Now when you walk into a newsagents or a shop, what do you see? Books, magazines, newspapers which all have the news and the latest dramas of celebrities’ lives. People think that celebrities’ work hard and are great, whether they are good or bad, fake or true. But I’m here to tell you why I think different.
Firstly, some celebrities’ are being paid for being bad role models. Kids see these magazines and newspapers with pictures of celebrities doing inappropriate things. Think about it, if you were a parent would you feel comfortable with your child seeing these images. As an example, recently in the news rihanna had a photo shoot taken wearing only tape and some shorts. “Rihanna gives passers-by an eyeful as she goes topless on the beach” quoted from the Mirror. Yet these celebrities are getting paid vast amounts of money for doing these types of things.
Secondly, celebrities will do anything as long as they become more famous, likeable and richer. The media encourages this as if they want our younger generation to waste their parents hard earned money on these already grossly rich celebrities when it can go to better places for example like charities. We have to stop this.
NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO BE SO ABOMINABLY GREEDY!
I understand that that you have to work extremely hard to become famous (in most cases) but when they do become famous they ruin it so easily by taking drugs or just doing something stupid. Like look at Justin Bieber, he has everything he could possibly want yet recently he got arrested for drag racing and driving whilst being drunk and high. Imagine if he had killed someone. What we think then? Even though they worked hard to produce a song or a movie that doesn’t mean that they can just sit back and relax for the next year while the money is just coming in. they
