I agree TB....
but money changes all that....she is a classic example.
modern society puts a talented person who achieves some sucess, especially in part due to their outside the box behavior, on a pedestal and encourages more exotic behavior. doing stuff beyond the pale only generates more noteriety and more money.
the hangers on grasp at the money with no regard for the goose who is laying to golden eggs.
The I am important syndrome kicks in and the hangers on escelate and reinforce it.
Lady Gaga know how to play the game without the destructive behavior. Or hers has not been quite as destructive.
