We live vicariously through the many celebrity entertainers, athletes and other high profile people but we forget that many of them sprang from humble beginnings. We hold them to a higher standard due to their celebrity status and  expect them to live up to OUR expectations or perception of them. How can we as fans dictate the lives of others when we are as much at fault some times as the people we adore and castigate on a whim when they waiver. Some of us even emulate the public and often private actions of the well known folks to a fault and we follow the evil side more often than not. Each of us is a product of our upbringing (the influence of our parents) and these celebrities are no different so when we condone or decry their actions and choices we need to remember where they came from and understand hat inspite of all the wealthy trappings, they are us.  Inside each of no matter how high our social status is the person created by our parents.
