Celeb Drama Yields Unexpected Relief

An unexpected distraction has made its way through Greek media outlets. While the country has been dismayed with the massive debt they are dealing with, along with the repercussions of that debt, 23-year-old Greek pop star Julia Alexandratou has found herself diverting away from her role of pop princess and into one that is a little more mature. In 2007, Alexandratou released her hit single, “The Target is Cash.” The song was accompanied by a racy music video. As the title suggests, the song is basically about gold digging.

Currently Alexandratou has veered from her career as a musical and has turned to the adult entertainment industry. As Iason Athanasiadis said, “Instead of focusing on the state deficit, the public has welcomed the distraction of a bout of soul-searching over the nation's morals. The DVD has sold 240,000 copies in ten days.

Though this may not seem like a big deal to us Americans, it was the first scandal of its time in Greece and to add more drama into the mix, Alexandratou plans to marry an unidentified business man who will not be revealed until the wedding day.
