Is Being Famous Really Worth It?

Sometimes I feel that we a a society care way too much about celebrities. I mean at the end of the day aren't they regular individuals just as the rest of us? They only difference is that hey are famous and are rich. When it get down to it they are just people. I don't understand why we obsess over what they do. All these tabloid websites and magazine exploit these people when all they are trying to do is live there lives.

They say with fame comes a price. Is that price your privacy? Is all that wealth and fame worth losing your privacy? One of your natural born rights? I for one don't think its worth it. I rather just have the wealth than the fame.

I wouldn't want my private life to be invaded just cause people want to know what I'm doing at all times. I kind of feel sorry for them. Yeah the might live the life but to give up something so precious as privacy is not worth any fame. I feel that money can not buy you normality. Once you have reached ultimate super stardom there is no coming back from that. You will never live a normal life again.

You won't be able to walk down the street without someone recognizing you or the paparazzi all in your face trying to take a picture of you. Us as a society do not make these people's lives any better by not giving them the privacy they deserve just like the privacy we get to have. How would you feel if one your natural rights were to be violated consentingly almost everyday? But then again the sort of kind of asked for it. They knew that lifestyle pays a hefty price.

I agree. I mean many of them are great people and have a big influence on aspiring artist but at the end of the day they do get way too much praise. Like they are one of us, many of them coming from place that we live in today. I always say it though why should I care? They don't put not a dollar in my pocket. I mean there purpose is to entertain and they do a really great job at it. Some people choose to take it to far though and begin obssesing with the idea of being just like the star. At times even wanting to be with them. It's actually kind of creepy and I don't understand how people actually allow themselves to go that far.

I totally agree that privacy is a big deal. But I've always dreamed of being famous, and I'm a bit torn between being a star or something else... :( suggestions?
