From Pro – athletics to actors to singers, we are able to see their rise and fall of stardom in the media. Magazines, the internet, and television shows allow people to hear and see the daily lives of our favorite stars. Having your life constantly watched does not allow for any mistakes to made because people will be watching and judging if you do anything the causes conflicted. Stardom depends on how many people are interested and want to pay attention. As humans our nature is to make mistakes, learn from the mistakes and grow into the person you are to become.

Parents have seen this and have made rash decisions on judging Cyrus ' life choices. The children who watched her on the television show Hannah Montana grew to love Cyrus and fell in love with her. However, when Cyrus started grow into the person she is now, parents blocked the television show and discontinued their children from listening to her music. Instead, if parents did not like the way Cyrus was behaving then they should explain to their children why what Cyrus is doing is horrible and discuss why Cyrus might act this way. Cyrus has had provocative photos taken of her, crude VMA performances and risque concert tours that have led to controversies on life style. Born Destiny Hope Cyrus, later changing her name to Miley Ray Cyrus, Cyrus has lead a busy life and she is only twenty – one.

Cyrus used to be a certain way for example Martin says "… she was a role model because her behaviors and her values really flowed in a positive way"(Martin). But as Cyrus aged into the young women she is today, she wanted to leave behind her Disney character and develop into who she wanted to be. She did not want to be what others wanted her to be but her unique self. She makes these crazy concerts because she is performer who wants to put on a good show. With the competition of Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Katy Perry, and other female singers, Cyrus needs to put on a great show to out do other singers. In conclusion Cyrus wants to break free from her Disney role on Hannah Montana and prove to the world that she is more than a Disney teen star.

Miley quickly transformed into the female that can't be tamed. Her blonde wig and the pure image Disney writers created for her, was probably left somewhere on the Hannah Montana set. She no longer sang songs similar to "True Friend" and "If We Were a Movie," from her Hannah days. Instead, Miley was
All fame begins when you do something noticeable. For example, actors and actresses build upon their careers and reputations by achieving excellence in their personal goals, as well as perfecting their public performance.
In a world where billionaires and celebrities can have more influence over the public than government, the word power has become interchangeable with success. Although many of us have fantasized of our lives if we were famous, the majority of the population have given up on the notion of becoming famous, and have become more realistic towards future dreams and desires. However, what qualities drive people of fame to do things that keep their name out in the eye of the public? People desire power. Genuine power is the ability to influence.
That’s why I think Carrie Underwood should come speak to our school. She’s inspiring to all ages and she made all her dreams come true. She’s one of the only stars that hasn’t let the fame got to
After observing and researching all the sources portraying celebrities I have came into a conclusion that todays society it seems like all we want is to be accepted and we tend to look at other people and judge. Its not right, we all are different and thats what makes the world go round. It would be a pretty boring world if we were all the same. Celebrities deal with this everyday, I think the paparazzi know more about some celebrities lives than they actually do. They judge them for who they are and what they do, it is not right nor fair.
Unfortunately, Twenty-first century pop music artist such as Headly have been able to profit heavily from the glamorization of engaging in risky sexually behaviors, and and untouchable “I can do anything” attitude as a way to achieve popularity and fame. Thus, the individual identities of these artist’s young fans, due to the frequency of exposure to such uncensored topics, have become much more open to engaging in risky behaviors such as experimentation with drugs, sex, and alcohol with little consideration of consequence.
Why is that all blogs or media sites only pay attention to the bad behavior? We see videos of famous people getting drunk, doing drugs, and even being disrespectful. Eventually, we see this domino effect on young girls, they start being rebellious, start to talk back to their parents even go to parties and drink. Nowadays, celebrities are seen as role models to these kids. What kind of example are these celebrities providing to teenagers when they can barely control their life. Role models are supposed to be someone you admire, someone you look up to and try and follow their examples. Not someone who lives a fake life and you barely know. As stated in an article called “Why this generation is so completely obsessed with the idea of Celebrity” Adam Pliskin explains the real reason to why we follow celebrities as much as we do. This is because we secretly want fame ourselves.
However, the many faults projected on Cyrus are seen as negative because of differences in behavior and mannerisms of Cyrus during her Hannah Montana days and now. Through her Instagram page posts and captions, Cyrus is using her Instagram to expresses how she is happy with who she is and that she is being who she wants to be not what the media wants her to be. In doing so she is also promoting self-acceptance and living a happy life. Miley Cyrus has gone against the critics and fans that pleading about they want the old Miley Cyrus back. What many fans are requesting is that Cyrus reverts to her old ways, to her time playing on the show Hannah Montana. During the show, Cyrus played a young pop star living a double life as a regular teen. However, Cyrus has tried her hardest to step away from her past life. I find that very understandable being that Cyrus expresses in many interviews that she disliked growing up on T.V. In an interview with Megan Friedman, a news editor for the online magazine Marie Claire, Cyrus stated that playing that role made her have unrealistic beliefs about what was perfect. In her show Cyrus at the time 11, is prepped head-to-toe with weave, dentures, and covered in make-up and she felt that this person is not someone children should look up to because of how much wasn’t truly her. Cyrus wants people to
Media is forcing today’s youth to grow up faster and faster. Miley Cyrus was unfortunately used as the poster child for young girls trying to be older. After the shoot, which was obviously not initiated by her, she had to come out and publically apologize. On top of that, Disney also threatened to void her contract if adult like behaviors continued (Toomey 1). With it being well known that only a few companies control most of the media we see, does it not appear ironic that Miley Cyrus was exemplified in such a negative light? From the time her publicist was con...
So many young people go into the entertainment business. Most of them do not know that without a support system to keep them grounded and stable their mental development can be compromised. The society that we place so high in our culture and deem worthy of such high praise, eat our children alive. They grow too fast, have to defend themselves constantly, and are watched around the clock. As a society, we must take a look at what we are doing to the people in the entertainment industry.
“Wealth, as a byproduct of fame, provides immediate, tangible evidence of celebrity’s distinction and staying power. Fame’s windfall goes a long way in lifting financial burdens, opening the celebrity to experiences that are special. Money is no longer a “worry,” and provides “the glory side, the financial side of being famous.” Some celebrities go from “not being able to afford a home,” to multi-million dollar contracts. They are our royalty.”, according to Donna Rothwell’s essay “Being a Celebrity; A Phenomenology of Fame”(Rothwell page 191).Basically, wealth dissolves the concern regarding financial status that the average citizen feels 24/7.Like most people, to acquiring such assets does provide a sense of a luxurious life. It is

According to Epstein, a celebrity is something or someone who can be talented and full of achievements and yet wish to broadcast ones fame further through the careful cultivation of celebrity, while one can be the total opposite of achievements and be less talented and yet still be made seem otherwise through the mechanics and dynamics of celebrity creation (Epstein2). Celebrity culture today is epidemic; some might agree that it is sweeping up America in a harmful way, while one might argue that it is beneficial to our society. Over the last few decades, celebrity and fame has changed dramatically, from Alexander the Great to Kim Kardashian. Talent and achievements no longer play a huge role when it comes to celebrities. “Much modern celebrity seems the result of careful promotion or great good looks or something besides talent and achievement” (Epstein2) with that being said celebrity-creation has blossomed into an industry of its own.... ...
...ildren, and most of their time must be enjoyed in creating their own private space. During our childhood, we build the seeds of creativity that will eventually determine our personality. And during adulthood, we always look back to the wonders of our youth. Show business is very hard for anyone, particularly for kids. Children do not belong in the entertainment industry. Young stars often complain about a stolen childhood, the pressure they have to face at a young age forcing them to mature fast, and the risks of exposure to dirty show business while still an innocent playful child. Celebrities who were exposed to the limelight at a tender age become scarred for life by early success and tend to compensate for the childhood they were deprived of during their later years in life.
According to the article “The Effects of Celebrity Role Models on Kids and Teens” by Eliza Martinez,“Many celebrities do not make a secret of alcohol or drug abuse and the glamorization of dying due to an overdose in the media might make your child feel that using these substances is acceptable.” The fans see the celebrities’ work and not the person themself. This is the main reason celebrities make such terrible role models. The fans will idolize them, but they don’t know what the celebrity is like on a personal level. They don’t know the opinion of the celebrity on certain issues. If they did and they agreed with the celebrity, then there is a whole other reason to look up to this person. If a fan disagreed, then they could still like their work and just agree to disagree, but it will never be like that. It is no one’s fault, but that is the main reason celebrities aren’t good role models. That is why parents, siblings, friends, other family, and even fictional characters work as role models. The people that look up to them know their role model personally and therefore know whether or not they agree with the role model’s
