Rehab – The Trendy “Fix All” For Celebrities?
You can be racist! Be a homophobe! Be a drunk! Be a slut! Be a drug addict!
It’s okay because the prescription to fix it all is…of course! Rehab! Haven’t you heard? It’s the “thing” to do these days. Wanna be even more famous? Go to rehab! PR baby PR.
Most normal people get a bit alarmed when they know someone who has had to go to a rehabilitation center. Certainly, it is very neccessary for many people in today’s society, but it is seemingly the way to get out of just about anything in the entertainment world.
For example – we all know about Isaiah Washington’s publicist’s decision to go to rehab to save his career after not once, but twice being absolutely discriminative in the public eye. Who goes to rehab for simply being a homophobic ass? Rehab is suddenly going to stop all of the feelings that are obviously instilled in him?
How about Miss USA who disgraces the representation of our country in pageants by coking it up and running around like a 2 cent tramp? Oh there she goes! Rehab for a few weeks and all is forgiven and all is well! Put the crown back on and do your thang girl.
Lindsay Lohan?
Mel Gibson?
Robin Williams?
Pete Doherty?
People make mistakes, I understand but my my, these are alot of people making mistakes. While most would be dropped off the radar, these people are getting highly commended and given constant second, third, fourth chances.
Is it a matter of genuinely wanting to change? Or rising up the Hollywood radar in hopes they will salvage their disgustingly tarnished reputations. A bit of both perhaps.
Note: You can mess up as much as you want. Just make sure to go to rehab after k?
It’s much like saying “Oh wait, I will be stealing money from her on Saturday? Ah, I will just pray for forgiveness that Sunday at church. All will be well!”
Pffft.
Rehab is for quitters!
Man I sure do love you. I hope someone gives you your very own talk show one day!!!
