Well look at Britney Spears she is one of those people of the media - she was getting ripped apart when she had a mental breakdown.
Well there is Damon Albarn of Blur he admitted smoking the stuff (drugs of some sort) and people ripped into him recently saying what a "bad" role model he is...

But acts these days its all about publcity and nothing more ie 1D recently .... but media have ripped into the likes of Gary Barlow (recently over tax avoidance) the media also made a song and dance back in the 90's with him and robbie williams - the media may shield them for so long then the tables will turn on them
It does not need to be drugs - the media can rip anyone to shreds whom they see fit - thats the problem they can be supportive of an act/artist/actor but be it a flop or something lets go for them.
It can also be if your that much of a bad singer you still get praise - really?? Cheryl Tweedy gets away with it if she mimes (lets look back at the BRITS) she got praised for a MIMED performance (she got away with it on X factor too - hmm hypocrite you should sing LIVE but of course we see her squeal like a cat on the Jubillee celebrations and Barlow had to jump and save her), but lets not forget when Milli Vanilli MIMED they got ripped to shreds by the media for what they done.
Also time for them to get rid of this autotune crap - if you can't sing don't do it as its blantantly obvious you get found out by trying to do it LIVE and guess who done that but still got praised ... no need
