More on T.O., Rule 5, and the potential of wasted potential

Is there much difference between Terrell Owens (now with the Bills) and people like Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan – undoubtably talented, successful, could go on to greatness, but squandering their potential with bad choices?

Who knows why it happens. Lots of reasons, I guess. It’s not as easy to be rich, beautiful, and famous as we think.

Which brings me to…Hayden Panettiere – beautiful and talented, star of a hit TV show, and only 18 years old.

I’m begging you – absolutely begging you, Hayden – don’t let yourself become one of them!

Ha. Just kidding. Well, partly – I really do hope she keeps herself out of the tabloids (and the rehab centers). Don’t sell yourself for the cheap headlines, Hayden! Let your talent and your looks and your career speak for themselves!

But I’m really just searching for an excuse to post a picture. It’s Rule 5 Sunday, after all.
