Pop culture legal expert Russell Wetanson has represented such high visibility clients as Madonna, and has been named a Rising Super Lawyer for three consecutive years by Los Angeles Magazine. He brings his legal expertise and inner circle contact with the entertainment world to Popsquire, where he examines the daily collision between these two interesting worlds. According to Leeza Gibbons, host of hollywood Confidential, “Popsquire's Russell Wetanson always brings a fresh and insightful perspective to the discussion of celebrity news.” It true that almost everyday a hollywood or other celebrities break the law and get sued for doing it. We want to know the details about how famous people get into trouble. When a movie star is arrested for shoplifting, we all want to know who, what, when, where, how, and possibly most important why? Everyone wants the answers a second time when a celebrity with tons of money, huge houses and popularity hurts his girlfriend who is even more of a celebrity. It is this area in which Popsquire does very well. It is not only gossip about famous people but also smart and quick information.
There are enough celebrities out there causing some sort of trouble that there are multiple entries on Popsquire every single day. By the time this was written, seven entries had been made yesterday with an additional four today. Today's role models, making today's news, though not all of the collisions between pop idols and the legal system involve wrongdoing by the stars. A number of celebrities have been victimized lately by crimes such as robbery as well as have been voicing opinions on controversial issues.
It is unavoidable. Popular culture and law will always be on collision.
