Hm, I think you'd have to start with the kind of male popstar who had the same squeaky clean image as Britney and Taylor, so a young start and in pop. So I'm thinking boyband members, or guys like the Jonas Brothers and Hanson.
Like, if one of the Jonas Brothers had gone on a coke-and-alcohol bender at the height of their teeniebopper fame, I think there would've been some shock and outrage from the tabloids.
(Of course, when male popstars who started with the clean nice boy image then grow up and rebel against it, there's also a good chance that other magazines will approve, because they'd finally be behaving like A Proper Man.)
