Oh give me break!  Adversity?  It is easy to deal with adversity when you have plenty of money. Britney seems like a nice person but Downey Jr. and Baldwin have turned into complete **** hats. With the devastation that Sandy caused to millions of ordinary people, MSN ran a story about how Alec Baldwn's wife had to move her red carpet dresses because her closet had a leak in it.  Oh my God!!!!  Shock Horror!!!  hey also wrote I quote "she BRAVELY stepped out onto the balcony."  Alec was pretentiously watching a movie that was about a blackout.  Oh Alec, you are so clever and perceptive, then the idiot got back to his tweeting.  I thought he was over with that.  So STFU about celebrities, they wouldn't know adversity if it kicked them in their stupid asses.  

My vote is still out on Baldwin. I can't say either way for sure if he's cleaned up his act. Spears? SHE'S A FREAKING NO REAL TALENT, MENTAL MESS!. Just like the lush Loham is. The only one (out of the 3) who seemed to really beat the odds, is Robert Downey jr. Mr Downey admitted he f'ed up royally and then stepped up and CLEANED UP.  He got clean and sober and is now doing VERY well. The rewards of keeping clean and on the straight and narrow, are that his personal life is back on track (happily remarried) and his career is hot once again. The adversities that he overcame were ones he place in front of himself and he beat those inner demons. Way to go Mr. Downey! You are a smart man to stay strong and not slip back into old ways. GOOD ON YOU sir. Let's hope some of these other people take a lesson from you and get it right as well.
