And look at james brown. I've seen better looking heads on boils. You know he had women banging on his dressing room door too.

i don't care if he's an asshole

the only thing i care about is his music, which isn't very good

i really don't get why people care about celebs so much ... judge them for their art, not who they are as a person

it's not like you know them personally

There's so much of it and I only like a tiny bit of it.

I think people have some weird need to worship.

you're probably right. i certainly don't though. there's nothing i love more than not knowing anything at all about the celebs i like, because it really doesn't matter

Cause most people are followers, not leaders.

yeah but you can be a follower and just follow their art, not their personal lives

One shall stand, one shall ball.

Well that kind of matters in the sense that the image Cosby built for himself happened to be in stark contrast to his status as a serial rapist.

Did he actual admit to all that stuff, or what? I haven't heard anything about that story in a while.

When it comes to scandal, I think people like talking about it because it makes them feel better to think about other people's problems instead of their own.

People like to find role models in the entertainment industry in pursuit of their own dreams, I guess.

That's true. It's fun to daydream about having the life of some of those people, even if what they're doing is not a serious dream I have for myself.

Well it is a little weird to, like, watch reruns of The Cosby Show with what we know now even if you do separate the character from the person. Makes for a very different kind of funny.

Doesn't help when you hear about him being trash everyday now.

My problem with all of this is that it isn't new at all and no one took it seriously until recently.

I guess his whole family man shtick let him slip under the radar, unlike say, Michael Jackson or someone.

That definitely had a role. But mostly we as a species have seemingly decided that any woman claiming to have been raped by a famous person is full of shit. I mean some are but that shouldn't matter as much as it does.
