Jailhouse Tantrum

Who do you think you are Don’t you know who I am? I am a celebrity This arrest is a sham.   Throwing a jailhouse tantrum Nobody was impressed. Even if she held her breath She’s just a pampered princess.   I don’t have to live by Everyone else’s rules. I am a celebrity You ignorant fools.   Throwing a jailhouse tantrum Her lawyer she demands. He’ll have me out of here in an hour He’s a very important man.   How dare you take my picture Where’s my publicist? Take your hands off me you pig Through snarled lips, she hissed.   Throwing a jailhouse tantrum To her it’s nothing new. She’s used to throwing her weight around Since her Hollywood debut.

I like this one, with everything that is going on right now with celebs. They should be treated and trialed like any other normal person. But we all know this rarely happens. Brittany Rae

I Agree Completely.

These people have all the money in the world, every opportunity laid at their feet..and what do they do? Get Drunk, Take Drugs..and land in jail! They should rot in jail just like all of us "ordinary" folks. No high priced mouth piece should be able to manipulate the law to serve their purpose. Thanks for your comments/feedback.

I appreciate the comment

very well written. But could you have given us a bit more than the observation? Perhaps an insight into how the celebrity preference might be changed? Just the observation of a socialist. cheers, Jess

Preferential Treatment for Celebrities

Thanks Jess, glad you liked the piece. This country is obsessed with celebrity. It is quite frankly a complete and total bore. Although, I must admit a rabid obsession with a couple celebrities..so I guess I'm as guilty as the rest. Thanks again, Brian (bellavistabear)
