Celebrities and Public Relations

Britney Spears
I think that Britney Spears will go down as the most talked about celebrity of this decade. We have all witnessed her transformation from the innocent bubblegum pop princess to the mother of two boys, who has rarely stayed out of the lime light in recent years. The singer’s career took a notable down turn with the divorce to the father of her children Kevin Federline. The public speculated when Britney became pregnant with her first son and the media attention only increased when she gave birth to her second child. Britney’s bubblegum image was shattered when the media took countless pictures of Britney not only looking rough but acting outrageous and partying all night long. With the media so heavily focused on Britney multiple pictures surfaced of her implementing bad parenting. for months and months all we would see is negative pictures of the singer, it seems that she did nothing to clean up her image. She was constantly pictured out late at night partying, there were multiple rumors and stories about her new lifestyle and image in gossip magazines. The pinnacle of Britney’s relationship with the media was when she famously shaved her head, and admitted herself in to a mental institution for the day. Through all of this it seemed that she did nothing to mend her ways or improve the image she was presenting to her fans. I think that the media definitely do not help in representing true images of celebrities, not defending Britney Spears but the media only show a one sided story. A story in which they know will sell magazines off the stands whether the articles are true or not it is not important to the paparazzi.
