Celebrities aren't really that out of control. Most are doing stuff that most of us do anyway; the fact that they are in the position of being a celebrity and the closeness and obsession that we have with celebrity, which has reached new heights, is a big part of why we feel that they are out of control in the first place. What about the numerous individuals that have money that do stupid things that no one is talking about. Many of them walk away from these unfortunate events and still go on to maintain their lifestyle and live the life that they want to have. We are looking at every little single idiotic thing that a celebrity does and loosing sleep over it, if anything, we are the one's whose unhealthy relationship with celebrity who are going to suffer the most harm!

I haven't seen anything that exciting or that out of the way that these celebrities do that even shows that they are out of control to begin with. There isn't much many of them can do; you hear about drug use, alcohol abuse, wild sexual escapades. The type of stuff a lot of people without money are already doing. When you're broke, and no one knows you, this type of stuff can complicate your life really quickly and shut down your social life like no one's business. But when you have the resources that these celebrities have you never really have to suffer the full blunt of the consequences. So you do 20 plus days in the slammer and you have your liscense taken away from you. Paris Hilton is not riding the bus and doesn't really have to go anywhere anyway! She says she suffers from anxiety and claustrophobia; no one ever would have known that and it doesn't seem to impair her life that much.

Britney Spears cuts off her hair, she's still Britney Spears! Bald or not most guys would still want to date her; it isn't as if she's suffering from radiation treatments or anything, and that wouldn't get in the way for some of us either. All that these actions do is make celebrities even more interesting and show that they are more human. They aren't these artificial people that haven't done anything wrong that absolutely no one can relate to; they're just real people in a different set of circumstances. You cannot expect anyone the age of Lindsay Lohan's age to act responsibly anyway, not to mention the fact that Lindsay Lohan doesn't seem to have much of a work ethic. That will prove fatal to her career, and troublesome if she spends up the money that she does have. But I just can't see that happening anytime soon.

As long as we're still talking about celebrities and obsessing over them they have some type of future. Once people forget about celebrities their career is pretty much over, at least for the interim. It's hard to mess up being a celebrity, as far as your own personal life, if you can live with yourself and can honestly say that you do not have any regrets with the stupid stuff you've done I guess that's something we'll have to come to accept.
