What is it about celebrity that seems to compress a lifetime into a few short years?

Asked by NewZen (3502points) October 16th, 2009

Was reading today’s news: Avril Lavigne (she’s 25 – when did that happen?!) is already getting divorced after just three years of marriage (no kids, thank G-d).

She also wants to “mellow out” her singing style.

What happened to the little Canadian teen singing Skater-Boi (with an “i” right? Not boy – for whatever reason – not a typo)?

Madonna on divorce number ? – says she’d rather get hit by a train than marry again – and she’s a young 50 – still outperforming everyone else (highest grossing concert tour of the year, btw.)

Heath Ledger et al.

Do you agree? Can you think of other examples, or perhaps analyse this with me.
