care that some baseball player abused drugs. Unless it directly affects me, I don't care. Life is too short to be even wasting my time on such nonsense.

And I didn't realize celebrity was a choice. Man, you think if that was the case, we'd have a lot more celebrities in the world. But we don't. You know why? It's not a choice. If it was, everyone and their uncle would choose to be celebrities.

Please think before you speak.


this is the most rediculus thing i've ever read.

reguardless of what the hell you think, he's in front of people's face every day. therefore held to a higher standard than "normal" people. all celebrities are. otherwise their career is over. their's a reason they're called "idols"

just because you think that people can act the way they want without any sort of remorse, does not mean that a celebrity is held at a higher standard. and yes i'm sure there is something in his contract that says he needs to act like a role model to kids. let's see him show up to work on monday and his record label act like nothing happened.

and either way, for doing what he did his career is most likely over. *cough* cough* micheal vick. and don't go around telling me to "think before i speak" beacuse i assure you 90% of people agree with my side that celebrities are held to higher standards.

please post something worth our times or shut the **** up.
