I know that I am.
While I feel a real sense of sadness for these young ladies, I feel that we have all become unwilling voyeurs watching these young lives spin out of control.
Flippping through the tv stations this morning, one couldn't help but see pictures of a very forlorn Paris Hilton getting ready to serve her "time" in prison.
Puleeze.
This is a sad commentary on how our young people are dealing with fame and fortune. It all seems so self-involved and egotistical. You know, the "it's all about ME" syndrome and all that...
I think that it might be time for some of these very over-privileged kids to begin to explore the concept of giving to "others" and see if they can maybe use their "fame" in a positive way.
Maybe then, they can become some much-needed role models for the young girls who are looking up to them as they are watching their every media-documented move.
Agree?

I ignore "famous" people. In my youth I met any number of them and WITHOUT exception, the more 'famous' the more self-involved the person was. If fame didn't come with money, these people wouldn't have any friends. Take the most annoying person you know, give him two billion dollars and 99.999% of the world would think that person fascinating.
It's good to know that you and I, Grammiekins, would still find that person annoying.
I agree with you, Grammie! I am so sick of these awful, self-obsessed girls - what disgusting role models for young women - and boys!
I think their behavior really speaks about their parents, however. At the risk of totally sounding like I'm on a high horse, what kinds of values did these girls' parents teach their kids, and where are the parents now that their kids are publicly strung out on alcohol and drugs? It's not like this just happened to these ladies - it's been going on for a LONG time. Sad, sad, sad.
We'll all screw up as parents somehow, but I have to wonder that this kind of thing could have been avoided with some good role modeling/parenting.
