There were hate images and statuses on Facebook and Twitter alike and then Chris Brown himself tweeted telling everyone to hate it because it didn't matter now that he had a grammy. Here's my thing. I like Chris Brown's music. If he did not go to jail that's the justice systems fail. If he gets invited to the Grammies and still comes out with CD's I'm supposed to be angry or boycott it because he's a douche? I just don't see it. I did not turn on the grammies to see him possibly hit Rihanna. I do not know Chris Brown. So I like his music, that has nothing to do with his personal life.
In the end this all goes down to tabloids and sites like Perez. Sure I get a little starstruck sometimes when meeting a celebrity, but this whole whose dating who? How does she look without makeup? It's all just creepy and should not effect a song or a film or whatever form of media these celebs participate in. It does I just do not necessarily like this. In the early years of film actors and actresses were not even named. Of course around 1912 that changed and the Star System was born. Actors were named and would even go around promoting films. If you got a film staring Mary Pickford it would probably be a hit. When Elvis first became popular they would keep his picture off of his albums because he had a distinctive African American sound and at first by doing this the record company could draw in more listeners.
Now it would be impossible to hide such information as a celebrities name or skin color (unless your MJ. Am I right or am I right?) But seriously with this technology age I think we the consumers need to back off celebrities and their personal lives a little more since all this technology makes stalking too easy.
