Celebrities are the most powerful people in the world!!!!

“Power creates a sense of entitlement.  Males are valued more over females and males have first claim on jobs.  Power creates invulnerability, leading to a flaunting of society’s standards.  People in power are surrounded by others whose job they control and who tell them how clever, smart and right they are.  They are increasingly insulated from the sanctions that ordinary people are subject to when they misbehave.”

This is a quote from my post for this week.  The topic of discussion was interest in and made me think of something that has been going on here recently.  (Now take into mind that I am a celebrity gossip junkie!) There are many celebrities that have been in the news here recently who believed they were above the law and that the law did not apply to them.  Paris Hilton drive drunk and thinks she is going to be let off easy.  Instead the judge places her in jail and tell her she has to serve her sentence.  So she thinks she can get out of it because she is a celebrity and does not belong in jail.  She gets herself released for “medical reasons” and goes home.  Unfortunately for Paris, the judge finds out that she broke the conditions of her sentence and he send her back to the pokie!!!  Sorry Paris, the laws apply to everyone including you! 

Another perfect instance of this is Ms. Lindsey Lohan.  After one DUI arrest, you would think she would lay low and keep off the streets, especially if she was in an altered state.  But no!  She gets high and drunk.  She steals a car and kidnaps the people in it.  She then drives across town and chases her ex-assistants mother around town in the stolen car.  While all of this is happening, she tells the gentleman in the car that no one can do anything to her.  She is a celebrity!  Poor Lindsey…she gets arrested again. Then she dissappears to rehab. 

But the sad part is…she was right!  All of her felonies were dropped and replaced with a few misdemeanor offenses.  She spends one day in jail and does some community service!  Man…it’s good to be Lindsey Lohan!!!
