Stars With Image Problems That Cost Them Millions Of Dollars

As a general rule, stars having an image of partying too much limits sponsorship opportunities, which means less revenue for you and your manager. Endorsers don’t want to log on and see entertainers and athletes being promiscuous, cursing and excessively partying and drinking. They will skip right over you for endorsement deals, as not fitting with their brand and it will cost you money.

Endorsers and sponsors don’t want stars representing their brands, who engage in said conduct. It would damage their brand. As such, it results in corporations foregoing sponsorship deals with such athletes, costing you hundreds of thousands, potentially millions of dollars in endorsement deals as an athlete. 

And over what? Partying and being promiscuous with women whose names you will not even remember. Years down the road when you have trouble paying your bills, you will regret those choices. Put things in perspective and realize having a career in entertainment and sports is limited and you have to make the most of it while it lasts. Don’t destroy your earnings capabilities by making poor choices.

Often stars in their teens and twenties think they're indestructible and know it all. The sad fact of the matter is they have a lot to learn about life. Rule number one, it is better to learn from other people's mistakes than your own, especially when your own cause you to crash and burn.

Stars Who Gossip

Stars often complain about bloggers posting their business on blogs. Some bloggers like Perez Hilton have become celebrities, which complicates things, regarding being in the same circles as the folks one reports on. Some celebrities like to pretend they are above it all, but are the worst gossips in industry circles.

Stars email and DM (each other) gossip on folks in the industry and sometimes outside it. They ask for the scoop on other celebrities and up and coming ones as well (mainly those they have a romantic interest in or want to work with or both). There's nothing wrong with talking, emailing or DMing a friend to find out about what they know regarding someone one is interested in. It can be helpful.

Where it gets really messy is when celebrities start getting into other people's personal family business and love lives in trying to sabotage others. Say what you want about bloggers, but when a blogger does something, at least it's out in the open, online for all to read.

 

The average bloggers isn't talking dirty about people behind their backs in trying to bring them down, quietly defaming others, spreading lies in assassinating their characters with an ulterior motive behind it all. Some entertainers are jealous of newly established or up and coming ones and will lie to and deceive others about them.

There's an incident regarding an established female star lying to an established male star about an up and coming female artist he privately inquired about. Girlfriend flat out lied to and deceived him out of jealousy. But the question is, what would her HUSBAND say if he found out and he will (it doesn't look good). She's not going to like what her husband or the guy she has been feeding lies will have to say to her. She's already married. Why mess up someone else's chance at happiness. What kind of friend are you.

Then there's the case of a male artist lying to his famous male collaborator about a woman the latter fell in love with. The male artist said he slept with the woman, when by all accounts, it is not true. He deemed the famous collaborator has become too attached to the young starlet he too is interested in, but didn't bother to tell his collaborator.  

Why Like Someone You Didn’t Before They Became Famous

 

When people become famous, sometimes there are folks, who didn’t like or care for them before, who all of a sudden do. It’s very insincere. Sadly, women are one of the worst culprits in this regard, but there are some men who are guilty of this as well, regarding the opposite sex.

I don't understand. If you didn’t like a person before they were famous, why like them after and start chasing them down. I'm not trying to be mean, but it has a superficial look to it. Who could feel good about that kind of attention. Money and fame shouldn’t change one’s opinion of a person. It has the appearance that you want something and not so much the person.

Furthermore, someone with that fickle view will not be there for you in the event your fame and money disappears. Learn to read people. Not everyone is true. Some will try to get close to you for money or career advancement. That's not a real friend.

However, some famous people are also guilty of questionable behavior in this regard. They become famous and forget their true friends. Some friends, who are violent and trouble prone, you do need to leave behind, lest they get you into trouble. However, your real friends, who may not be cool or glamorous, you shouldn’t forget. Don’t abandon your true friends, who cared about you when you had nothing.

Do remember, the same people you see on your way up are the same folks you will see on your way down (if your career declines, which happens to most). People often use the phrase "Keep it real." Indeed, be real with people.
