The encouragement of heroin/drug/alcohol abuse is an important part of the equation. It's very important to keep "entertainers" in a state of substance-addled fog and narcissism, so they fail to pay attention to how badly the "entertainment" industry rips them off. If/when they die of their excesses, this generates more publicity thus selling more "product."
Not a very good handle on the heroin though.
