Multiple substances found in Liam Payne's system: Sources
The Cult of Celebrity in our " Culture of Narcissism " - it is hard to get through those long hours when you are not HIGH on adulation. Even alcoholism among Hollywood celebrities is every bit the scourge it was in the past. The irony of it : their stock in trade is as much their striking good looks as whatever " talent " they possess. My best friend's story of the love of his life ( for him an unrivaled beauty ) : she ruined her beauty, long before natural inevitable aging, with alcohol and cigarettes. A few years ago he made a nostalgic visit to " the hag " , he tells me. Still, in general, nobody in a rotten capitalist society can " stay golden ". Recall the fate of James Dean and Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe and a hundred others. Perhaps " happiness is eternity in a moment " ? ( Albert Camus ) .
