Man, I thought it was bad for the average joes and janes when stars got "exclusive water" bottles backstage. Now, well, if Paris Hilton gets a new line of clothing every season too. Celebrities and Rich People need to have a "Prince and The Pauper" thing happen big time(plus it's the only fiction book I'm reading right now.)! I want Paris Hilton to do my job, with no pictures, no PERKS, NO CAMERAS, AND NO MORE LICKING PEOPLE(aka "suck ups"). They screw everyone over most of the time, except the eledarly, they are treated like dog poop is better anyway, by major corperations and stuff nowadays too. Maybe it's because I live with my grandma that I feel that way? Or I need to stop studying all the time? Whatever. These "Lickers" need to stop doing this it's unethical, mean, and in the big picture, they're handing charity away to have some journalist write and " Celebrity SO and So wore Designer X to an ( Name of promotional event), they looked (describitive word here), and I thought they should change (name of celebrity problem/personal problem/career problem/ talent problem)."
The stuff you mentioned is just a "perk" like the clothing. Sorry for the rant, I just wanted to make a point.
