Well, it’s almost a cliche, but young Hollywood is out of control. Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, and Nicole Richie are all in trouble at the same time. A critical mass of young stars are all facing big trouble.
If any good can come of all the publicity, it could be to make other people think twice about drugs and drinking, and that even people who seems to have it all have character flaws which cause them major life problems.
Actually there are plenty of young female stars who are not strung out on drugs or wallowing in the gutter. They’re working, making films. Take for instance Anne Hathaway, Keira Knightley, Jessica Alba, Michele Trachtenberg, and Kirsten Dunst.
“A critical mass of young stars are all facing big trouble.”
Makes you nostalgic for Madonna and Morton Downey Jr, does it? How about Elvis and John Belushi and, if you really want to get retro, Hank Williams and Fatty Arbuckle and Aimee Semple McPherson?
Hint. It ain’t nothing new.
