** Alternatively, Bob doesn't do anything exciting in his day-to-day life, unless having pancakes for dinner instead of breakfast counts. (See "Untwisted.") He does this on purpose so the paparazzi will just get so bored, they'll give up on stalking him and trying to catch him doing something wrong, and go tail some trainwreck of a FormerChildStar instead.

** Bob is idolized by children and teens, and therefore, it matters how he behaves on and off stage.
** Bob is caught with drugs, gets arrested, and goes to rehab.



** He doesn't lose popularity because he did something scandalous.
** Most other people wouldn't have gone to ''rehab'', they would have gone to {{Prison}}.

Added DiffLines:

*'''Basic Trope''': A musician or other public figure can get away with pretty much anything.
*'''Straight''': Bob, a rockstar, [[SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll brings home a different "girlfriend" every night, smokes, uses drugs, and drinks like a fish]]. Not only does this ''not'' hurt his public image, it actually enhances it.
*'''Exaggerated''': Bob actually ''murders'' someone, and none of his fans bat an eye.
*'''Downplayed''': ???
*'''Justified''': Bob has a public persona (and maybe a real personality, too) as a bad boy. This makes him popular with [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys women]], and with men who want to be like him.
*'''Inverted''': Alice poses nude for a magazine, and [[ContractualPurity loses a lot of fans because their image of her as pure and wholesome has been shattered]].
*'''Subverted''': Because of some aspect of Bob's identity (i.e. his skin color, sexual orientation, where he's from, his religion, etc.), he is scrutinized more, and therefore people are more quick to decry him as morally bankrupt.
