Miley’s life in the spotlight led to the young star to suffer from severe bouts of anxiety and depression. Long hours, a demanding schedule and tons of attention coalesced into a wave of emotional instability. “I would have anxiety attacks. I’d get hot flashes, feel like I was about to pass out or throw up. It would happen a lot before shows,and I’d have to cancel. Then the anxiety started coming from anxiety.” (Miley Says Hannah Montana Caused Body Issues, Interview). “You get in this hole that seems like you’re never going to be able to get out of.” She has also struggled with weed. “I think weed is the best drug on earth.

A celebrity is not a person known for his/her talent or achievement, but an individual recognized for his/her reputation created by the media. The phase of stardom is slippery, and media may choose to represent celebrities varying from exaggerated admiration to mockery. The three texts chosen, movie "Sunset Boulevard", feature article "Over the Hilton" and television show "Celebrity Uncensored Six" are texts presenting different perception of celebrities than their usual images - either corrupted by the encircling media, overloads oneself with self-indulgence, or just mocks celebrity in a broad spectrum. Such media items empower and impresses the audience by perceiving celebrities as people who pay the price of privacy to gain well

For example, the pop sensation, Britney Spears, was arrested five times in 2006 for driving while intoxicated. Britney Spears is one of 156 celebrities that are arrested per year for the same charges. If a child observes these crimes enacted by the celebrities, the actions demonstrate activities that can lead to jail time and deeply affect their future. In conclusion, a boy or girl should not look up to celebrities for their immoral and scandalous enterprises.

One of the top killers in Hollywood today isn't a killer, but is a pill, specifically a prescription drugs. Many people believe that the incline of drug use in Hollywood is not only damaging our new generations but making it more accessible for people in younger age groups causing there to be more deaths and overdoses each year.

Duff actually had exploded his pancreas

In today’s popular culture a big topic of discussion is pop singer, Miley Cyrus. She was a former star on Disney Channel’s Hannah Montana and now we have all seen her transformation from a girl to a woman. To avoid fading away like many other celebrity teen stars as they aged, Miley decided to reinvent herself as an adult musician by pushing the limits. Many people only see Miley Cyrus for her unadulterated VMA Performances and her frowned upon behavior, which most individuals don’t care to get to know. There is another side of Miley that has made a huge impact on society and has reached new levels in giving back to the community. Miley has dedicated herself to feminism, improving society’s image of women, leading the fight against LGBTQ discrimination, charity work, and using social media to expose societal issues.

Oops! Lindsey Lohan is in rehab again! Why wasn't Shia LeBouf on the last transformers? Maybe because he is an alcoholic now. Celebrities are supposed to be role models to today’s society. Being a role model would typically include doing charitable work or doing humanitarian deeds for the goodness of the society and environment.

When faced in court most cases, the jury declares them not guilty, or gives them the option the complete a given amount of time of community service or rehabilitation

A star’s image is a concept carefully molded by the celebrity himself or herself with the aid of many factors such as audience reception and current ideological trends. Star image, by definition, given by O’Shaughnessy and Stadler, is “the qualities, ideals, and values that a star represents, based on their films and other performances, and on media information circulated about them” (430). A change of star image encompasses the sum of everything we, as in the audience, affiliate with that star. That means changing the star’s body of work, promotion, publicity, and audience practices. These factors put together is also known as star text (Professor Josh Jackson, September 8, 2016, University of California, Berkeley). Jennifer Lawrence had a particular star text before she took on the role of Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games and was instead known for her role of Ree Dolly in Winter’s Bone. This new role launched Lawrence into a different star text she was previously known for. Though it seemed like the change is solely based on her landing an already popular role, the change in her star text is still calculated in order for her to maintain a certain image that landed her at the top of the celebrity social ladder. This careful manipulation of a celebrity’s image as she takes on a role that guaranteed a big impact on her acting career demonstrates how a star’s image is important when it comes to maintaining what the celebrity, and everyone who is working with that

It is all about strength and perseverance, believe despite the odds and what others say. To find success in the outside world you must first find it in yourself. In Ella Fitzgerald's own words, "Just don't give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don't think you can go

Kids see celebrities in the news every day and mimic what they do, thinking that they should be like them. But that is wrong. Most celebrities don’t know what they are doing in their life because they have a hard time telling reality from fantasy.
