Celebrities and Jail

So, it seems that celebrities just can't keep themselves out of trouble. It's one thing to have an addiction problem (which is hard to escape in the business) and quite another to be in an out of jail on petty crimes every other week. In the past, celebs would get charged for something major like murder, but now days its anything from hitting someone with a cell phone to driving the wrong direction on the freeway. Why can't they just act right? Is it that hard to do your drugs in the privacy of your own home, hire a driver, and refrain from assaulting people? As a multi-million dollar football star, do you have to bring your weed with you on the plane? I hate that the media feeds into this crap (although, I guess I am guilty of both writing and reading about it. =)). We didn't need more coverage of the Paris to prison situation than say Katrina or the Tsunami. Do these stars really think they are untouchable? I'm glad Paris had to do the time, as well as Lil Kim and Martha Stewart.

Next to go to the pokie is rapper Foxy Brown--who clearly needs anger management more than Naomi Campbell and Eminem combined. A year in prison should have her thinking twice about assaulting nail technicians and spitting on beauty supply workers. Please BET-no Countdown to Lock down Part II (can you believe that show was the Number 1 rated show on BET--WTF--BET steals formatting ideas from everyone and when they finally come up with their own-its some crap like that?'--although HELL DATE is hilarious!).

OK, back to the topic at hand, is there a difference in reasoning behind why black and white celebrities get into trouble? Do whites get into it because they think they can get away with anything? Do blacks feel the same way or have some not grown out of that hood mentality? Football players causing riots by making it rain, having dog fighting rings, and starting fights is just STUPID to me! Why risk your entire career on a weekend at the strip club? How can PacMan Jones be so cavalier about an incident that led to a man's paralysis? How hard is it to not involve yourself in illegal activity WHEN YOU MAKE MILLIONS?

Finally, Trick Daddy apparently was involved in an altercation at the strip club this past weekend and was arrested. The fight occurred in some strip club named Tootsie's Cabaret! He was charged with resisting arrest and disorderly intoxication. He is currently being held on $1,500 bond. Witnesses say Trick got knocked out during the fight and had to be taken away by ambulance.
What are your thoughts? What celebrity arrest just really pisses you off?

Celebrity arrests only goes to show that they are no better than anyone else in this world just more notable. Thousands of people are arrested all the time but don't show up on the 5 o'clock news. Does bother me one bit to see celebs get treated like the rest of us, or maybe not. It is what it is. I for one, with the exception of you and Nicole's blogs, don't pay much attention to what's going on in someone else's life. I can't barely keep up with my own drama.
