What Separates the Good from the Bad in Hollywood

There are two types of people in the entertainment industry, the ones that are considered to be good people and the type that have just been so sucked in to the bad side of things that they don`t even know which way is up. So, what separates the good from the bad in the entertainment industry? Should we just think that all the bad things that celebs get caught with, for instance picking up a transvestite on Hollywood Blvd, is just an exaggeration from entertainment mags and paparazzi, or do we take it for what it is, a star acting badly.

Frankly, it seems that every star in the entertainment industry has done some really awful things in their past, yet there are some celebrities that don`t face serious consequences from these actions, or at least not lasting ones in the minds of fans. Take Angelina Jolie for example, she went from being the bad girl in the entertainment industry to being thought of as one of the most giving people on the planet. How does one go from hanging a vile of blood around their neck to being a U.N. Ambassador?

Furthermore, why do some celebs get branded as being bad and will never be able to get out of it? Take Charlie Sheen for example, for a while the man had us fooled, we thought that he was done with drugs and prostitution and whatever else, but as soon as Denise Richards filed a report the world hated Charlie once more. Perhaps it all has to do with growing up while being an adult. Look at Angelina, she grew from being a stupid girl in love, to being a mother, and thus has changed as an entertainment industry leader and as a human as well.
