Industry Darlings who can do no wrong...

There are certain artists that people just love for some reason in Hollywood or in the music industry that can do no wrong. They good strangle a bunny in mid-day in Central Park and people would say "wow, isnt that person great"? Ok that was an exageration but you know what I mean. So who are they??

Alicia Keys
Beyonce
Justin??
Robert Downey Jr.

They're on a 7th heaven pedestal,,,,it beats me why shrug

Love is just like the faucet
It turns off and on
Sometimes when you think it's on baby
It has turned off and gone

Madonna...

The fact that she's been through so many scandals without affecting her career definitely shows how she is the Industry darling...

I don't know if I agree. She's been in hot water quite a few times but she does always seem to bounce back. Ok maybe you have a point?

i think she has a great ablity to jump back and appeals to the public. she's not an industry darling they've been waiting for her to fail since 83.

it is necessary to help others, not only in our prayers, but in our daily lives. If we find we cannot help others, the least we can do is to desist from harming them.

Scandals? Like? IMO, she hasn't been in any "real" scandals. SHe can be scandalous without being in a scandel. I think sometimes esp back in the 90's before she had kids she would push the envelope of her vision and people wouldn't take to it all that much. Actually I think she's been more controversial than scandelous.

considering that on average, about every other day there's some new article trashing her image, reputation, acting "skills" or declaring her over, i don't really get how you'd think she belongs on this list.

there's a difference between being a media "darling" and just plain perserverance.

Maybe not an industry darling, but she certainly takes command and that's probably the reason.

A small role on an episode of Ugly Betty and dropped from the Manson film. Voted worst actress this year by the Razzies. I don't think they're loving her too much. lol

He's tries to be funny when he's not and that bugs me. And his music makes me want to strangle somebody...especially 'Daughters'....hate that song with the heat of a thousand suns!

Why put Robert Downy Jr. on that list though??? He got his ass kicked 24/7 for something beyond his control, a "health" issue. Downy was the only one EVER to do real TIME for drugs while everyone else goes to a country club prison and some dont, the other night i saw TI walking around at award shows, and this guy had intent to start a war with other people he had a "Beef" with. Downey only hurt himself, he didnt drive the wrong way like Ms. Richie, he didnt drive under the inlfuence every other day like George Michael and yet Downey did the time. So just because he is in a hit movie that everyone is going to see, he also did 7 in the last 2 years that no one but people who like GOOD movies cared about.

the biggest crime, is that he was labeled a Ryan Adams "type" RU kidding me!! Ryan Adams on his worst day, while on fire, blind and with both his arms broken can create better music than John Mayer will ever

Absolute nonsense. Madonna's press is 99.99% idolatory. Her ass has been getting a thorough tongue wash every day for the last 12 years. Just the other day I read in a major newspaper how she "oozes genius from her every pore". Madonna is as much a part of the establishment now as it's possible to be.

if you think Madonna's press is 99.9% idolatry, all you need to do is read some album reviews. or movie reviews. or the weekly declarations that her career is over.

as i said before, there's a difference between a "media darling" and old-fashioned "perseverance" or overxposure.

Again. Absolute nonsense. Back up this bullshit. Show me one recent article that "declares her career is over". Julie Burchill did an editorial a few months ago slamming Madonna, but that's the only such piece there's been and that certainly didn't "declare her career was over". As for the movie reviews, we all know it's safe to criticize her acting because she's had so many flop films, but she's no worse as an actress than she is as a singer, yet the industry overlooks that. You should be happy. Your girl gets the best press of anyone. If you think a handful of negative reviews means she's getting a rough deal then you're even more spoiled than she is (she recently burst into tears because Pharrell criticized her singing).
