The controversy is raging right now over Adam Lambert’s appearance on the American Music Awards. Personally, I haven’t watched this awards show in years as I consider it pre-picked from the get-go but that’s only my opinion folks. The controversy though is something I see as a growing trend. The trend: reality shows acting badly. Let’s face it! They get their 10 minutes of fame and strive for more. When you finish a reality show, generally speaking, you get no additional press. The chief exception, if I remember correctly, is Boston Rob and Amber. They seem to know what to do and they do appear on television and in the news occasionally. Generally speaking, though, these two are the exception and the worse I’ve ever seen about them is Rob’s gambling. But let’s look at three examples that have recently hit the news. Jon Gosselin made it big in “Jon and Kate Plus 8.” He’s either had a mid-life crisis or has overloaded on fame. Monday night (November 23rd) saw the last broadcast of his “gravy train” (whoops, I mean show). While he thinks he will still be able to pull in big bucks and get another program, the question really is: Will he? Let’s face it. His publicity hasn’t been the most positive thing lately and TLC is suing him for all the appearances he made about the divorce. If Kate can’t use the children in a show, it stands to reason that he can’t either. What does Jon have going for him? I don’t see how he can market himself to get another reality show much less anyone to take his calls! Last one I choose to pick on is Adam Jasinik’s arrest for selling drugs. If you remember, Adam was on the winter season of Big Brother that we would all love to forget. While on the show, he made comments that cost him his job. I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised when I read that he took his Big Brother winnings and decided to go along the East Coast selling drugs. Makes you wonder just what type of a person he is. When his 15 minutes in the spotlight is done, Adam had nowhere to turn. His choice was wrong and painted a damper on an already dismal Big Brother season. There will be other instances pop up in the news I’m sure. When fame ends, you have to go somewhere. Some find a way to make their lives work and have meaning. Some know when to pop up on television. And some try to continue the fame by acting up. Will there be more? Of course, there will be. I have one more thing to add about reality stars. There are a few instances you expect over the top behavior. Remember all the negative press that the Fox Reality Really Awards has gotten over the past few years. Well, this year, they decided to clean up the show. We didn’t see the people openly drinking. There was no hot tub. There was no Danny Bonaduce or Jonny Fairplay or Evil Dick. And no more awards shaped like martini glasses. And the show was boring! Fox Reality turned it into another award show! The one show you EXPECT the stars to act up and they didn’t. Well, live and learn, I guess. Let’s hope that lives aren’t affected negatively by the reality stars gone wrong!
