Young Hollywood going to shit

When scanning across a section of magazines at a bookstore, celebrity gossip is everywhere. Our culture today wants to know everything about their favorite stars, so magazines like People and Us Weekly are in high demand. In the past couple of years, the stars of young Hollywood are increasingly becoming negative icons in the media. For example just this week, two of Hollywoods leading ladies entered Cirque Lodge in Utah to undergo treatment for various problems. Eva Mendes and Kirsten Dunst are both loved by the public and to hear they have a serious problems is hard to understand. Both actresses have always had a good reputation and are very talented in the film industry. It seems like every other day a celebrity that we have all loved at one point or another falls on hard times with drugs, alcohol, or an eating disorder. These are people who have an obligation to fans to be role models but they are falling short every time. The main question is why. Why do these young stars feel such a pressure to get involved in this lifestyle?
