nor do i. though i do think the media should stop focusing on her when there are clearly more pressing issues to focus on, it's obvious she has a problem and needs help. however, too many "celebrities" are seen stumbling out of clubs, collapsing in bars, running their cars off the road -- a slap on the wrist only glamourizes their lives and makes young women [and men, i suppose] think that this sort of behavior is acceptable [as deanna was basically saying]. i think everyone knows that if any of us pulled such stunts in the areas where we live, no one would think twice about locking our asses up in jail and issusing a dwi. and perhaps i was the exception, but at age twenty, i wasn't snorting coke, hanging out at clubs underage drinking with friends so the excuse that "she's young" and doing what everyone else is doing is shotty, imo -- this is not normal behavior. she's a spoiled and troubled girl who has been lacking any sort of parental guidance and has far too much money and fame that came way too fast for her.
