AGENDA
1. DO NOW
2. Google Doc: Instructions- Use the entire period to complete THIS PROCESS
I want everyone to clearly understand WHAT, WHY and HOW they will be completing this project.

Celebrities behaving badly
Celebrities behaving badly is something that will be addressed by the press, but very rare when it’s on their good deeds or behaviors.  Readers crave it and the press hunts for it. Celebrities mainly do this for three main reasons publicity, drama, and gossip.
            First reason why is because of publicity.  Let’s face the facts donating money or participating at charity events would probably just get you a paragraph or two, but for an example: Lindsay Lohan gets arrested for breaking the law it instantly hits the news, and internet, and let’s say that Angelina Jolene and Brad Pit donate two million dollars to charity it probably won’t even hit the news. According to ABC news by LUCHINA FISHER  “Not only is there no such thing as bad publicity," said Andrew Wallenstein, a deputy editor at The Hollywood Reporter, "bad publicity is often the very best publicity." Also most celebrities are willing to risk their career so people can keep buying their records and keep watching their movies.
Readers crave this stuff, and look forward to other people’s problems.
            The second reason celebrities behave badly is because of more drama. Some celebrities have their own reality show or some other kind of show that has a lot of drama because the cast
Are always fighting, or just doing something bad. Also most celebrities are willing to act like the shows are real life drama but there just reading a script so they can get more viewers, but that’s not just it according to ABC news by LUCHINA FISHER  “No one knows that better than the people in reality television shows. Ever since Puck got expelled from the house on MTV's "The Real World," in 1994, misbehaving has grabbed headlines. "In reality TV shows, this is a goldmine — misbehavior, acting out — it's exactly what they look for," Miller said.
            The final reason is gossip. A lot of magazines such as OK Magazines, celebrity gossip, and pop star magazine are filled with gossip one page to another. A lot of people read these magazines/ articles so they can fill their heads with gossip and roomers. Gossip is what’s getting people by many.  People have a job for finding out gossip or at least get some dirt on the person they are doing their report on. Gossip is the third reason why celebrities and people of America tolerate and don’t mind for the bad thing celebrities do.
            Celebrities often behave badly for more publicity, more drama in peoples life, and gossip that’s for a living. A reason why they do this? There are various answers, but those are just some reasons they do this act.

comic master

the colors were not optional you could not pick the fount or color of the text or characters.


on the theme i gave it a 5 because the themes were very detailed but  there just were not many to choose from.i belive other people would like it, but i would not want to use this because it would make  my comic look very boring.other people might have diffrent opinions about this but i would not pick comic master for and of my creative assignments

comic master

comic master



  • simplicity 5




  • color: 4




  • theme 5

  • total 14

i gave the simplicity of the comic master a 5 because it was really crowded and hard to understand. It helped you a little but most of it you have to figure out on your own. It was also confusing because it did not have any thing to tell you what is what.

on the color i gave it a 4 because most of the colors were forest green, dark blue, gray,and black. The colors were very gloomy.
