Celebrity struggles

[james-witton]

I’m getting sick of this.

The BBC giving air time and therefore legitimacy to a young actress as she describe her ‘life struggles’. Who she is as a person and all that. As her manager, stylist, PR and PA no doubt look on.

Dove Cameron: 'Difficult being a young girl these days' https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-5000...

Why do we listen to these people with gilded lives, earning millions of pounds about their self obsessions?

Tell the children in Syria about your struggles love. I’m sure they will be most sympathetic.

Here’s a quick quiz. Look closely and see if you can guess from the pictures below who is struggling?







And... relax....

It's a news website so has to have a diverse range of items for people with different interests or they will just go to other websites.

Do you think it should have a sports section? Sports is also trivial - no?

Damn BBC and their news stories!

Sack ‘em all I say.

In fairness, she looks a lot healthier since she resigned as PM.

The thing is, many of our population today are mollycoddled, self interested wasters.

That attitude is encouraged by the onslaught of thought discouraging soaps and reality shows and PC driven social change.

Is it any surprise that there are many who’ll give the pathetic subject of this thread more than a passing glance?

Hounslow Highways and their subcontractor should have resurfaced that road, they ignore the side streets way too often.

First World problems, these pampered celebrities have not faced the constant pressure most girls have faced with looking a certain way, being a certain weight, being popular with peers, online bullying now made worse with mobile platforms such as Snapchat and TikTok. As a dad of three daughters, I worry for their future as much as I'd worry for a son in this celebrity-driven world we live in. Everyone wants to be an 'influencer'

We rarely hear of news events elsewhere, we are probably only hearing of the Japanese typhoon because our rugby team is affected at the World Cup. Everything is Brexit this, Stabbing that... but we'll only hear of war in Syria and other parts of the world, but rarely any of their successes or achievements.

Right now, it's upper-middle class protesters who were attempting to bring London to a halt telling us about the Climate Emergency here. But let's see how much they would reach into their pocket and help someone in poverty in our picture above

I bet the kids in those pictures who have very little are still happier than any kid in the West.

It's bizarre visiting areas where people really don't have anything yet you will see more smiles per mile than any city in the UK.

I'm not sure I can remember a time when there wasn't a number of mollycoddled, self-interested wasters.

Would an article on the trials a tribulations of a youth, brought up in a high-rise, with a single parent, trying to avoid gangs, be such great click-bait? The Mail online would not exists without such breast beatings from the privileged.

There is plenty of information available on- and off-line about the problems in the third world. It's not as if anyone is forced to read info on film stars.

[poo at Paul's]

I agree entirely. All these poor hard done by "slebs" can fk right off as far as I am concerned. They should count themselves lucky to be in the position they are, and they should STFU about it.

I think the idea of a news website is that you read the bits you want to and ignore the rest. I don't think anyone will read it all.

Pah, the children in Syria have it easy compared to those in Yemen. Bloody Syrian kids, they don't know they're born.

And that's the issue, should we not report anyone's suffering unless absolutely no one else has it worse? If so, why are we even on a website where people discuss their motoring problems. So you hit a pothole, who gives a fk, in Angola you'd be stepping on landmines.

[glazbagun]

I'm pretty meh about it. I can choose to ignore stories about celebrities and I can choose to go digging for stories about starving orphan child labourers if I so desire.

I don't think it's a coincidence that so many child actors/celebrities end up a bit of a mess and why they marry other celebs. Their life has taken an unusual path and there's not many who can empathize with them and far fewer who will have sympathy for their problems.

Likewise the Caparo CEO who killed himself despite likely being richer and more successful than most at the time. Everyone's the protagonist in their own story after all.

She is 23
It isn't that young

Yep.
Mind you, she's had more surgery work done (allegedly) than I've had in over 3 times that age figure!

I couldn't care less. Except for the fact she influences really 'young' kids. Sad.

Cultural hypochondria and individual self-obsession

[Andeh1]

How about a devil's advocate point or view?

Just because you are rich doesn't solve all of lifes problems, you just get a set of problems money can't solve.

The stress of keeping up appearances or else getting torn down by the media, having opinions in favour of the latest thing... Or again hounded by the media (charity, politics, environmental etc)

Every friend, family member & relationship you have, needing to double guess it over 'is it for me, or my money'?

The stress of quickly feeling unfulfilled & needing to go ever further combined with free access to drugs, drink, women & unhealthy outlets.

The fact that at 23 she might already be about to peak & beyond her looks she has little else? That's gotta be a serious weight on her shoulders....

We are 100s & 100s times richer then 50%+ of the worlds population, do you think we are 100x happier? Or have we just got a different set of problems weighing us down? Why are those wealthier then US any different?

They tell us because celebrities are better than us and we need them to guide us on major decisions. It helps to show the human side of our Gods.
