You should drown your sorrows about Hayden Panettiere's substance abuse by having a few beers at the course, then stopping by the bar to down a few more ... and then going home to your always on tap keg and having a few more.
You know what you should do? You should refrain from making posts like this. But that's never stopped you before.

You should refrain from making posts like the ones you have in this thread, as well. That's the point.
Did I say something that offended you so much you dug into your personal creepy database......Hmmm...MtNittany - obviously MAGA. Former golf pro. Sold fake grass for years. Now retired. Likes his Yuengling.

Is that what comes up?

Get a life you freak. You know what I know about you? Nothing. Just the way I like it, and want to keep it.

Appreciate you driving my point home.

You should have been banned from this place years ago.

Man, pop culture really did a number on you.

A woman has died. Rather than be respectful about it, you speculated that it was substance abuse driven, and pop culture caused. People tried to give you perspective, but you wouldn't relent. I simply noted the irony of a guy who has continually talked about his ingestion of substances wanting to make an issue of something like this, and try to attack an industry, rather than just respectfully remember the dead. But I'm the bad guy. Right.

Hollywood is very toxic for anyone just wanting to be normal.
It's kind of odd, but vicariously I've actually thought about "what if" I was a big star in movies or sports. What I would genuinely enjoy would be to isolate myself from the artificial crap that goes on every day (ANY Red Carpet, ALL Social Media, NO BookTours, etc.), Instead I'd try desperately to live a "normal" life in a rural place like Montana or Vermont and give Hollywood and NYC the middle finger. Maybe very unrealistic, but I would love to have had the opportunity to give it a try, Kind of the ultimate anti-Kardashian.

Some stars have done that. I am going to guess that to do that you have to be very well established. Living in Montana is great, but it leaves you out of the loop unless you already have the reputation to stay included.

If I remember correctly... thought I saw an interview where she was pretty open about her addiciton. I give her a lot of credit knowing it was going to be a real struggle and why she wanted her child to grow up with her father. In addition she said doing interviews when she was about 15 years old people fed her opoids to make her "happy and high energy" during interviews is where her addiction started.
It wouldn't take long to come up with a long list of people who were pushed into an adult world as children and ended up with serious emotional wounds. In the child-entertainer world, it's probably harder to come up with a list of those who didn't than those that did. Based on what I've read, Ms. Panettiere was tragically hurt through it all, and it's beyond sad that she passed so young and, apparently, before many of those hurts could heal.

Or, be born a male and be Tiger Woods and have these same clowns worship you for similar/worse behavior.

Tougher to do when your career starts as a child and you have less than honorable adults "leading" you.

I would put Tiger in the same category. Unless every article about his upbringing is wrong, he didn't have much chance to be a kid either. Once dad saw that he had talent, dad also saw dollar signs, and doing normal kid things was no longer on the schedule.

That list is never ending and sadly many died even younger than Hayden. The cost of fame and bad parents.

I don't know much about her upbringing, but it seems her mother was a driving force in her career as a child actor. I hope she gets NONE of it.

If she'd have raised a stock broker or an RN, she'd still have a daughter. She wouldn't have a glitzy lifestyle, but she'd have a daughter.
So true. I believe she was estranged from her mother at the time of her death.

Dumb post. 70,000 ODs a year + 40,000 suicides and they are not all child actors. Plenty of RNs, stock brokers, cops, firemen and military on that list.

You're right, but there are some "cultures" that do this country more harm than good. I would count "Pop Culture" as one of them. I mean the movies aren't even any good anymore. Or the music. None of it is worth this.

Sports. You like sports so you will ignore the downside.
