Calling out Hollywood celebrities

DUIs, illegal drugs, rehab clinics, kids out of wedlock with different girl/ Email letters to letters@commercial appeal.com; mail Letters to the Editor, The Commercial Appeal, 495 Union, Memphis, TN 38103; or click on the “Submit Letter” link on the Opinion page atcommercialappeal.com. boyfriends and different spouses, numerous marriages, divorces, rude public behavior, breaking any law, as they consider themselves immune to arrest. Public display of obscenity, nudity and profane language, and so, who are these people?
