I can see this type of news being Positive and negative. I agree that there's absolutely nothing wrong with what is reported. I'm actually happy to know she lives her life like any other human being. A lot of times celebrities are so cautious about what the press and tabloids say they try to stay secluded to protect their image since the media can really distort things. It's unfortunate celebrites often times sacrifice their freedoms to become a public figure.
I don't know anything about Ayu's personal life, so this little glimpse is refreshing. She looks like she's having a great time, which i'm sure all her fans enjoy seeing.
The details about her being at a Gay club is only an issue to people who have issues with Gay clubs I guess. Who really cares where she is having fun, so long as it's not illegal!
Personally I also dislike her smoking, but only because I dislike smoking in general. We all know the health risks with smoking. As for why it makes people become thinner or fatter...it's because it increases your bodies metabolism. So if you start smoking, you have the tendancy to get thinner as your body works faster in burning energy. But say if you quit smoking, it's possible to become heavier if your food intake was greater than before smoking. Your metabolism will slow back to "normal" but the caloric intak was increased.
Her drinking and smoking probably won't be shocking to her older fans, but since a lot of her fans are teenagers too, it's true reports of her smoking and drinking could upset the younger crowd. I'm sure parents might take notice too considering she is idolized by so many young teens and kids. It's to be expected.
Only time will tell if this type of news will affect her popularity.
Personally I don't find anything wrong with it. That tabloid might sound controversial, but really, there was nothing outrageous said in that tablod. If anything it seemed whoever wrote that article was trying to make a big deal out of nothing
