Ok.... I feel a little guilty for slating Nicole Richie in her 'suppost' thread so I thought I would start one about the way celebs think they can behave.
Nicole isnt the only one who thinks she is immune; Pete Doherty, Kate Moss, George Michael, O J Simpson..... the list goes on. So why do they persistently get away with it? As far as I can see there money, fame and power seems to make a difference in wherther they get a fair trial |

Good thread Kiz.
The thing is many of their fans actually want them to get away with crimes. Personally, I don't understand it. |

As far as I can see..... a fan, and yes I have been there in the past, is blind to the fact that they may be bad.
For me, I was a massive George Michael fan, when he got caught with his trousers down in Central Park I though 'silly fool'. But I never defended what he did. It was wrong, simple as that. The fact that he still thinks he can drive while drunk, high or both is just plain stupid! But yet he gets away with it |

I like the new trend coming about of community service. A la Boy George & Naomi Campbell style. They think they can get away with more than the average Jo. I don't agree with making them clean the streets etc (Boy George) as this just creates a media circus and is majorly embarassing for them.

Im sure this is referring to me and Soph, I have repeated myself many times in the other thread, and Im only saying it once in this thread.
I do not think that Nicole, or any celebrities behaviour, is acceptable. And its no different to a normal person committing the crime. |

Yeah I know, but when Girth said his thing about fans, Im sure none of that would have been said without my thread about Nicole.
Its triggered it off. Anyway I REEEALLY don't want to argue lol. I think its a good thread idea. But personally no, I don't think celebs can do what they like. If anything this makes them more normal. |

They are normal, but are they treated as such when they get their day in court?

No it doesn't Kiz. He's a junkie waster and should be jailed. And so is his bitch.

You are right there about Pete. I think something should be done with him, because everytime he says hes back to normal he does something again.
Im sure someone would say 'oh the same happened with Nicole' but it didnt. She went years without doing it, and then around the time she had her eating disorder, she was back in the media for doing it. I can't remember a time Pete Doherty hasnt been doing drugs etc |

I think a lot of Celebs feel that they can do what they like and can get away with it. I think its totally unfair how in court celebs just get a slap on the wrist, where as if it was a working class person they could get more ten slap and end up getting a high fine or even inprisonment.

Hopefully Pete Doherty will get some bad gear and then we wont have to read any more about him.

Yeah I guess taking away Nicole's license is a pretty fitted thing to do.
As a fan I dont want her to go to prison, but that doesnt mean she shouldnt be punished, if found guilty. |

At the end of the day it's up tp the courts to decide in Nicoles case. But do you think Chris that celebs get away with too much?

Like Pete Doherty, he definately has got away with a lot. |
