Personally, you shouldn’t hate on them for having a GED..its a quicker way of getting to the top..with a GED you can still attend college…They made it…Their wealthy aren’t they?duh…most people get in education just for the money.College is to prepare you for your career but if your already at your career..why go to college?a GED gets you to college so why not get a GED?If it wasn’t for the GED or “drop out” situation u wouldn’t even have a story…thats why we mainly mind our business..i don’t care how a person make it,as long as they make it legally..so why look down on them on their personal decisions?

The whole thing of “I’m important” can all be blaned on PBS. I call it the “MR Rogers Syndrome” As Mr. Rogers would say, “You’re special…” Well the celebrities actually think they are. Nobody can tell them that you’re special when you are 3 years old. Now that you are an adult you’re not special, you’re just a number. Hears a clue, the number you are as a celebriry is not #1

lol, American blog readers and writers are the reason Paris et al. are celebrities?!

I think you might want to have a word with all the magazines who’ve put them in editorials first.

This is one excellent article Celebitchy.

In a way, I knew it for years. How can we expect that adults who lived their whole childhood into a dream where they were told how perfect they are can develop as stable human being? This explain why A-List celebrities, Athletes and Pop-Stars are so disconected from reality.

If we add to that the tons of money they make every year, there’s no way they will take any contact with us, lowly mortals, anytime soon…

I think you, Americans, should ask yourself why are these girls celebrities. You read about them, you gossip about them, and then you complain about them? Doesn’t make any sense. Stop doing that and they will disappear in a second! You should definitely reevaluate your moral standards as a nation. As a person who was born and raised in Europe and now lives in the US I can see kind of a problem in that area. I’m not saying that Europeans are better, don’t jump on me right away. There are so many reasons why you are a great nation, and I do live here. All I’m saying is that we are teaching our kids wrong things. Party, shopping, shopping, party,….drugs,….shopping, party,….But that makes money and that is the most important, right? Who cares about kids. It’s all about money. In Europe people have more vacation time, 5-7 weeks to start with, 14 sick days, plus holidays, a plenty of time to spend with kids and family. In the US parents have much less time for kids because they have to work long hours, 2 weeks vacation, and then TV, media, and tabloids are left to raise kids. No wonder why some of them choose “easy money” over years of education.

It’s self-selecting. You have to have a lot of confidence to give Hollywood a shot, and to keep on trying until success hits.

I don’t think that all celebrities automatically lack real-life skills. Those that find extreme success at a young age are more likely to have a skewed persepective, as someone above pointed out. Heirs and heiresses who were raised to rely on their fortunes probably have the same issues.

The parenting style probably has a huge influence on how the kids turn out. Compare Chelsea Clinton to the Bush twins.

Great Post Celebitchy! Love it. Its sad with so much money that these women cannot bother to get more education. And what is even more disturbing is that there is not more of an outcry from teh american public. Money is a barrier to higher education for many, but it was not for these women, and now they are role models. ITs so sad.

Britney and I both attended the University of Nebraska at Lincoln Distance Education High School. I attended the program for my junior and senior years of high school because my intense training schedule did not permit me the time to attend high school like most normal teenagers. POINT BEING: I graduated at 16 in 1999 and, at that point, Britney was still Freshman status.

I actually think it’s family life and upbringing that makes them narcissistic. Even if they appear to have model families it isn’t necessarily so on an emotional level - and attention-seeking behaviour usually proves otherwise, afterall, why seek it if you’ve had it all along?

I was actually reading a book that covers this and it mentions that non-empathic rearing is usually what causes problems, particularly in the first three years. But that’s digressing…

ps - not all child stars go nuts. Natalie Portman, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Christian Bale all seem to have dodged those particular bullets. We’ll have to wait on Dakota Fanning, though.
