Hollywood BAD real life GOOD

It seems to be everywhere - celebrity has pretty much taken over as the main obsession nowadays.
Now on a base level, I don't really have any problems with the idea of celebrity, people put themselves out there for their talents, whether it's their skills with acting or their beauty or even the fact that they wear very little and turn up at events as socialites, everyones got to make a few quid right?

However, on the current trend of things, I'm beginning to believe that this is turning out to be far more damaging to the world than I originally thought.

I was scanning through IMBD.com as I tend to do when I came across a film by a relatively unknown director featuring Lindsay Lohan - a girl who seems to be known more for her good looks than the semblance of any talent whatsoever, was she in the Herbie remake? anyway, it appeared that she walked out on the film leaving her director and the cast high and dry because "she wants to work with big name directors". Now, you're surely saying "but why is this damaging to the world steve?" Well, I'll answer you if you'd ever SHUT THE FUCK UP! (sorry)

You see, in my opinion (and that's all it ever is) things are often best in life when you earn them, and I would imagine acting is pretty much no different, now i'm probably not 100% right, but she's 20 years of age - hardly an adult - wouldn't she be better perceived by the general public if she cut her teeth with some edgy unknown cinema first? fighting her way and earning a place amongst the elite in hollywood? Of course she would, but then again - it's not entirely her fault - the system has to come in for some of the blame too.

In the throws of promoting a film and making money, you'd want the biggest names available to BE in your movie, often replacing talent for just a name. So as I said at the beginning everyone is entitled to make a few quid - Lord knows most of us need it.

But what really dusts my muffins is the fact that Ms. Lohan cited a reason like not working with a big name director as her reason for leaving the film, it annoys me that little stains like her think they are above anyone let alone some bloke just trying to make a film, AND to further freak me out I saw a trailer for Ms. Lohans new film (featuring McFly) and it looks like the biggest heap of garbage one could imagine.

Now, before I go off on one here, Lohan is not the only problem, infact, thats really just the tip of the choc ice, the most harmful being looks and beauty, and the idea that being as skinny as a rake is attractive. I see magazines where you can literally see these peoples ribs and women walking around with MASSIVE heads on tiny bodies - surely I'm not alone here in thinking that it's disgusting?

These women have to run around in the shower to get wet for goodness sake - and this is having a knock on effect with women who are reading these magazines. My mother - who couldn't weigh over a buck O five - stopped bringing sambos into work because she was told by some anorexic fitness instructor that she was overweight - and i'm not seeing things through rose tinted glasses here - the woman is as skinny as a rake.

Anyway - I don't know what anyone could DO to sort this out, but I think the problem firmly lies on the doorsteps of the people in these magazines and the mags themselves.

Am I wrong?

AM I?
