What pisses me off is how the papparazzi always try to drag people's names through shit. Ben Cousins? Chris Mainwaring? (which really hurt because he was my favourite footy player as long as I can remember) I hope that they don't do this to Heath Ledger because he was such a good actor. If they ever did that to any of my favourite actors I'd probably even stop watching TV altogether.

I guess it's a two way street with regard to drug abuse among the famous. On one hand, they are clearly taking them for a reason, whether it be the inability to cope with their lives or whatever, and on the other hand they are role models for alot of people in society, particularly young people and they should be 'leading' by example. Of course they never mean for this stuff to get out, but no one can be in control of stuff like that. I'm not going to comment on Heath's story until we get some definitive results.

I don't know Chris Mainwaring, but as for Ben Cousins, how many times has he been told to clean up his act? If he can't handle the game, he needs to get out of there and stop destroying the game, the team, and himself. There are alot of kids who still look up to him.
