Why be a Celebrity?


How awesome would it be to be a celebrity? Think about it, you would be popular, have lots of money, nice cars, nice clothes, and even eat at expensive restaurants all the time. Isn't becoming a famous person what most people strive to be in their life?

It seems to me that people spend their whole lives trying to become famous. They want the nice crap that the other rich people have and all the famous friends that normal people dream about. But most of all, I believe that the top reason people try to become famous is because they want the attention to be on themselves. People just want to be noticed, and it is amazing what people go through for their fame.

Average ordinary people will get another job to purchase the designer clothes and accessories. They may even stop doing everything and go partying so people will just notice them and hope that everything will be alright in the end. For most people these methods probably don't work and they end up worse than before, but for others that get lucky, this dream may become a reality.

Don't get me wrong, many celebrities have become famous due to their hard work and accomplishments. Athletes, actors, and actresses come to my mind, but some people are famous just because of their looks and luck.

But what happens when you do get famous? Does the cliché 15 minutes of fame come to mind? Celebrities get tired of being noticed and try to hide from all the attention. They want to be famous but not seen in public with normal everyday clothes or without a lot of makeup. This seems like a contradiction to me.

The point is that people spend their whole lives trying to get famous and become a celebrity, but once they have accomplished this goal they don't want to be noticed at all.
