It's interesting that the discussion mostly revolves around her money and whether she deserves it or not. I didn’t mention money in my introductory post.
It seems to me that more and more celebrities are gaining popularity because of how they spend their money and what they do when not on stage or on a movie set, and not because they sing or act great. But it’s the people who buy their albums and pay to go to their concerts, it’s the people who buy magazines with paparazzi photos, it’s the people who see their movies. Some of the celebrities have taken that to the extreme so that they don’t even sing, act or do anything; they just make headlines with things like – get arrested for drunk driving, go to rehab, come back from rehab, date someone famous, break up with someone famous, etc. Take Lindsay Lohan. Nobody talks about her movies. It’s all about how much she drank last night, did she take any drugs, and who she slept with afterwards. Oh, and of course, whether she did or didn’t wear anything under her skirt is of crucial importance. People actually watch TV and read magazines to find out such things.
And then you find out that Paris Hilton earns much more money than she spends on her parties and other silly expenses. Actually, she a good entrepreneur.
But I don’t resent money earned that way. The things they do is just a kind of marketing. I don’t resent the Olsen twins either. Do you resent a guy who is rich because he won the lottery? He also didn’t do almost anything to earn his money.
It appears that Miley is just taking the same path to get very, very rich.
