Being a Celebrity

As the title suggests, being a celebrity has its perks and privileges, but sometimes it is shadowed by the publicity or invasion of privacy that some celebrities crave. I for one would not want to one of those celebrities, where even your sneeze or some little accident becomes front page news on tabloid magazines or even if it is not true becomes a gossip columnist’s paycheck for a while. Then you start to refute that gossip and it becomes a snowball of more gossip or truth and lies that you can’t control. It is a whole industry out there where the hungry entertainment media wants to dwell on the success and the miseries of the stars.

But I also believe that it is not a fault of theirs alone, as some of the same stars when they are not that famous try to have every opportunity to be in the news and when they become one crave for the private lives they once had. And in all this the normal folks sometimes crave or sometimes even enjoy the success and the miseries of these stars. They become jealous because of the stars immense status and success but they also enjoy in their miseries. These stars have the advantage of being invited into exclusive parties but they are also scrutinized intensely even for little mishaps or happenings. This is the biggest disgusting thing that I believe which makes me really cringe for the privacy that I so much cherish. Being famous would be fun but to be constant under radar for little things and invasion of privacy into your family lives and beyond is where I draw the line and then I need my obscurity and anonymous but it is hard to have both I guess.
