Two young people who are famous in their own rights get involved with one another. Each of them has personal issues we THINK we know about, but probably have no TRUE idea about.
The reality is that the public is jealous of their talent, their fame and their fortune. So what does the public do? The public gets all up in their business as much as possible - up to the point where the two young people involved lose sight of what's most important ... one another.
I know of only two couples who have survived and prospered in spite of the gossip blogs & such. Shawn "Jay-Z" & Beyonce' Knowles-Carter and Will & Jada Pinkett-Smith. Hell, the Carters; when they were early in their relationship, remind me of that Eddie Murphy joke ... "It wasn't me." You saw them at public events together, but they never acknowledged it. It was like you were looking right at them being happy together, but the second those who didn't have anything to do with what they were building tried to get in the mix, they pulled down an iron curtain.
The reason why these two power couples continue to prosper and others consistently fail, is that they don't give hardly anything for the media to run with; and when they don't have facts, the media makes shit up. You see, to them it doesn't matter if what they're saying is true or not. In fact, the more far-fetched, the higher the sales. The mottos of the news media are "Sex sells," and "If it bleeds it leads." I believe that both Oprah Winfrey and Will Smith have won multi-million dollar lawsuits against some of these rags & wags spewing garbage about their lives.
I have heard so much BS concerning this Chris Brown/Rhianna situation and once again, people are not getting any facts. They're just spewing what "they had heard from someone who had heard what someone else said from what they had heard someone else say." I have listened to radio personalities try and explain how the legal process is working in this matter, only to show just how ignorant they really are about the legal process. Being in my vocation for 9 years, I know the difference between when someone is speaking what they KNOW about the legal process and when they are using whatever terms they learned from watching Law & Order, CSI, or any of the "Judge" so-called reality court shows.
People are running around yapping about the possibility of Chris Brown's career being over. Not likely. The public is a fickle glutton for punishment. There is ALWAYS a loyal fanbase who will support Chris Brown. Remember, even AFTER being charged with child molestation & child pornography, R. Kelly made millions of dollars and dozens of (music) videos using hundreds of beautiful models - all of which took it upon themselves to take those jobs.
Chris Brown will be fine. If he has a good management team, they will keep him out of sight for a while. His legal team will cut a deal with the D.A. wherein which he will get probation and have to take anger management counseling. After the deal is struck he will have to either make some kind of public statement or apology or maybe even have to do some anti-domestic violence PSA's (public service announcements).
In a nutshell, two young people are victims of Domestic Violence. That's the bottom line here. Beyond that everything else is Hollywood bullsh%t. The best way to become successful in any industry is to model those who have done and are doing what you want to do. These celebrities - regardless of age need to follow the paths of those who have been able to maintain their status and their relationship.
Like everything else, this too shall pass.
