The Mirror Effect

The face of entertainment has changed radically over the last decadeand dangerously so. Stars like Britney, Paris, Lindsay, Amy Winehouseand their media enablershave altered what we consider "normal" behavior. According to addiction specialist Dr. Drew Pinsky and business and entertainment expert Dr. S. Mark Young, a high proportion of celebrities suffer from traits associated with clinical narcissismvanity, exhibitionism, entitlement, exploitativenessand the rest of us, especially young people, are mirroring what we witness nightly on our TV and computer screens.

Dr. S. Mark Young heads the entertainment business program at the University of Southern California's Marshall School of Business and is the author of five books.
