My opinion on the Taylor Momsen situation and Glee media storm this pass week.
I honestly feel that people need to realize PEOPLE who are celebrities are NOT normal people. This by no means excuses the actions done by said celebrities, but there needs to be an understanding that this kind of stuff is acceptable in the media (because it's shown in the media and this makes that celeb MORE known and MORE popular). I'm a fan of Taylor Momsen because she is a BRILLIANT singer, a great actress, and she's a total bad ass. I found this whole situation very odd and wrong though and I think may be she did it because it seemed like a dull moment before she pulled her shirt down, or may be it was for some kind of shock value. The whole media storm that's going on around this only makes it worse...because why in the world hollywoodlife.com would even PUT a video of a 17 year old on youtube flashing a crowd is highly unbelievable and shocking (rather it was censored or not it's very disturbing) and I'm really disappointed with hollywoodlife because they did such a thing. Last week there was a HUGE media storm about the three glee cast members (Lea Michelle, Cory, Diana Agron) because of their RACY photo shoot with GQ and it was so ridiculous that the parent council stated it was like pedophilia when all three of these cast members are in their 20's. This is all my opinion of cross...but the whole deal with the Glee cast is absolutely fact and the whole media storm was RIDICULOUS because no child should even be reading a GQ magazine because of all the racy photos inside. Hopefully, Taylor Momsen wont do this again at least under 17..because it's just not needed...I mean she has amazing qualities as a person and doesn't need to do such a thing to possibly make herself seem darker. I just feel really sad because I don't want her career to be affected by actions like that when she can do so MUCH.

I'm sorry, celebrities are 'normal' people. Their role is just a little ambiguous. They sell fiction. If you buy into it you get a part in a consentual powerplay. The celebrities are the spruikers or the advertisments for a product (the movie, the show, the CD, the handbag, the makeup) that you buy from a retailer (the cinema, electronics shop, the record shop, the shopping centre) that they buy from a wholesaler/producer (film studios, TV networks, record companies, designer brands). It's the false notion that these people aren't 'normal' that causes these sort of issues Snow Vamp. They have a job that isn't even really that uncommon or unattainable. There are probably more celebrities (though what defines a celebrity is relative) on Earth than physicists specialising in string theory for example. You do seem to grasp that these actions are convention in the genre of selling powerplay and entertainment. But please, do not perpetuate the harmful notion that what they do is anything but 'normal'. That is when you get pious parent groups calling them to account for something that is legal, ethical (please understand that ethics and morality are relative too--a naked teenager is not really that 'highly unbelievable and shocking' or even 'disturbing' to a lot of people) regulated and that is bought into--a consent between the producer and consumer whereby the producer infers that the consumer understands and can decode convention, fiction and genre. That's why I understand people booing and rioting when Stravinski debuted Rite of Spring in 1913--he was defying convention. But I do not understand the hull-a-bulloo about those GQ photos. It's convention that in those sort of magazines, good looking girls (consentually--thus not like child porn as you stated the parents group purported) pose in suggestive clothing and positions to sell a product that makes profit for the retailer and producer/wholesaler.
ReplyDeleteVampires is not at all like in the movies or books. Sure, I understand. You are young you have the whole world open to you. You can be anything that you choose if you apply yourself and try hard to work toward that goal. But being a Vampire is not what it seems like. It’s a life full of good, and amazing things. We are as human as you are.. It’s not what you are that counts, But how you choose to be. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the Vampires Lord on his Email: Richvampirekindom@gmail.com
