Justin Bieber and Demi Lovato. The latter self-destructed this week and is in rehab at age 18.
The temptations and perils of Hollywood, often resulting in young entertainers self-destructing, via drugs, alcohol, promiscuity and financial ruin. Many develop emotional and mental problems, as a result of being abused and sexually propositioned by adults in the industry. When one sees a young singer like, Justin Bieber, attaining global success, one becomes concerned for him, due to the inevitable pressures that accompany fame.
Who will protect Bieber from the madness and pitfalls of Hollywood. Who is looking out for his best interests. His parents are being pushed out of the picture by the corporate machine that released his debut CD, which launched him to stardom. At 16, one can only make so many wise decisions, as one does not know much about life.
Once again, world governments with prominent entertainment industries in their financial sector, should develop legislation aimed at protecting young entertainers, as so many of them have been met with heartache, tragedy and death. It would save many lives.
