Now, in her post-sex-symbol position, that might be becoming clearer. It is not that she is gaining weight that is the problem. It is that everything about her has been secondary to her staying some adolescent-minded figure of fantasy. That could be a hard pill to swallow, to think that maybe some of the attraction was talent, personality or naivete but, no, it was all just about the sex.<br><br>The question being, who's to blame? Malleable Jessica or the underside of the human fascination with our temporary gods and goddesses?

The question being, who's to blame? Malleable Jessica or the underside of the human fascination with our temporary gods and goddesses?

If she thought her career was built on talent, she's been deluding herself for years. She's managed to make a living on what should have been 15 minutes of fame. She's like Paris Hilton without the sex tape.

To start with, it's the only facet of the entertainment industry that still tolerates sexism in such an open fashion. From bigoted hip hop stars to the skankification of every pre-teen pop star, it's just all so sleazy. These girls are built up to have nothing but looks and then are cast aside the minute something starts to sag because their career has nothing else to stand on. It really bothers me.<br><br>The best musicians have almost always been ugly anyway. The most musically illogical thing the industry has done is to make musicians about their image, though it was done to help sell records. It doesn't really make sense to buy someone's album because you're attracted to them, unless you actually that you think they'll repay you in sex. You can't really tell how someone looks by the way they sound. That's why phone sex operators do their work long distance. The pop music world is so backwards.
