No one controlled her. She did it to herself. Everyone around her inner circle just gave her everything she asked for or was dismissed and never heard from again. It is all very simple. No one said no to her. She was a demanding narcissistic, not very intelligent with a highly addictive personality girl. She was famous for her appearance without anything else of substance. She could not act, sing, recite, paint..... Like Paris, famous for being famous.

By common occurence ,I meant that it is common for the IP location to be not where a person is posting from.
Like mine for instance , I am from Delray Beach (by way of the Moon) and it lists me as being from Boca.

Hey You, Good Morning!
Rained all night and will through the next few days. It has been warm though. I will be in Chicago most of the week so I will get a first hand introduction to the bitter cold!
By the way. I guess that you and I are on different ends of the spectrum regarding the death of ANS? After viewing the Grammies last night and seeing the long list of talented musicians that passed away this year I realized. We ignore talented people who bring art, culture and joy to the world when they die but we are fixated on the human train wreck that was ANS. What's up with that? Don't get me wrong, I didn't want her to die or be harmed. I just can not understand how we ignore others yet focus on her.

Did you just crawled out from under a dead log? Our society has been idolizing druggies and alcoholics for decades - Elvis Presley, Jimi Hendrix, Miles Davis, Norma Jean,..., so most us are all lower than you? If you are so high up there you wouldn't be blogging with us.

Wow, you are going to Chi-town at the wrong time! Good Luck! My daughter lives in Watertown, NY, so be glad you're not headed in that direction.
I am fascinated by the ANS story because of all the twists already, and still to come. I agree with you about the loss of other talented folks getting less press. I still miss old Johnny Cash and his life was really interesting too. Hey, did you know that John Legend is from Springfield? Of course, there's a big to-do about him here. That puts The Simpson's in second place now. TeeHee!

Celebrity Myth #1:
Celebrities embody that which is most beautiful and noble about society.
Human beings yearn to live their lives free of the constraints and petty concerns which tend to dominate our mundane existence. Since it seems nearly impossible to live heroic lives based on truth, beauty and goodness we do the next best thing. We turn on the television or go to the movies. We have become willing consumers of the stuff which we wished our lives were really about or the types of tragedies we are grateful we have successfully avoided. Rarely, does a Hollywood blockbuster simply mirror the reality of everyday life. Even so-called "Reality Television" is totally detached from most people's everyday reality. When we watch a television program or go to the movies we are captivated by heroic protagonists who appeal to the innate goodness and idealism within every human being.
What we somehow fail to realize is that the actors portraying those heroic characters are highly paid actors motivated mostly by greed and a hunger for fame and spotlight. So we follow their every move only to later realize that not only are they completely human like everyone else but that they embody a selfishness and self-absorption which borders on the pathological. They bask in their own self-importance which is re-affirmed by the celebrity culture which has been trained to worship everything that glitters. Celebrities move around as though they are royalty displaying the highest and most noble virtues worthy of admiration and awe-inspired loyalty. In fact, they are just acting. When we examine the personal lives of actors and musicians, we usually discover the poorest and worst role models imaginable for our children.
For those celebrities who are celebrated for their beauty, usually it is only skin deep. The superficiality of their lives reveal their true character. They are often motivated purely by their own selfish need for attention, fame and fortune. When they offer a small percentage of their fortune to charity which is almost never a sacrifice for them, they are celebrated and honored for their wondrous humanitarianism.
