Why is it that entertainers and celebrities are pretty much nuts? My theory is that it comes from being creative, as in their brain is just wired differently and they don't think the same way us normal people do.
It's not because we hear about their antics and don't have that sort of view into the lives of non-celebrities; how many of your friends get drunk and fight in parking lots, OD on drugs, or commit suicide? Seriously, if real life people did things like that we'd stay way far away from their train wreck.
I also wonder sometimes if these stars just make up craziness for attention. Like, Randy Travis - his name hasn't been mentioned in years and most of us had probably forgotten he even existed. So he makes up a bunch of drunken antics, gets back in the public eye, and releases a new CD to capitalize on his recaptured fame.
Take Kim Kardashian, for example. Guys lust over her but if she showed up on your doorstep and begged you to be her boyfriend, you'd last about one week before her neuroses and obsessions made you run like hell. And if that didn't get you, she'd take you home to meet Mom and THAT should pretty much do it unless you're insane like her.
Dunno, but it's interesting that we idolize (or are at least fascinated by) a bunch of mentally ill people.
