Celebrities behaving badly

Celebrities would do anything just to get some publicity. They would probably even break the laws to try to get some attention from the reporters, and it has been seen very often on the TV. When Paris Hilton went to jail for breaking the law after that you heard her name everywhere like if it was right for what she did. There have been more celebrities like Lindsey Lohan and Britney Spears that have followed Paris Hilton steps. It's like if breaking the law is the only way they could get some attention and they do. At the end they look bad although they themselves don't realize it.

Yes, because they do it on purpose so they could pass it to other celebrities like young one that are barely starting as celebrities.

Carlos Gonzalez

Teacher: Jennifer Krieger

I do think that celebrities break laws for publicity. Mike Vick got caught dog fighting and now is on the news almost everyday giving speeches. The people that didn't know him before now know him. He will become a well-known football player.

Erik Trejo

I think celebrities do break laws just for publicity, because they're always on the news. They are always doing drugs and adopting kids, driving drunk. One of them also shaved her head and the worst thing is that it comes out on the news, they showed it in the news instead of the war in Iraq. I want to know what's going on in the war instead of some celebrities getting high in a party or crashing because they were drunk and driving. I think celebrities break laws for attention because their career is going down the drain.

I think celebrities do break laws for publicity. I think they break laws because they either want attention or that's just their way of asking for help.

Roxanne Gonzalez

Teacher: Esmeralda Valdez

Vernon Middle School

I do think celebrities break the law on purpose because they want to be noticed a lot more. A lot of people think it's bad but celebrities think it is funny and cool simply because they're noticed more. It's bad because they're getting noticed for the wrong reasons.

Gabby Meza

I do think celebrities break laws for publicity because they do dumb things to get attention and get paid. Britney Spears doesn't take care of her own two children and she even went bald. Lindsey Lohan is always crashing into other people's cars and goes to rehab because she does drugs. Vanessa Hudgens is a really sweet girl but then some nasty photos came out even though she wanted to send them to her boyfriend Zac Efron but somehow it got sent to fans. Paris Hilton drinks and drives. She has gone to jail for about a month and has gone to rehab.

April Amedor

Teacher: Leslie de la Garza

W.B. Green Junior High School

I think celebrities break laws for publicity. They're always talking about Btitney Spears on the news, magazines, and the radio. When she went bald, driving with her baby on her lap or why she was driving without a license. I think they want the attention. Michael Vick did do it even though he said he didn't. So many kids looked up to him and now look. Lindsey Lohan is just bad. I use to look up to her but after all the stuff that she's done I'm not a big fan.

Kelsey Renae Hernandez

Teacher: Leslie de la Garza

W.B. Green Junior High School

I think celebrities do break the law, so they can just be all over the news. I think they feel like they need to be in the spot light 24/7. The younger celebrities see that the older celebrities break the laws so they think it's cool to break the laws.

Tony

Teacher: Terrie Gracia

W.B. Green Junior High School

I think that most celebrities break the law so that they can get more publicity. The bad part about this is that it is a bad influence on kids like me. Another thing is that celebrities don't care about what happens to us. They just want publicity. That's why they use drugs and alcohol. Because of this, there are a lot of kids that do drugs and alcohol.

Xavid Ramirez

Teacher: Suzanne Coronado

Vernon Middle School

It's like a retarded contest to see who can survive as a jailbird the longest. It isn't like they even spend more than a few minutes in jail, anyway. Celebrities are beginning to act like spoiled children. If they aren't the center of attention, they start doing the most ridiculous things. And then all of their fans go and defend them, throwing a stupid pity party and saying things like, "Oh, she's so lonely, poor thing! Poor?! Conceited is more like it. I even think the police are way too soft on them. If a regular person did such crimes, we'd be locked away for a few weeks. Celebrities only "endure" a "horrifying," "terrible" and "life-changing" two hours. Big Whoop! I could do that!

Veronica Marquez

Teacher: Sherry Quellhorst

Memorial Middle School

Personally I think the paparazzi makes it look like celebrities break laws for publicity, the timing of the paparazzi is always perfect. They are always there at the right time and most of them don't care what rumors they put out there, all they want is a story for the world to read and make celebrities look bad.

Angel Berrones

Teacher: Jean Bovee

Weslaco High School

Yes, I believe celebrities break laws just for publicity because they just want to be popular. Paris Hilton did whatever she had to do because she wanted to be in the paper and magazines. They also want to get shown with their name and picture in the paper. Britney Spears shouldn't be going out and showing her goods or what she has.

Alexis De La Rosa

Teacher: Stacey Hill

Memorial Middle School

Some celebrities don't purposely break the law. They are just people like us, making mistakes and learning from the. Unfortunately, some of them do break the law for publicity. Their reason is because they are starting to get away from the public eye or becoming yesterday's news. They just want attention. Some of them do it because they won't get in as much trouble.

Alexandria Miller

Teacher: Suzanne Coronado

Vernon Middle School

I do think that celebrities break laws for publicity because some people just want the attention. The celebrity might think that getting more things on the newspaper about themselves keeps them happy and proud about all of the stuff that is written about them. But then again, some celebrities like things kept a secret and would like to keep some of their stuff private.

Abby Torrez

Teacher: Esmeralda Valdez

Vernon Middle School

I think celebrities break laws for publicity because they either want or think they need the attention. They're celebrities so what do you expect? They think everyone loves them and to keep their fans they'll do anything to get in the news.

Ivana Garza

Teacher: Michelle Wood

Berta Cabaza Middle School

I don't believe that celebrities use drugs or things like that to get attention. They already have a lot of attention focused on them without drugs. They are just always being watched and can not escape the pictures and stories. Everyone does bad things but it's hard not to get caught when you're always being watched. Celebrities don't have much privacy and get caught doing stuff more than non-celebrities.

Josie Garza

Teacher: Jean Bovee

Weslaco High School

In a way I think celebrities break laws just so they can get talked about. But in some ways I think they do it because they are rich and don't really care what they do. If they do things they can just get away with it. Like Paris Hilton. She does things just to get money. She does not care what she does.

Alex Martinez

Teacher: Jennifer Krieger

Mary Hoge Middle School

Yes, because if the public eye takes an interest in them, it will boost their popularity and they will get more offers and better pay.

Kimberly Olguin

Teacher: Michelle Hubbard

Harlingen North High School

I think that when a celebrity breaks laws it is because they may not be getting as much attention as other stars may be. Usually they get jealous, or just tired of being ignored and do something that they think is really cute, but in the end it's something really dumb. What they do is never really worth it when the whole world sees them on the news, at home, laughing their heads off, for doing drugs or driving drunk and ending up in jail. Celebrities should be glad that they're celebrities in the first place and not want to get more attention then they already get. They are actually role models for a lot of people until they do these things. Most fans will not like the things that they are doing and decide not to like that certain celebrity anymore, and that's just too bad for that dumb celebrity that is sitting in jail regretting that they ever made that really dumb choice just to get two seconds of publicity.

Francisca Aparo

Teacher: Cristella Chavez

Vernon Middle School

Yes, because if you notice celebrities that are going out of work end up doing something illegal. You see them on Ch. 5 and CNN. They show up everywhere. They seem to be lucky, because if celebrities go to jail, they don't serve all there time. Nicole Richie only needed to serve four hours. Unlike us whether we scream, cry, pull out our hair or be claustrophobic, we serve at least ten years. Celebrities are usually up to something if their career is going down the drain.

Juanita Najar

Teacher: Terrie Gracia

W.B. Green Junior High School

I think celebrities do break laws on purpose just so they can be in the public eye. They do all these crazy things so they can have the spotlight on them. Some of them don't realize that these bad things are interfering with their social life. Celebrities are getting publicity, but they don't know what their friends and family are thinking about them. Some celebrities think it is funny when cops stop them. They just don't know that they are setting bad examples to their fans, family, and younger siblings. Celebrities don't have any respect for themselves and the people surrounding them. They think it is cool to be caught with illegal things and being arrested. Celebrities should be doing good actions instead of all these bad actions. They should be getting good publicity instead of all this bad publicity.

Alejandra Estrada

Teacher: Cristella Chavez

Vernon Middle School

No, I think that celebrities are just regular people who make mistakes. Think about it. Nobody goes out and says, "Hey, let's go and get drunk and drive." Some things just happen and one thing leads to another. I think celebrities get publicized worse when they do these mistakes.

Chris Bustillos

Teacher: Sherry Quellhorst

Memorial Middle School

Of course I think stars break the law. They do it to show off and so that more people could know them. For example, look at Britney Spears. She breaks laws and look how famous she is.

Lucie T.

Vernon Middle School

Celebrities just break the laws to attract people so that they could be famous and gain more money. They break the laws by coming on stage to encourage the people to do bad things. They sometimes think that they’re the boss and they break some stage rules, like they stay too long when they’re suppose to only stay a little bit.

Fernando O.

Vernon Middle School

Is it because they want attention from the press or because they’re stupid? I think they get in trouble because, well a little bit of both. Lindsay Lohan gets in to trouble because she is stupid. Britney Spears likes to make a fool of her self. Obviously I think she does what she does because she wants attention and that is what she needs to do. Vanessa Ann Hudgens sent those pictures to people because she needed attention and she got a lot of it.

Megan R.

Vernon Middle School

I think that some celebrities break the law to get attention. There have been many celebrities who have been breaking the law and ending up on the news lately. They are on every channel you can find. I think that is why they want to break the law, so they can see themselves on T.V. I don’t pay much attention to them; I just see it on the news. The celebrities don’t look sad or bothered about breaking the law. They just smile for the cameras. I don’t think the news stations should show them so much. Maybe they would stop breaking the law if no one paid attention to them.

Joseph D.

Vernon Middle School

I think that the celebrities break the laws because they want attention but after a while they will get tired of getting attention. They do crazy things so they can get everybody’s attention.

Danielle L.

Mary Hoge Middle School

Yes I do think celebrities break laws just for publicity. They get noticed but I think it helps them so they can get more popular. Some celebrities don’t do it for publicity and it doesn’t help them at all. So some do it for publicity and some do it so it can hurt them.

Marcus M.

Mary Hoge Middle School

No because look at Britney Spears and where is she now. She went to rehab and shaved her head. But then they do it for publicity because people will feel sorry for them and buy CDs and songs on the internet or in the store. But, oh well, that’s their life. They are the only ones that know what they are doing and why they are doing it.

Anel M.

Mary Hoge Middle School

Yes I think they do because they just want us to get to know them better. Most of the time, they know what they are doing. They just want the attention because all celebrities get forgotten once people lose interest, so they do something to regain the news.

Jake V.

Mary Hoge Middle School

It depends on the celebrity that you are talking about. Some celebrities seem like they’re breaking the law just to get attention, but some just break the law because they are just lawbreakers who can’t stop breaking rules. Some celebrities do break the law to get recognized because they might not be famous enough or popular enough and they want to be known by the public. For ex, some unknown band might do this so people will look at them. It is not a very smart thing to do, but people are unpredictable sometimes. Of course, some stars like being famous, and the thought of being more famous or well known comes into thought. So they commit some kind of stupid act that they will regret and then they get the unwanted attention that they regret. Also, celebrities can’t help the fact that paparazzi are everywhere.

Michael H.

Weslaco High School

Celebrities now are doing many things that even their mother's wouldn't want to claim them for. I think they do break laws because they are no longer in the spot light and want some more attention. They just do it to get all the attention and for people to feel sorry for them that they have nothing else to do. Celebrities need to realize that they are NOT above the law and need to abide by the rules as other regular people do. Having the fame that they do means that all eyes are on them and they should rather want good publicity and not bad to heighten up their image.

Maritza G.

Weslaco High School

Celebrities are like that biggest, shiniest diamond ring in a jewelry box. They are the center of the universe, everything revolves around them. Celebrities are the center of attention at all times no matter the situation, good or bad. From red carpet events to even breaking laws, they have the publics wide open eyes. Is that there ultimate goal? I believe celebrities break laws just to receive the whole world's notice. In order to be the lime light and boost up their fame, they go out of there way to do the most unheard of, crazy things to obtain the publics undivided attention.

Anabel M.

Weslaco High School

Celebrities are always on the news for different reasons, more often for doing bad things. I do believe that celebrities break the law just for publicity. They enjoy having the attention of the paparazzi and of the public itself. I think they do this in order to add "insight" to what they consider a boring life. Once they notice that they have little or no attention as they used to, they end up in jail and are not embarrassed about it. It's as if they do it so that producers wont forget about them, and give them a job, which I think is hilarious.

Elizabeth V.

Weslaco High School

Yes, I think that they do break laws for publicity. I think that they do because they know that they can get away with it. Like Paris Hilton she was only in jail for 20 days when she was supposed to stay there for 45. This is why I think that celebrities might break non major laws for publicity

Marcus C.

Mary Hoge Middle School

Oh yes I do think that they break the laws just for publicity. Yea, sometimes it might be an accident, but most of the time I think that it’s not. I don't think that they should allow them to do that and get away with it because we can't.

Stephanie S.

Mary Hoge Middle School

Some do and some don't. Some want to get attention because they feel that nobody pays attention to them and they do dumb things to get attention. And others get in problems or do things, but not to get attention just because they did it by accident or they made them do it.

Narce T.

Mary Hoge Middle School

Yes I do think that celebrities do want publicity. Ever since Britney Spears has broken the laws every single day by going to clubs and drinking while driving, there have been more and more celebrities breaking laws. It’s just to make them famous.

Alexis A.

Mary Hoge Middle School

Yes I do think celebrities break laws because they are use to the attention a lot. When they don't get attention they find a way to be in the spot light by doing drugs, drinking and driving, and much more.

Evonne A.

Mary Hoge Middle School

Yes and no because most of the stars get there fame by acting and singing. But now the teenage stars such as Britney, Lindsey, and Paris do things to get publicity. Britney does that because she’s always in the magazines. After all not all stars do it to be recognized because they want to work hard.

Stephanie P.

Mary Hoge Middle School

Yes, I do, because they want the attention. Like Lindsey Lohan, she went to jail, and then she went back to partying. Then she went back to jail. She just wants to get all the attention she can get.

Karina A.

Mary Hoge Middle School

Yes because Britney Spears is getting drunk and not taking care of her two children.

She almost dropped her first baby and now her children are with their father. Talk about an ungrateful mother.

Andrea M.

Mary Hoge Middle School

Yes in a lot of ways because most celebrities do things for attention. Like Brat Pitt breaking up with Jennifer Aniston and then hooking up with Angelina Jole.

Oscar C.

Mary Hoge Middle School

No! Absolutely not! You have to remember one thing, celebrities are just like us. They are normal people that have kids and families. They make some mistakes but, don't we all? We’re not perfect and neither are they. They don't mean to make so many mistakes on purpose. They also have lives like us.

Brianna G.

Mary Hoge Middle School

They do that because some people want to get their name on the table. Other people don't do it, just because they don’t want to. These people do this because they are really drunk and don't now what they are doing.

Julio Cesar T.

Mary Hoge Middle School

No, my opinion is they think they’re rich and powerful and they’re over all of us. For example Michael Vick thinks he can get away with the law. Well he was wrong and he will do his time.

Justin F.

Mary Hoge Middle School

I do think they do it on purpose because they just want to come out on the news or newspaper.

Melissa A.

Mary Hoge Middle School

Yes because they get more money for coming out in the news, and sometimes they get jobs for that.

Miguel Ce.

Mary Hoge Middle School

I think celebrities don’t break laws for publicity. They break laws because they think since they are famous and they can get away with any thing. Because of their celebrity status, the fame gets to their head and that’s what makes them dumb. Paris Hilton is super famous and doesn’t need to go to jail to become more famous. It was her own fault that she went to jail. Celebrities make their own choices and that’s why they go to jail.

Aaron C.

Mary Hoge Middle School

I think that celebrities break the law not for the publicity, but because they think that they can do whatever they want just because they are famous. Unfortunately they can't. Another factor might be money. People who have the money can get away with anything, and celebrities have loads of it.

Alex D. M.

Weslaco High School

I do think that celebrities do a lot of stupid things to get publicity but I don't think that it’s all for the news and things. Celebrities do a lot of things but it’s usually the paparazzi that make the big deal out of all the things that they do. It's ridiculous and I don't think it is right that it’s always blamed on the celebrity.

Krystina N.

Weslaco High School

I can not say yes or no. I would have to say sometimes, because sometimes they want to live there normal lives like normal people. Celebrities don't mean to break laws they just mainly get DWI which means they just want to live there lives while they can. So please leave them alone!!! I don't think you'd like it.

Valerie G.

Mary Hoge Middle School

Being a celebrity is the new thing among teenagers. Everything that they do not only intrigues them, but it makes them want to follow in their footsteps. Even if it means getting some attention like the one that those famous celebrities are getting for showing off their partying ways, and getting in trouble with the law. To me it is considered a publicity stunt. A way to let people know they are famous and can get away with whatever they want.

Michelle A.

Weslaco High School

When any person appears on television or a film repeatedly, they are considered celebrities. Some remain humble and responsible, while others become egotistical and inappropriate. This often happens to young music and movie stars. I believe that these people, these so-called celebrities, defy society’s laws to gain publicity. They even have in their minds that they can be more lightly punished than regular people, just because they have been on TV. Having fame does signify immunity. If any celebrity, especially the well-known, decides to test the law enforcement, they will face the same consequences as the rest of the people.

Juan M.

Weslaco High School

Yes, I think that just about every celebrity breaks laws for publicity. They enjoy seeing their names out there in the world and probably think that it will help them get even MORE money, like they need more of it. Everything that celebs do is for the publicity, there may be a couple of celebrities that can prove me otherwise, but for right now, I'm sticking to my theory.

David L.

Weslaco High School

In some cases I think that they may do it just for the publicity, but just like the rest of us, they too make mistakes. Just in their case, they are being watched and interviewed by more people than what we are used to. When we get into trouble we usually get lectured by our family and friends. As to them, they get lectured by unknown people, and yet those who really care. Difference is that the people who don’t know them add on to the story, and make the problem bigger and faster known to the public.

Norma R.

Weslaco High School

Not all celebrities want that much attention. Yeah there are some that do, but they do it because they have the money to pay to get out of the trouble that they have caused. They think that because they are rich they can afford to do anything they please and because a paparazzi and then they are what every one is talking about.

Brenda L.

Weslaco High School

Many celebrities feel that they are the most important people in the world; the celebrities are treated so much different than regular people. I do feel that celebrities do break the law for publicity especially when their career is going down the drain; their way of thinking is that they are above the law, so whatever they do will not really hurt them. For example Paris Hilton, she broke the law and did go to jail, but because of her celebrity status she had special treatment, although many don’t want to admit it. After her situation occurred many televisions shows wanted to interview her making her more famous than before. Many celebrities have broken the laws for publicity just because they can; the reality is that it will never change because many celebrities feel that they are above the law.

Stephanie A.

Weslaco High School

We've all heard a lot of celebrities in the news that are breaking laws. Some of these celebrities include Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, and Linsday Lohan. They go all over the news and become the spot light for quite a few weeks, depending on what they did. But celebrities don't really do this for publicity. They are already famous and just trying to live a normal life with paparazzi following them 24/7. And I mean who can live a normal life like this. Breaking the law is obviously wrong, but sometimes celebrities need to have an adventure life (maybe not so much as to breaking the law) and not just try to be role models.

Rosario B. S.

Weslaco High School

Personally I don't believe that celebrities break laws for publicity, yet break them since they have that authority and the power to find a way out of them so easily. Simultaneously, gain the publicity for having getting away with such a thing that others get caught and punished for. Since they are celebrities they are given what we call the "special treatment" people hope to one day become like them but in my opinion I’m perfectly fine with my life and privilege.

Sandra S.

Weslaco High School

Not all the celebrities are immature of course, but there are several in Hollywood who do need a criterion to settle an ego. The celebrities who occasionally get a traffic ticket do not fall into this stereotype. On the other hand, people like Lindsey Lohan and Britney Spears defiantly exaggerate on the need for publicity. They party hard in public and in return get noticed for their conspicuous use of drugs and alcohol. Why not? They are rich, young celebrities, on top of the world.

Natalie C.

Weslaco High School

Yes, I do think celebrities break laws for publicity. First they start off normal. Then they start breaking laws, like Lindsey Lohan who was found with cocaine. She would not do that before. Then Britney Spears keeps going back to rehab for drinking. It’s not right for celebrities to be doing these things because some of these celebrities are idols for other kids. Also many times on TV shows, magazines, and newspapers they come out. There are many stories and pictures of celebrities breaking laws. They always think they can get away with it just because they are celebrities. They need to learn that they don’t have to do this for publicity.

Ashley G.

Vernon Middle School

I think it depends on what kind of person the celebrity is. If they are someone who has to have the spotlight on them 24/7, then maybe they do break the laws just for publicity, but someone who is shy, sensitive, and down to earth, was probably just having a bad day at that time if they broke a law. Notice how I said “down to earth”. They could be shy and sensitive, but that’s just the thing. Maybe they want a taste of the wild side! Maybe they want to be noticed for a change. So there, it’s so simple. Break a law, go to court, and get noticed by everyone! Who really knows what goes on inside someone else’s mind? But in my opinion, only conceited celebrities would want to break laws just for publicity.

Eleni H.

Vernon Middle School

I think that celebrities break the law just to get people to notice them. I know if I was a celebrity and no one was paying attention, I would try to grab there attention, but I would not break the law. I don’t’ think I would go to that point just to get someone’s attention. Britney Spears often tries to get people’s attention by doing dramatic things, but I think the incident that happened with her baby riding in her lap while she was driving is not one of those things she did to get more attention. A lot of times babies cry and just want to be held. Of course, I don’t think she should have done it while she was driving. Celebrities do want attention and will do anything to get it. But on other occasions, it could be a misunderstanding.

Nicole H.

Memorial Middle School

Some celebrities break the law in order to get publicity, and they have an advantage because they do not get charged. For example, when they drive intoxicated, all they do is go into a rehab center, while the rest of the world gets fined and charged. They do that so the rest of us Americans know them and know who they look like, but what they don’t know is when they break the law, they are sending a message that they are bad and aren’t responsible.

Rebecca B.

Memorial Middle School

I think most of the famous people break the law to get publicity because one of their songs or movies didn’t do too good. They do it so that when they go to jail, the news will be talking about them. But I personally think that is stupid. What if they died? Then, they would be remembered like that.

Richard M.

Memorial Middle School

I think in certain cases celebrities do break the law to get attention/publicity. Celebrities can only get so famous that they start fading away and become normal people like the rest of us. I think they are afraid of that happening, so they break the law and get their face printed on every magazine they can. In other cases, they are still human and they do mistakes as well as everyone else. I guess you could say I’m in the middle of agreeing and disagreeing. Everybody makes mistakes, but they shouldn’t make them on purpose.

Selen G.

Memorial Middle School

I think celebrities break laws just to get publicity because they want to be more famous than they are now. In this world, if celebrities break laws or do something outrageous, they get to be on tabloids and the E-news, which are the gossip columns. Lindsey Lohan started out as a very innocent girl until she knew more about the publicity. I guess she likes the attention and therefore breaks the laws. But non-celebrities don’t get on tabloids or in the E-news. They just probably get on local news.

Trixie I.

Memorial Middle School

Yes, I do think that celebrities break the law to get publicity. They do it because they want more attention. But it’s only showing the public how stupid they are and that celebrities are a bad example. Like Britney Spears. She was on drugs and she shaved her hair off for money. That shows us that she is stupid, uses drugs, has mental problems, and that she shouldn’t be a celebrity. Now, pretty much everyone doesn’t like her.

Dory A.

Memorial Middle School

I believe that they are human. They do certain things like breaking the law to create some sort of publicity. People in the spotlight try to do ridiculous things in order to keep the exposure. Breaking the law is one of those things that will stick. But many celebrities break the law not for the publicity, but for the fact that they are celebrities. They don’t need publicity so they decide that they can do anything they want.

Chris S.

Memorial Middle School

I don’t think celebrities break the law to get publicity. I think publicity finds them breaking the law. Meaning that normal people get DUI’s and shave their heads, and you don’t see them on the cover of People magazine. Celebrities are normal - they make stupid mistakes just like everyone else. They don’t do it for publicity. They do it because they are not perfect. No one is, and no one will ever be perfect. If there were no such thing as publicity, then there wouldn’t be this topic.

Jennifer F.

Memorial Middle School

I don’t think they do because I’ve heard that teenaged celebrities like to party, so they go to clubs. I’ve also heard that most clubs let under-aged teen celebrities go into their clubs and drink as much as they want. So, all the drinking leads up to them going outside, getting into their really nice and expensive cars, and driving away without any friends or body guards. And that leads up to car crashes or just road chases. Just look at Paris Hilton! She was in jail because she was speeding. I don’t know if she was drunk, but she sure did seem like it. So, it just goes to show that you can’t trust clubs… and celebrities.

Amanda L.

Memorial Middle School

I do think famous people break the law to get publicity. I think they do this to get their picture on a magazine or something. Because you always hear about some celebrities getting caught doing something illegal on the radio. So maybe they get paid or something, I don’t know. So maybe they do break the law for attention. Who knows? No one but themselves.

Jacob S.

Memorial Middle School

No, I don’t think they do that stuff just to get noticed. It would be like me breaking a school window just so that I could get noticed. I don’t think all the celebrities are that stupid. On the other hand, it could be a possibility. We do not live in their minds. Sometimes we never hear the other side of what is happening. I think they just don’t break the laws for no apparent reason.

Mireya T.

Memorial Middle School

I think that some celebs - the teenage type - do that because they want to get a lot of publicity. I just think it’s stupid because if one is going to get in trouble or do something that I would regret, I would keep it a secret because it would be very embarrassing when the public starts to make fun of that celeb. I would make another song or movie that is better than the first time.

Chastine P.

Memorial Middle School

I believe that celebrities do break the law to get publicity because they’re so used to the limelight that when it’s on someone else, they would do anything to get it back. I think that’s what some of these celebrities do today. They probably realized that new people or celebrities were taking the glory that once was theirs and that’s why they do drugs, speed, “try” to commit suicide, and everything else they could possibly think of doing.

Cheyenne L.

Memorial Middle School

Celebrities think they can never have too much attention. Take Paris Hilton for example. She was supposed to be in jail, but they only put her in for a few days. Then they put her under house arrest. I mean, what is that about? Celebrities are always doing stuff to get attention, and they know they’re always getting special treatment because they’re rich. If celebs aren’t getting attention for the TV shows or movies, they’re doing drugs, crashing into trees, or whatever others things they think will get them noticed.

Felicia H.

Memorial Middle School

I don’t think celebrities break the law for publicity. I think they do it because they can. None of the authorities do anything to stop them. Like Lindsey Lohan got caught with cocaine, and they didn’t do anything about it because she could bail herself out with her allowance. The most time they get in jail is like a day because that’s all they can do. Nobody bothers rich people because the rich people can get anything they want and they do. They can get a free meal just for signing an autograph.

Pablo G.

Memorial Middle School

I don’t think celebrities break laws for publicity because the paparazzi follow them everywhere. Just like when Paris Hilton got arrested. She didn’t want people all over America seeing her. Maybe some celebrities do break the law for publicity, but I think most people that are famous don’t do it for attention.

Joe G. T.

Memorial Middle School

I think they don’t break the law for publicity because they are normal people. They are not perfect. They make mistakes just like us. Maybe they get drunk or something, but if you were a famous person, wouldn’t you like to get a break from the reality and go to rehab or something? You think they would do it just to go to rehab or jail? They’re famous enough that they don’t need to be more famous than they are already.

Daniel Y.

Memorial Middle School

I think celebrities do break the law to get publicity because they think more people are going to notice them, and that’s what they want. I don’t think it’s right because they are giving themselves a bad name, and depending on what they did, the world will find out and know, and some people don’t like celebrities like that. So I think in a way that they are taking publicity from themselves, and usually the celebrities that do break the law don’t care about anyone but himself or herself.

John L.

Memorial Middle School

I think some celebrities break the law to get attention. Britney Spears is breaking the law. I know she wants the attention in the news, and it will be everywhere. Lindsey Lohan is doing the same thing. I think they want people to feel sorry for them, but a lot of people don’t like them because of what they are doing. Paris Hilton goes to jail for only a little bit, and she got out and there goes the paparazzi.

K’Deshia E.

Memorial Middle School

I don’t know why celebrities break the law. Maybe it’s for the publicity. Maybe they like the fact that everyone talks about them. They would do anything to be in the spotlight. What I don’t appreciate is that they get away with a lot of stuff. They would only go to jail for a day as opposed to us going for a few years. I don’t think that’s fair.

Nathanael M.

Memorial Middle School

I really think that celebrities don’t do it on purpose. They’re probably frustrated of everyone criticizing them. They want to be normal. They want to do normal things without being criticized all the time.

David F.

Memorial Middle School

I think some celebrities break the law for publicity because they know that they can get away with it. Others may not do it intentionally but are just at the wrong place at the wrong time. There are also the ones that just break it for the fun of it and can get away with it, but they don’t really care too much about the publicity.

John C.

Memorial Middle School

Yes, I think celebrities break the law for publicity. Famous people gain their fame from attention. It is their jobs to get attention, whatever it takes. Publicity for celebrities is what raises their career. The more people know of them, the more agents and directors recognize them. If an actor can get into a huge movie by breaking the laws, of course, they would do it. It is easy for celebrities with connections to pass through the laws. They can even smuggle and nobody would know.

Nancy K.

Memorial Middle School

Well, I do think that some celebrities break the law to get publicity. I think that they just want it for attention or maybe to be noticed. They might do something illegal but they still get popular from it. All they want is to get more publicity, but in doing so, they also hurt themselves. The rest that are not in it for the fame are the celebrities that were brought up badly, and I think that most of this comes from the parents. They could have raised them differently.

Danielle G.

Memorial Middle School

I think celebrities break the law because they want to get attention by all the people in the world. Maybe they’re tired with their own lame lives and have nothing better to do, so they go out drunk driving or something. Take a look at Britney Spears. She’s having family problems, and she shaved her head bald. She smashed someone’s car, and she had to go to rehab. Celebrities these days need to slow it down. Breaking the law doesn’t make them famous; it just makes them look stupid.

Desarae G.

Memorial Middle School

I really do think that celebrities break the law just to get publicity. I have this little cousin who watches a lot of Lindsey Lohan’s movies, but I wonder how she feels when she sees and or hears about Lindsey Lohan on any news channel. People who follow any bad examples the ones celebrities put out really should consider what they are doing. Anybody who doesn’t follow these bad examples is a good leader.

Valerie C.

Memorial Middle School

I think celebrities do sometimes break the law for publicity. Maybe they think that people or fans have forgotten about them and need some way to make them known again. Or others may not break the law just to be recognized. I think a lot of celebrities do stupid things and get themselves into bad situations because they have nothing else to do with their lives. For example, some have attempted to commit suicide because they have too much money they don’t know what to do with, even though they chose to do this and think that they’ll get somewhere in life. It’s really just hurting them and losing fans’ interest in them.

Marisa R.

Memorial Middle School

I do think some celebrities break the law to get publicity. Britney Spears and Nicole Richie do not get as much as attention as Angelina Jolie or Tom Cruise so they do stupid things to get more attention. Many celebrities go to rehab centers because they get drunk or hit cars and run or they run from the police. In their rehab centers, they have fun by reading books and painting their nails so they are not healing themselves. Celebrities that do stupid things need to heal themselves. I think celebrities do stupid things to get more publicity.

William M.

Memorial Middle School

I think they don’t break the law to get publicity because normal people don’t do that and that is what famous people are, they are just a regular person. They just have cameras following them all the time. But it’s not their fault that they want to break the law once in a while. Everyone is not perfect at all, but usually when non-famous people (us) are breaking the law, it is not as worldwide as the famous people. Or they might just want some alone time so they break the law to get people to leave them alone. Everyone needs a little alone time.

Kimberlee Z.

Memorial Middle School

I think they do break the law to get publicity because a lot of famous people have been breaking the law. Like when their publicity is going down, they don’t want that to happen, so they do something dumb. They break the law and then it’s even worse, but they get a lot of publicity. I really think they should not be like that because they are hurting themselves but at the same time getting publicity. When Paris Hilton went to jail, that gave a lot of publicity.

Nataly D. L. F.

Memorial Middle School

Looking at celebrities’ negative publicity from a viewer’s standpoint, it’s easy to see what’s going on. It seems as if when a celebrity hasn’t been on the news in a while, they will find a way to get some airtime. They feel that they have to do something so outrageous, like breaking the law, to shock television audiences, therefore gaining more publicity. I feel that this is a horrible way to create attention for oneself.

Hubbard U.

Memorial Middle School

I do think celebrities break the law to get publicity. One example of this is Paris Hilton. She knows she is not capable of doing jail time, so why should she have said that she would accept the consequences and do jail time? Although it was a pretty good move on her part because she got everyone talking, yet people now may not like her as much as they did. I don’t believe it’s acceptable to break the law, get a DUI, and have barely any jail time. They should be treated the same as we are.

Shane M.

Memorial Middle School

I think maybe celebrities are just looking for fame every time they leave their house. There are other incidents like Michael Vick. He wasn’t being so smart there. I don’t think he was looking for publicity when he did that. I think he might have just wanted to have fun. I still think that was a bad thing to do. I mean who would want to risk their NFL career? I think Lindsey Lohan was looking for publicity because that was a stupid thing to do. She was probably thinking that she should do it because all the other teenagers are doing it: ‘It will probably make me more popular.’ Yeah, like she needs that.

Iwren S. F.

Memorial Middle School

Yes, I think some celebrities do break the law to get publicity. Maybe their career went down the tube and they need to make a big deal to get famous again. But take Lindsey Lohan. I think she is just at the wrong place at the wrong time. I think one celebrity that breaks the law to get publicity is Paris Hilton. Everyone knows her and she loves it. So the more bad things she does, the more it will be talked about. But other celebrities just have the worst luck in the world, and they get bad publicity.

Sarah R.

Memorial Middle School

Yes, I do think celebrities break the law for publicity. Famous people are willing to do anything for a little attention. I mean for example, Britney Spears shaved her head. For what? Publicity. She is all over TV and the radio. But you know that it isn’t good attention: nobody likes her. She is a drunk, a druggy, and definitely a bad parent. I think everyone is happy that her hubby Kevin got custody of the two boys. So yes, celebs do bad stuff for attention, whether it is crashing a car, getting drunk at a club, or even going to rehab.

Justin P.

Memorial Middle School

I don’t think that celebrities break the law just to get publicity. Celebrities are not that different from regular people. Regular people don’t want to break the law and neither do celebrities. Celebrities are exactly like regular people because everyone needs to let loose and just relax once in a while. If a celebrity lets loose too much and does something they might regret, then that is their problem. I understand that celebrities are like under a magnifying glass, so that just means they have to be careful about what they do or whom they hang out with. Regular people don’t have to worry about that.

Samantha G.

Memorial Middle School

Yes I think celebrities break laws just to get publicity for instance, Britney Spears she was completely unheard of for awhile. Then she was caught with her kid in her lap. Earlier she shaved her head; at the Grammy she gave a horrible performance and later tried to apologize for her performance. Then she started to hang around with Criss Angel so in all I think she does some things for publicity, other just because she wants to.

Cody Q.

W.B. Green Junior High School

Yes I think celebrities break the law for publicity when they break the law they appear all over the news. That’s how they gain popularity. Then everyone would want to watch the shows that they come out on.

K. B

W.B. Green Junior High School

I think some celebrities do it for the publicity especially Paris Hilton because she was sent to jail for drunk driving and complained about it. She was released after twenty-eight days. Nicole Richie didn’t last four days. She was complaining that she was pregnant and didn’t belong there.

Nic B.

W.B. Green Junior High School

Well I think yes and no, yes because some really old “celebrities” that probably only your grandparents know say racial slurs or sexist remarks so they can be back in the limelight, or other celebrities break laws because they just feel like it and they know that they won’t be in jail for long anyway. I also think no because deep down celebrities are just like everybody else and every body makes mistakes, I think they just have so much pressure to be “perfect”, that they can’t help it if they aren’t.

Stephanie R.

W.B. Green Junior High School

Yes, I do think celebrities get in trouble with the law for publicity. They do crazy things to be popular or to gain popularity Celebrities get drugged or drink while driving when they think if they are not popular any more they might lose every thing they own like there car’s, house, children or wealth and riches. People might think they are crazy but they know that they will still be popular.

Victor C.

W.B. Green Junior High School

Yes, all they want is attention once they lose their career, and they start to lose popularity and since they don’t want to lose their jobs they will commit crimes just to get attention. They want to feel young again and continue to get attention and stay in front of the other new celebrities; they will commit crimes but can’t take the consequences. I don’t ever think they should even be let out early. No one really cares if they cry they deserve the same treatment as us.

Alex H.

W.B. Green Junior High School

It depends, because celebrities can break the laws to get more attention and publicity. They don’t care what they’ve done, and just want to be talked about even if it’s bad news; other celebrities don’t want attention on what they are doing wrong. They don’t want to be on the news for doing something illegal for fear it might hurt their career.

Sarelly

W.B. Green Junior High School

I think they do because they get caught in their game. They feel empowered, celebrities want to get more famous and want to gain more power, and they feel they need to break the law to get publicity. They feel pressured to break rules and also they forget the rules or think it doesn’t apply to them. Celebrities’ think they can break the laws all they want and won’t get in trouble. They do all that just for publicity, I can’t believe that.

Y.B

W.B. Green Junior High School

No, celebrities don’t break laws for publicity; they do it because they thinks they’re above the law, and why wouldn’t they think those officials are so light on celebrities. It’s a miracle every celebrity hasn’t been in jail at least once. The majority of people doing this are Britney Spears, Lindsey Lohan and Paris Hilton, three out of those three all went to jail, so no they don’t do it for publicity they break the law because they can.

George Juarez

W.B. Green Junior High School

Yes, I believe that celebrities break the laws for publicity when you think about it Paris Hilton has brokne the law three times just for DWI, Britney Spears shaved her head, lost her children, has become a brunet, and is still trying to get them back. Michael Vicks on the other hand has done illegal dog fighting, I don’t think he did that for publicity he was just messed up. A lot of celebrities break the laws for publicity because they have gotten old and no one pay attention to them, but other celebrities just do the wrong things.

Noe M.

W.B. Green Junior High School

Yes, because they want to stay or get back in the limelight. Britney Spears had disappeared for a while, and then she decided to shave off all of her hair. She has already been in rehab twice because of drugs, she has also been caught with her son in her lap while she was driving, and just lately she has had her children taken away from her Britney like a lot of other celebrities needs to get her life together. Some celebrities just don’t know when to stop.

Sarah

W.B. Green Junior High School

Yes, I do think celebrities break laws for publicity. Once celebrities aren’t popular anymore they’ll try almost anything to be noticed once again. Celebrities want to be on TV in magazines and in newspaper. Take Lindsey Lohan for example she may be drinking and doing drugs not just because she likes it but because she wants to be noticed by others.

K.V

W.B. Green Junior High School

Yes, I think so because some people are messed up, like Michel Jackson there are many things he has done, many things I shouldn’t say. He tried to kill his boy, he said if the police get any closer he would hang his baby off the balcony. Later he was charged with child endangerment, in my opinion he should be put behind bar, we’re all people. Some are rich and poor but if you commit a crime you should be put behind bars.

Daniel A.

W.B. Green Junior High School

I think they do because they are used to all the attention they get when they are no longer popular they begin to do things to get attention again. They shave their heads or get married in less than fourteen days. Some go out at night and get drunk, so paparazzi get them on camera. They know if they do something that could get them arrested; the police will only give them a little bit of time in jail because they are celebrities.

C.H.

W.B. Green Junior High School

I think that it depends on who the celebrity is. Some celebrities might break the law for attention because they’re so used to the attention and they know that they probable won’t get in as much trouble as a normal person. Others might just make the wrong decisions. Not everybody wants to be in the limelight forever. Some people think that Britney pulled out all of her hair and stuff for attention but nobody really knows if she did it for attention or because she really did have issues. Some are just messed up because of their childhood and well when they grow up they end up making their life worse. Some celebrities seriously need help getting everything together, while others need to learn that they won’t always be famous.

Jennifer

W.B. Green Junior High School

Well celebrities break laws because they want to be publicity in the news. There just want to break the laws, they want to be in each news, and the dumb celebrities be drunk and do the dumb things to be in the news. There just dumb people in this world they well do anything to be in the news.

D.E.M

W.B. Green Junior High School

Yes, I do think celebrities do break laws for publicity because they just do stupid things and then they are told not to do it and they go to jail or prison then they say there are going to die in here and other stuff. Just like Paris Hilton and Lindsey Lohan and Britney Spears. But since they are celebrities they get about 30 days and if they were not celebrities they would have gotten like 10 years.

L.I.V

W.B. Green Junior High School

I do think they break the laws. All the celebrities want is attention and when they don’t get it they take it to another lever. The other level is where they do drug over dose, harm themselves and get drunk and do something dumb. They just want the lime light and want ever thing to be about them. When it’s to the point where there not getting enough spot light they do whatever it takes to get publicity or have it.

Ashley T.

W.B. Green Junior High School

Yes, because they get old and don’t have any publicity, furthermore when they get in jail they don’t serve all of they’re time but when an ordinary person gets in jail they have to serve the whole time.

Bob S.

W.B. Green Junior High School

It’s is true they do, just for money and they don’t go to jail. If they go to jail it is not that long. They should stay in there for along time and they should be in there and get jump. A lot of people should jump them and they should put old clothes on them we are all the same just because they have money.

G.P

W.B. Green Junior High School

In my own opinion I do think celebrities break laws just for publicity. Just like Britney Spears, she is always breaking the laws. I know she knows the laws because she’s not that dumb. She drives with her kids on her laps. Drinks and drives with her kids on her front seat and their not buckled up. Then there’s Lindsay Lohan. I have never seem such a famous teen act so stupid, she is so crazy, she drinks, and drive, smokes at the same time. She used to be a very famous for movies and now she’s not famous. She had such a great career in front of her but she stopped making movies for maybe about a year. She tried coming back with a movie but it was not a hit. What I think is just that for a good comeback she tried doing bad things. Maybe she’ll get famous for that. Then another person in my opinion that breaks laws just for publicity is Paris Hilton, many people are asking why she is famous, her CD, movies are never a big hit. Why is Paris Hilton famous? Paris Hilton she does ridiculous things.

Holly B.

W.B. Green Junior High School

Yes, I think celebrity breaks laws just for publicity, because they get paid extra money for coming out in the magazines, newspaper reporter and stuff like that. So I think, so I know, maybe. Anyway um… like for example Britney Spears shaved her head but I don’t think she did it to come out in the magazine or anything like that. I think actually my cousin told me that she shaved her head, because she wants people to stop following her, chasing her, but they still chase her everywhere like the newspaper reporter. I’m not really sure if she wants her hair to grow back again. Who knows maybe she does. So maybe I think celebrities break laws just for the publicity. Maybe they just do it for an example, a lesson, or maybe even a prank, I don’t know. I guess maybe I’m wrong, so anyway maybe the celebrities break laws just for publicity and that my final decisions.

Amy C.

W.B. Green Junior High School

No, I do not think that celebrities break laws just for publicity, because they tend to do stupid things like getting drunk. Maybe sometime they fill the need for attention so they do it on purpose. For examples Lindsey Lohan getting very drunk, and is Hillary Duff always throwing food in public. Sometime it’s just the way celebrities live and the way they do things for example Britney Spears doesn’t wear underwear. Nicole Riche with her eating disorder, then again it’s like I said before getting drunk for example Mel Gibson talking bad about Jewish people, cursing police, and driving under the influence of alcohol.l Not all celebrities are the same; they all do things their own way.

Kayla B.

W.B. Green Junior High School

Yes, I think celebrities break laws for publicity for instance, Britney Spears is a perfect example she lost her children and shaved her head bold. She went to rehab but got out the following day and was caught driving drunk. There was a time she tried to hit a photographer in the street with an umbrella. Lindsey Lohan keeps getting into accidents, crashing into the wall and laughing she needs a car. Vanessa Ann Hudgens likes attention but when she was put on the computer naked she got real mad and blamed it on Zac Efran and they are saying that it never happen. This is why I think celebrities break law because everytime they come out on a magazine they get paid money.

Samuel C.

W.B. Green Junior High School

Yes, I think that celebrities break laws for publicity. Most celebrities get paid more if they get a lot of publicity even if it is bad. I think we should put all the ones that have broken a lot or important laws in a rehabilitation center or boot camp or some where to teach them to behave. For example Lindsey Lohan crashed and messed up her cars, Lindsey might not be able to keep a car for that long. I’m not even positive but I think she crashed like three cars in a couple of months. Another example is Britney Spears she almost got her children taken away from her, one time she was caught driving with one on her lap and she was holding a drink in the other hand she wasn’t using to drive with. My last example of celebrities breaking law for publicity is Paris Hilton got her license taken away by the police, but not to long after she was caught driving again. Paris might need to go to boot camp for a while or something.

Kamie

W.B. Green Junior High School

Celebrities are rich people who think they can do what ever they want because we let them we need to tell them behave like grown ups. They also do stuff that are insane like drive drunk while their kids are in the back of the car. They also do weird thing kill their kids almost and they also behave like they no nothing and some even make there cars really loved that the only thing I like about them and their big houses, their back yards. They also have some cool jewelry but they behave badly, people are supposed to teach the young not the other way around. It’s like kindergartners they all remained me when I was a baby. I will allow mess up with my cousin by pushing him to the block and me almost laughing. Th were good they and here aim mature and they are bigness and they still behave like that. What the matters with them are they sick, are they doing for the fans, money and attention. They also know they are always going to notice them even like being like that.

Jose C.

W.B. Green Junior High School

I think that celebrities don’t get in trouble just for publicity. I think that when they get in trouble that they do it on a accident so when they get in trouble news reporter and paparazzi makes a really big deal about it. But if a person that lives a regular life gets in trouble they don’t make that really big of a deal. Most celebrities who get in trouble like Michel Vick didn’t have that much publicity. But now that they caught him fighting dogs he is all over the news. He knows he shouldn’t be fighting dogs and now they might kick him out of football. There might be more celebrities that get in trouble on purpose and there are celebrities that just get caught doing bad things that they shouldn’t be doing. Brandon

W.B. Green Junior High School

I think that maybe they do break the laws for publicity. One thing I know is that Lindsey Lohan does break the laws because she always on a magazine. And Britney Spears don’t get me started…she loves the attention, now she really is in the magazines. Paris Hilton she likes it too. All these girls all like attention but I’m really saying that maybe celebrities break laws and maybe they do it because of their stress. People say that Britney Spears is stressed because Kevin left her. Paris Hilton doesn’t have stress but she loves the attention. I really do feel sorry for them because I feel like they ruin there lives but my opinion is maybe I’m not going to be like other people putting yes or no.

Clara C.

W.B. Green Junior High School

Yes, because they just want to have more attention like Britney Spears when she dropped her baby and blamed it on her maid. I think she sued her because she wanted more money. Lindsey Lohan gets drunk at clubs just because she wants more publicity and more fans. Wrestlers use fake blood to entertain their fans, and hit there opponent with chairs, hammers, bats, and other weapons. They also take steroids to get stronger and hurt the opponent. When Vince Mucnhman faked that he died just so people can care about him and blamed it on some people that didn’t do it.

Aaron M.

W.B. Green Junior High School

Sometimes they break laws for publicity like 50cent and Kanye West are both battling to see who is better a rapper. There are people that don’t like Akin, Usher and John. All of these celebrities don’t break the laws for publicity. Other celebrities break laws for publicity like Michael Vick. He fight dogs and kills them and now he is in jail. Like Vanessa Ann Hudgens. They found her naked pictures on the Internet and it is all over the news but she wasn’t doing it for publicity. Since she was trying to hide from the reporter that is why I think that she isn’t doing it for publicity. There are still a lot of celebrities who break laws for publicity like Lindsey Lohan. They found cocaine in her car and got arrested. Britney Spear shaved her head off.

Eleazar P.

W.B. Green Junior High School

Yes, I believe that celebrities break laws just for publicity, for example celebrity parents could name their children whatever name they want to name them. Another example Britney Spears how come she doesn’t get arrested when she drives with her baby in the front. Also when celebrities have a party, the parties have to be loud but you don’t see any police coming to stop the party. Some celebrities are not like other celebrities because they don’t want to look like idiots. Fighting over guys, shaving their head bald, and trying to be anorexic because you think you don’t look good are dumb things. Mostly all celebrities get surgery so they could make themselves beautiful. When a celebrity has a disease they get surgery d to feel even more beautiful.

Abigail B.

W.B. Green Junior High School

I believe celebrities do break laws just to get attention, just like Britney Spears she dropped her baby and blamed it on the maid. I think most celebrities just want to be on the cover of magazines, newspaper, etc. All of these celebrities want is to be more famous, that why they do what they want to be on covers. Most people think Britney Spears will lose custody of her kids, plus she did lose custody. Most celebrities think “Oh my! I’m on the newspaper for doing something wrong I better not go out in public.” Maybe sometimes they even go out in public and say I did steal a purse or drop a baby. They even blame things on different people. I also think Britney Spears doesn’t care about her kids, she goes out ever since her divorce and she leaves the kids with a sitter. If she really loved her kids she wouldn’t go out and party with friends. Imagine if her kids never got to their mother again because she lost custody, you’d be crying in tears. That’s why if she would have not gone out and party all the time she would still hav her kids.
