Media, giving an unfair look into fame?

In the society of America there is a huge passion for following the rich and famous. Most of this coverage is posted in magazines and tv shows that shows the daily lives of many of Hollywoods biggest stars. There have been many stars that have imploded under the spotlight. Such as Britney Spears, Which is having one of the all time greatest breakdowns. 

To the more important part of the discussion, are the media types actually glorifying the aspects of being rich. They seem to make being out of control and that living a life of no real responsibility something that everybody is doing. I'm not saying that the rich in Hollywood are irresponsible but the way they are portrayed makes it seem that way. They only show tidbits of people shopping and partying or eating at a 5 star restaurant. Most people think they are one American Idol appearance away from fame, or some how fame happens over night. The only problem with this is that these stars have a rugged schedule, and they have a lot of hard work to get to the place in their lives that they are at. Time and time again we have someone living their lives as if they are one step from making it big. I'm sure we all know someone like this. Only to have that person to fall on hard times and never live out something that they have always wanted. After this happens we all know what comes next the excuses that we all get to hear time and time again.

If the media really wants to report the real story, report some blood, sweat, and tears. Report the agony of defeat and the courage to not give up and then fighting the way to the top. Try not to mislead with a 10 minute clip of someone in a bad moment or a shot on the red carpet. The more important part of all this is that the process of getting to stardom is a whole lot more important than the fame. When you take care of the process the end result usually takes care of itself.
