Explain??
Really when it comes to anyone wealthy/famous, does it not always come back on the public/masses that in the long run promote/make them that way??
And usually it shows the backing by bettering there lives in some way.........
Really i don't have any problem with any success for anyone, as long as they do give back in some way or form, I think even Idol would agree with that....
Do you think Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos, Steve Wozniak, Walt Disney, Stanley Martin Lieber (Rest is peace), and many many more, don't you think brains, luck, dreams, and really the public interests have something to do with that??
Now do/did they give back??
Cookbooks??

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money
RE: Meg, Idol, Anon, others.......
This was interesting on this topic......
I read and viewed on a show, and they were talking about the changes in Hollywood, and market-share. If you go back to a lot of the tv shows and they were big hits, Happy Days, Good Times, Hogans Heros, Mash, Batman, Ironside and so on, in those days there was no percentage or dividend given to the actors. Again that is interesting compared to today, especially when it does come to syndication...
Now you look at the other side and the cost to make say a movie or tv show, what happens if it flops??
Even know it may not be said, but the same with sports, to get a star or a top pick on your team and the money you have to pay to get them, and how you build a team around that, especially with salary caps (Except Baseball, just look at what the the Yankees salaries are!!!, no salary cap in that sport). Now i will say if you are an owner of a team today in any sport cost Billions for a franchise. So really is it ego for the owner to have a star player or is it really to win a championship??
My personal opinion on that is more of the return on investment, does it warrant?? Novelties, advertisement, ticket sales, etc?? Do you think that over weighs winning??
Again when you see an actor, and there are many that just don't make it, and funny you say some have no talent, but marketing, shows, and how the majority of the public views a show or movie, makes or breaks an up and coming actor no?? I mean look at "Friends", and how many became famous after that show ended?? And how many moved from a Tv series and became a Movie star?? or vise versa??
Saying that, look at so many Movies or Tv shows and the first of a series becomes a blockbuster, the second they get huge contracts/dollars for a sequel, and then they start putting other lead actors in the series, and it can either fuck it all up or a slight chance of making it better?? I use the Bond series because it is one i really like. Can you imagine taking Ryan Renolds out of "Deadpool"?? Can you think of someone that could replace him??
And really how many shows that i thought were really good and they get cancelled for reality shows, just crap!!! I could never figure out who really votes for them???
Interesting topic I think...

"Kitty Seas"...like a salad dressing, but enhances the flavor of daily dry boring cat food. Many delicious flavors!
(Only 2% of your gross profits*... as long as you don't make a "Chum" flavor.)

I do have a few more new ideas Shay.

Part of the superstar is also to generate ticket and merchandise sales. NBA is interesting now that the players were having more say by working together to get to the same team they desire in order to play for championships and still make the money they want.
