Celebs need someone to keep them in line — that’s why managers exist

They’ve got personalities

A show-business story:

The galaxy is filled with shining stars. The earth has its fill of failing ones.

How’s Alec Baldwin with that story of a shooting while filming. “Today” host Matt Lauer out over sex scandals. Diddy in jail. Kim Kardashian’s jewel heist. Britney Spears fighting over management control. Wendy Williams unhappy over her conservatorship.

People ask why celebrities with big money, big fame need overseers. Theatrical tailors who custom-make headlines, decisions and fortunes for those with large incomes and in some cases less talent. Even young VIPs and people with ability have what’s called personal managers.

Why? The answer? Many have talent. So what? Someone has to merchandise it, nourish it, keep it going.
