Russell Wetanson, the Celebrity Legal Expert, Can Show You The Ups and Downs of Celebrity Law
There are an abundance of television programs, journals and blogs about movie stars, celebrity rumors, information about stars, etc. I think that at this point, it’s important to have an angle and keep the subject interesting by having something slightly different to say. Which explains my reason for writing a semi-fan essay about Russell Wetanson, author of “Popsquire” blog and subject matter expert in pop culture law.Pop culture legal expert
1 Russell is trained in law. He has provided representation for well known people like Madonna. As a television personality, he’s spoken with some people you might recognize – such as Beyonce, Kate Hudson, and Matthew McConaughey. All the education, direction and experience come together to make something new. You will find that his viewpoints on entertainment and celebrities will be quite different from the norm. His knowledge of law and specifically entertainment law adds something different; especially when you consider how many legal matters exist in the entertainment industry. These things create a lot and certainly entertaining blog articles and interviews. Can you imagine having to have the mindset of not only a lawyer but also an entertainer?I can’t. It’s very interesting to see how Russell combines these two viewpoints into something workable and fun even though the two fields are so opposed.Pop culture law
2 He spends his time on hollywood news that’s controversial and legal (potentially). I really don’t care about who the celebrities are dating or who they are wearing at the Oscars. What DOES interest me is the darker and more controversial stuff. Miss California VS Perez Hilton-INTERESTING. Hilton’s testimony in court-INTERESTING. Michael Jackson? Well, let’s just say the fun NEVER ends with that one.
3 Lighten Up. There are plenty of entertainment news programs, as well as periodicals and weblogs, which treat the legal affairs of celebrities very seriously. And that tends to affect people’s views of the individuals about whom they’re talking. It’s not that serious, though. It’s called the “Entertainment Industry” because it’s supposed to ENTERTAIN us. You can be sure that Mister Wetanson remembers it. He is comical and entertaining wherever I see him. This is indeed news. But it’s extremely enjoyable news. And it’s unserious. And that’s good. I could watch the local news for seriousness.Celebrity legal expert
