My top celebrity comeback wishes for 2008

My top celebrity comeback wishes, 2008:

Personal Struggles:

Brittney Spears – I would like to see her over-come the taunting and jeering by the press and get herself together. I would like to see her go on to be re-united with her boys and to find peace and contentment within herself. I for one, wish her well.

Drug Addiction:

Amy Winehouse – She’s such a mess, bless her! I would like to see her come out of the situation she’s in healthy, strong and ready to create some music! I’d like to see her husband come through his personal trials a better person and I hope their marriage makes it despite all the melodrama in their lives at the moment.

To me, careers can come and go, but these are two young women, both of whom are very talented and have entertained many of us in too many ways.

I don’t find someone else’s personal tragedies and struggles entertaining or funny. I don’t know what it’s like to have the kind of pressure that they live with everyday, but I do know that it would be so much harder to bear losing custody of my kids with the whole world watching, laughing at me and the pain everyone in my family is suffering.

I know that it could be really hard to watch someone that I love as much as I love myself, being dragged off to jail, while the whole world is putting their 2 cents in the situation. To have every short-coming, every failure recorded and examined by people that don’t even know me and don’t even care about me…

No, I don’t envy those girls a damn thing. I just wish them well and send them love and really, really hope that things work out for the best, not just in their careers, because anybody that’s read any of my articles know that I believe money will come and go… but love endures.

And that’s the greatest comeback these two ‘celebrities’ can ever make. To come back healthy, to come back strong, to leave the tabloids confounded… just when they were getting ready to write a couple of eulogy’s and platitudes on the sins of too much money coupled with too little education and the price of fame… blah blah blah

The etiquette that should be employed when meeting celebrities – Part 1

If you happen to live in the New York City or Los Angeles, meeting celebrities in public may be an everyday happening, but for the rest of us, the chance encounter with one of our favorite stars or other public figure can leave quite an impressionwhether it is positive or negative.

Being a celebrity or other public figure is indeed a different world. It is a vertical community where only the truly, hugely famous are afforded a royalty status of sorts; as the saying goes, the famous are different from the rest of the people around us.

It is also an area where the average person eventually takes leave of usual, acceptable social graces; I have seen and experienced these types of not so stellar behavior personally over the years both as a fan and in my own work. Fame mongers and fans that tend to take things a “little too far” (to state it politely) are permanently on the rampage, so any mere civilian is advised to brace themselves for nothing less welcoming than a glacial reception at best.

In chance sightings, it’s polite to ignore these high-profile people. They’re not public property and may have bodyguards around them. But if you happen to be walking down the street, in a store, or some other place and you see your favorite celebrity and cant resist ignoring him/her, feel free to smile and say “hello,” but do not stop them.

If they pause to acknowledge your greeting, it may be acceptable to stop and say something simple and genuine; such as how much you enjoyed their recent performance and how they added such depth to a role, for example. Avoid gushing comments such as, “Oh my, you are totally hot in person!” They’ve most likely heard that line millions of times, not to mention it’s just plain classless.

On introduction, chat needs to be pacey. Remember that there’s no such thing as an original line; they’ve heard it all before. Feigning total ignorance such as, “Sorry, you look familiar, but I can’t place where I have seen you before,” may be pushing it a bit. The wildly unfamiliar concept of anonymity may delight them, but you are in danger of incensing them at the same time.

Disassociate them from any signature character and don’t beg for them to perform their famous catchphrases or break out in one of their popular song hits. Avoid looking the fool and never ever remind them of any previous meetings; they see thousands of people in a year’s time and won’t remember you.

The first instinct may be to ask that person for his or her

The etiquette that should be employed when meeting celebrities

Meeting a celebrity can be a fun and worthwhile experience, for you anyway. For the celebrity, you might just be interrupting their dinner, preventing them from picking their kids up from school, or otherwise being an imposition on their lives.

The first thing to remember is that celebrities are people too, and just because you’ve listened to their music, watched their movies, or seen their television show, doesn’t necessarily mean you know them personally. Their public persona is significantly different from their private persona, and you need to keep that in mind.

All right, so now you’ve seen that celebrity in real life, what do you do? Start by considering where you are at the time. Are you sitting down to dinner, or are you out on the streets? If you just sat down to dinner, and Ben Affleck is enjoying his dinner at the next table, think about leaving the poor guy alone until he’s finished eating. How would you feel if a bunch of strangers jumped on you every time you raised your fork? Wait until he’s done, and he might be more likely to pose for that picture instead of throwing his dinner in your face.

Also take stock of the people around the celebrity. Just because someone looks like Lindsay Lohan doesn’t mean it actually is Lindsay Lohan. Celebs are far more likely to be surrounded by fans and paparazzi than they are to just casually be at the shopping mall. The last thing you want to do is to stalk some poor woman who just happens to look like a certain celebrity.

You may get the pleasure of meeting a celebrity at a meet and greet for their fans. As much as you might want to spend a few minutes with that person, remember that other people are waiting in line, and that your celeb only has a certain amount of time to spend there. Keep it short and sweet, and move on.

Remember that celebrities are real people too, and you should end up making them as happy as you are!

Will the actions of Lindsay Lohan or other out

No, not necessarily. The actions of Lindsay and others will undoubtedly give them a huge career boost if anything, particularly if (as is the case with many others including non-celebrities) the actions do not prove physically fatal. Speaking of career boosts, just remember what happened to the famous Bill Clinton after humiliating countless women (including his wife): I think, to our great discredit, this was a huge boost for himself and his wife.

Odds are that Lindsay, like most of humanity, will do a few more really stupid and/or illegal things that indicate for some reason she is fluctuating in her ability to care for herself and others. Have we not all been down that road to at least a small degree at some time in our lives (at least if we are to be honest)?

This also brings us back to another topic: are young people always ready and able to handle a rapid rise to fame and riches? Apparently the fame and money have not served to heal any other wounds, meet other needs, or bring the ever-elusive happiness we hope it will bring.

Lindsay has a much-publicized difficult relationship with her father, and that is certainly not going to help when it is not dealt with. Just because people are rich and famous does not indicate they will better deal with celebrity relationships either, or highly publicized breakups.

The fact remains, though, that just because the whole world hears about it when Lindsay (or anyone else who is famous) makes a mistake or abuses substances does not mean it will prove fatal, or most of humanity would be dead (or at least their careers -from political to homemaking to religious – certainly would be).
