It's difficult to come up with something that people would read if it's based on a happy story. Human interest is nice, but society wants to read about the cases of failure so that they can feel better about themselves.

At one point Eminem use to be my idole, I loved him like crazy, but I didn't go around cursing all the time or insulting my mom. Plus, I bet that just by having that publicity of being a junkie made Lindsey Lohan lost a lot of her fans or else she wouldn't have gone through desintoxication. Plus I don't think any teenage girl would think that this is all right to be pregnant. Just because the fact that this is so badly seen by the society. It is not normal to be pregnan at such a young age, or to take drugs ect... And most of us tend to want to fit in as normal in the society we live in. All this to say that we all want to fit in the society. This is just the way it is, plus it is more secure. Now I would need the article you are refering to in your entry to make a more clear jugment. Personally, I think this is too easy to blame it on the stars.
