We all look at the glitz, the glam. The money, the fame. The fashion, the beauty. And we think to ourselves: "Wow. Wouldn't it be great to be rich and famous!?" But, you know what? The majority of these rich and famous people are those same losers from high school who were saying: "Wow. Wouldn't it be great to have a lot of friends and go to these amazing parties on weekends?"
This is the reason why we see celebrities going to rehab at a record pace. This is the reason why we see celebrities, most recently Charlie Sheen, Christina Aguilera, and Lindsay Lohan, all being rehabilitated for their drinking and drug habits. HELLO LOSERS....this type of behaviour is how you are suppose to act in high school, not when you're in your mid 20's, 30's, 40's, etc.
First, let's try and define, "partying." It's a term that is very hard to describe because, like many things, it is all based on opinion. Some people may think it's all about going out, getting drunk and going home at 3am. Others may contend that it's all about going to an upper class cocktail party. Then there are those who enjoy the odd house party with keg stands, wet t-shirt contests and make out sessions all over the joint. And then there are even some who identify "partying" as indulging in cocaine and jumping around a night club like a horny rabbit all night.
There is no issue with people who don't party hard. Heck, I'd be tempted to challenge anyone to MY kind of partying, but that's for another day. Some may consider people who party without regard as "lame." The only problem is when you see these 25, 35, 45+ year olds going to rehab, it's very sad. These people are losers. They never fit into the popular scene their entire lives. They make it big because of some God given talent that they have - and usually abuse - and then decide to use their millions of dollars to spend on booze, hookers and drugs. Since when is doing a mountain of blow with a couple of pornstars or hookers considered partying? Seems sad, desperate and lame to me.
Besides being nerds early in life and reaping financial benefits from their trade while growing up, why do these celebrities take such a drastic downturn? Take Aguilera, 30 (holy shit she's come a long way from 'Genie in a Bottle' haha) as an example. From a young age, her family knew they had a star. From the Mickey Mouse Club at a very young age, to international superstar all before the age of 20 would be hectic for anyone. Her life growing up, was no life at all. All she knew was singing. Therefore, she was out of a normal high school, always traveling and had no friends her age. She missed out on the beginning of the party years. Now, with millions in the bank, single and can do whatever she wants, she has falling off the deep end. It's a shame.
There are numerous example of these "cool" celebrities who have taken a terrible turn and I attribute that to a lack of a childhood, combined with millions of dollars, being in the public limelight and the ability to do and try anything they want as the reasons for these late party bloomers. The problem is, is that they don't realize how ridiculous a 35 year old coke head looks. Sorry to say, but you missed the boat. Stop binge drinking until you have alcohol poisoning. Quit doing obscene amounts of blow to the point of overdosing. Grow up. But most importantly, think about you family. Most of these loser celebrities who are acting like petty children have kids. "Mom, where's Daddy?" one of these beautiful kids will be asking one day. And the mother will have to respond with: "Oh, Daddy (Mr. Sheen) had to go away because he did 42 lines of cocaine." The day these celebrities smarten up, will be the day one of these pathetic celebs OD's in their bathroom.
No matter whether you're popular in life or not, early or late, poor or rich, ugly or hot, we should all listen to some words of wisdom from Lady Gaga: "we are all born superstars." So everyone live your life how you want but don't think that celebrities are these untouchable partiers because I can promise I know a good pack of people who would put them to shame.Thanks for dropping by,

- The Crying Miami Heat?
Well it seems as though with their latest loss, there were a few Heat players who were tearing up in the dressing room. Hahaha is this a joke. They're the third best team in the East, have only lost 4 games in a row and are destined to go pretty deep in the playoffs. Why, in God's name, are they so emotional? Media attention? 20,000 fans every night booing them? Looks like we're starting to see how big of a toll all this abuse is really taking on these pathetic losers. As Tom Hanks once said: "There's no crying in basketball!" Okay, he said baseball, but you get the idea.
