EXTRA EXTRA!! Pop sensation vomiting out of a nightclub! Scandal!! Actress loses it and throws beverage at paparazzi! It’s a bit amusing how entertainment media reports the lives of every celebrity that steps “out of line,” or is it the so called reporters that our stepping out of line?
Some of us would say “No”, but the majority of us would leap on the prospect of living the life of a celebrity. Who doesn’t want the perks of vacationing all over the world, having someone wait on you hand and foot, receiving freebies from designers and all the other perks that come with being a celebrity? The question is do we want the downfalls that come with fame? Can we handle vicious tabloid scrutiny, fabrications, and assumptions? Being a celebrity has its perks, but at what cost? Fame and money can be the root of all evil. Never the less, we are contributing to the madness when we purchase tabloid magazines, watch entertainment shows that follow celebrity activities and judge them for their actions.

Growing up, she felt neglected by those around her. After her parents got divorced, Courtney seemed out of control, as she didn’t know how to cope with it. She was then raised by her mom for a few years, but Courtney was so intolerable that she was abandoned by her. She jumped from foster home to foster home and found herself all alone. She got into trouble plenty of times with money, legal issues, careers, and substance abuse, yet she persevered. Courtney Love is an inspiration to me because she strived to get what she wanted, formed a band that is one of the main reasons I play the guitar, and successfully cleaned up from substance abuse after a long battle with it.

On his most recent release, The Life of Pablo, the song “Facts” claims a shocking twang of sympathy for Bill Cosby and a harsh slam on the Nike brand. Kanye’s lyrics can often be wild, because he is one of the few mainstream rappers who throw their political opinions into the mix. At the start of his career, however, masses trashed West for not saying what he felt, and claiming him unsuitable for the rap business due to his upbringing in the middle class. "I was mad because I was not being taken seriously as a rapper for a long time […] I was disrespected as a rapper” (“West, Kanye”). Kanye spoke out on the topics he saw as issues, and the rap community soon accepted
