If I were more articulate, I’d find a way to describe my day yesterday other than “shittastic,” but because I dropped my phone down an elevator shaft, I don’t have access to my Thesaurus app, so I’m out of luck. On my way home from an errand, I picked up the Evening Standard magazine, which I do on the regs even though I become full of rage when I see that once again, they are featuring the offspring of a celeb who is him/herself “on the brink of stardom.” I honestly think the ES Mag goes this route 50 out of 52 issues a year, give or take. These pieces all manage to peddle the same lies, and y’all know how I feel about a FORMULA. So, while it shouldn’t bother me at all, below are a few statements you will inevitably see made in a profile about a celeb’s kid. I call bullshit, and call on ES Mag to do same:
- The celeb’s kid is “not your average celebrity’s child” (Yes they are, because they are trying to become actors)
- Because they are totally “down to earth”
- Due to have “never really known” their parent(s) is (are) famous
- They never considered acting as a career (this one cracks me up)
- They’re totally not into the Hollywood scene (they say while sitting at the Chateau Marmont and musing on their first rehab stint, at sixteen)
- They don’t drink (DUI charges pending)
- They had to work as hard/harder than anyone else (HAHAHAH)

Yes, he has a SEVERE case. Brooklyn Beckham is an example of a moderate case. I can’t think of an example of a mild manifestation just now. I suspect those folks don’t make the cover of magazines.
