As a pop music fan, I was BLOWN AWAY (no kidding) by the Chris Brown/Rihanna incident. To see this young, attractive music power couple in this difficult situation was rather sobering. In a matter of seconds, it was a cold, hard reminder that no one is exempt to making troubled choices.
Granted, this is no news flash. How often have we heard about celebrities and drunk driving, or lashing out at the press or something?
No, but domestic violence. This is pretty touchy. If it happens, it happens behind closed doors. Not cast out in such a way for public scrutiny. The sad thing is that they're so young - but it doesn't mean they're exempt from the same things that make us tick. And that includes sordid pasts or trouble with family.
No, the difference is that they're expected to convince us of the illusion that it is possible to have it all and look great doing it.
But as this incident will prove it, illusions are just that - illusions. And maybe it's not so much sweeter on the other side.
