I can honestly say that I’m getting sick of these double standards in the world of entertainment, especially regarding young celebrities. Now I’m not in the business of attacking someone just to prove a point regarding someone else. So this shouldn’t be seen as an attack (because it isn’t) but just to illustrate a double standard.
We all know by now that Miley Cyrus is the favorite “bad girl” of almost every celebrity gossip site or blog. Anyone who has ever seen this site knows that I have a soft spot for her, that however doesn’t change that I can be objective if I have to be. Especially seeing I don’t actually hate any celebrity, I might be less fond of others but when you don’t like someone, you don’t have to watch their movies, tv shows or listen to their music.
So Miley Cyrus has ten piercings and a tattoo, the horror. Last time I checked that isn’t illegal even though some gossip bloggers maintain that it is; it’s called parental consent. That apparently makes her a bad girl, that she keeps staying humble and that everyone who works with her seems to love her, doesn’t seem to matter. Yes there are a lot of paparazzi pictures of her but is she ever actually doing something bad in them? Not exactly, you can’t find her at a nightclub in the middle of the night. The one story TMZ posted that she was refused at a night club was already proven as being false by the night club owners. Would be a bit of a suicide for a business to be known for breaking a customer’s privacy (even though she wasn’t actually a customer).
The story is picked up by multiple gossip media and people are upset about how a girl that young keeps partying all the time. Thing is…… there is no proof that she does, it’s nothing but hearsay. With a good chance that the hearsay was completely fabricated, I can write anything on here if I just add “a source told me” but I won’t. If there is proof of anything it is of the polar opposite; that she doesn’t. Now to mention other people to illustrate the double standard. Selena Gomez was seen a couple of days ago leaving a night club, she was photographed by paparazzi. What she was doing there? I have no idea, don’t actually care either. There are plenty of clubs that have performances and things like that, so things that don’t actually involve the clubbing part. It’s not like she had to be carried out because she was drunk.
Selena however has been branded by the gossip media as a good girl, the opposite of Miley. Someone who can’t actually do anything wrong. Another fellow good girl of hers is in the same situation. Miranda Cosgrove is seen as very innocent and the anti-Miley. Fine with me, I don’t have anything against the girl. Yet again of her there are also pictures of her leaving night clubs, again most likely for performances but still. You don’t hear anything making a big drama about that. So for Miley to create drama it’s enough that there is some vague rumor that she was refused at a club, while Selena and Miranda can come out of a nightclub without it being a drama.
People will say that they weren’t there to party, which I actually do believe. However those same people have no clue what Miley would be doing at a club. Just because it’s Miley they are simply to believe everything. There could be even more extreme examples I could name but that would border on attacking someone else and I won’t be doing that. Then again….. I actually am attacking other people. I’m attacking those hypocritical assholes like Perez Hilton and Harvey Levin who dare call themselves journalists. They have their own agendas to only serve themselves.
These “people” (I use the term lightly here) feel they can get away with it, it doesn’t hurt them personally doesn’t it? That they are going after a teenage girl who can defend herself all she wants, some people still won’t believe it. Simply because she has been branded by these idiots as a bad girl. It’s a good thing that the industry doesn’t seem to see her that way, even though they would just love to see her fail. Where does this desire for failure come from anyway? Regarding any celebrity actually, just because they are famous they aren’t allowed to have success?
Yes I do talk about celebrities on here as well but at least I see them as human beings. With me there also isn’t a double standard, yes I favor certain celebrities above others. I however will never interpret a picture a different way, just to serve my own agenda. It’s just sad that it’s very normal to do just that these days. From my observations Miley is not a bad girl, as someone who has followed quite a few celebrities growing up over the years. There is nothing in her life that could make me believe that she will become the trainwreck everyone wants her to be. No I don’t see it in Miranda and Selena either, if I see it in anyone I won’t write about it here right now. If tattoos and piercings make someone a trainwreck; there are a lot of celebrities out there with those. I’d actually have a hard time thinking of anyone who doesn’t. They however aren’t Miley so it simply doesn’t matter.
This concludes my rant for now.
