As you all know, Britney Spears has went through many drastic transitions in life. Yet, every album she produces never fails to get us hooked to her upbeat lively songs. Her recent release was the song “If You Seek Amy”. I was walking back with my friend and he went like, “Do you know what the title means?” I was like, there is a deeper meaning? And he said if we said it really quickly or listened to the song, It meant F-U-C-K Me.
The media has indeed changed her drastically, because to appeal to a larger crowd, she has become a sexual public figure and from once an innocent American sweetheart that was passionate about being in the Mickey Mouse Club, she has shaved her head, had a divorce and bringing up a child now. The papparazzi also hasn’t given her a break, could it be due to this pent up stress the media has shone that limelight on her that she went through major changes?
There are many young starlets now, Lindsay Lohan also has broken out of that innocent shell and Miley Cyrus posted her wild side of life openly, Is this th trend in time to come where aspiring artiste like Taylor Swift will mould according to what the media perceive as interesting?
Have communication become one way where we decide to do things in favor of the receiver point of view?

The media only shines the spotlight on the hot gossips that the public wants and ignores the rest.
Comment by tzer October 11, 2009 @ 9:41 amthe photo you posted of britney being so distressed is exactly what i want to say, the paparazzi only snap photos of starlets in the worst angle making them look so bad such that they have something to exaggerate and write about.
Comment by Zhang Jingyi October 11, 2009 @ 1:57 pmHaha that pic of druggie Britney is hilarious! Anyway most, if not all, forms are communication is reciever based, because it doesn’t really matter what you communicate if it isnt interpreted by the receiver in the same way. Most of these stars struggle to conform to societal demands, and it takes a toll on them and forces them to abandon the image and ideals they had in the first place. Some of them, however, are just bad decision makers.
Comment by Chander October 11, 2009 @ 7:30 pmIt is true that the media only broadcast what the readers want to hear. Many times the true can be skewed to the extremes just so that readers get a kick out of it. These celebrity can do 100 good deeds and only 1 bad one and it’ll be captured and splashed all over the news, overriding the 100 good deeds done. Therefore do not wholly believe whatever you see or hear from the media.

Comment by shadowcat November 1, 2009 @ 1:35 pmWell, i guess one wants to be famous, he/she has to give up their privacy.

Comment by Ben Chew November 1, 2009 @ 2:23 pmi do agree that these celebrities have to portray themselves in ways that they are told to do so. this always happens in sponsorships and advertisements. i guess this is the price to pay for being a celebrity. you privacy and sometimes, choices are being compromised
