Hollywood Is Overrated
Hollywood Is Overrated

Many years ago it was considered an honor to be part of the “Hollywood Life.” Famous actors and actresses were respected for their work and were actually talented. These actors and actresses took their roles seriously. They were portrayed as role models, and tried to keep their positive reputations in public. Today, Hollywood is chaotic. Celebrities do not take pride in their work, and they do not seem to care how people judge them. These people think they are invincible because they have money; and therefore, they do whatever they want, when they want to do it. Money is tossed around left and right like yesterday’s leftovers. I do not have much respect for those celebrities that live that lifestyle, especially like Paris Hilton, Tom Cruise, and Britney Spears. Paris Hilton is the most overrated person in today‘s society. She has done nothing credible in the entertainment business. The only reason she is considered famous is because of the “movie” that was leaked to the Internet. “The Heiress” attempted to act in a real movie, but it was a disaster. “The Simple Life” was her starring role on television, but all she did was humiliate herself, and show how much of a non-actress she is. Some people claim she released an album, but I have yet to find it in any stores. In my opinion, Paris has done nothing to make herself famous. She cannot sing or act; and she is nothing but a rich girl with absolutely no talent. Tom Cruise is another overrated actor. “Top Gun” has been the only decent movie he has made in his career. I think he became more famous when he married Katie Holmes, and especially when they had their baby, Suri. He seems too involved in his Scientology religion to study any movie scripts. If he would stop forcing his religion and himself on others, I believe he has the potential to make a rather good-quality movie. Ms. Britney Spears is another overrated celebrity. She does not care how she is perceived. The only claim

    Some say she is only remembered by her sex appeal and drug habits but it is so much more than that to me. I personally look past the sex and drugs and look at how she is so comfortable in her own skin and that just because she has some curves that it doesn’t make her “ugly” or “fat” it just makes her a little more meaty than most models are. She doesn’t cover herself up more because she is bigger she embraces it in a way to show other women that it is okay to be more the 100 pounds and that you can still be beautiful even if you’re “overweight.” And she never let the people who didn’t agree with her decisions and opinions change her and I think that is a big problem in our world…

    I know the entire world has heard of the famous pop star, Britney Spears. I am sure many would not think of her as a tragic hero, but with little research she you will find that she is in several ways. As a young girl Britney was introduced to the All New Mickey Mouse Club TV show when she was just 11 years old. In 2000 she reached the top of Pop charts with an instant hit “Oops, I Did It Again”. Although she was not born of Noble Birth or elevated status, she was born with incredible talent which brought her great potential as a singer and song writer. Britney has earned a net worth of over $200 million dollars which more than half is due to her amazing singing career.…

    Oops, She Did It Again

    • 1092 Words

    Over the past decade, Britney Spears has gone downhill little by little from becoming famous after being on Disney channel. While doing a case study on Britney Spears, I learned the music industry stole away her innocence and molded it into an attempt to transition from a pop princess to a sexy adult performer that would sweep millions. Her overexposure and paparazzi frenzy causes her to go insane because she has no privacy. Additionally, there is proof that Britney has had many psychotic breakdowns. Maybe the reason for her actions in the past has to do with the fact her children being taken away from her custody and her career going slowly down the drain. Also, she has been in a constant battle with drugs, alcohol, her ex-husband Kevin Federline, and the paparazzi. Secondly, some of the people she hangs with are bad influences from the get-go including famous Paris Hilton. Furthermore, in November 2006 after being friends with Paris, Britney was caught three times wearing no underwear on and exposing herself to the paparazzi (Cowboy). Afterwards, Britney made even poorer choices as her life began to fall to pieces even further which made her a bundle of fans. For example, after reading an article about Britney going downhill, a blogger wrote, “wow I used to actually like you until you became a whore and a crack head and then when you have your first chance you get your kids back you don’t even show up for your court hearings you’re a horrible mother” (Neyna). Many bloggers that used to be fans of Britney agree to this blog.…

    The celebrity culture that is idolized today was in actuality a ploy used to attract an audience following. Stars were created, not born. The Studio System comprised of The Big Five (MGM, Paramount, Warner Brothers, RKO and Fox), who are credited for creating some of the most legendary stars of the time, thus leading to the term ‘star system’. Studios invested a great deal of time and money into grooming and publicizing an actor, and owning him in the process, simply by signing him to a contract. When an actor had inscribed his name on the formidable piece of paper, he had no future of his own. Depending on his talent and the response his image got from the audience, he was either crucial or dispensable to the Studio he had been employed by.…

    Miley Cyrus, the person everybody has talked about since the VMA’s. The girl that was once a country singer and a Disney star, now is a bad influence for... well everybody. She has been of the charts for a year or two after her series had ended “Hannah Montana”. Then she had came out with a single hit “We can’t stop” and everybody was a little off because her music video made no sense from dancing teddy bears to making out with a doll in the pool, but the song was a big hit on its own. Then came the VMA’s, I guess she was drunk or on drugs cause she was so out of it and immature, she had song out of balance, and was everywhere and just looking like she was in outer space, don’t forget her clothing set, that is another issue, but nobody was satisfied with Miley. She had actually had took Lady gaga’s spot in being crazy, now she was just a disgrace to the VMA’s to everybody who watched. So she should be banned from any future ceremonies and contracts till she cleans up her act.…

    Ironically, one of the voices that is being raised against it is none other than that of the ultimate media machine, Hollywood. While celebrities take on the tabloid photographers who follow them around, the movie and television industry is giving us depictions of venal reporters and scheming entertainment conglomerates, which pull no punches when it comes to revealing how amoral our culture industry has become.…

    What’s harder is defining exactly why those people are so well-known. The celebrity today is more commonly famous solely for the sake of being famous, rather than for possessing any true talent. In an editorial cartoon from Investor’s Business Daily, this point is illustrated quite bluntly. In the image, a young, pig-tailed girl sits at the base of an ancient Mayan temple, on a slab that reads “CELEBRITY WORSHIP.” She looks up at her mother and father, standing beside her, and expresses her desire to be “just like” a number of celebrities: the previously mentioned Paris, Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, and Anna Nicole Smith. He parents, wearing traditional sacrificial headdresses and holding a skull-encrusted knife, reply to her, “Of course… after we remove your brain.” The caption of this cartoon is “The Human Sacrifice,” a blunt and fitting title. If the girl really were to have her “brain removed” and become as shallow and fame-seeking as the celebrities she mentions, it really would be the loss of a human life. The women she mentions as her role models are known prominently, or solely, for their scandalous lifestyles. It would be a waste of talent, the deprivation of a possibly great contribution to society if this child were to emulate the promiscuous, partying ways of these females she sees as ideal, that she finds ideal only because that…

    Celebrities today make thousands on end for what they do from actors, to musicians, to models , and athletes.I can understand that though because it takes hard work and determination to do so. Some americans however believe they dont deserve all that they get .For me i cant say they make to much or just enough because some celebrities are famous for being famous if you can understand that; for instance they might have a famous family member and they become famous because of that , But for all the celebrities that get it and worked for it they do deserve all that they make .It takes hard work and determination ,you cant be afraid to get up in front of thousands of people and make a fool of youself sometimes, and celebrities must like to bring joy because they bring people up when their down they provide a distractiion from the hard times and might make you even happier when you already happy the affect they have on people not just americans is amazing .…
