In your mind, you know it is fake,\" said Will.I.Am. \"But then, parents are parents. If you are not raising your kids to have balance in life, that is one place we have to look at - is parents. Second is society, as a whole. Not just entertainment, but politics. Going to war is violent too. There is trillions of dollars spent on war. Guess what? There is not a lot of money spent on education. So if you have kids growing up in a world where they are not educated, and entertainment, all they are doing is consuming entertainment, then the ones that are educated, like this guy that went out and shot everyone, it is how he appreciates society. If he doesn't appreciate his community, then what is he going to do with his education? If he has been, you know, hypnotized by violence in movies and terror threats, right?

And it is just really horrible that we can't even feel comfortable going to the movie theater, and that extra police have to be at movie theaters now,\" said Lovato. \"You know, it is just really sad that our world has come to that. But, on the upside, I think things need to be taken into consideration, like gun control.

And I think what happened in Aurora was horrible and my heart goes out to the families, but I think it just depends on the individual, and I am so sorry.\"\u003cbr/\u003e\"Vampire Diaries,\" star Nina Dobrev admits, she isn't sure who to blame. \u003cbr/\u003e\"I don't know if it was directly related to the film, or the fact that it was a violent film, or if that person had something deep and down inside of them, or if it was a personal vendetta,\" said Dobrev. \"You never really will know until he says so himself.\"\u003cbr/\u003eVictoria Justice is on the Nickelodeon show \"Victorious.\" \"Well, I think obviously it's devastating.
