Does anyone actually identify with 'troubled' stars? I had a poster of Kurt Cobain on my wall as a teenager because I thought he was a rather good looking chap, not because I hated myself and wanted to die. I liked Justine because she was the supercool frontwoman of her own band and did what she liked, not because she was an enormous junkie. This is why I find it hard to understand people's obsession with eg Pete Doherty, where he clearly has NOTHING going for him at all apart from all the 'ohhhh woez I have written some poetry in BLUD'.
