Nicole Richie is at it Again

Nicole Richie was pulled over in Burbank while driving her black Mercedes SUV. She admitted she taken Vicodin and had smoking pot. It is just amazing to see how the industry of Hollywood is affected by drugs and it is also devastating. She had gotten out of rehab not to long ago and had claimed to being clean ever since. It is sad to see a figure that so many young girls watch and look up to fall once more, she should realize that she is a public figure and she need to avoid slip ups such as this one. The story doesn't end there when Nicole was weighed she weighed a mere 85 pound. Most kids weigh more than her, after denying anorexia so much it is ridiculous to continue, the numbers just don't lie. This also lead me to think whether the drugs have to do with the weight loss or does the weight loss have to do with the return of the drugs? All in all Nicole could have the potential of being a positive figure, after all she an inspirational story. She was adopted by Lionel Richie at the age of 9, Nicole and has been in prestigious schools of dance, acting and much more since then. She definitely had the resources that others don't but unfortunately she puts it to waste like so many young girls in Hollywood.

The Type of Media Consumer I am

At the beginning of this course I was asked what type of what type of media consumer I was then. Today it is easy to see the evolution and growth I have had since then. I am a news consumer. I like to watch the news as well as look for the latest news on the Internet. I have learned how to navigate the Internet and find things of my interest better than before. My interest include pop-culture, controversial subjects and anything that reports of social inequality in society. I have actually pulled away from television a lot, I simply have no time for it anymore. I am attracted to media available to me when I want it and that interest me. I am still into magazines but am also into journalist that have something substantial say. From time to time I look for articles in the Mercury Post that may catch my eye. Prior to this I had no clue how important it is to be selective with the media you consume. People magazine is just not cutting it anymore, I don't feel like paying for information which I can access immediately and with less hassle on the Internet. I no longer am interested on my space I want something better. I want entertainment, relevance, and importance all in one. I am looking to figures such as Anderson Cooper, Maria Elena Salinas and community leaders for my media.
