Everyone makes mistakes, and the plus side of not being famous is that thankfully the whole world doesn't find out when you've majorly screwed up. It doesn't make the morning headlines, your mug shot isn't plastered all over TV and it doesn't ruin your career. Provided nobody puts it on Twitter and you get mob justiced into oblivion, of course. But then, just because someone is famous doesn't mean that they're not human, they make their fair share of mistakes too. For some reason, a lot of them are probably a lot bigger than yours, because being famous ruins your perspective and your ability to modulate your behaviour. Even then, though, like everything, news becomes old and people move onto the next mistake of some other fallen star and stars with impressive rap sheets end up seeing their various crimes forgotten about entirely...
