Tea for Two, Please.

Wink, wink.

Is it just me or did the number of reported drunk and disorderly episodes reported by the press for television and athletic personalities rise in the last few years?

I saw the headline for a couple of them on a web page this morning and I began to wonder if the media was reporting more because:

1. There are more recognized personalities drinking in excess, or
2. The press is just reporting more,

And if there are more recognized personalities drinking in excess is it because:

1. They want their name in the paper,
2. They think they're "special",
3. They are under more stress , or
4. They think they are "suppose to" because it's what celebrities do.

But if the press is just reporting more, is it because:

1. There are more episodes,
2. They think that's what the public wants to see, or
3. It's the press "thing to do" this decade.

I have heard that some celebrities have "pre-arrest" mug shots taken by actual photographers so they don't end up looking like Nick Nolte or Glen Campbell at their arrests. I don't know if that's true, but if it is, that's pitiful, just plain pitiful.
