The title says it all: Is being famous really a very special thing? Or does it ruin your life to have everyone in the country and beyond know your name? I know what you think. Of course it's a good thing. Celebrities have their own private limo. They're seen every TV show, and even after the TV show, they're seen in every commercial. Fans all around make celebrities a big topic to talk about, online and in real life. Everyone wants to be known for their talent. What could be so bad about fame?
1. You get no privacy. At all. Stalker fans/paparazzi will follow you everywhere. They'll snap pictures of you casually buying milk at the grocery store, then upload it onto the Internet. See, you can't even buy milk without having at least one camera in your face.
2. Haters. Every celebrity gets hate. No matter how talented or beautiful they are. Everyone has their own opinion. No matter who they are. I know--To be a celebrity, you should expect it and accept it. Still, though, can you really stand the hate comments on YouTube?
3. Fans have good imagination. I'm not talking about stuff like "I see a unicorn" or whatever. I mean, they make up a lot of stories. Rumors once spread about Lady Gaga actually being a man. Where'd THAT come from? Even after she explained on an interview that she was 100% woman, some still thought she was not. How humiliating.
4. Pictures. Again, imagination. Celebrities have their pictures online and everywhere else. Fanclub sites, Wikipedia, YouTube, desktop wallpapers, you name it. But some pictures aren't very pleasant. These days, people have Photoshop. Once those pics are online, anyone can add their "finishing touches" to it...
5. You'll be busy. World tours this week, radio/TV shows the next. Then you've got a concert followed by a photo shoot and a commercial to be in. That leaves no family time, or any time for yourself. Many celebrities are so busy, they only come home for a Christmas dinner. That's only once a year.
6. Celebrities regret wanting to be famous. Justin Bieber said so. So did Beyonce and Britney Spears. If you don't believe me, check this out.
So, if you think you've got enough talent to wow the world, think again. You might end up regretting things.
