Ne-Yo has slammed the media for rewarding the bad behaviour of troubled celebrities with hoards of press coverage, rather than focusing on their talents.The 28-year-old RandB star is proud of that fact that he's managed to dodge negative press throughout his singing career - but admits he's shocked that his fellow musicians are showered with media attention resulting from arrests, affairs and drug abuse.He says, "Image is the most difficult thing. Back in the day, you were judged off your music, or how many hits you had or the quality of your music. Now it's what celebrity you're dating, or how many times you've been arrested in a year, or what drugs you're doing. That's what gets you the cover of a magazine".
