It seems like Celebrity Crime is something that the public seems to be fascinated with. Then again, how can we blame them? The media will STETCH a 5 minute incident into a made for TV movie because, let’s face it: WE LOVE TO WALK IN THE SHOWS OF FAMOUS PEOPLE!! That is UNTIL THEY GET INTO TROUBLE!! Being a celebrity is somewhat of a double edged sword because the same things most people get a “slap on the wrist for” like smoking weed (Michael Phelps)…celebs can lose MILLIONS of dollars over. But it’s those same MILLIONS that can get a person like OJ Simpson (DUMMY) off of a murder wrap. With that being said, it’s time to WEIGH IN on a few topics below:
Vick is on the way “out”. TI and Maydoff are on the way “in”….and Chris Brown, well “stay tuned!!” But let’s put a view issues on the table? Who made the BIGGEST MISTAKE? Who deserves WHATEVER is coming to them? Who deserves a break? Who have you lost TOTAL respect for? TI, Maydoff, Michael Vick, Michael Phelps, Michael Tyson, Michael Jackson and all the OTHER MICHAELS have one thing in common…CASES. Your thoughts??:

I think that celebrities have always committed the types of crimes that we are witnessing currently, however there notoriety exists because there is a market for this type of behavior unlike before. Celebrities are always aware of their status, this is a characteristic of individuals in the public eye, however they can no longer ultimately control what is put in the mainstream media.
There is no need for me to address any celebrities offenses as being more or less significant, but I insist that they be formally tried and judged within the guidelines of our American judicial system. There fame and fortune should be used when petitioning for mercy, thus the need for each and everyone to strive to provide the best quality of life for themselves and their families.
The media is reacting to the market for this fetish. I feel embarrassed for the celebrities who fail to understand that fame is a two-edged sword.
